Global Creation: Beginning with Binding a God Simulator

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: The Age of Beetles, Tianzhou's New Students Group



The two of them soon arrived at the innermost counter of the shop.

What greeted Bai Ze's eyes were cards that left him astonished.

"Western Leader Dragon, Crimson Moon Awakens, Mechanical Empire," Bai Ze read aloud, one by one.

Each A-grade creature card contained a direct summon of a transcendent being, all of which were high-bloodline creatures.

However, the prices ranged in the billions.

With that in mind, Bai Ze truly couldn't afford them. But then again, didn't the heirs of those top financial families start with a pile of transcendent creatures from birth?

"Wait, isn't this card also A-grade? Why is it so cheap?"

Suddenly, Bai Ze seemed to notice something and immediately stopped in his tracks.

[Age of Beetles (A-Grade Creature Card)]:

Upon activation, it releases a swarm of giant beetles that will sweep through the world. These creatures have tough armor and strong wings, and among them is a transcendent being the Beetle Lord.

Price: 80 million

"Oh, sir, this card is indeed A-grade, but..." The female clerk hesitated before explaining, "These giant beetles don't possess a high bloodline. Moreover, they are considered pests that can devastate a planet's ecosystem."

"Generally, wealthy planet owners wouldn't choose such creatures, so the price kept dropping and eventually reached this point."

Listening to the explanation, Bai Ze thought for a moment.

Suddenly, a towering figure flashed through his mind, standing upright on a continent.

"Cosmic Kaiju?"

Murmuring the words to himself, Bai Ze seemed to realize how he could develop such creatures.

"I'll take this card!" Bai Ze declared with an unwavering tone.

Hearing this, the female clerk was momentarily stunned and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Sir, perhaps you should reconsider. If funds are an issue, I can hold onto other cards for you."

"This Age of Beetles card is quite infamous among creators. I heard that a second-tier planet owner used it before, but within just three days, their world was completely devoured, with most of its creatures wiped out. They never recovered after that!"

It wasn't easy for South City to produce a rare genius, and naturally, no one wanted to see a tragedy unfold.

However, Bai Ze didn't care. Instead, he wore an expression full of confidence.

Devastate the ecosystem?

What a joke!

He had a world with spiritual energy resurgence and accelerated growth at a rate of ten thousand times.

Even if he let them eat freely, they wouldn't be able to finish; they might even overeat and die.

So Bai Ze was utterly unfazed.

"I've made up my mind. This is the card. How do I pay?" Bai Ze asked with a slight smile.

Seeing his resolve, the female clerk knew there was no point in arguing further.

"Uh… This is a store within the Creation Tower. Just go to the counter and swipe your card to pay."

With that, she retrieved the card that had been encased in a glass display and led Bai Ze to the payment counter.

"Will this card work?" Bai Ze took out a black card.

At first glance, the clerk was astonished.

It was the top-tier black card of the Interstellar Federation, valued at a full hundred million Federation credits!

It seemed the rumors were true Bai Ze had indeed been recruited by Tenzhou Academy at a high cost.

Unfortunately, he had chosen this card...

"Yes, sir," she replied.

After taking the black card, she swiped it through the payment terminal.

Immediately, an announcement echoed throughout the first floor.

[Ding-dong! A-Grade Creature Card Age of Beetles transaction complete. 80 million Federation credits deducted!]

"What? Age of Beetles?"

"Someone dared to buy that card? Are they out of their mind?"

As Bai Ze walked out of the shop with the Age of Beetles card in hand, a crowd of creators began to gather their gazes on him.

"So, it was him who purchased the Age of Beetles."

"Sure, he's a genius, but isn't this too reckless? That card once destroyed an entire second-tier planet's ecosystem!"

"All right, all right, let's disperse. Youthful arrogance always comes with a price. Looks like South City's rare genius is about to meet his downfall."

As the onlookers slowly dispersed, Bai Ze's expression remained calm.

It was normal for them to be unaware. After all, if everyone knew about his circumstances, their reactions would likely be a hundred times worse.

"Cosmic Kaiju, huh..."

Bai Ze jogged back to his humble apartment.

However, just a few steps in, his phone started ringing.

Ring-ring-ring

Hurriedly answering the call, Bai Ze heard Xia Yinyue's voice from the other side.

"Bai Ze, are you home yet?" Xia Yinyue asked with a cheerful tone.

"Yeah, I just got back from the Creation Tower," Bai Ze replied.

On the other end, Xia Yinyue was lying on her bed in a pair of shorts and a pajama top with a cute bear pattern. Her delicate feet swung playfully in the air as she pondered before continuing,

"Did you find any cards you liked at the Creation Tower?"

As he walked toward his bedroom, Bai Ze chuckled bitterly and said, "I bought an A-grade card, Age of Beetles. The main reason is that I couldn't afford anything else."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yinyue immediately sat up.

"Age of Beetles?" she exclaimed. "That card is famous! I heard it once destroyed an entire second-tier planet's ecosystem. You'd better be careful with it."

Hearing her concerned tone, Bai Ze could only shake his head helplessly.

Why did this sound so familiar? Was this card really that notorious?

Even Xia Yinyue knew about it?

"Got it, Yinyue. I'll be careful."

"Okay… Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhou contacted me earlier. He gave me three A-grade cards and a scholarship."

"Also, he added me to a new student group. All the students admitted to Tenzhou Academy this year are in it not just from South City but also nearby cities."

"I'm going to take a shower now. Check if you've received any messages on your phone."

With that, the call ended. Bai Ze curiously opened his chat app.

At a glance, he noticed that someone named Mr. Zhou had added him and inexplicably dragged him into a group.

Tenzhou Freshman Class

"So that's the group name?"

Just as Bai Ze was pondering, his phone buzzed again.

"Wow, another new member?"

"Looks like this year's competition is fierce. So many people made it into Tenzhou Academy!"

As messages flooded the chat, someone suddenly noticed the name change in the group.

"Bai Ze?"

"That name sounds familiar. Isn't he the top-tier genius from South City?"

"Rumor has it that he single-handedly crushed his entire school earlier today and was admitted to Tenzhou with a lucrative offer!"

As the news spread, the group exploded with activity.
