Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 52

"Gurgle..."

Ye Bai finished the bottle of nutrient solution in her hand, which served as her in-flight meal—no, her spaceship meal.

To be honest, the free nutrient solution provided by the Stellar Alliance on this deportation spaceship was far better than anything Ye Bai could buy on Blue Star. Not only did it taste good, but it also provided enough nutrients to sustain her for 2 to 3 days.

The journey from Makur Star to the Phantom Sea Galaxy would take 12 and a half days, equivalent to 25 in-game days. At this point, Ye Bai had spent 10 days in the game, while in reality, the spaceship had traveled less than half the distance.

Of course, in space, there was no concept of a 24-hour day. Apart from Blue Star, the day-night cycles on other planets varied. Ye Bai had set her "biological clock" to Blue Star time using her personal terminal to keep track of the days.

Throughout the universe, intelligent beings lived by their own calendars. However, thanks to the influence of the "Ten Thousand Realms," civilizations had begun to widely adopt the day-night cycle of the game to describe the passage of time, creating a subtle trend toward unification.

The deportation spaceship wasn’t carrying just Ye Bai. Makur Star was a well-known entertainment planet, and after the incident, many tourists from the Phantom Sea Galaxy had also evacuated from there.

Ye Bai was in the passenger cabin, where each guest’s area was separated by soundproof and lightproof materials, forming small individual rooms that ensured privacy. Still, she could sense the presence of 11 other beings nearby.

With a thought, the ceiling of her cabin became transparent, revealing a vast expanse of stars.

The spaceship was in the middle of a spatial jump, and with each blink of her eyes, the starry scene outside changed.

The magnificent view stirred a profound sense of awe in her heart.

In the vast, unknown sea of stars, the spaceship seemed so insignificant, and intelligent life even more so.

After a while, Ye Bai closed the transparent wall, sat back in her rest pod, and returned to the game.

It was a new day in White Night Village, and four in-game days had passed since the territory’s upgrade.

After deciding to go to the Divine Realm, Ye Bai wasn’t in a rush to leave immediately.

The territory’s source energy crystal mine needed a few more days to accumulate enough resources to build the Well of Origin. Moreover, before venturing into such a high-level area, Ye Bai needed to make some preparations.

Most of the buildings Ye Bai had planned were now completed. Apart from the salt mine, which required ongoing excavation, even the most labor-intensive structures like the bathhouse and barracks were finished.

Ye Bai had assigned all 30 of her recently recruited militiamen to train in the barracks. She also appointed three of her personal guards—those most skilled with bows and crossbows, as well as those with the highest strength and speed attributes—as instructors.

The barracks allowed for the assignment of instructors based on the number of trainees. One instructor could lead a team of ten, or no instructor could be assigned at all. Instructors acted as a professional aura; without them, the maximum level of the trained soldiers couldn’t exceed that of the instructor. However, under an instructor’s guidance, soldiers would gain additional proficiency bonuses in the instructor’s area of expertise.

For the limited types of troops available, Ye Bai chose to train all her militiamen as crossbowmen.

Crossbowmen were an advanced class of archers, specializing in ranged physical attacks. Other available options at this stage included sword-and-shield soldiers, axemen, and light cavalry.

As the territory’s level increased, more troop types would become available. Aligning with specific schools of thought could also unlock unique units, such as battle mages from the Magic School, gunners from the Alchemy School, or demon warriors from the Chaos School.

Ye Bai chose crossbowmen because of the territory’s energy resources. As soon as Vider, the blacksmith, became a professional, he could start crafting weapons for the soldiers.

With the soldiers now in training, Ye Bai needed to pay them a monthly wage of 1 silver coin each—her personal guards received 3 silver coins per month. Given her current finances, this was manageable.

As for the other villagers, since the territory was still at the village level, Ye Bai provided them with food and facilities without paying wages. In fact, she collected a tax of 2 copper coins from each villager every month. However, once the territory reached town level, she would need to implement a more systematic financial management system.

While planning the territory’s future commercial development, Ye Bai suddenly heard a notification:

[Your territory’s herbalist, Lucy, has worked tirelessly day and night. In a moment of inspiration, she has become a professional Herbalist.]

Good news!

This was the first true professional cultivated within the territory. Ye Bai inwardly praised Lucy for her diligence, as she had achieved this faster than expected. It was worth giving her one of the two precious drops of Transformation Blood.

Ye Bai was about to go and congratulate Lucy but suddenly paused and checked the villager panel.

Sure enough, Felix was no longer in a state of illness and had returned to full health. However, a blue exclamation mark still floated above his head, indicating his unique status as a special talent.

Ye Bai decisively chose not to approach him—as long as she avoided him, she wouldn’t trigger any quests.

She could easily guess that Felix’s personal quest was related to the Chaos School. Right now, she had no time to travel to a Chaos-aligned city to complete such a task. At the very least, she’d have to wait until she returned from the Divine Realm.

Ye Bai opened the territory’s work assignment page and sent Felix to work temporarily in the blacksmith’s forge.

Villagers with unresolved personal quests wouldn’t lose satisfaction when reassigned. Besides, as a descendant of the sun with an affinity for fire, sending him to work by the forge for a while made perfect sense!

Just as she finished this, a villager came to find her.

"Lord, the well on the blueprint has been completed. We’re just missing the final material."

The Philosopher’s Stone, which she had received as an achievement reward, was a personal item bound to Ye Bai and stored in her inventory. Without her, the villagers couldn’t access it.

Hearing this, Ye Bai was slightly surprised. She hadn’t expected the Well of Origin to be completed so quickly, especially since she had only gathered enough source energy crystals yesterday.

"Let’s go."

Ye Bai followed the villager to the construction site of the Well of Origin.

The location was near the military district, close to the Tree of Creation. In the middle of an open area stood an unremarkable well, looking no different from an ordinary water well.

When planning the Well of Origin, Ye Bai noticed that the structure had no "collision volume," meaning it could overlap with other buildings.

So, she had placed it directly on the future site of the [Mayor’s Office].

Once the Mayor’s Office was built, it would completely cover the Well of Origin. Safety first—after all, the well’s value far exceeded that of the source energy crystal mine.

Approaching the well, which was 99% complete, Ye Bai followed the builder’s instructions and took the Philosopher’s Stone from her inventory, dropping it into the well.

"Plop!"

Despite being an empty well, the sound of something hitting water echoed as the stone fell in.

Immediately, a strange, shimmering light flowed out from the well, blurring the line between illusion and reality. The sound of flowing water filled the air, and the light enveloped the entire well.

In the next moment, Ye Bai saw the solid well transform before her eyes, becoming a translucent, semi-transparent structure.

When she regained her senses, the ground was dry, as if no "water" had ever flowed out.

"What… happened? It disappeared?" The villager behind her exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Bai turned to him and asked, "You didn’t see it?"

The villager shook his head earnestly.

"I see. It’s fine. You can go back now." Ye Bai waited for the villager to leave before turning back to the Well of Origin. After a moment’s hesitation, she reached out and touched its edge.

"..."

Her fingertips felt the cool surface of the well—it was still solid.

The Well of Origin was only accessible to those with divine blood (players). To NPCs, it was completely invisible.

Retracting her hand, Ye Bai recalled that the territory system hadn’t announced the completion of the wonder. She nodded in satisfaction—good, this was something that couldn’t be made public.

But then, on a whim, she opened the leaderboard—

First place: White Night, Territory Score: 14,561

Seeing the score that had directly skyrocketed by 10,000 points from its original value, Ye Bai pondered... Well, never mind, she stopped thinking about it. Since it was already built, she decided to let others speculate as they wished.
