A Monk from the Start: Playing Dumb to Catch the Tiger

Tan Sheng accidentally transmigrates into the world of Journey to the West and becomes Tang Sanzang. Unarmed and convinced that the eighty-one trials of the pilgrimage are far too dangerous, he plans to lie flat. Unexpectedly, he awakens the Westward Journey Mission System. As long as he completes missions, he can earn rewards and return to the Blue Star. From then on, he sets out on a road with no return. “Eighty-one trials? Piece of cake!” “Master, Brother Monkey’s been captured!” “No worries. Just watch as your master subdues that demon and rescues Wukong!” “Wukong, stand aside. Let your master see which demon dares to be so insolent!” Who would’ve thought the System’s final mission would be to storm Heaven? “Isn’t that asking me to become the Monkey King from five hundred years ago?” “That’s a tiny bit difficult!” “Can’t we just go easy on them?” “Who knew Tang Sanzang had to die before I could go back?”
