After transmigrating into Sun Wukong just after he had stirred up the underworld, Lin Chen stared at the System panel and fell into thought. Everyone else leveled up by fighting monsters, but he was going to build infrastructure!
He extracted the Golden Cudgel’s “limitless transformations” to build automatic catapults for the monkey soldiers; combined the “life-essence” of the Peaches of Immortality to build a Huaguo Mountain sanatorium; and even converted Laozi’s alchemy furnace into a “thermal power plant,” lighting up the Water Curtain Cave like daylight.
The Heavenly Court wants to recruit him? “Unless you’re making me Emperor of Heaven, forget it!”
Tathagata sets a trap? “The Bodhi trees at Spirit Mountain look nice. I’ll transplant some to Huaguo Mountain for landscaping.”
The Bull Demon King said, “Brother, let’s revolt against Heaven!”
Lin Chen replied, “No rush. First, let’s build a cross-sea bridge to the Dragon Palace. Borrowing treasures will be much easier that way.”
Then one day, the Three Realms discovered that Huaguo Mountain’s monkey soldiers wore armor and carried cannons, and even the old monkey guarding the gate could casually toss out a palm-sized thunderbolt.
The Jade Emperor exclaimed, “That damn monkey… How did he turn Huaguo Mountain into the strongest fortress in the Three Realms?”
