Jiang Chen, an ordinary passerby, transmigrates into Journey to the West and receives the “Pilgrimage Obstacle” System.
The System's demand: keep setting traps for Tang Sanzang and his disciples. The harsher the trap, the greater the reward.
Jiang Chen's smile turns increasingly unhinged as he hands Tang Sanzang a copy of The Pilgrim's Guide to Picking Up Women.
He expects Tang Sanzang to fly into a rage, but instead the monk stays up all night reading the latest chapters, then blushes and asks whether there's a special edition featuring demons.
Sun Wukong is even more outrageous. After getting his hands on The Seventy-Two Transformations Hairstyle Guide, he pesters Jiang Chen every day for a perm and a salon membership.
Sha Wujing becomes obsessed with Fish Farming Techniques in the Flowing Sand River, while Zhu Bajie...
Just as Jiang Chen is congratulating himself, Guanyin shows up, rubbing her temples. “Please, I'm begging you. Give them a chance to live!”
He is about to explain when the System suddenly issues a new mission:
“Host, join the pilgrimage party at once. Mission objective: make the journey more entertaining!”
Jiang Chen looks at the four disciples before him, all bristling with murderous intent, and his smile freezes.
