When Tang Xuan realizes he has become Tang Sanzang, the monk on his way to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures, he is devastated.
No meat? No alcohol? No women? What kind of miserable life is this?
Luckily, his cheat arrives late, but it arrives all the same:
[Ding! The Journey to the West Disruption System is now bound!]
[Eat meat: +100 points!]
[Drink alcohol: +100 points!]
[With a woman... Ahem, +10,000 points!]
Tang Xuan looks at the System panel, the corners of his mouth lifting.
Sun Wukong: “Master! Why are you eating meat again??”
Tang Xuan takes a bite of roast chicken. “Want some? It earns points.”
Wukong scratches his head. The first time they met, this master of his spent three whole days explaining the “truth behind Journey to the West”: the power struggle between the Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain, the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and more. It all sounded pretty convincing.
So he became the first Great Sage Equal to Heaven in history to willingly bow and become a disciple without needing the tightening headband.
Zhu Bajie sidles up. “Master, look at that girl over there...”
Tang Xuan doesn’t even look up. “Shh, Bajie. I noticed her ages ago. Long legs, a slim waist, and a lovely bearing. You’ve got a good eye. But she’s a Bone Demon in disguise. Let me talk to her about her obsessions first, then take her on as an unofficial disciple.”
Bajie: “???”
From then on, the whole journey to fetch the scriptures goes completely off track.
