Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

Ye Bai observed the B-level powerhouse's powerful mental energy trembling intensely, which was much more pronounced than that of the previous C-level mental energy user.

It seemed that the leap from C-level to B-level marked a qualitative change for the psyche.

This time, Ye Bai finally 'heard' a response from the other party. If one were to compare the fluctuations of mental energy to the volume of sound, this response was undoubtedly weak and as faint as a mosquito's whisper.

"In the name of the Star God, please... save me..."

Hearing Silenna's response, Ye Bai was momentarily stunned. Star God? It seemed that the other party had misunderstood something.

However, in the interstellar era, it was indeed rare to encounter a civilization that still held onto its faith.

Ye Bai's mood was stirred. Finally, she had encountered someone she could communicate with. Initially, she instinctively prepared to deny and explain, but she suddenly paused, thinking about her own situation.

Even if she were slow to catch on, Ye Bai couldn't have missed the fact that her mental entity was unusually special, completely different from other mental energy users. This had led a B-level mental energy user to mistake her for a deity—though the latter was restrained, it was enough to indicate the issue.@@novelbin@@

As an ancient human, Ye Bai already risked being abducted by interstellar smugglers. Let alone the fact that she had just broken through to D-level mental energy and already possessed such abilities. If this were to be revealed, even A-level mental energy users would likely be eager to capture her for dissection and research.

Possessing value that far exceeded one's strength wasn't a blessing; it was a danger.

Recalling Silenna's misunderstanding, Ye Bai's mind raced, and she decided to go along with the flow, playing the role of this 'Star God', concealing herself behind the scenes to rescue this B-level powerhouse and cause chaos within the Makul Group.

After all, Ye Bai's original plan was to disrupt the Makul Group's devices that restrained the biological entities, thereby sparking a large-scale chaos that would expose their secret smuggling trade to the public.

The front end of Makul Star was still operating under the guise of an 'Interstellar Zoo', conducting normal business activities. Once exposed, even if their covert operations were no secret to many factions, the Stellar Alliance, having established interstellar order, wouldn't turn a blind eye to such matters.

Ye Bai already had an A-level recluse identity as 'Bai Ye'. As the saying goes, one gets used to debt, so changing her train of thought, Ye Bai sent a simple message back to Silenna.

"Wait."

When it came to keeping things vague and ambiguous, she had already become quite proficient!

Subsequently, Ye Bai shifted her focus to the mental suppressor around Silenna's neck.

Clearly, this device was the key to keeping these powerful individuals restrained, and its core lay in those two needles.

Ye Bai used her ability to 'appraise' them more meticulously, repeatedly, before finally receiving an insight.

'Erebomagnetic'

This ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‍material, called Erebomagnetic, seemed capable of ignoring mental energy. Ye Bai's previous attempt to probe it with her mental energy had failed to make contact.

But that was fine. She had experience in disabling the nutrient chamber on the spaceship. Since it was a formed device, it couldn't escape from her 'Insightful' ability to observe weaknesses.

As long as the main body of the device was destroyed, the Erebomagnetic needles naturally wouldn't be able to emit circular patterns, and thus would no longer be able to restrain the mental entity.

In the next moment, the circular device Ye Bai was observing changed, revealing several familiar black fissures.

It's working!

Confirming this point, Ye Bai withdrew her mental energy.

If her mental energy were represented by a blue bar, then after the previous exploration, more than 80% had been consumed. Her mental entity felt fatigued and required time to recover before proceeding.

After resting for a while, Ye Bai felt her mental energy slowly replenish, ready to continue her actions when suddenly she felt a mechanical sound below, as if an activation had been triggered. The platform where the nutrient chambers were located began to rise.

Then, the ceiling above automatically opened a circular aperture, allowing light to stream in.

"Click, click, click..."

Under the rhythmic mechanical sounds, all the nutrient chambers were pushed by mechanisms from behind, standing upright from their horizontal positions. The metallic parts of the nutrient chambers automatically separated, revealing crystal-like transparent internal chambers.

Spotlights from all directions illuminated the platform's nutrient chambers, revealing every intelligent being suspended in the nutrient fluid.

"Welcome, dear members, to today's auction!"

As the voice finished, a spotlight hit the host dressed in formal attire.

The host wore a white mask with no features and floated around the platform on a magnetic levitation device.

As his words ended, an exaggerated round of applause and cheers rang out around him, although they were clearly mechanical sound effects rather than genuine human voices.

Ye Bai's physical body remained in a state of paralysis due to anesthesia, but her mental entity was crisp and clear, hovering above her own brow. She sensed that in the darkness beyond the spotlights, there were thousands of varying sizes of mental entities all watching this scene.

They were like a pack of wolves in a desolate wilderness, coldly and curiously observing their prey, radiating an unsettling desire.

Guests? Were these participants actually present in person?

Ye Bai was briefly astonished; then she recalled that this was the highly advanced interstellar era. If the entire transaction were conducted through communication networks without direct contact with the 'goods', such a deal would be far too susceptible to fraud, and given its illegal nature, being deceived couldn't be publicly disclosed.

At this moment, the host glided near Ye Bai's nutrient chamber. She immediately seized the opportunity to observe his mental entity.

The host appeared to be a C-level, but his mental energy aura flickered unsteadily like a faulty bulb, wavering like a flickering candle.

This was clearly not normal; it seemed he had been injured during her game 'kill'.

Well, that wasn't the main concern.

Feeling her mental energy almost fully replenished, Ye Bai didn't waste any time and immediately extended her mental energy like tentacles towards Silenna.

【Lightning Arrow】!

This time, Ye Bai opted for this skill once more, as she was now more proficient with it after having used it before.

She dared not make too much of a move in destroying the mental suppressor—those two Erebomagnetic needles pierced through flesh, looking quite perilous. If she accidentally botched it, causing mental damage, it would truly be regrettable.

...

"Let's take a look at today's first lot..."

"An ancient human who awoke from a cryostasis pod ten thousand years ago. Her species has evolved since migrating from their home planet, making this the most original genetic strand. Collectors will be delighted, as this is truly a one-of-a-kind item!"

"With an F-level mental energy, she poses no threat—a perfectly safe biological entity. Her petite frame is adorable, and her hair remains the classic starlit black. Whether for collection or as a pet, she would be a highly stylish addition!"

"Starting bid at five hundred Stellar Coins!"

Despite the enthusiastic introduction, there was dead silence below, with no one bidding.

"..."

The host glanced at Ye Bai again, seemingly still in her 'unconscious' state, thinking her feeble appearance was the issue. He triggered a command.

"Click, click, click..."

The mechanical sounds of the nutrient chamber resounded again.

Accompanied by a 'glug, glug' sound, the bottom of the nutrient chamber opened, draining out the nutrient fluid and allowing fresh air to flow in.

Ye Bai's body, soft and limp, slumped onto the bottom of the nutrient chamber.

The host approached, seeing the woman with her wet black hair plastered against her cheek, obscuring most of her face.

"Pssshhh—!"

A strong air current swept down, dispersing the black hair, revealing a somewhat pale but delicate face.

After this commotion, Ye Bai finally opened her eyes, revealing a pair of pitch-black pupils as she looked at the host beside her.

The host's voice clearly reached the nutrient chamber and was translated by the personal terminal for Ye Bai.

"Lot one, do you have anything to say?"

“If you don't make an effort to sell yourself, you'll end up in a laboratory as some kind of precious material, you know…”

The wealth of information hidden in those words was enough for Ye Bai to understand his predicament. His personal terminal was also incapable of sending out any signals, as the area was only connected to the network of the Markull Planet

Ye Bai ignored the host and pretended not to understand.

——Don’t bother me, I'm busy screwing bolts!

At this moment, Ye Bai was fully focused on manipulating magic. The tiny, needle-like light arrows acted like a wrench, repeatedly striking the weak points inside the mental suppressor around Silienna's neck.

“Dong dong dong...”

If the host had revealed his face, it would have been filled with embarrassment, but instead, he just impatiently warned Ye Bai.

“Move! This is your only chance!”

Faced with the exasperating host, Ye Bai finally moved, extending his right hand towards the edge of the nutrient chamber.

Curious, the host leaned in to see what Ye Bai was doing—a gesture he didn't understand. Ye Bai curled up his fingers, leaving only the middle one extended.

...?

This unexpected action piqued the interest of one of the guests, who asked in a distorted electronic voice, “What does she mean by that?”

The host himself didn’t understand, but that didn’t stop him from confidently explaining, “Oh… this is an ancient human gesture of friendliness, expressing her wish for you to take her home!”

“What do you say, sir? Only 500 Stellar Coins!”

However, the guest who had asked the question no longer responded.

The host felt the atmosphere growing cold and, deciding not to bother with Ye Bai anymore, moved on to introduce other nutrient chambers. Perhaps due to his previous experience, he emptied out all the anesthetic agents from the other chambers.

After all, none of the other Esper users would be as troublesome as Ye Bai, a level F ancient human. Due to their strong spirits and physiques, they were already awake. The real shackles weren’t the anesthetic agents or the metal chains on their limbs but the mental suppressors around their necks.

The various powerful beings in the nutrient chambers quickly realized their situation upon waking up, reacting with anger, pain, or silence...

“Blue-collar Giants… said to be of the same bloodline as the Golden-striped Giants of the Kyon Federation, now only 4,500 Stellar Coins!”

“Tinmen, a race extremely skilled in hiding and stealth. Capturing this juvenile took a lot of effort from our hunting squad, starting at 3,600 Stellar Coins.”

“Kluans…”

As other Esper races of level C appeared, the atmosphere in the room heated up.

Until the host reached the last nutrient chamber, standing in front of Silienna with her drooping red hair.

“Dah dah dah! The treasure of today's auction! A soldier from the Tieluo Tribe!”

“Look at her battle armor; we only managed to capture her by chance, at the cost of an entire squad.” The host pretended to wipe away imaginary tears.

One of the guests already impatient interrupted his performance: “How much?!”

“Hahaha… sir, don’t rush.” The host laughed, finally feeling that the auction was getting somewhere: “The rarity of the Tieluo bloodline doesn’t need much explanation. Although it might be a bit challenging, with advanced genetic technology, you can certainly produce descendants with their genes. This is a race capable of traversing space with just their bodies.”

“So, the starting price… 10,000 Stellar Coins!”

The entire room erupted in surprise, though new bids kept coming in.

Just as the auction was reaching a fever pitch, with the price rising to 30,000 Stellar Coins,

“Ding!”

A crisp snapping sound, only audible to Silienna, rang out in her mind.

The mental chains that had bound her for so long suddenly shattered, and her powerful, radiant spirit erupted with intense light.

A mysterious, ethereal, and grand will descended once more:

“Go forth, break the chains of evil, and liberate the weak…”

Silienna slowly raised her head. Her handsome and beautiful face, with half-closed eyes, now opened, their gaze as bright as the stars.

Her full lips moved, solemnly pronouncing the name of the Star God.

“I will defend your will with my life.”

The host, still not understanding what was going on, leaned in and asked curiously, “What are you talking about?”

He certainly hoped Silienna would ‘perform’ some sort of struggle or pain to stimulate the buyers’ desires.

But the next moment—

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a powerful explosion, Silienna’s nutrient chamber shattered like a fragile glass bottle, bursting from the inside.

At the same time, an impossibly fast hand grabbed the host’s neck, who was still retreating.

The host, a level C Esper user himself, was now in Silienna’s hands like a helpless chick, unable to move. In a single confrontation, he lost all ability to resist.

With her other hand, she swept aside her red hair, revealing a bloodthirsty smile as she answered the host’s question:

“I said… all of you scum, are going to die today!”
