Langlang Mountain: I Survive with the System and Become a Sage of the Journey to the West

(System-driven story + dark Journey to the West + workplace survival. No saintly heroine, no bootlicking. The one who hangs on until the end wins!)

When Li Gou, a 996 office drone, transmigrates into the lowest-ranking wild boar demon on Langlang Mountain, the System he activates turns out to be the “Survival Through Playing It Safe System”!

[Ding! The lingering soul of Sun Wukong is approaching. Spend 100 Survival Points to redeem the “Play Dead for Thirty Years” package?] [Warning! The wolf-demon squad leader is using workplace manipulation on you. Activate the “Turn the Tables with Empty Promises” skill immediately!]

While scrubbing pots, he has to avoid being turned into braised pork. When slacking off, he has to stay clear of the pilgrimage party. Even playing dead means competing with everyone else. This Journey to the West world is more cutthroat than the office!

Looking at the three skills on his panel, “Backstab and Counterkill,” “Slack Off at Work,” and “Crisis Alert,” Li Gou clenches his tail. “Cutthroat? Nobody can out-hustle an old office drone like me!”

From then on, a legend arose on Langlang Mountain: a wild boar demon who reached max level by scrubbing pots and slacking off. Even Guanyin has to call him “Brother Gou,” and the Jade Emperor offers him a cigarette whenever they meet. After all, he's the only one in the Three Realms who knows the pilgrimage project's ultimate KPI is “dismantle Sun Wukong into six pieces and sell them for money”!
