Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 172

Originally, Ye Bai thought that acquiring a high-level talent would bring the matter to a close. However, ten days later, just as she emerged from clearing a new dungeon with her team, she received a system notification:

[The senior jeweler 'Claire' in your territory has had a sudden inspiration during research and advanced to become a 'Master Jeweler.']

[The resident 'Hayden' in your territory, while observing, has had a sudden inspiration and become a 'Jeweler' professional.]

Shortly after, a server-wide announcement echoed:

[Congratulations to White Night City for nurturing its second Master-level professional!]

Description: A pinnacle of jewelry craftsmanship. The creator, Claire, has transformed her own shadows into the bane of its wearer’s enemies.

Studying the bracelet’s composition, Ye Bai paused, her gaze shifting to Claire.

"Is this made from Demonic Ore?"

Claire blinked, then smiled. "Yes."

After much hesitation, she had ultimately chosen Demonic Ore from White Night City’s treasury. The best way to dispel shadows was to face them head-on. During her cursed nights, she had often wondered how she would handle that accursed ore if given another chance.

Ye Bai nodded, understanding the significance of Claire’s choice.

Claire continued, "Lord Ye Bai, I made this especially for you—as my personal token of gratitude."

"Thank you. I love it." Without hesitation, Ye Bai equipped it immediately, her gratitude genuine.

Her accessory slots were already filled with [Perfect Mask], [Dragonwhisper Pendant], and [Divine Vault Key], leaving only the wrist slot open. Moreover, the bracelet’s effects were nothing short of a mage’s dream. Soul Siphon was an upgraded version of her skill [Mana Drain], turning it into a far more predatory ability—one that could leave mana-starved foes helpless in an instant.

Ye Bai’s reaction delighted Claire, making all her efforts feel worthwhile.

"Ah, right." Ye Bai suddenly remembered something and pulled out the legendary-grade Shatter Crystal she had just obtained. "Take a look at this…"

Claire, who had been stretching lazily, froze, her eyes locked onto the crystal.

The nearby apprentices watched Ye Bai with awe. Their lord was sometimes divine, sometimes devilish—and right now, she was decidedly the latter.

Claire leaned in, instinctively raising her monocle for a closer inspection. But then she hesitated, recalling her parents’ warnings about the dangers of Shatter Crystals.

Noticing her hesitation, Ye Bai retrieved a weakened Life Tree Fruit from her inventory—one she had recently harvested after its cooldown expired—and handed it to Claire. "Study it without worry. There’s more where this came from."

"…Huh?"

Staring at the emerald-hued miracle cure, Claire’s eyes widened so much that her monocle slipped off, perfectly illustrating the phrase 'jaw-dropping.'

…

Claire’s high-end jewelry shop opened shortly after. White Night City’s tourism revenue soared once again, and the full-time academy’s students were nearing graduation. With the key conditions for upgrading to a Tier 9 territory—a Void Capture Device and elite combat units—now met, the city was poised for another leap forward.

In the following days, Ye Bai busied herself with daily affairs while waiting for the upgrade. Once completed, she planned to unlock the divine treasure vault.

However, during this time, the mysterious Stellar Mission on her jade terminal refreshed once more.

[C-Rank Mission]

Objective: Facilitate planetary migration for a terrestrial civilization.

Eligibility: Individuals with C-Rank or higher spiritual aptitude.

Rewards: 3,000 points or a Stellar Tech upon success; 500-point penalty for failure. Success criteria: Migrate ≥50% of the planet’s population.

Special Requirement: Operate undercover; do not reveal your true origins.

Time Limit: 240 hours.

Current Participants: 0/5.

Returning to reality, Ye Bai's expression subtly shifted upon seeing the newly appeared Class C mission in the task zone. Unlike the last time, this Class C mission had been posted for over an hour, yet despite the limited number of available slots, not a single person had accepted it.

The previous mission—closing a wormhole—had been a Class B task, and countless powerhouses from the Chaotic Star Sea had rushed to accept it, quickly filling the quota. Yet this time, despite the decent rewards for a Class C mission, the lack of takers suggested it wouldn't be easy to complete—likely due to the penalty of losing points upon failure.

The mission's objective was to facilitate the migration of a planetary-level civilization... Ye Bai fell into thought.

If the Chaotic Star Sea's standards aligned with those of the Star Alliance, then a planetary-level civilization referred to one incapable of breaking free from its home star system or achieving interstellar travel. In Ye Bai's era, Earth had been such a civilization, lacking the necessary technology until later, when an impending asteroid collision triggered a technological explosion, finally overcoming the barriers to space travel.

Under Star Alliance standards, planetary-level civilizations were not considered fully developed. The policy was non-interference—even if the Alliance had long detected such a civilization, it would not reveal itself, allowing the civilization to develop freely, whether it progressed correctly, strayed, or faced disasters. The Alliance would only observe and record, never intervening.

Only when a civilization either perished or entered the interstellar age would it discover, like a primitive stepping into society, just how "lively" the universe truly was.

Before that point, no matter the path a civilization took, the Star Alliance and its member civilizations would not interfere with its development—just as Earth had nearly faced extinction without any alien saviors. This was the most widely accepted moral principle across the universe.

Of course, being a moral principle, it was merely the official stance. In reality, there were always unethical individuals or factions.

From this perspective, the Chaotic Star Sea truly lived up to its reputation as a lawless faction. The mission's objective blatantly violated universal ethics, yet from an empathetic standpoint, it carried a certain air of salvation.

Could the Church of Myriad Stars actually be... good? Ye Bai's instincts doubted it.

However, she had no personal bias toward either ideology—choosing either made no difference to her, as she no longer belonged to any civilization.

Moreover, Ye Bai was deeply curious about the Chaotic Star Sea and the Church of Myriad Stars. With the points she'd earned from her last mission and the safety net of historical recursion, the cost of failure was something she could easily bear...

As she pondered, Ye Bai noticed the mission's acceptance count finally change from 0 to 1, entering the final ten-minute countdown. Without further hesitation, she selected "Accept."

[Evaluating...]

[User star rating meets acceptance criteria.]

[Mission location: Universal Coordinates 89.79.755]

[Interstellar travel technology data transmitted. Please activate manually.]

Along with the confirmation of her successful acceptance, Ye Bai received, just like last time, the necessary travel technology for the mission. Clearly, the preparations were thorough—the real challenge lay in facilitating the planet's mass migration without exposing her identity.

After carefully reviewing the technical data, Ye Bai was surprised. The technology wasn't some advanced interstellar travel method from the current era but rather a rudimentary system she could fully comprehend with her existing knowledge—perfect for a planetary-level civilization just taking its first steps into the cosmos.

It seemed the mission had deliberately tailored the technology to match the planet's level of advancement.

The ten minutes passed swiftly. Ye Bai watched as the acceptance count only changed from 2 to 3 in the mission's final second.

This mission really isn't popular... Shaking her head, Ye Bai left the Aether Lab and activated the miniature wormhole provided by the mission. With a single step, she crossed over to the mission's destination.

Above the desolate night hemisphere of Taida Star, over the boundless ocean, a miniature wormhole materialized out of thin air. A slender, indistinct figure emerged, hovering steadily in midair.
