Cheng Shu was born a rebel.
At some point, a cultivation game appeared on his phone. It seemed kind of interesting!
On his first day playing, he got a pop-up question:
As a Rainbow Cloud Boy serving under Nuwa, what will you do when the Shang emperor writes a poem insulting Nuwa?
1. Volunteer to become the bewitching consort who brings ruin to the country
2. Comfort Nuwa and ask her to send a nine-tailed fox to wreak havoc on the Shang
3. Slap him hard. Give the bastard what he deserves
4. Grab Di Xin by the shoulders and shake him hard, shaking the water out of his brain
There were four choices in all. He picked 3.
That night, he dreamed he had become Di Xin.
Great! The moment he opened his eyes, the Rainbow Cloud Boy slapped him...
The next time he saw a familiar pop-up question:
Empress Jiang is about to have her eyes gouged out. You are one of her guards. What will you do?
1. Gouge out my eyes instead! Don't hurt Her Majesty!
2. Risk everything for my lord, kill the messenger, and take Empress Jiang home
3. Save myself by surrendering to Daji
4. Break through the encirclement, kill Di Xin, and enthrone Yin Jiao
Confidently, he picked 1. That night, he successfully transmigrated into a guard, just as a knife was about to stab into his eye.
After answering questions in the Investiture of the Gods world ten times, he realized he had figured out the pattern!
But this time, the question had changed to...
You have transmigrated into Chen Guangrui's page. You're in the cabin, and assassins have reached the cabin where the Chen family is. What will you do?
1. Protect your master with everything you have and fight the assassins to the end
2. Jump overboard to escape, abandoning your master
3. Flee with the future Tang Monk
4. Do all of the above
Confidently, he picked 4. He thought he would transmigrate into Chen Guangrui, but instead he became the peach tree drooling over Sun Wukong beneath Five Elements Mountain.
Game! Are you seriously not even trying anymore?
Never mind the half-hearted choices. At least let me stay on the boat!

"About the fact that our Nezha is always a die-hard fan of the protagonist"
Remember to tell Sun Wukong before you leave.
The restrictions are so big that I can't even speak to the leader. No wonder I didn't tell the country's father in real life [Top chin][Top chin]
Wow, it became a peach tree this time, or a peach tree next to the great sage who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. How will it develop this time? [Spread hands][Hold chin]
Alas, why is it over? Alas, I really want to see more of their interactions. I haven't seen Nezha from Journey to the West yet. There are so many people who I feel like I can play and meet [pick my brain]
