Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 77
Ye Bai finished handling her real-world affairs and logged back into the game—it was already the second in-game day.
Only nine game days remained until the next wave of refugees would arrive. By now, the territory’s basic infrastructure had been fully developed. Apart from technologies locked behind reaching a Level 4 settlement, White Night Village had already unlocked and built everything possible.
The current focus was stockpiling materials, with stone being the most urgently needed resource for the large-scale construction required once White Night Village upgraded to a town.
As settlements expanded to town-level, increased population demanded extensive stone and labor to build sewage systems. Additionally, the village’s dirt roads needed upgrading to paved stone paths. Compared to dirt roads, villagers could move 15% faster on stone-paved roads, with cobblestone roads offering a 10% speed boost as an intermediate option.
Ye Bai, flush with wealth, opted directly for the highest-tier town-level roads to avoid future renovations. The only upgrade beyond that was the 【Brick-Paved Boulevard】, exclusive to city-level settlements, which increased villager movement speed by 25%.
Aside from assigning villagers to gather stone, Ye Bai also posted procurement notices in both the territory’s marketplace and the Merchant Guild.
Thanks to the allure of the fine-grade Night Raiment, a merchant caravan from Tute City was already en route to White Night Village for trade. The marketplace procurement, however, targeted players—offering prices no higher than the Merchant Guild’s standard rates. Given White Night Village’s growing notoriety, many lurking spies, unwilling to provoke the village but eager to gather intel, had taken to lingering nearby.
Like NPC villagers in other towns, some of White Night Village’s residents occasionally posted minor tasks for players. However, with demand far outstripping supply—everyone eager to grind reputation with the village to see what rewards might follow—Ye Bai’s “Gather Stone” quest became highly sought-after.
The daily 1 silver coin procurement quota was consistently met, effectively providing an extra batch of free labor. This was exactly the outcome Ye Bai desired—any problem solvable with money wasn’t a problem at all.
Of course, despite her words, the 10 gold coins in her inventory still left her feeling uneasy. Having once held the staggering sum of 200 gold, she couldn’t help but feel the difference.

Leaving her guards to monitor the players in the territory, Ye Bai quietly slipped away alone into the wilderness.
BOSS respawns took time, and areas recently cleared by players wouldn’t see new ones anytime soon. Leveraging her current combat advantage, Ye Bai planned to sweep all nearby BOSSes—earning gold while preemptively thinning out the monsters that would spawn after the territory’s upgrade.
Her targets were strictly BOSSes. Creatures like wolf packs and wild bears were left untouched, reserved for training the first batch of soldiers during future monster attacks. By her calculations, they’d be enough to raise the soldiers’ levels to around 20.
Unlike player templates, NPCs required less experience to level up—though their combat flexibility was also far more limited.
As for the players in the territory, after several rounds of deterrence, Ye Bai had firmly cemented White Night Village as off-limits to these interstellar agents. And if anyone foolishly stirred up major trouble, she was close enough to return in time.
……
“Grrr…”
On a hillside five miles from White Night Village, a silver-furred Wolf King collapsed with a thud as a fiery explosion—a Tier 2 spell 【Fireblast】—dealt 843 damage, emptying its health bar.
A mysterious figure, cloaked in a black mantle that concealed their features, placed a hand on the Wolf King’s body.
Obtained 【Tier 1 Skill Book】X1
Obtained 【Silver Wolf King Pelt】X1
Obtained 【Wolf King Fang】X2
Obtained 【Blood of Metamorphosis】X1
Obtained 【Premium Beast Meat】X4
Obtained 【Gold Coin】X10
Seeing the golden, book-shaped item pop up, the assassin beneath the cloak—Ye Bai—clenched her fist in excitement. “Yes! Finally, some luck!”
It was worth “warming up” her luck by opening river clams earlier.
Without hesitation, Ye Bai immediately used the skill book, gaining an extra skill point in her profession panel.
Opening the profession interface, she saw that she’d already allocated the three skill points earned upon reaching Level 35 before setting out to clear the wilderness of BOSSes.
【Whisperer】
Profession Trait: Omnimage
Effect: Unlocks all schools of magic (current tier: 2). All Tier 2 spells have 30% reduced cast range, 30% reduced spell power, and consume 2x additional mana.
Description: You have awakened the “Bloodline of Magic.” Pray for the favor of the elemental laws!
Current Profession Skills: Mana Siphon, Bloodline Enhancement I, Bloodline Enhancement II, Bloodline Ascension
Skill Points: 1
Her previous three skill points had gone into 【Bloodline Enhancement I】, 【Bloodline Enhancement II】, and unlocking 【Bloodline Ascension】—a skill requiring the first two as prerequisites.
The first two enhancements, as their names suggested, strengthened her profession trait “Bloodline of Magic.” At Level 20, her first skill point had gone into 【Mana Siphon】, allowing her to recover mana by dealing spell damage.
The latter two enhancements removed the initial penalties from all Tier 1 spells, while 【Bloodline Ascension】 granted her access to every Tier 2 spell.
For ordinary elemental mages, each Tier 2 spell required a separate skill point to learn. Ye Bai, however, had spent three points to master every Tier 2 spell available to first-tier magic professions:
Fireblast, Ice Spike, Quicksand, Poison Thorn, Chain Lightning, Purifying Light, Featherfall, Mind Link… all the most powerful spells a novice caster could wield.
Of course, the initial penalties still applied—now affecting her Tier 2 spells as well.
Ye Bai allocated her newly acquired skill point into 【Bloodline Enhancement III】, immediately reducing the penalties on Tier 2 spells to “15% reduced cast range, 15% reduced spell power, and 1x additional mana cost.”
As for her three talent points, she invested them in 【Agility】’s advanced talent 【Nimbleness】, as well as two standalone talents: 【Tenacity】 and 【Eagle Eye】.
**Agility**, as an enhanced version of **Flexibility**, directly replaces the **Flexibility** talent.
**[Agility]**
Passive Effect: Movement speed +10% when out of combat.
Unique Active Skill (**Rolling Dodge**): Perform a roll to evade up to a maximum distance of 6 meters. Damage taken during the roll (excluding Soul and True damage) is reduced by 30%. Cooldown: 5 seconds. No cost.
**[Endurance]** increases the bonus effects of Stamina and Resistance attributes by 10%.
If Ye Bai hadn’t gained such high Resistance in the dungeon’s river, she wouldn’t have unlocked this talent. But now that her Resistance attribute had reached 108, the talent’s value had skyrocketed.
After unlocking it, Ye Bai also noticed her real-world physical condition had improved—though with an unexpected side effect: she was ravenously hungry after logging out. She downed seven high-energy nutrient bottles in one go, nearly a month’s worth of her usual intake.
As for **[Eagle Eye]**, it expanded her maximum field of vision by 20% and increased ranged attack accuracy by 30%.
The most noticeable change after unlocking this talent was that moving objects seemed slower to her eyes—her dynamic vision had improved.
Though Ye Bai was still a "melee mage" for now, **Snowblade** would eventually be replaced. Otherwise, what would the divine artifact in her backpack, **[Tome of Death]**, think of her?
Another critical point was that her alter ego, the **Black-Cloaked Assassin**, who had appeared in **Tute City**, had to remain hidden from players for the time being.
So far, only NPCs had witnessed Lord **"White Night"** in battle—players hadn’t. Maintaining an air of mystery was a powerful deterrent.
More importantly, now that **White Night Village** had entered players’ sights, the surrounding area was swarming with them. On this trip to farm a boss, Ye Bai might run into opportunistic players trying to steal her kill. Staying true to her principle of *"no battle without spoils,"* she deliberately donned her assassin robes.
Not only would it conceal her identity, but if any greedy players tried to jump her target—well, too bad for them. Their backpacks and equipment would make fine compensation.
Sure enough, while Ye Bai was using the **Spiral Exploration Method** to map out the area beyond White Night Village and farm her second **Giant Bear King** boss, uninvited guests appeared.
"Roar…"
The Giant Bear King thrashed through the dense forest, chasing the mysterious figure in black. Every so often, a fireball would slam into it, sending it crashing through trees and leaving a trail of lumber in its wake. Its HP had already dropped to the dangerous 5% threshold.
Like the **Silver Wolf King**, fire dealt extra damage to furry beasts.
"Quick! We’re just in time—let’s steal the boss!"
A six-player party had arrived. One of them had spotted the level 21 **Giant Bear King** but knew he couldn’t take it alone, so he’d gathered friends to form a team. They’d even pre-negotiated loot distribution.
But when they arrived, they found the boss already at low health. Though it was clear the solo player had formidable skills, this was the perfect opportunity to steal the kill. With six of them, retreating wasn’t an option.
They acted swiftly. Two unleashed their highest-damage skills on the boss, while the other four targeted the black-cloaked figure with crowd-control abilities.
Yet, before their attacks could land, the cloaked figure nimbly drew her sword and slashed the boss once.
**BOOM!**
The residual burn marks on the bear’s fur erupted in a violent explosion.
The boss’s remaining HP bar vanished instantly.
**[Inferno Burst]**: Deals 340 base fire damage plus 35% of spell power. Detonates all active burn effects on the target, dealing 5x bonus explosion damage.
*‘I was hoping to use the bear to chop more trees…’* Ye Bai sighed inwardly before turning her gaze to the six players.
Well, if she couldn’t get lumber, she’d just have to recoup her losses elsewhere…
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Before they could react, the three players positioned farthest back—the ones most likely to flee—were already marked with the Assassin’s **Hunting Sigil**.
Fifteen minutes later, with a fresh haul of spoils, Ye Bai set off to find the next boss.
