After transmigrating into Journey to the West, Lin Chen finds himself in the body of Tang Sanzang, a man too weak to even truss a chicken.
From the start, at Shuangcha Ridge, Tiger Vanguard wants to steam him and eat him?
Lin Chen calmly pulls out a crowbar. “According to the lever principle, if the lever arm is long enough, I can pry your skull right off.”
Sun Wukong: “Master, why does this headband spell give me a headache?”
Lin Chen: “That's infrasound resonance. It's just the thing for a cheeky monkey who won't behave.”
Red Boy: “I have Samadhi True Fire! I'll burn you to death!”
Lin Chen pulls out a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. “According to chemistry, cut off the oxygen and the fire goes out.”
From that point on, Journey to the West goes completely off the rails.
Tiger Vanguard is sent to build roads in the Tang Empire, Black Bear Spirit becomes head of mountain security, and Red Boy gets a job at the Flaming Mountain power plant...
The Tathagata: “Xuanzang, why don't you bow?”
Lin Chen: “Buddha, according to the law of universal gravitation, the lotus pedestal you're sitting on has too little surface area and too much pressure. It could collapse.”
This is the story of a straight-laced science nerd who turns Journey to the West into one giant science lesson with all the physics, chemistry, and biology in his head.
The demons line up to submit their resumes. “Please stop explaining! We'll report to the job center right away!”
