Mo Yi: I Probably Do Like Her
"What a coincidence—"
Mo Yi's subordinate, the leader of the "Oli Gei" group, was initially taken aback, then smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, what a coincidence—"
Then, Mo Yi opened up another line.
"It's over again."
Within the Her Highness the Princess's time barrier, Mo Yi had no idea how much time had passed; in any case, he had already achieved five different endings.
I have to say, this game is really good. Just like when I first encountered a game console, I got hooked without even realizing it.
Putting aside the original artwork, plot, and soundtrack, it was the emotions and ideas contained in the game that truly captivated Mo Yi. For example, the thought process and lines spoken by the male protagonist controlled by Mo Yi felt as if Mo Yi himself would think and say similar things in that scene. This was the biggest reason why Mo Yi became so engrossed in the game.
Your Her Highness the Princess: That's right. This male protagonist was created based on data from my research on Princess, a psychology master.
In this situation, you'll naturally feel a strong sense of immersion! That's the true power of a great inventor.
Although Mo Yi still wanted to complain that having only one romance option for the Princess was a drawback, the fact that he could romance the Princess with different identities and in different ways was not boring at all; in fact, it was quite interesting.
The Princess in the game maintains a consistent personality overall, but undergoes subtle changes due to different encounters (different times and ways of meeting the protagonist). Just like different methods can cultivate different flowers, it's clear that the Princess in the game is not a fixed game character, but a 'living' person with joys and sorrows.
There is only one Princess in the game, but different storylines showcase different Princess, ultimately converging into a multifaceted and three-dimensional Princess.
At this moment, Mo Yi could only sigh and think that he seemed to have fallen in love with the Princess in the game.
Just like when I fell in love with Illya in the world of 2D, even though I knew she didn't exist, she just lived in my heart.
Hmm, that's not quite right either. Mo Yi could sense that the Princess in the game was probably modeled after the Princess beside him, but the events in the game were ultimately just fiction.
Moreover, Her Highness the Princess had repeatedly hinted to Mo Yi that he shouldn't be her lapdog, and that she only considered him a good friend.
Therefore, Mo Yi could only entrust the stirrings in his heart to the paper Princess created in his mind because of the game, realizing that he was ultimately not the male protagonist who would save her.
At this moment, Mo Yi suddenly wanted to know a question: Did the Princess really encounter a male protagonist in the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter who went to great lengths to 'save' her? Is that why she created this game to commemorate someone who should have faded away with time because of those past memories?
"What's the matter?"
Her Highness the Princess, who had been observing Mo Yi's expression, was very satisfied. Mo Yi's expression clearly showed that he had fallen in love with 'himself' in the game. As long as she guided him properly, this affection could easily be transferred from the game to himself.
After all, the character she portrays in the game was created using her as a template, and in real life, she would probably react the same way if she encountered that situation.
However, she suddenly noticed that Mo Yi was standing there, looking rather pale, as if he was thinking about something. She wondered to herself: Could it be that he played for too long and got too tired?
"Mo Yi, are you too tired? Then save it for later and take a nap first."
P. S.: I dreamt about Princess today. Um, I guess I was just too confused about the plot. So, I must say, I really love Princess; she's the only Heroine I dream about.
Chapter 141: Alice's Story: At this moment, Mo Yi was in a dark little room when suddenly countless candlelight illuminated the surroundings. Before him stood his Mother Goddess Qi, whom he had bumped into earlier. Mo Yi had been pulled into this secluded place by her; in her words, it was for a quiet conversation, so Alice wouldn't know. At this moment, Mo Yi deeply regretted using "seeing her in Alice's sketchbook" as his reason for getting to know her. The assassin was staring at Mo Yi with tearful eyes, as if to say, "If you don't agree to steal that sketchbook for her, I won't let Mo Yi go." The problem was, there was no sketchbook in reality! "Uh (⊙o⊙)..." To gain Shen Qi's favor and prevent her from objecting to his relationship with Alice, Mo Yi had no choice but to agree to most of her demands, such as becoming her spy, reporting on Alice's affairs, and helping her gain Alice's favor. Of course, his first task now was to steal that non-existent sketchbook and show her what Alice looked like in her drawings.
Chapter 254: Mo Yi: I guess it's just liking someone.
The Her Highness the Princess said she would let Mo Yi rest after he had gone through more than ten storylines in the game, but seeing that Mo Yi seemed very tired, she abandoned the original plan.
After all, Mo Yi isn't like her, who can be resurrected on the spot after dying suddenly, no matter how tired or sleepy she is. The other party still has her own things to do, so how could Her Highness the Princess delay the other party's important matters because of her own little thoughts?
Yes, of course, the apparent success of 'Game Strategy Mo Yi' also plays a part. Now that the goal has been achieved, there's no need to tinker with your 'toy' anymore.
After all, I, the Princess, am not some kind of devil!
"Ah (⊙o⊙)..."
Mo Yi wanted to continue playing the game. Although he was indeed very tired, he still wanted to keep playing. The Princess in the game was so cute and charming. He really wanted to bully her and win her over in various ways. Unfortunately, there were no precious CGs to collect.
Upon hearing the Princess's words, Mo Yi realized that he had been playing for a long time, probably more than ten hours, and felt both empty and excited.
It's a very contradictory state; I know I'm very tired, but I still really want to keep playing.
"Actually, it's alright—"
"You look so tired, let's play later. You're not like me, you don't have an immortal body—"
The Her Highness the Princess thought Mo Yi was just putting on a brave face. She knew that men value their pride, and Mo Yi was no exception. So she reached out and turned off the game for him, shutting down the computer in one smooth motion.
"I'll give you the game later, and you can play it at your leisure when you get back."
"Let's rest for a bit now. We have important business to attend to later, and we can't afford to mess it up."
Mo Yi: "..."
I never imagined that I, Mo Yi, would be forced to quit the game, and that person was none other than Her Highness the Princess who was even more addicted to games than I was.
To be honest, I have mixed feelings.
But Mo Yi felt unexpectedly happy? Joyful? This feeling reminded Mo Yi of the times when his mother would force him to unplug the power cord and go to bed if he played games or watched TV too late.
I really miss those days!
Unexpectedly, the Her Highness the Princess, when she takes a tough stance, possesses a unique charm.
The Her Highness the Princess even turned off her computer, and Mo Yi just smiled and asked the Her Highness the Princess to take him somewhere to nap and replenish his energy!
"Don't go through all that trouble, isn't it fine here?"
The Her Highness the Princess explained nonchalantly, adding that she could activate a time barrier here so Mo Yi rest and sleep as much as he wanted. When he woke up, only a moment would have passed in the outside world.
"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."
The Princess's words make a lot of sense. However, if he were to sleep, the Princess who was maintaining the time barrier would have to stay by Mo Yi's side. Just thinking about it made him feel very bored and lonely.
In an instant, the Her Highness the Princess could guess what Mo Yi was thinking from his expression. In any case, apart from his poor ability to understand others' thoughts, he met the Princess's requirements in every other way, such as being considerate and gentle at this moment.
Of course, it's not necessarily a bad thing to always misunderstand others' intentions and think things in the wrong way. After all, the Princess and Mo Yi are separated by two dimensions, and the other party has a group of rare beasts eyeing them covetously: Pikachu Mei, Kiana Ji Anya, and Vampire Cat Theresa.
Fortunately Mo Yi always misunderstood, otherwise the other party would have been won over. Therefore, before the Her Highness the Princess figured out how to connect Mo Yi's world, she did not intend to expose the matter and help Mo Yi upgrade his self-righteous emotional intelligence.
What you need to do now is to increase your own importance, integrate yourself into the other person's life, make the other person subconsciously unable to live without you, and when the time is right, go straight for it and win the MVP of the whole game!
"Fine--"
The Her Highness the Princess pulled a handheld game console from under the bed, waved it in front of Mo Yi, and laughed, "Don't think that you're only sleeping for a short time. I usually play games on a day-by-day basis. You can just sleep."
Mo Yi: "..."
Alright, since Her Highness the Princess has said so, Mo Yi won't be coy.
