I’m Just Earning Credits, So Why Are You Making Me Fight the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

What should you do if you're put on academic probation?

Earn more credits to make up for it.

Wait, whose college credit program requires you to go on a journey to the West?

[Protect Guanyin Monastery] is manageable, but what the heck is [Educate the Yellow Wind Great Sage]?

Fine, [Destroy the Lion Camel Kingdom and Defeat the Golden-Winged Great Peng] is one thing, but are they serious about [Wreak Havoc in Heaven and Throw Mount Ling into Chaos]?

Wait, you can exchange credits for rewards!

Cultivation techniques: "Great Celestial Immortal Art", "Battle-Hardening Method / Bedchamber Arts"...

Immortal arts: "Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Arts", "Heaven and Earth as One", "The Universe in One's Sleeve"...

Spirit treasures: "Purple-Gold Red Gourd, Male", "Diamond Bangle, Female"...

An Yi: “I'm in!”

Much later

“Seriously, man, I just wanted to earn some credits. You're making me fight the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?”
