Entropy Void - Glitch Symbiosis Academy, Cosmic Era 40
Su Qing stood before the Inspiration Tree, watching its root system pierce the dimensional barrier and extend into the spirit net nodes of various universes. A mechanical gardener from Panda Planet was fertilizing the roots—the fertilizer was a mixture of the "rebellion slogans" of Alpha-19 and the "useless code" of the Minimalist Universe. Zhu Qing spun her Mechanical Prosthetic Eye, projecting cross-universe trade data: "Creative glitch trading volume has increased by 300% quarter-over-quarter, and 'non-standard inspiration' has become the scarcest resource."
Lin Xiaoman's Glitch Light Wings swept across the trading hall, the tips of her wings brushing against the "Inspiration Futures" screen: "Abstract art glitches from Cygnus Gamma can be exchanged for three tons of bamboo gears on Panda Planet; Earth's 'procrastination glitch' has actually been developed by the Minimalist Universe into a 'meditation timer'." She pointed toward a mysterious cultivator in the corner, who was creating music using the accretion disk phenomenon of a black hole. "He calls this 'Chaos Blues'," she said, "and orders are already lined up three galaxies away."
