[Please choose one item to permanently fix!]
[Note: To permanently retain the Tentacle Monster King from the last simulation, you must spend 100 Creation Points.]
Su Bai answered without hesitation:
"Permanently fix the Tentacle Monster King."
After all, this was currently his only Transcendent Creature.
[Fixation successful.]
In addition,
Lines of descriptive text appeared on the latest simulation interface.
[Stag Beetle, Bamboo Mite Spider, Sea Spider.]
"Temporarily fix the Hercules beetle"
Su Bai considered for a moment and still chose the strongest overlord of the Insect Era.
Though the Sea Spider had survived the longest, it relied on one thing:
"As long as I'm weak and useless enough, no one will bother with me."
At present, he had a total of 3,200 Creation Points—a modest gain, though the cooldowns were painfully long.
Su Bai's consciousness returned to reality, and he opened the window for a breath of fresh air.
Then, picking up his pen, he jotted some notes in his notebook.
"Preliminary deduction: the Call of Cthulhu Talent can trigger mysterious cosmic fluctuations and draw in meteors."
"From a current standpoint, this is a devastating threat—but sometimes it may be a blessing in disguise, revealing the presence of enemies or resources in the universe."
He grabbed his phone and searched for starspace-related information.
The cosmos was vast and boundless, full of both dangers and opportunities.
Picking up a random rock out there could net you a meteorite—worth a fortune.
For ordinary World Masters, the most reliable source of income was sending their subordinates into the universe to collect space junk.
Bringing back a chunk of meteorite could be turned into land, boosting the world's foundation.
Finding a bit of ice? Already a huge windfall.
As for cards—those were basically fantasy-level treasures.
The odds were about the same as finding a gold nugget on the sidewalk.
Many World Masters considered themselves lucky just to prevent their world from regressing.
Quite a few mismanaged things so badly that they had to sell their worlds—
Even total world collapse was a common headline.
But Su Bai had the clue of the meteor, which he could slowly investigate.
—Of course, he'd first need the strength to withstand the first meteor impact.
"Time is short. For these last few simulations, I need to speedrun and focus on Talent rolls."
"The survival route doesn't work. Once world resources run out, it's game over."
"I must get out into the universe before the world's foundations are depleted!"
"Cthulhu's Talent had hidden plotlines—other Talents might too. I'll need to pay closer attention to details during simulations."
Just as he was deep in thought, his phone buzzed.
Class monitor Chi Lansu had sent him a text:
"How's world-building going at home? Did you awaken any special powers?"
"Ehehe~ I just encountered a cosmic storm while traveling through starspace. It dropped my world temperature to minus twenty degrees."
"All the little people I raised died. o(╥﹏╥)o"
Su Bai was shocked.
"Chi Lansu ran into a cosmic storm? Doesn't that mean she'll fall behind from the start?"
He quickly replied to her:
"All your lifeforms died? Have you asked the school for help?"
"I remember there's a type of gene card that can directly create specific creatures in your world. With your potential, you should be able to apply for one in advance."
Ten kilometers away, in a cozy apartment,
A lively teenage girl with a ponytail squealed with delight.
"He finally replied!"
Smiling sweetly, the girl texted back:
"I asked already. My situation is kinda special—most of the creatures died."
"But a few adapted to the cold. That cosmic storm mutated my world—it's now an icy realm."
"The world's consciousness notified me of the change. The surviving creatures evolved into semi-elemental, semi-material Snowmen. But there are only 100 left—every death counts."
Reading her reply, Su Bai was stunned.
"Turning misfortune into fortune? A post-birth mutation?"
He sighed—after enduring countless struggles in the simulator, he only had one subordinate.
Chi Lansu, meanwhile, already had a team of special creatures.
"It's hard to say right now. Best if you visit the school tomorrow and ask Teacher Li or even the principal to take a look."
"Mhm! You work hard too. If you ever need help, just let me know."
"I've got tons of ice now. Once I manage to condense a resource card, I'll send one your way."
Chi Lansu was quite generous.
Su Bai couldn't help but chuckle. Every world had its own unique attributes.
World Masters often traded resources among each other—but the class monitor was being a little too enthusiastic.
He replied in time:
"Every bit of resource is super precious at the starting stage. Don't act recklessly."
Chi Lansu responded with an angry emoji.
"I know, okay? I only offered because you're naturally disadvantaged. I wouldn't do that for anyone else."
The two chatted for a while, exchanging thoughts on world creation before bidding each other goodbye.
As soon as she turned off her phone, Chi Lansu suddenly exclaimed:
"Ah! I totally forgot—I messaged him for something else!"
"Never mind, I'll talk to him tomorrow."
She closed her eyes and immersed herself in her own world.
...
Su Bai had never found two hours to feel so long.
Only at 22:11 did the cooldown finally reset.
He instantly summoned the simulator.
"Start a ten-roll draw!"
This was the fifth simulation.
He was halfway through the guaranteed ten-pull—odds were in his favor!
Mist and swirling words emerged in front of his eyes.
And in the next instant, a dazzling, radiant orange light burst forth, unlike any before!
"It's here! It's here!"
Su Bai's eyes widened, eager to see what this Talent could do.
A melodious chime rang out in his ears.
[Ding-dong~~ Guaranteed orange Talent: "Heavenly Projection" obtained~~]
