Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

The addition of eight new residents instantly alleviated Ye Bai's urgent need for labor.

Ye Bai assigned a total of four people to the source energy crystal mine, maintaining an extraction efficiency of about 15 pieces per day. The fields were undergoing the first batch of seeding, and one villager to tend to them was sufficient. The number of people gathering food increased from one to five, as the population of the territory had nearly doubled, resulting in a greater demand for food.

The remaining labor force, after setting aside two for constructing a blacksmith shop, was all deployed to gather wood, stones, and ores.

Judging from the number of refugees in the second wave, Ye Bai was confident that the plan to upgrade the village on the tenth day would be successful. Therefore, the focus of the next five days in the territory would be to clear the resource-rich land and complete the construction of the blacksmith shop and residential housing.

After all, Ye Bai thought, as the leader, it was fine to work overtime with the villagers, but she couldn't very well have them sleep on the streets with her...

Now that the overtime god tool 'Glowstone' and 'Ground Meat' gathered by Ye Bai in the early stages of the dungeon had all been consumed, and the expenditure of embedding source energy crystals into tools had significantly drained her stamina, she had leveled up three more times. However, her remaining experience reserve was only enough to level up once, making it impossible to provide energy protection for the villagers as she had done before. Fortunately, all the gathering tools had been greatly enhanced under the effect of the source energy crystals, ensuring that the territory's construction could continue at a high pace.

It's worth noting that with the addition of eight new residents, the territory's health dropped from 100 to 80, and hygiene from 95 to 90.

If Ye Bai hadn't built the composting facility beforehand, these values would have dropped even more. The influx of new population brings labor but also external diseases, and an increase in population is accompanied by a decrease in hygiene conditions.

This is just the early stage, where there's an implicit protection mechanism. After surviving the first month, each subsequent wave of refugees might, with 'good luck,' include disease carriers. In such cases, if there are no medical facilities in the territory to control the situation, it could quickly spread into a large-scale epidemic.

Therefore, after upgrading the territory to a level 1 village, a medical building is the first essential structure to construct.

At this moment, Ye Bai received a system notification—

【Gain 1 Productivity Point】

Under normal circumstances, the first productivity point is obtained around the sixth to seventh day of establishing a village. However, due to the presence of the professional Carrie in Ye Bai's territory and the early extraction of the first mine, the energy slot filled up one day earlier than usual.

In the initial stages of territory development, with similar population sizes, all lord players gain productivity points at roughly the same rate.

However, as the second and third waves of population arrive, differences in resource utilization and planning emerge, resulting in varying productivity gain speeds. Gradually, the gap widens, and even territories built at the same time can end up with significant technological disparities.

Now that Night Village's population has doubled and has access to source energy crystals, usually used only in the late game, the future productivity growth rate will certainly be much faster than it is now.

Ye Bai didn't waste any time and opened the tech tree page.

She then allocated this productivity point to one of the innermost initial technologies, 【Adventure】.

Like talents, the most basic technologies are essential points, as they are prerequisites for subsequent technologies. The only difference is whether to prioritize them now or later. It's only when the tech tree continues to climb, reaching advanced technologies that require significant productivity points to unlock, that decisions become necessary.

【Adventure】 Villagers can explore environments beyond the territory; villagers gain basic hunting skills; receive 5 bows.

Currently, Ye Bai can only access a map of the surrounding area within a six-hundred-meter radius through the Tree of Creation. Beyond that, the area is covered in 'war fog,' making it impossible to obtain detailed information.

At this point, dispatching exploring villagers becomes necessary to understand the surrounding environment, discover nearby resources and dangers. Without unlocking this technology, villagers who venture beyond the territory's boundaries cannot report map information back to the lord.

Although Ye Bai had a rough understanding of the local environment during the initial territory setup, the world is dynamic. Resources like deer, wild cattle, pheasants, and rabbits move due to human activities.

If the territory is established in an area with high wildlife activity, these animals will soon migrate away from the village, rather than staying to be hunted.

Of course, don't assume these animals are just moving food sources. Once the crops in the fields mature and there's no fence built for protection, they'll sneak in at night to snack on the crops...

So, unlocking this technology not only allows villagers to explore but also equips them with basic hunting skills and provides 5 initial weapons, bows, which, although not many, are still better than nothing.

However, Ye Bai did not assign villagers to hunt. Under basic hunting skills, hunting efficiency is low, far less productive than sending the same number of people to gather berries and mushrooms.

Only after unlocking the next level of the Adventure tech, 【Hunting】, and building a 【Hunter's Lodge】, arranging specialized villagers to work there, can a stable food source be considered established.

Thus, Ye Bai only allocated one villager with a bow to explore the surrounding environment.

"When you're exploring, follow this path..."@@novelbin@@

Before the villager named Roman set out, Ye Bai specifically gave him some guidance, teaching him a 'spiral exploration method'—starting from the territory's center and gradually spiraling outward.

Beyond the territory, there are not only resources but also dangers. Wild animals like wolves, wild boars, and bears, which are hazardous for villagers in the early stages, appear. Once they accidentally enter their territories, the villager won't make it back.

The 'spiral exploration method' may be slower, but it maximizes the understanding of the surrounding environment while minimizing risks.

Ye Bai wouldn't want to lose even a single resident.

Just as Roman left, Ye Bai suddenly received two consecutive system notifications:

【Your villagers are dissatisfied with their current work】X2

Hmm?

Ye Bai was startled, her first thought being that Roman was resisting this potentially dangerous task. However, when she opened the lord's page, she saw that Roman's loyalty and satisfaction were perfectly normal, with no issues at all.

Next, Ye Bai found two names with exclamation marks in the villager information page—

Shawn, Lucy.

Indicating that the two notification messages originated from these two.

Ye Bai was surprised. What kind of troublemakers are these? How did they appear so early on!

Normally, at this stage of a level 0 territory, villagers are well aware of their territory's conditions, and dissatisfaction only begins to surface after reaching level 1. By then, their demands for the territory increase and become more diverse, with desires for entertainment, luxuries, and personal hobbies gradually emerging. In the later stages, satisfying these 'troublemakers' and improving the territory's living conditions become one of the lord players' main 'joys.'

But in any case, it shouldn't be happening now.

Currently, the villagers are all hardworking and should not be like those stereotypical 'troublemakers' in some games, complaining and leaving bad reviews online from the moment they arrive!

Ye Bai couldn't sit still and immediately found one of the troublemakers, Lucy, who was closest to her.

Lucy was a blonde young woman in her early twenties, currently cutting wood.

Upon seeing Ye Bai, she respectfully bowed, with her initial loyalty of 60 evident.

"My lord."

Ye Bai inquired, puzzled: "Lucy, are you dissatisfied with your current work?"

Lucy, facing the lord, seemed a bitreserved but still honestly nodded: "I just feel that I'm not suitable for this..."

"Hmm, what is it that you feel unsuited for?" Ye Bai, seeing Lucy's demeanor, wasn't making a complaint, and her confusion deepened: "What do you think you're suited for?"

Lucy, however, seemed lost and couldn't articulate a clear answer: "I don't know... what do you think, my lord?"

What's going on here? Even with the three early-game god cards that had managed to secure the high-level professional, Carrie, how could they not win you over?

"I think... I think?!"

Ye Bai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realizing something.

She had obtained the achievement title of【First Lord】, which not only increased the attraction of the territory's population by 15%, but also increased the probability of rare talents appearing by 20%!

Ye Bai opened her talent page and used the talent points she had gained after reaching level 15, activating the third basic talent【Appraisal】.

【Appraisal】

Passive Effect: Increases field of vision by 5%

Unique Active (Appraisal): Gains information about the target, no cooldown time, no cost; (The information obtained is related to the current character's level)

Her vision became unusually clear, as if a myopic person had put on glasses, allowing her to see the surrounding environment more clearly and farther away. She could even capture the frequency of nearby insects' wings flapping, indicating an improvement in her dynamic vision.

Ye Bai focused her gaze on Lucy and used the 'Appraisal' skill.
