Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 141
In the Illusory Sea Civilization, within the secluded and unmarked Illusory Sea Star—a place absent from public maps, as if it didn’t exist—stood a building unknown to ordinary citizens.
Mo Ke, the minister of the special department who had previously interrogated Aurora, sat in his office, his eyes scanning a consumption report related to Ye Bai, sent by the Blue Star Council:
【Planetary Advanced Purification Module - Activated; New Blue Star Calendar Year 3, Day 113, Local Time 15:19:39; Transaction Amount: 100 Star Coins/24 hours; Transaction Recipient: Blue Star Council (Planetary Facilities Department)】
【Blue Star South Pole Coordinates (87.34) - 2 Square Meters Land Ownership; Transaction Time: New Blue Star Calendar Year 3, Day 113, Local Time 15:22:23; Transaction Amount: 10,000 Star Coins; Transaction Recipient: Blue Star Council (Qilong Empire Division)】
【Stellar Network Account Registration; Transaction Time: New Blue Star Calendar Year 3, Day 113, Local Time 15:22:33; Transaction Amount: 10,000 Star Coins; Transaction Recipient: Stellar Alliance Public Terminal】
【Public Seat No. E233867 - Cleaning Service…】
【Public Seat No. E233867 - Nutrient Solution Purchase…】
…
【Planetary Advanced Purification Module - Deactivated; New Blue Star Calendar Year 3, Day 114, Local Time 03:20:54; Transaction Amount: 100 Star Coins/24 hours; Transaction Recipient: Blue Star Council (Planetary Facilities Department)】
These consumption reports, tied to citizen privacy, were inaccessible to non-planetary authorities. The diplomatic department of the Illusory Sea Civilization had to exchange resources with the Blue Star Council to obtain them.
Naturally, this would draw the Blue Star Council’s attention and suspicion toward Ye Bai, the ancient human. However, the incident on Illusory Sea Star involved an A-level psychic, and even citizens of the Illusory Sea Civilization were kept in the dark. The Blue Star Council’s suspicions would lead nowhere.
Mo Ke’s focus was drawn to the two transactions separated by a mere ten seconds.
Normally, Mo Ke could only access Ye Bai’s planetary consumption records from the Blue Star Council. Tracing transfers was difficult, especially those involving other civilizations—records the Blue Star Council couldn’t retrieve.
But by sheer coincidence, the largest sum Ye Bai received came from the Blue Star Council’s public account, so all her financial flows appeared in the report.
An ancient human burdened with high purification costs selling Blue Star land for Star Coins wasn’t unusual. What was strange was that, within ten seconds, she used the funds to register a Stellar Network account.
This was an all-or-nothing move. The only conclusion from this timing was clear—Ye Bai sold the South Pole land solely to register on the Stellar Network.
This contradicted the information Mo Ke had obtained from Aurora. Technical analysis ruled out Aurora lying, meaning Ye Bai had deliberately hidden her true exposure to the Infinite Realms and her actual capabilities.
The real Ye Bai, while still on Blue Star, had already registered on the Stellar Network, accessing the Infinite Realms ahead of time. The fluid sandbags found in her rented room suggested her abilities weren’t just raised from F-rank to D-rank—but possibly to C-rank or higher.
Yet, at this thought, Mo Ke’s reasoning faltered. From F-rank to C-rank… How was that possible?
Currently, most players in the Infinite Realms were preparing for their second class advancement. According to expert analyses, the psychic leap corresponding to this stage was the transition from D-rank to C-rank.
In reality, even C-rank psychics, sensing their growth, couldn’t break through during the level 20-40 phase of their first advancement. How could Ye Bai, an F-rank, achieve this?
Without genetic intervention, such a leap would mean Ye Bai’s in-game level had surpassed 40. But based on her registration time, she entered the Infinite Realms around the same time as other interstellar players!
Mo Ke’s heartbeat quickened as the pieces fell into place. This anomaly was why Ye Bai hid her true timeline from Aurora.
Something must have happened during her first contact with the Infinite Realms—something she couldn’t reveal.
Mo Ke’s thoughts shifted, tracing back to Ye Bai’s initial exposure to the Infinite Realms.
Then, the composed and reserved minister, with over a century of experience handling complex interstellar incidents, lost control and gasped aloud:
"How is this possible?!"
Because, in a sudden realization, Mo Ke recognized that Ye Bai’s first contact with the Infinite Realms coincided with an extraordinarily significant moment.
Just hours after this very day, "Bai Ye" emerged in a blaze of glory—the event where a single individual confronted the entire Stellar Alliance unfolded, followed by the public release of the "Key" to becoming an official player.
What connection did the ancient human Ye Bai have with the enigmatic Bai Ye in the game?
A spark of insight ignited in Mo Ke’s mind. Against his will, his thoughts spiraled toward an inconceivable conclusion—Ye Bai was Bai Ye.
But… how?!
An F-rank ancient human accomplishing what even the scholars of advanced cosmic civilizations couldn’t in three years?
Cold sweat trickled down Mo Ke’s back. Subconsciously, he resisted the idea.
No, there were other possibilities. Perhaps Ye Bai had met Bai Ye in reality, becoming their agent. Maybe the clues he’d uncovered were deliberately planted by Bai Ye. And the A-rank psychic spotted at Giant Sea Star—could that have been Bai Ye seeking Ye Bai for unknown reasons?
This new angle eased Mo Ke slightly, but even as he avoided the terrifying hypothesis, the potential link between Ye Bai and Bai Ye pricked at him like a thorn.
After a long silence, Mo Ke finally activated a top-priority communication channel.
A pause. Then, a warm, magnetic voice answered:
"Mo Ke, what’s the matter?"
Hearing it, Mo Ke’s tension unwound instantly, as if he’d found his anchor.
"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report to you..."
...
Bai Ye Town welcomed its lord. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Even though they were denied entry into the town, the players observing from outside the territory could still see how this top-ranked player town, with Bai Ye's return, shook off the gloom of the plague and showed clear signs of vigorous revival.
The 'drones' flying over Bai Ye Town had been identified as alchemical constructs sold in the Alchemy Main City, capable of controlling the plague. Moreover, the interstellar players had also deduced that Bai Ye had brought back a cure—
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the refugee camp, filled with patients just the day before, had managed to accommodate its population by the next day, with everyone now healthy and joining the town's labor force.
The effectiveness of the cure left the interstellar civilizations in awe. The gap in this kind of fantastical technology, if applied to reality, would represent a leap of at least two eras—comparable to the difference between a planetary civilization and a spacefaring one.
However, what shocked them even more was the price of the cure. A single dose of the plague cure in retail shops cost nearly one gold coin. Even with bulk purchase discounts, the wealth Bai Ye had revealed was staggering.
Experts had assessed Bai Ye Town's territorial economy and concluded that the cost of purchasing this batch of disinfection equipment and the cure far exceeded the town's current total output value.
As a result, many speculated that Bai Ye had a player faction outside the Blue Star server generating wealth for her. Yet, even so, the efficiency was terrifying. Only by forcibly extracting wealth from their own civilizations could a cosmic-level civilization amass such riches, but even the hive-mind Rui Lan Empire wouldn’t resort to such short-sighted exploitation.
After this incident, Bai Ye's assets, much like her strength, became yet another 'unsolved mystery' across the realms.
Meanwhile, on the lord rankings, her score began to climb steadily after a period of stagnation.
The interstellar civilizations weren’t surprised—the three hundred refugees in the camp had been cured by the miracle drug and were now contributing to the territory’s productivity, naturally leading to a recovery in the score.
But just as other civilizations thought this score increase could be reasonably estimated—
"Flutter, flutter..."
A translucent spirit bird, hovering between reality and illusion, flapped its wings and flew into Bai Ye Town’s post station.
The post station had been built shortly after the town’s upgrade, but since the territory hadn’t yet begun widespread education on such matters, its users were mostly players. Given the high postage fees, not many players frequented it.
The spirit bird circled the post station a few times before scattering a shower of light and vanishing.
In its place, a wooden crate filled with books materialized.
The two postmen managing the station immediately brightened at the sight of the crate. This was something the lord had specifically instructed them to watch for, and they wasted no time loading it onto a handcart, with one postman delivering it to the nearby library.
This was how first-tier knowledge from Mei Luo City had been 'mailed' over before.
With the newly arrived first-tier knowledge of the Chaos School now stored in the library, Bai Ye Town’s ranking score began leaping up from the thousands:
1st Place: Bai Ye, Territory Score: 34,561
2nd Place: Zeta, Territory Score: 30,578
3rd Place: Xi Mo, Territory Score: 30,123
4th Place: ...
How had the score suddenly jumped by 3,000 points?
Players monitoring the rankings were stunned. After all, the spies observing Bai Ye Town from outside hadn’t reported any new constructions!
Yet before the confusion could settle, barely ten minutes later, Bai Ye Town’s territory score 'bounced' again—
From 34,561 to 37,561… another 3,000-point increase!
What was going on?!
While the interstellar players were baffled, Ye Bai looked at the 'returning' score and smiled.
This was only the beginning… Soon, she would show the interstellar players what it truly meant that 'knowledge is power'!
