A modern office worker transmigrates into Journey to the West.
When he wakes up, he finds himself the chief scout of Lion Camel Ridge.
Above him are three great demon kings, any one of whom could swallow him whole. Below him is a mountain full of little demons. If he can't manage them, he'll get scolded; if he manages them too well, they'll resent him. And a group of pilgrims is heading this way. Sun Wukong's staff doesn't discriminate, and just being a demon is enough to get him killed eight hundred times over.
Liu Dashun takes stock of the situation and reaches one conclusion:
He has to figure out how to survive.
Don't resist. Don't pass along information. Don't pick sides. Don't draw attention. Keep his head down as a demon. Hide whenever he can, run whenever he can.
But Sun Wukong gets in first.
He sits right across from Liu Dashun, wearing the face of a little scout and puffing on a Hongtashan cigarette Liu Dashun handed him.
[Sun Wukong's Favorability +1, Current Favorability: 1/100]
Liu Dashun stares at the System notification in silence for a long time.
Then he decides to take a gamble.
