Journey to the West: I'm the Ultimate Nepotism Hire

Others transmigrate to the Primordial World: They tread carefully, keeping a low profile as they cultivate their way to sainthood. Chen Muye transmigrates to the Primordial World: from the start, he gets a dragon egg. Well, look at that, he's instantly connected to the top brass of the Three Realms! Taishang Laojun takes him on as a grand-disciple, gives him cultivation techniques and divine gear, then pats him on the shoulder. “The Journey to the West begins in five hundred years. Go protect the pilgrims.” Chen Muye: “You got it! I know the script by heart!” So, along the Journey to the West: While Sun Wukong fights demons, he munches on sunflower seeds nearby; When Zhu Bajie gets thrashed, he frantically takes pictures to remember the moment; Passing Wuzhuang Temple, he sneaks nine Ginseng Fruits home; When he meets a nine-tailed fox, he waves grandly. “Don't be afraid. I'll protect you from now on!” The pilgrimage team suffers and enjoys themselves in equal measure. This lord, are you here to protect us, or to take a taxpayer-funded vacation? Years later, rumors spread through the Three Realms: “The True Lord of the Twelve Heavenly Gods? Oh, that winner whose connections are so powerful they make immortals cry, who comes with thunder-and-fire special effects whenever he fights, has three stunning Daoist companions at home, and patrols the Three Realms while showing off his love life?” Chen Muye reclines in his rocking chair, eating grapes fed to him by his wife. “Keep it down, keep it down. I'm just an ordinary fun-loving fellow from the Primordial World.”
