Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 144

In the cosmos-level civilizations' key development territories of Ruilan Town and Luofei Town, both have now grown to considerable scale, reaching the same fifth-tier status as Baiye Town.

At this stage, the lords Zeta and Xi Mo have also recognized that upgrading to a sixth-tier territory requires meeting population and general education rate benchmarks. Following Baiye Town's example, they have constructed public schools and refugee camps to expand their populations.

However, compared to Ye Bai—who knew all the territory upgrade conditions and began developing education as early as becoming a fourth-tier territory—their efforts are still lagging. They have only just completed the general education for their second batch of residents in a hurried manner.

Yet, since these two territories rely not only on NPCs but also a large number of players as additional labor, their progress is still relatively fast. Once a third batch of residents graduates, they should meet the upgrade conditions for a fifth-tier territory.

Thus, when the lords and their respective civilizations noticed Baiye Town's sudden 6,000-point increase in the leaderboard rankings, their first thought was whether Ye Bai had upgraded to a sixth-tier territory.

But the truth left them stunned. A territory upgrade is impossible to conceal, and while interstellar scholars had speculated Baiye Town once jumped two tiers at once, this score increase clearly didn’t come from a territory upgrade.

—Could it be related to the library?

Among the new technologies unlocked at the fifth-tier, aside from refugee camps, the only other addition was the library. Almost all fifth-tier territories prioritized the refugee camp's population expansion function.

For Ye Bai and the interstellar civilizations alike, population constraints had always been a major limitation. With the refugee camp structure, the top-ranked fifth-tier territories on the leaderboard finally entered a phase of rapid development.

Even though these territories accumulated system-rewarded productivity by having players open numerous nearby trade routes, Baiye Town—which relied entirely on steady, NPC-driven productivity—still maintained an edge. Currently, only Ruilan Town and Luofei Town could barely keep up with Baiye Town's natural productivity growth rate.

After reviewing the attributes, Ye Bai smiled in deep satisfaction.

This is the true meaning of "knowledge is power." Unlike blueprints with uncertain types and effects, the [Inventions] obtained by NPCs in the territory after studying extraordinary knowledge are perfectly tailored to the territory's circumstances.

Since these NPCs are themselves part of the territory's production workforce, their inventions naturally align with the needs of their own domain.

The difference in the levels of the three inventions stems from the varying skill levels of their creators. Dilina, a master tailor, could craft a rare-tier purple-grade piece of equipment even with first-tier extraordinary knowledge.

However, this grade represents the production ceiling. For White Night Town, the other two blue-tier (uncommon-grade) inventions are just as valuable.

The [Marching Cloak] and [Hawk-Eye Potion] can both be equipped on the territory's crossbowmen, significantly boosting their combat effectiveness. Meanwhile, Carrie's invention, the [Miniature Energy Extractor], is the most suitable small-scale device for the Origin Energy Crystal Mine, greatly enhancing mining productivity and generating even greater economic benefits than the previous two inventions.

Originally, Ye Bai expected the "holiday" period to last a while longer. But thanks to the efficiency of her NPCs, she suddenly met the upgrade conditions for the Intermediate Library.

Unlike other territory buildings, which can be upgraded immediately upon unlocking the relevant technology, upgrading from a Primary Library to an Intermediate Library requires fulfilling independent conditions first. Otherwise, the corresponding technology remains locked.

The upgrade conditions for the Intermediate Library are: possessing at least one first-tier school of knowledge in the library and producing at least one invention.

This information is only accessible upon deeper engagement with the three major schools. Moreover, the Intermediate Library is a prerequisite for upgrading the territory to Level 7.

That's right—Ye Bai is preparing for another "double-level leap," this time from town-level to city-level.

Due to the plague and overpopulation, White Night Town couldn’t meet the general education rate required for Level 6 this game month. Since time would be spent fulfilling these conditions anyway, she might as well prepare for Level 7 simultaneously.

From Level 5 up to Level 7, the gameplay revolves around accumulating strength—a phase where lord players must focus on steady development, universal education, and stockpiling wealth, resources, and, most crucially, school influence. Typically, this takes several game months to complete before unlocking extraordinary knowledge. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ye Bai’s ability to "overtake on the curve" stems from her Historian reaching Level 4, her abundance of legendary-tier materials (wealth), various titles, and her status as a "Legendary Figure." Without these gains from the Divine Realm, she, too, would have had to grind for school reputation the conventional way.

But now, after investing a massive amount of legendary materials, not only first-tier knowledge but also second- and third-tier knowledge are no longer obstacles for her.

So, while the widening score gap is noteworthy, the real difference lies in the 10,000-point bonus from the Well of Origin. In terms of hard power, White Night Town is currently on par with other territories—if not ahead, thanks to the "extra productivity" provided by players.

By the time other interstellar players reach Level 6 and realize the existence of "soft power," they’ll truly grasp the gap between themselves and Ye Bai.

And by then, White Night Town will likely have become White Night City.
