[Game invasion + Journey to the West world + decisive and ruthless + sharp-minded + lighthearted comedy + wish fulfillment]
Veteran gamer Xie Qun transmigrates into the game Mythic Journey to the West and becomes a little tree demon NPC at the foot of Fangcun Mountain, one whose experience points are too low for even new players to bother with.
From the start, a pig demon is about to chop him down for firewood.
In three days, Buddhist guardian warriors will sweep the mountains clean, wiping out every wild demon without a sect to protect it.
Using his knowledge of the plot to his advantage, Xie Qun kills the pig demon, snatches a Daoist divine rune, purges his demonic aura, then disguises himself as the most inconspicuous sweeping boy in the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars to mislead Sun Wukong. But he soon discovers that this world will not obediently follow the game's script.
The good news is that Xie Qun remembers every hidden storyline, ancient secret, and divine artifact's whereabouts. He knows who will soar to greatness and who will die in a tribulation.
The bad news is that the Buddhist mountain-cleansing comes early, unknown events keep cropping up, and every opportunity he steals causes the future to stray further from his memories.
Of course, none of that matters.
Xie Qun: “Destiny is just a story told to those who don't know the answers! I only need to take their opportunities and kill my enemies before the ending arrives.”
