Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 78
The appearance of a formidable black-robed assassin in the wilderness has recently become an enigma for players near Xilin Town.
Previously, Ye Bai, disguised as the black-robed assassin, had appeared in Tute City. However, the Macul Group mistook her for a hidden field boss at the time and mobilized their entire faction to hunt her down. Even after being wiped out, they didn’t disclose much about the incident.
Moreover, the Macul Group’s scandal was soon exposed, leading to their arrest and imprisonment by the Stellar Alliance. The matter faded into obscurity, with few paying attention—let alone connecting it to the distant Blue Star server.
But even if someone had noticed, it wouldn’t have mattered. As long as Ye Bai didn’t openly change into her assassin robes in front of everyone, wielding the same gear and unique skills, who could prove that Bai Ye was the black-robed assassin?
- **Effect – Heaven’s Net:** Releases a powerful binding effect on the target, lasting until durability is depleted.
- **Range:** 10m
Boss drops were always practical, and this was no exception. The last boss drop, **[Furious Horn]**, had been exhausted in the underground city of the Divine Realm. Anticipating the monster attacks that would come with upgrading her territory to Town-tier, Ye Bai guessed this item would prove invaluable.
The other two materials—Exquisite and Superior Spider Silk—were Rare and Uncommon-grade, respectively. Like the Giant Bear Fur she’d obtained earlier, they could be crafted into equipment or magical items.
After the Spider King’s death, Ye Bai waited thirty seconds to exit combat.
The spiders in the tunnel, now without a target, reverted to their neutral state, gradually dispersing back to their usual territories.
Once they cleared out, Ye Bai didn’t waste stamina digging through the rubble. Instead, she spotted a shadow through a gap in the rocks and used Shadow Step to teleport past.
Killing the Spider King and walking out of its lair unscathed? Ye Bai was probably the first to pull that off.
She couldn’t help but wonder how a player party would react if, after struggling through the cave, they found the boss already gone—before a new one could spawn…

After seven days of wandering the wilderness beyond Bai Ye Village, Ye Bai had slain three bosses and a six-player party. After ‘liquidating’ her spoils at a nearby NPC village, she netted a total of **30 gold, 42 silver, and 32 copper**.
With time running short, she hurried back to Bai Ye Village, incidentally expanding her territory’s scouting range along the way.
By the time she returned, only one day remained before the monthly arrival of refugees.
During her absence, a merchant caravan had visited, purchasing a batch of Fine-grade Nightwear while supplying the village with resources. After calculations, the trade had only cost Ye Bai **14 silver**—she’d left **1 gold** with the Merchant Guild as a reserve for future transactions.
Back in the village, Ye Bai got straight to work, reinforcing the wooden fences around the antelope pens—during the territory upgrade, these untamed, ‘wild-neutral’ creatures would frenzy and rampage again.
Next, after checking the warehouse, she headed to the Tree of Creation and used **[Vitality’s Blessing]**, transferring her stamina to Vider, the village’s **[Blacksmith]**.
As the territory grew, Ye Bai had added a Blacksmith and Tailor’s Shop to produce everyday tools and clothing for the villagers.
The more crucial production facilities, where specialized craftsmen worked, were designated as restricted areas, off-limits to outsiders.
At this moment, within the forbidden smithy zone of White Night Village, under Ye Bai’s energetic supervision, thick smoke billowed from the chimney, and the crisp, rhythmic clanging of hammers echoed tirelessly. After some time, a finely crafted, high-quality weapon emerged from the forge and was transported to the adjacent warehouse.
Meanwhile, ordinary smithies diligently followed the lord’s orders, producing hunting traps.
On the second in-game day, at high noon, Ye Bai finally received the long-awaited system notification—
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
**[98 refugees wish to join your territory. Do you accept?]**
**[Yes]**
Without pausing to examine how many special talents were among the refugees, Ye Bai immediately strode to the Tree of Genesis and touched its trunk.
The population requirement for upgrading to Level 4 was 180. With the previous count of 120, the territory now had 218 inhabitants, fully meeting the condition.
The other two requirements—**"own 6 production buildings staffed by professionals"** and **"maintain 50 basic military units"**—had also been fulfilled by now.
The six professionals included: Senior Engineer Carrie, Master Tailor Dilina, Herbalist Lucy, Tailor Calvin, Blacksmith Vider, and Shawn—who had recently become a professional hunter during Ye Bai’s earlier expedition.
Upon returning from the divine realm, Ye Bai had reassigned 30 villagers to the barracks. Fifteen in-game days later, most had successfully transitioned into military roles, bringing the territory’s total military units to 53.
Reaching Level 4 within the second month of development should have been impossible. Yet, Ye Bai’s foresight and strategic moves—along with completing a personal quest that secured Dilina’s loyalty—had barely met the upgrade threshold.
**[All conditions for upgrading to Level 4 have been met. White Night Village will be renamed White Night Town. Proceed with the upgrade?]**
**[Yes]**
A brilliant flash of light ensued, and this time, the Tree of Genesis reacted far more intensely than during the previous three upgrades. Its branches visibly surged upward, and the ground beneath Ye Bai trembled slightly as the tree’s roots expanded rapidly beneath the soil.
The familiar, soothing fragrance of the tree wafted through the air, lifting spirits.
“The territory is now under lockdown.”
At Ye Bai’s command, the guards nearby immediately blew their whistles, alerting the entire settlement.
Preparations had been made long before. Yesterday, Ye Bai had briefed the soldiers on combat deployment. Well-paid, well-equipped, and fiercely loyal—with an average loyalty score above 90—the troops had been standing by for orders.
Meanwhile, the seasoned villagers, now well-versed in territory upgrades, needed no further instruction. Farmers rushed to harvest the magically accelerated crops, while the rest promptly packed their tools and retreated to their homes.
Players lingering in White Night Village to gather intel or pick up quests barely had time to react before being swiftly expelled by the lord’s guards.
With Ye Bai beside the Tree of Genesis, the entire territory was under her watch—no player could hide within.
Unwilling to see their hard-earned goodwill plummet into the negatives or face immediate retaliation from the guards, the players grudgingly complied, retreating beyond the 1,000-meter radius of the territory’s center.
By nightfall, White Night Village was cleared of all players, its gates sealed shut.
Only Ye Bai, her ten personal guards, and the 53 trained soldiers remained, standing vigilant, battle-ready.
The displaced players quickly realized this was a territory upgrade event. None were foolish enough to leave now—instead, they scattered across the wilderness, securing vantage points to livestream and document the spectacle, hoping to unravel the secrets behind White Night Village’s staggering 10,000+ territory rating.
**"Rustle… rustle…"**
Before long, movement stirred in the distance.
