Earning Credits Without Playing Tang Monk

To earn credits and get an internship stamp, Liu Ji put all his strength into volunteering at a temple. But before he could get the stamp, the abbot ascended to heaven in a blaze, taking his internship contract with him. With his dying breath, he gave Liu Ji a prayer bead and told him to gather twelve beads to earn real credits.

Just as Liu Ji was frozen stiff, like Tang Sanzang on a chopping block, a string of glowing green numbers gathered into a man in a suit.

Long Shaoming: I'm the new butler here. I swear to protect the young master!

From then on, things spiraled out of control. Liu Ji became the wolf king's savior and recruited an underworld civil servant to work for him. Like Tang Sanzang, wherever he went, a swarm of demons and monsters came crawling out, hungry for his body.

I've had enough! Whoever wants these credits can have them! Ding dong, blind-box setting triggered. Enter password:

[Wang Baochuan comes out carrying her vegetable basket: Even if the whole world betrays me, I will never betray him!]

[Zhuo Wenjun reports for duty: He's just a bit playful. I'll get him to come home!]

Just as expected, in the village caught in a maze of love-brained fools, there was a whole crowd of crazy demons. You could never talk them all out of it. There were simply too many!

Long Shaoming: In that case, why not beat their men to death?

Liu Ji: That's rash. Get them to focus on their careers instead. You go be the bait.

The demons and monsters Liu Ji encountered along the way were no less numerous than those Tang Sanzang met. Some even appeared bearing the names of the Seven Deadly Sins. Blind boxes kept opening to reveal unknown surprises. He met the ultimate support, Sun Wukong, and a whole string of people that no one could imagine a blind box might contain. He even traded tricks with Bao'er-jie. From being easily frightened to directing demons and monsters at work, he had practically become Tang Sanzang himself. He gained not only prayer beads, but also a pure and upright heart.

But later, he found himself unable to look his butler in the eye, afraid the Buddha would punish him.

Liu Ji: I want to say I'm not Tang Sanzang, and you're not Sun Wukong, so...

Long Shaoming: Exactly. So does the young master want to be friends with me?

Whether they could become friends or attain Buddhahood was anyone's guess, but Liu Ji had become a beacon in everyone's heart.
