Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 50

The piercing damage of the wildebeests is devastating when inflicted on living creatures, but against structures, it falls short.

"Thud, thud, thud…"

"Neigh, neigh, neigh…"

With each collision, the wildebeest's horn would embed itself into the wooden fence, and then it would take some time for the creature to shake its head and pull the horn free.

At the same time, due to the influence of the Flower of Creation, after each extraction, they seemed to forget their previous experience and continued to ram into the wall, their horns stuck again, only to pull their heads free once more. This cycle repeated, making them appear somewhat clumsy and even a little endearing.

As for whether the wooden fence would be damaged, there was no need to worry.

Although the fence was made of wood, it was still a basic defensive structure. Each attack from the wildebeests only reduced its durability by a maximum of 5 points, and each section of the fence had a durability of 300. Effective destruction of such structures required specialized siege equipment.

To be safe, Ye Bai had constructed a double-layered wooden fence. If one layer fell, there was still another.

More importantly, defensive structures could be repaired by villagers using tools. If both layers' durability dropped too low, another villager could be called in to repair them, restoring the fence to its former state.

However, looking at the sky, dawn wasn't far off, and Ye Bai felt these considerations were unnecessary.

Once the sun rose, the effects of the Tree of Creation's upgrade would wear off, and the wildebeests would return to a neutral state. As long as no one attacked them, they wouldn't even attempt to break through the wooden fence and would simply roam within the enclosure.

In this way, Ye Bai had effectively "relocated" the wildebeest spawning point to his own territory.

As for Dennis, who had rushed back to the Merchant Guild to capture the wildebeest herd… Ye Bai could only wish him luck.

"Phew…"

Having dealt with the critical issue of the wildebeests, Ye Bai relaxed and turned his attention to other matters in the territory.

The wolf pack had already been dealt with, and the wild boars were being cleared from the battlefield. Only the brown bear remained, with just a sliver of health left, steadily decreasing.

Other than that, there were no signs of any other monsters in the vicinity.

Is that all?

Just these monsters after leveling up twice?

Ye Bai had been on guard, expecting some additional commotion, but as the sky gradually brightened and the sun's outline appeared on the horizon, no boss-level monsters or anything of the sort showed up.

Apart from the brief tension caused by the wildebeests, the night had passed quite smoothly!

While it was a relief, Ye Bai couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of disappointment.

However, upon reflection, this outcome made sense—the upgrade pace of Baiye Village was relatively rapid, causing the surrounding monsters' "respawn rate" to lag behind.

During the first upgrade, Ye Bai hadn't delayed in driving off the enemies but had instead proactively cleared the surrounding area of fierce beasts. These beast populations followed certain natural laws; once the original group was wiped out, it wasn't possible for a new large group to emerge within a few days.

As for the wildebeest herd and the more distant crocodile group, which should have been the main forces during this territory upgrade, one was trapped by Ye Bai's traps, and the other had been cleared out earlier while opening trade routes. As a result, this double-level upgrade only brought a few scattered monsters, which, in Ye Bai's eyes, lacked any real "prestige."

"Alright then…" Ye Bai stretched and began the cleanup work after the territory upgrade.

Meanwhile, in Ruilan Village.

"Phew…" Seeing the sky finally brighten, signaling the end of the Flower of Creation's effects, Zeta let out a long sigh of relief.

However, looking at the state of her territory, she was on the verge of tears.

Knowing that beast attacks were imminent, she had diverted a significant portion of her workforce to the blacksmith's shop, hastily crafting basic weapons to arm the villagers against the danger.

Unlike Ye Bai's "luck," only wolves and wild boars had attacked Ruilan Village that night.

Zeta understood the importance of her villagers and, under her effective leadership, no villagers had died during the attack, though a few had sustained minor injuries. Zeta herself had taken to the frontlines, killing many of the wolves that had rushed toward the Tree of Creation.

As for the wild boars… Zeta still gritted her teeth at the thought.

Because the territory's food reserves had always been low, Zeta hadn't built a cellar to store food, instead keeping it in the open storage yard along with other materials. She hadn't expected the wild boars, even in their frenzy, to prioritize their appetite above all else.

The wild boars that entered Ruilan Village had discovered the food first and, instead of charging at the Tree of Creation, had swarmed the storage yard, devouring the already scarce food supplies. Even the farmland hadn't been spared.

Under the effects of the Tree of Creation's bloom, the crops in the farmland had ripened. Lacking experience and preoccupied with organizing the villagers to craft weapons, Zeta hadn't immediately harvested the crops.

As a result, during the night, the newly cultivated fields were ravaged by the wild boars. The newly grown crops, which Zeta hadn't even had time to identify, were reduced to mere stubs.

Zeta was furious, but she had to prioritize leading the villagers to deal with the wolves and couldn't attend to the wild boars in time.

By the time she had dealt with the troublesome wolf pack, the night was over.

The wild boars, having eaten everything edible in the territory, no longer attacked the village. Instead, they left behind a scene of devastation and scattered with satisfied grunts!

This territory upgrade had cost Zeta a significant amount of food and resources that should have been used for development. Even with the wolf carcasses as a reward, the losses couldn't be offset.

To make matters worse, after opening the upgraded tech tree, Zeta found no buildings related to trade routes, except for a market.

So… how had Baiye managed it?

Zeta logged off, and upon returning to reality, she didn't need to explain much. The events of the territory upgrade night were automatically shared with the waiting research team members.

Their expressions, initially filled with anticipation, now turned grim.

At the same time, Zeta received a congratulatory message from Xi Mo, a council member of the Kain Federation, celebrating her territory upgrade.

After the upgrade, Zeta's territory rating had surged from 46 to 89. Xi Mo, who could see the upgrade conditions on the Development Strategy page, naturally knew Zeta had leveled up.

This message was two parts politeness as a fellow cosmic civilization leader and eight parts probing a competitor.

Originally, whether in reality or in the Boundless Realm, the two civilizations had always viewed each other as their sole rivals… until Baiye emerged out of nowhere in the Boundless Realm.

"Just respond with the usual formalities," Zeta decided immediately, and her assistant instantly understood her meaning.

They couldn't appear too enthusiastic or too indifferent—essentially, they couldn't let Xi Mo find out in advance that territory upgrades would trigger monster attacks.

—If she had to suffer, she wasn't going to let her competitor know to bring an umbrella!

…

Back in Baiye Village, by the Tree of Creation, Ye Bai opened the long-awaited Development Strategy page after the upgrade.

It was time to change policy cards again.

This time, after "Pioneering Spirit" and "Thriving Prosperity," the final early-game god-tier card, "Enduring Hardship," had also disappeared.

Entertainment needs had become the fourth basic demand for villagers, joining food, water, and health as necessities the lord had to fulfill.

Fortunately, luxury goods were still too advanced for a village. Although "Enduring Hardship" was gone, a similar policy card, "Hardworking Simplicity," had appeared.

"Hardworking Simplicity": All villagers have no luxury needs and no personal hobby requirements.

At the same time, the "Pioneer" card, which had occupied a slot and couldn't be replaced, finally disappeared naturally. This allowed Ye Bai to keep Carrie and also freed up a slot for a new, useful policy card.

Ye Bai chose the newly available policy, "Work-Life Balance": Residents with an entertainment value above 60 gain a 30% increase in work efficiency and a 30% boost in skill proficiency growth rate.

In addition to this, there were two other policies: "Hidden Paradise," which enhances population attractiveness, and "Bountiful Harvest," which increases food production. Ye Bai did not select these, as she could compensate for their effects through other means. Using policy cards for such purposes seemed too costly.

Two other new policy cards were essentially upgrades of existing ones, offering enhanced effects:

- "Reward System II": Increases the promotion speed of primary professions in the territory by 30%.

- "Military Training II": Increases the advancement speed of primary combat professions in the territory by 30%.

Ultimately, the development strategy confirmed for Baiye Village at Level 3 territory was: "Traveling Merchants," "Diligence and Simplicity," "Reward System II," and "Work-Life Balance."

The requirements to upgrade to the next level, Level 4 territory, were also revealed: the population must reach 180; there must be 6 production buildings staffed by professional workers; and the territory must possess 50 primary military units.

Having 6 production buildings staffed by professional workers meant Ye Bai could no longer rely on combat professions to fill the roles as before. She would now need to genuinely cultivate professionals to work in the relevant buildings. As for the 50 primary military units, militias would not suffice. She would need to establish dedicated barracks and differentiate between various military branches.

Military ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍units imply a structured system with standardized equipment, and these would be the first villagers in the territory to receive a salary.

Military units trained in different barracks are akin to an early form of specialization. Training these units consumes significant resources and productivity, but the results are highly rewarding once they are fully trained.

After finalizing the policies, Ye Bai opened the "Development Direction" menu. At this point, her productivity had reached its highest level ever.

Returning to the territory at 12 o'clock had cost 4 points, but with the 20 points rewarded for advancing from Level 1 to Level 3, she now had a total of 28 productivity points!

Without hesitation, she immediately began allocating them.
