Chapter 235 Feiying's Growth
"You can do it yourself? Are you sure?"
Baiying looked at Feiying through the rearview mirror, her tone full of doubt:
"My little goblin, are you sure you can do this? You know, this is not a joke."
Faced with Baiying's questioning, Feiying suddenly hesitated.
Her fingers twisted together unconsciously, and she struggled internally for a long time.
The figure of Tao Yao lying on the hospital bed and smiling at her kept appearing in her mind.
Every detail is so real and so heartbreaking.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to be firm:
"It's just fake, I'm sure I can do it!"
"This Tao Yao is not real at all. She is just my fantasy, a phantom created by my deep longing for Tao Yao!"
If it was the real Tao Yao, Feiying would never be able to kill her, let alone hurt a hair on her head.
The person who held such an important place in her life was someone she could never hurt.
Every time she thought of Taoyao, her heart would be filled with infinite warmth and guilt.
But the Tao Yao she saw now was, after all, just a phantom in the spiritual world, a projection of her deepest wishes.
Although it would be painful for her to take action against the fake Tao Yao, she believed that she could bear to do it.
After all, it was just a dream, an illusion that needed to be broken.
Baiying, who was driving, remained calm, but there was a hint of worry in her tone:
"Little goblin, you have to think it over carefully."
"For you, even if it's a fake Tao Yao, killing her with your own hands won't make you feel good."
"That kind of pain is probably beyond your imagination now."
"After all, her every move and even the tone of her voice are exactly the same as the real Tao Yao."
Baiying's voice was still calm, but every word struck Feiying's heart:
"Can you really do this to a face that looks exactly like the real Tao Yao? Can you bear the pain of killing a loved one with your own hands?"
"Bai Ying, you don't have to persuade me anymore."
Feiying's voice became much firmer, and her eyes flashed with determination.
"This is my decision. When the time is right, I will personally get rid of this Tao Yao in the spiritual realm who looks very real, but is actually a fake."
She paused, took a deep breath, and spoke with unprecedented firmness:
"After all, it's not like I can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood."
"You are real, and Taoyao is fake."
"I will take you out, and then we will go find the powerful End together."
"Let's go and bring back the real Taoyao from reality!"
The sunlight poured in through the front windshield, weaving a golden veil between the two of them.
This ray of sunlight seemed to give Feiying some courage, making her voice even more resolute:
“I know it’s going to be difficult, but it’s the only way.”
"Only by breaking this false dream can we return to the real world."
"Only by returning to the real world can we find a way to save the real Taoyao."
Baiying didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly.
The red light ahead turned green and the car started again.
……
The vehicle passed through the busy streets and after a while, drove into the business district where Taoyao Company was located.
The towering glass buildings sparkle in the sun, reflecting the city's unique modern atmosphere.
Baiying parked the car steadily in the parking space in front of the company building.
"Do you need me to go up with you?"
Baiying turned to look at Feiying, her voice soft.
She knew that Feiying must be feeling very complicated at the moment, after all, she had to face a "Taoyao" who was about to be destroyed by her own hands.
Such a situation would be a huge test for anyone.
Feiying shook her head, her long hair swaying gently:
"No need. Baiying, you've helped me enough."
"And what I am going to do next is just a willful act in this dream."
She took a deep breath and whispered, "I will try my best to help Taoyao develop the game "Fairy Journey" as quickly as possible."
"After that, I will end this dream myself."
"I owe her this, and it's something I have to do."
Bai Ying, who was sitting in the driver's seat, showed a gentle smile, which was filled with understanding and encouragement:
"Well, whatever, just do what you want. I'll support you no matter what choice you make."
Faced with Baiying's calm and composed attitude, Feiying suddenly felt a little hesitant.
She lowered her head, her eyes fell on her intertwined fingers, and there was some confusion in her voice:
"Bai Ying...don't you think that what I'm doing is a bit unnecessary?"
Her voice became lower and lower:
"Anyway, this is just a spiritual realm. This is a false dream."
"I will have to leave eventually... Everything will disappear, nothing will be left."
Feiying was very clear about the essence of all this.
In this spiritual world created by the Eternal Fairy, no matter what she does, it will eventually disappear like a bubble.
Even if she really helped Taoyao complete the game development, everything would vanish into nothingness the moment the dream ended.
Every detail and every moment in this world is just a projection of her deepest wishes.
Whether it was the busy employees in the company or Tao Yao who smiled at her, they were all just illusory shadows.
All the efforts she has made and everything she has experienced will become nothing when she wakes up from the dream.
This realization made her feel a little painful, but she couldn't deny the fact.
All her efforts were nothing but illusions and had no practical significance.
This feeling of futility filled her heart with contradictions.
But Bai Ying shook her head, and her tone became particularly serious:
"Feiying, this is not unnecessary."
"After all, there are things that need to be done now."
"We don't know what the future will be like. If we don't do it now, there may not be similar opportunities again in the future."
"It's not that we don't want to, but we may not have such an opportunity again."
Her voice was gentle and firm, and every word seemed to carry some kind of power:
"Besides, it's not just Taoyao. I'm also looking forward to the results of your game development."
"It helps me understand you better, and myself better."
“Sometimes, the process itself is the meaning.”
Hearing Baiying's words, Feiying's eyes became moist.
This being who looks exactly like her can always say the most appropriate words to comfort her.
She looked at Baiying deeply:
"Thank you, Shirayakura."
"Without your help, I would have been lost in this dream."
After saying that, she opened the car door and walked out.
The warm sunlight shone on her body, casting a slender shadow on her.
Her steps were firm and powerful, and she walked towards the glass door of the company building without any hesitation.
The glass door of the building opened automatically in front of her, and cool air-conditioned wind blew towards her.
Her figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the building, leaving Baiying sitting alone in the car, staring at her back with a faint smile on her lips.
……
……
Feiying has been to Taoyao's company many times, and her footprints are left in almost every corner.
Every time she visited, Tao Yao would personally take her around the company and introduce every position to her.
The dazzling game special effects, exquisite original painting designs, and various novel and unique game mechanisms all made her feel extremely excited.
Nowadays, most employees in the company know her.
From the front desk receptionist to the staff in various departments to the senior management, everyone was accustomed to her arrival.
They all knew the subtle and special relationship between Feiying and Taoyao.
More importantly, they all knew that almost all the core ideas of the game "Fairy Journey" that the company was currently developing came from Feiying's ideas.
This project has been deeply personal since its inception.
Every detail in the game, from the initial world view setting, to the subsequent plot direction, to the various mechanisms in the game, is full of Feiying's unique thinking.
For example, the mysterious fairy world was constructed bit by bit based on Feiying's description.
The fairy characters with different personalities in the game are also designed based on Feiying's imagination.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a game specially tailored for Feiying.
Taoyao invested almost all of the company's energy into this project, hoping to perfectly restore the fantasy world in Feiying's mind.
Under the eager gazes of the employees, Feiying walked towards the elevator with ease.
The transparent elevator slowly rises, and the city view unfolds beneath your feet.
In this bustling city, Taoyao's company is like a shining pearl, attracting the attention of countless game enthusiasts.
Soon, the elevator reached the top floor.
Feiying walked out of the elevator, crossed the spacious corridor, and came to Taoyao's office.
This spacious and bright office is filled with a variety of gaming peripherals, and several exquisite original game paintings are hung on the walls.
Among them are some concept design drawings of "Leprechaun Journey", each of which is full of fantasy colors.
She sat down naturally in front of Taoyao's desk, her eyes falling on the neatly arranged documents on the table.
These files include project progress reports, market research data, financial statements, etc., which are all the work that Taoyao needs to deal with on a daily basis.
Looking around, she couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"So this is what it feels like for Taoyao to work alone..."
She reached out and picked up the landline phone on the table, and dialed a familiar extension number just like Tao Yao usually did.
She had seen this action countless times. Tao Yao always used this neat and efficient way to gather her subordinates.
The call was answered quickly.
"Let Xiaoheng come up for a moment."
She imitated Taoyao from the past.
He said this in a deliberately mock serious tone, trying his best to sound like a real president.
Hearing a strange yet familiar voice.
The operator on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned.
But she quickly reacted and replied in a respectful tone:
"Okay, ma'am."
This title made Feiying feel a little uncomfortable.
This subtle difference always made her feel a little strange.
Not long after, a young woman in formal attire appeared at the office door.
The game development manager named Xiaoheng stood there expressionlessly, staring straight at Feiying who was sitting in the boss's seat.
