Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

Chapter 51



With a full 28 points of productivity, Ye Bai began to rapidly invest in the technology tree.

Starting with technologies that cost 3 points of productivity—

**Brewing**: Unlocks the **Tavern** building; Unlocks the **Brewery** building.

**Barracks**: Unlocks the construction of barracks, provides standardized equipment, allows villagers to be converted into combat units, and can consume productivity to increase speed.

**Basic Exploration**: Increases the efficiency of all mines by 10%, adds 10 additional worker slots to mines, and allows villagers to explore the map for **coal** and **saltpeter** resources.

**Basic Refining**: Unlocks the **Saltworks** building; Unlocks the **Sugar Refinery** building.

After spending 12 points of productivity, four new buildings were unlocked.

Ye Bai opened the building view and planned the Brewery near the agricultural area. By placing raw material production and processing buildings close together, the logistics and transportation time could be minimized. Just like the mill, the Brewery was built in the agricultural area to quickly obtain the grains needed for production and turn them into various types of alcohol.

In its early stages, the Brewery could only produce basic coarse ale. However, the villagers, who were just starting to have entertainment needs, weren’t picky. As long as the production capacity was sufficient, it could ensure that the entertainment value of the territory’s residents remained above 60.

The Barracks, a more advanced building for training soldiers, replaced the previous basic training ground. Ye Bai demolished the old training ground and rebuilt the Barracks in its place.

At the same time, after upgrading twice, the direct control range of the Tree of Creation expanded from 700 meters to 1000 meters. After unlocking **Basic Exploration**, Ye Bai found coal and saltpeter resources at the edge of the territory’s buildings in the aerial view.

Since these two resources were essential for the mid-game, they didn’t have specific icons. Similar to iron and copper ores, which are commonly found in mountainous terrain, these two resources would randomly spawn near the territory after unlocking **Basic Exploration**.

In a way, these resources weren’t naturally occurring but were generated alongside the **Basic Exploration** technology.

Coal was a higher-grade fuel compared to charcoal, and fuel was a necessary resource for the blacksmith and smelting factory. Saltpeter, on the other hand, was a chemical raw material that could be used to make ice, gunpowder for explosions, and to tan leather, turning ordinary leather into a higher-grade material called **Fine Leather**.

Ye Bai immediately set up mines at the coal resource that appeared in the southeast and the saltpeter resource in the west.

Of course, the 10% increase in mining efficiency and additional worker slots provided by **Basic Exploration** were also major reasons why Ye Bai chose to unlock this technology. She quickly assigned the newly arrived unemployed villagers to the Origin Crystal mines—this was the backbone industry of Baiye Village.

Finally, the **Saltworks** and **Sugar Refinery** unlocked by **Basic Refining** were also placed in the agricultural area. These two buildings were prepared in advance.

The Saltworks produced well salt. In the world of Wanjie, most terrains could support the construction of salt wells, which could be considered a magical world perk. However, digging a salt well was a long-term project, and salt was an indispensable basic resource once the territory upgraded to a town. If Ye Bai didn’t want to import it from elsewhere, she needed to prepare early.

The Sugar Refinery could use harvested sugar beets, sugarcane, and maple sap to produce sugar, which could significantly boost the villagers’ satisfaction. This was a small luxury item, and when unexpected events caused a drop in satisfaction, sugar could be used to recover it, similar to giving gifts.

Next, Ye Bai spent 2 points of productivity on four more technologies:

**Bathhouse**: Unlocks the **Bathhouse** building; Unlocks the **Soap Workshop** building, where villagers learn to make soap and medicinal soap.

**Farming** - **Selective Breeding**: Villagers can cultivate saplings; Villagers can cultivate herbs.

**Beekeeping**: Unlocks the **Artificial Beehive**; Unlocks the **Beekeeper** profession.

**Candles**: Unlocks the **Candle Workshop**, where candles are made from animal fat and beeswax.

The Bathhouse, another building to improve villagers’ hygiene, was built in the center of the residential area. This Roman-style public bathhouse provided a higher hygiene boost than the compost factory, benefiting all residents within its range.

Ye Bai was a pioneer in improving the territory’s hygiene. As soon as the level requirement was met, she would immediately invest in related technologies. While hygiene might seem unimportant at first glance, it was directly linked to health, environmental value, and satisfaction, making it one of the three major foundational stats alongside food and water.

The **Soap Workshop**, an auxiliary building to the Bathhouse, produced soap from animal fat and beeswax. By adding herbs, villagers could also make medicinal soap, which provided even better effects.

At this stage, the territory’s population wasn’t large enough to require medicinal soap, but it could be used as a trade item since it improved both hygiene and health.

The **Selective Breeding** technology was mainly unlocked to allow the artificial cultivation of herbs. Currently, the territory’s herbs were gathered by foragers in the surrounding areas. However, as the population grew and the number of patients increased, the herb reserves would soon be insufficient.

Additionally, the batch of magical herb saplings Ye Bai had purchased from Meiluo City could now be planted in the territory. With this technology, as long as she had the saplings, she could grow the slow-maturing magical herbs in the territory, though it would still be slower than if done by a professional botanist.

Beekeeping was also a slow production cycle industry. By placing artificial beehives near wild shrubs and flowers, dedicated beekeepers could harvest honey and beeswax.

Honey, like sugar, was a small luxury item and also a natural preservative. In the later stages, it could be used to make various jams and canned goods. Beeswax, on the other hand, had a wide range of uses, from making soap to candles.

Finally, Ye Bai specifically unlocked the **Candle Workshop**, not to make the villagers work overtime—though it could be used for that in special circumstances—but mainly to improve the efficiency of the mines.

Currently, the mines used primitive torches for lighting, which were inferior to candles in both brightness and durability. By replacing torches with candles, the production capacity of all mines could be significantly increased.

After this spending spree, only 8 points of productivity remained.

As for the **Merchant Guild**, similar to the trading post, since Ye Bai had joined the guild in the name of the territory, she could build it without needing the technology. She placed it on the main road between the military and industrial zones, ensuring both security and efficient transportation of goods.

After reviewing her plans and confirming that nothing had been overlooked, Ye Bai let out a sigh, feeling a sense of emptiness.

Being too far ahead in progress was also a kind of helplessness. At this point, both the construction materials and technologies in the territory were in place, and all that was left was to wait for time to pass as everything was built. As the lord, Ye Bai found herself with little of importance to do.

If only she could pay to instantly upgrade… Ahem!

This fleeting thought passed through her mind as Ye Bai wandered around the territory.

She ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍admired the bountiful harvest in the fields, accelerated by the blooming of the Tree of Creation, with villagers smiling contentedly as they gathered the crops. She watched as the planned buildings began to take shape, with villagers working hard, carrying materials, and sweating as they laid the foundations. She observed the scene ahead, where a brown-haired beauty stood by the wooden fence, her skirt fluttering in the wind as she watched the antelopes inside.

It was Dilina.

“...” Ye Bai paused in her steps. Oh, she wasn’t feeling empty anymore. She immediately remembered what she needed to do next—her personal quest.

Ye Bai wanted to walk past as if nothing had happened, but Dilina had already noticed her.

“Why have you trapped these antelopes? Are you trying to tame them?”

Dilina, seeing Ye Bai appear, asked the question she had been curious about.

“Of course,” Ye Bai replied, turning to look at the antelopes leisurely walking inside the wooden fence. “They’re powerful land transport animals, and they can also be trained as warhorses to accompany cavalry.”

Dilina shook her head: "I know. What I want to say is, why don’t you build a ranch? Why keep them trapped like this and then assign villagers to feed them every day?"

Ye Bai’s mouth twitched—was it that she didn’t want to build one?

"At this stage, the territory doesn’t have the conditions to domesticate them, so we’ll just let them roam freely for now."

Taming antelopes required an advanced ranch, and the ordinary ranch at this stage couldn’t handle it. Ye Bai didn’t waste resources building one. Instead, she constructed a feed factory nearby, specifically producing feed to ensure the antelopes wouldn’t starve before she could unlock the advanced ranch.

Hmm… even though Ye Bai couldn’t afford an advanced ranch, she had built fences and provided feed for the antelopes. Wasn’t that still considered raising them?

Dilina paused for a moment before finally grasping Ye Bai’s unconventional logic. She nodded hesitantly: "...I suppose so."

Then, as if remembering something, she turned to Ye Bai and said, "By the way, the wristguard made from the materials of the Crocodile King is finished."

Ye Bai’s eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "That’s great, thank you so much—"

"Wait, don’t thank me yet," Dilina interrupted firmly this time. "I’ll only give you this wristguard once you’ve confirmed your departure for the Divine Realm."

Ye Bai: "..."

You’ve changed, Dilina! You’ve really changed!

Seeing Ye Bai’s shocked expression, Dilina covered her mouth and chuckled smugly. "Come find me at the tailor’s shop when you’re ready to leave. This time, I went above and beyond with the wristguard~"

With that, she turned and left, leaving Ye Bai alone to let her imagination run wild: Above and beyond? Could it be a golden-tier piece of equipment?!

Dilina’s personal quest, leveling up her personal rank… all these things pointed to one place—the Divine Realm.

Mentioning the Divine Realm made Ye Bai’s head ache. Even as the creator, she couldn’t fully grasp this world, which was still in the conceptual stage and capable of self-evolution.

Besides, wasn’t it a bit too audacious for a level 20, first-tier class to venture into a high-level map meant for level 60, third-tier classes?

However, danger and reward often went hand in hand. With the construction blueprint for the Well of Origin in her territory, Dilina’s quest accepted, and the Historian subclass that could play a special role in the Divine Realm, if she could survive a trip there, it would be incredibly rewarding.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Bai’s gaze hardened, and she made her decision.

When heaven offers a gift, refusing it brings misfortune.

Moreover, she had always harbored a vague, indescribable feeling. The appearance of the Myriad Realms on the Star Network, the secrets behind the Myriad Realms… if there was a place to find answers, it was most likely in the Divine Realm.

It was the highest-level map in the Myriad Realms’ world design. The countless worlds of today were all its “projections.” The Divine Blooded originated there, and in the end, they would return there.
