How do I make a changing value stick?

I'm not sure how the question could be asked, but I have a game that I have been playing for months, but the longer I play it, then longer each item takes to build, IE, at first it only took around 2 to 5 minutes to build or upgrade a building, but now it takes around 3-5 days, and even longer to upgrade, unless I pay huge amounts of real cash to buy crystals to use to speed up the processes, but before I explain what I wanted to do, I'm by no means a noob when it comes to cheat engine, I've used it many times in the past when I can't get beyond a level, such as when playing match 3 games and even though it says it can be done in 20 moves, it definitely can't, and when all the lives have been lost, real money is needed to buy more, which I don't mind in some circumstances, but when the longer the game is played the more money has to be used and the higher the price, that's where I draw the line.
Anyway, I loaded up cheat engine and loaded the game's process into it, and noted the amount of crystals, IE 12, I did an 'all' search using exact value, of 12, which showed a bunch load of addresses, so I played the game a little and use a couple of crystals, and then did a 'Next Scan' for say 10, which found only 1 entry, so I copied that address into the lower window, then altered the data to 50, then went back to the game, and used 1 more crystal, the crystal amount did show 50, then spun down to 9, and when I looked at cheat engine, that value had also changed to 9, so I changed the value back to 50, then put a check 'x' into the 'Activated' box next to the address, and tried again, again with using 1 crystal, and this time, the game amount instead of spinning down, showed the 50, then shot straight down to 8.
The question is, how do I get the value to stick? The game is not server side, as I have blocked it in the firewall.
