The Monkey King Must Die: From Broken Engagement to Divine Powers

Programmer Li Changshou works himself to death from overtime. When he opens his eyes, he's become the most famous good-for-nothing on the Yuanmai Continent: a person with a useless, zero-vein constitution. His family despises him, and his fiancée shows up to break off their engagement. On the day the engagement is called off, he finds a purple-gold gourd in the hills behind his home. An acerbic old man lives inside, with a tongue even nastier than his insults, but genuine skills to back it up. The old man tells Li Changshou that the gourd has just one ability: call out someone's name, and if they answer, the gourd will suck them inside. Li Changshou falls silent. Having read Journey to the West inside and out, he can't help feeling that he's seen this ability somewhere before. But there's no time to dwell on it. The sect competition is a year away, and he has to win back the dignity he lost on the day his engagement was broken off, one punch at a time, in front of everyone. What he doesn't know is that the gourd's secrets go far beyond anything he can imagine. Watch as a modern wage slave uses a gourd and a silver tongue to carve out an unprecedented path of cultivation in another world.
