Journey to the West: It's Just a Trip, Why Take It So Seriously?

The protagonist, Li Xiaoyao, used to be an overworked tour guide before he transmigrated. He wakes up to discover that he’s Tang Sanzang. His first thought: “Fetch the scriptures? I quit this lousy job!”

Guanyin appears to pressure him, and Li Xiaoyao pulls out a “Datang Travel VIP Card” redeemed through the System. “Ma’am, would you like a membership? Pay one hundred and get eighty extra. Discounted round-trip flights to the Western Heaven.”

The System issues a beginner quest: “Complete a ‘cloud tourism’ livestream in Chang’an City and explain the plot of Journey to the West to Li Shimin.” When the protagonist spoils the “Daughter Kingdom” section, Guanyin urgently cuts the signal, and Li Shimin is devastated on the spot.

Forced to set off, he doesn’t go to Two Realms Mountain for his first stop. Instead, he turns around and heads for a popular photo spot at a waterfall on the borders of the Great Tang. When Tathagata receives the itinerary at Spirit Mountain, his golden alms bowl hits the floor and shatters. “Let him go! Let him stay on the proper path!”
