Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True

Ye Bai used her insight to check Felix’s status and noticed a debuff labeled 【Unknown High Fever】 in his personal condition.

Under this abnormal state, he remained unconscious, while his stamina, food, and hydration levels slowly declined.

Given Ye Bai’s keen sense for quests, she could almost assert that this situation was undoubtedly tied to Felix’s personal mission.

Ye Bai and Vider carried Felix to the herbalist’s hut.

“Lord Ye Bai, you’re here too?”

Lucy was surprised to see Ye Bai but quickly directed Vider to carry Felix to the sickbed in the inner room.

After carefully examining Felix’s condition, Lucy prepared a concoction from her assortment of herbal remedies. Once administered, the young man’s tightly furrowed brows visibly relaxed.

“His condition should stabilize now. He’ll be fine.”

Lucy, revered among the villagers for her healing skills, earned an immediate sigh of relief from Vider. “That puts my mind at ease…”

“Oh no!” Vider suddenly remembered the task he’d left unfinished. “The armor plates I was forging are still in the quenching stage!”

Ye Bai quickly reassured him, “Go ahead. I’ll handle things here.”

“Thank goodness.” Vider strode out of the herbalist’s hut without another worry.

Left alone with Lucy, Ye Bai asked, “Do you have any idea what’s causing this?”

Lucy nodded. “The last time I treated Felix, I noticed his constitution was different from ours. At the time, my skills weren’t advanced enough to pinpoint the issue. But about ten days ago, he came to me alone, complaining of a burning sensation inside him—like fire raging in his veins. Oddly, he didn’t feel any heat even when standing near the forge’s flames…”

“I tried using frost nettle to ease the symptoms, but it barely helped. I suspect Felix isn’t suffering from an illness. Instead, it’s more like an untapped power within him, lacking proper guidance and draining his vitality. Much like how I resonate with plants.”

Listening to Lucy’s analysis, Ye Bai nodded in agreement. Lucy’s deduction was correct—Felix’s innate talent, 【Burning Blood】, was likely the root of his condition.

Ye Bai had previously theorized that Felix originated from one of the Chaos Faction’s “Forge” lineages, a product of artificial bloodline modification. Now, it seemed his body couldn’t fully withstand his own gift, turning his talent into a burden.

After a pause, Lucy glanced at the unconscious Felix. “If nothing changes, these episodes will keep recurring, and his constitution will only weaken further.”

Ye Bai’s thoughts raced. She realized that Felix’s quest might not have been issued by him personally.

This wasn’t uncommon—sometimes, an NPC’s friends or relatives would reveal their unfulfilled desires to players, allowing them to take on that NPC’s personal quest.

Ye Bai turned to Lucy. “Is there any way to fix this?”

Lucy pondered. “Ice-element suppression seems ineffective. Perhaps what he needs is an item that can truly alter his physique, allowing him to harmonize with the power within him… Given the fiery nature of his condition, maybe the legendary Dragonheart Fruit could work?”

【Herbalist ‘Lucy’ has issued Felix’s personal quest ‘Search for the Dragonheart Fruit.’ Will you accept?】

As expected, Felix’s quest had been assigned by Lucy. Ye Bai wasn’t surprised.

The ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‍Dragonheart Fruit was a legendary alchemical ingredient, exceedingly rare, known to greatly boost vitality and grant 40% fire resistance.

There were only two ways to obtain it: First, slaying bosses with “Dragon” in their name—though such foes were scarce, and the drop rate was abysmal.

Second, joining the Alchemist Guild, grinding faction reputation to a high rank, and checking their monthly shop rotation for a chance to purchase it among other rare materials.

The first method was akin to winning the lottery. The second was off-limits for Ye Bai, who had already pledged allegiance to the Assassin Faction.

There was, of course, a third option—buying it from players. But at this stage, high-level players were few, and those willing to part with legendary materials even fewer.

Drawing from past experience, Ye Bai didn’t immediately accept. Instead, she asked Lucy, “Is the Dragonheart Fruit absolutely necessary? If the goal is to fix Felix’s condition, wouldn’t any equivalent item work?”

Lucy blinked, then nodded. “You’re right, Lord Ye Bai. I only mentioned the Dragonheart Fruit because it’s the one I’ve heard of. If you can find another solution, that would be just as good!”

【Herbalist ‘Lucy’ has issued Felix’s personal quest ‘A Remedy for Burning Blood.’ Will you accept?】

Perfect!

Ye Bai accepted the revised quest with satisfaction. After completing Dilina’s mission, she’d learned that some quests were negotiable—though the new terms had to be as good as or better than the original.

For Felix’s quest, Ye Bai already had a plan.

Finding a Dragonheart Fruit in the realm of Boundless would be tedious. But she also had the “Divine King’s Treasure” quest from the Celestial Realm’s paper figurine, which required a journey to the Inferno.

Compared to the Chaos Faction’s artificially crafted “Scions of the Sun,” the natives of the Inferno—born of magma and chaos—could rightfully be called “the Sun” itself.

While completing that quest, Ye Bai might just stumble upon something suitable for Felix.

Glancing at the 《Codex of Death》 tucked in her inventory, Ye Bai felt optimistic—the Celestial Realm was practically a treasure trove!

Even if she found nothing there, the revised quest was no longer restricted to a single solution, giving her more flexibility.

“Leave it to me. I’ll find a way soon,” Ye Bai assured Lucy before taking her leave.

“Felix, did you hear that? You won’t have to suffer anymore—” Lucy smiled warmly at the unconscious boy. “Our Lord Ye Bai can do anything!”

As if hearing her words, the slumbering youth finally relaxed completely, his expression peaceful at last…

After leaving the herbalist’s hut, Ye Bai sought out the special talents among the latest group of refugees who had joined the territory, inspecting each of their innate gifts.

This batch of special talents consisted of seven individuals. Perhaps due to the influence of the [Sewing Hall] title, there was a higher number of individuals with tailoring aptitudes—three of the special talents were suited for the tailoring profession. Naturally, Ye Bai assigned all of them to the Advanced Tailor Shop.

Among the remaining four, one had a [Mineral Identification] skill and was, unsurprisingly, assigned to the other blacksmith shop. The other three possessed previously unseen talents:

The first was named Qin, who had the [Animal Affinity] talent, which increased animal taming speed by 20%. Ye Bai assigned her to the Advanced Ranch without hesitation.

Another villager, Rory, possessed the [Silver-Tongued] talent, which boosted commercial skill proficiency by 15% and increased the attractiveness of the commercial building where he worked by 10%.

Ye Bai immediately placed him in the Merchant Guild. Although there was currently only one trade route with Merlot City, having Rory stationed there would increase the building’s appeal, encouraging more merchants to trade in White Night Town. Once his proficiency advanced to the [Trader] profession, he could even secure trade discounts from merchants.

The last special talent, Polly, stood out as the most exceptional in this group, possessing two talents: [Quick Study] and [Basic Magic Sensitivity].

As the territory leveled up—especially with the transition from village to town—the hidden traits of special talents also evolved. Initially suited for essential production roles, their aptitudes now leaned toward higher-tier technologies and academic disciplines.

For example, Polly’s [Quick Study] talent, which increased learning speed by 20%, made her ideal for scholarly pursuits. Meanwhile, her [Basic Magic Sensitivity], clearly influenced by Merlot City’s magic-oriented effects, indicated potential as a mage.

Ye Bai assigned Polly to teach at the territory’s General Education School—after upgrading the school’s technology, it became possible to check whether new immigrants had received prior education.

Unsurprisingly, given her [Quick Study] talent, Polly was well-educated and fully qualified for the role.

After arranging the special talents, Ye Bai returned to her office as the town mayor and logged out.

Her next step would be preparing for her own class advancement. She was eager to see whether reaching Level 40 would allow her to ascend to a C-rank psychic in reality.
