Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Hypnosis Hall.

People coming and going, a never-ending stream.

"Making a bucket of gold daily," Su Jie exclaimed involuntarily.

"Little brother Su Jie, are you so free?"

Before she arrived, her voice was heard.

With a seductive figure, Zhang Tong walked in from outside. She smiled bewitchingly, her red lips and white teeth shining, as her lively eyes took in Su Jie, who was resting at the side.

"Greetings, Vice Director," Su Jie stood up and greeted, "Because the customers I've received have all been hypnotized by me, I naturally have some free time."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Tong covered her mouth, speaking in a gentle tone, "You don't need to be so serious, I was only joking. And you got one thing wrong. This place is not making a bucket of gold daily, but rather, it's a cornucopia, the income in a single day can rival that of a nation."

People are restless with so many distractions, and if they cannot be calmed, it's extremely difficult to enter deep sleep.

One could say that even though various Cultivation Techniques like the Crystal Visualization Skill are publicly available online, complete with detailed video tutorials and analyses, very few can truly master them.

Therefore, the hypnotist has become one of the most lucrative professions of this era.

And Ming Lun's Hypnosis Hall was very much so.

Many people would pay a hefty price for themselves or for their children to enter deep sleep earlier than others and gain an advantage at the starting line.

And those who could come to the main hall of Ming Lun Hypnosis Hall were either rich or noble.

An income that could rival that of a nation was an indisputable fact.

"Vice Director, I apologize. The tribe located on the Primordial Star I entered is in the midst of a primal jungle. There are no volcanoes nearby, so collecting lava fruit might be difficult in the short term," Su Jie brought up the matter regarding the lava fruit.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Zhang Tong said nonchalantly.

This made Su Jie certain of one thing—Zhang Tong was indeed making connections with him, or rather, investing in him.

"I will look for them diligently in the future," Su Jie still promised.

"I like your honest nature," Zhang Tong chuckled, and changed the subject, "I heard that your life force has reached 7, Great Meditation? And you even defeated the three brothers of the Feng Family in a row."

Su Jie said, "It was merely a martial exchange. If their life forces hadn't been suppressed, I might have won with difficulty."

This statement, seemingly modest, was actually filled with confidence.

Won with difficulty...

Look, how confident!

However, appreciation was clear in Zhang Tong's eyes.

She knew that Su Jie was not an arrogant person. Although modest, his self-assessment was objective.

If he dared to say so, it proved that even if his life force was 7, when facing an opponent with a life force of 10, he still had a chance to win.

Tsk tsk.

If this were in a novel, it would be a case of overcoming challenges beyond one's level, the treatment of a true protagonist.

Before coming to the Hypnosis Hall, Zhang Tong had visited the inner courtyard of Ming Lun and chatted with the mental incarnations of Sun Shisheng and Wang Chao, as she was also considered one of the first within Ming Lun to eat crabs, maintaining relationships with the high-level insiders.

She had mentioned Su Jie to Sun Shisheng and Wang Chao.

And they were aware of him.

After all, there were few things in this world that could be kept hidden from them.

Regarding Su Jie, Sun Shisheng had commented, "A bit more outstanding than Wang Chao was at the beginning."

While Wang Chao had said, "To my left."

Zhang Tong felt that Wang Chao was just seeking face, and she believed more in what Sun Shisheng said—that Su Jie's talent and creativity were slightly higher than Wang Chao's.

How could one not make connections with such a prodigy from humble beginnings?

Of course, Zhang Tong also knew that she could only make connections and not provide too much help.

Who could reach the summit without enduring trials and hardships?

Therefore, her self-positioning was very clear—she would be the one to give that extra nudge to help along.

That is, adding flowers to the brocade.

Providing help in the nick of time would be better, but without the opportunity, there was no way to proceed.

Secondly, she knew that binding Su Jie with help right at the crucial moment might prevent him from growing into the realm he was meant to reach.

That might earn her the closeness of a powerful individual, but definitely not one as outstanding as Sun Shisheng or Wang Chao.

So adding flowers to the brocade was quite sufficient.

"Hehe, you really are modest."

As thoughts flashed through Zhang Tong's mind, she patted Su Jie's shoulder and said, "The three brothers from the Feng Family are like jackals and tigers. Having lost face, they won't let it go easily."

"I can keep Jiang Wudao busy with other matters, but Feng Corporation is in the north, and it doesn't have much business interaction with our Hypnosis Hall, so I'm powerless to help," Zhang Tong confessed.

Su Jie shook his head slightly, "The Vice Director has already helped me a lot."

"Calling me Vice Director creates distance; just call me Tong from now on," Zhang Tong said with a giggling smile, vivacious like a blossoming young lady, far from the composure shown earlier.

```

For a moment, Su Jie actually had some difficulty discerning the exact age of the woman before him.

"Alright, tell Tong about how you got tangled up with the three Feng brothers," Zhang Tong's smile at the corner of her mouth gradually subdued, "Tong can help you analyze it."

"It's roughly like this..." Su Jie recounted the cause and the aftermath.

"Your first clash with Feng Yuxuan wasn't in the inner court's test, but in the cafeteria when he invited you, and you refused... The people from the Feng Family have always been narrow-minded, but he probably was just speaking off the cuff. After all, he has invited many people in the inner court, and most have declined; it's not a big deal."

"At that time, Jiang Wudao was also present; probably you were provoked by his words, and after looking up information about Feng Yuxuan, you decided to defeat them in their family recruitment... oh no, in the martial arts competition banquet, to prevent them from troubling you in the future, right?"

Zhang Tong analyzed the situation thoroughly.

"I guess you were duped by what Jiang Wudao said back then."

"When you were about to fight the last match, you saw Jiang Wudao talking with Feng Yuxuan and them. He probably didn't expect you to improve so quickly, so he intended to replace Feng Yuxuan and compete against you, to shatter your spirit."

"Hmm~ perhaps, he also harbored thoughts of subduing the three Feng brothers. After all, at the martial arts competition banquet hosted by the Feng brothers, having the Jiang Corporation's young master participate took control away from the Fengs, almost like a case of the guest taking over the host's role or stealing someone else's nest."

Upon Zhang Tong's guidance, Su Jie also immediately considered this possibility.

It makes sense when thinking about it as Zhang Tong analyzed.

If Feng Yuxuan had really intended to bother him after their initial encounter, there would have been no need to wait until today... He had mistakenly thought all this while that it was because the other party was busy or restricted by Ming Lun's rules.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yuxuan was truly just boasting at that time.

Now that he had fully engaged, he had completely slammed their faces. The feud was definitely established now.

Perhaps he would indeed have endless troubles in the future—

Indeed!

He was still too young!

He understood the principles, but his experience was still too limited.

Previously, he had mostly shuttled between places like the Bird's Nest Arena, Hypnosis Hall, teaching area, inner court, and Primordial Star, never truly entering into a major corporation. He did not know words could have such an effect.

His experience was indeed lacking.

Of course, if Jiang Wudao actually stepped up to fight, it was not certain that he would lose.

In the inner court's tests, he could shatter Jiang Wudao's throat, so naturally, after reaching a vitality of 7, he could also defeat Jiang Wudao, whose vitality was also at 7.

But when facing the Feng Family and Feng Corporation, he could only meet force with force, and repel water with earth.

If the junior has already been beaten, when the senior arrives, he will still fight!

Indeed, from what Su Jie had confirmed through Zhang Tong, Feng Corporation's rise was inevitably accompanied by violence and bloodshed, and this could be inferred from the temperaments of the three Feng brothers: Feng Yuxuan, Feng Qianzang, and Feng Hengyi.

Playing the role of a powerful protagonist in a fictional narrative was not objectionable.

You're just too focused on your cultivation," Zhang Tong hit the nail on the head, "Although you know a lot in theory and perhaps often give preachy advice to others, you don't understand it all yourself."

"I've learned my lesson, Deputy Director," Su Jie expressed his gratitude; had it not been for Zhang Tong's awakening, he probably would still be in the dark.

"What did you call me?" Zhang Tong's eyes slightly chilled.

This version is sourced from MV3L3MPYR.

"Err... Sister Tong," Su Jie immediately corrected himself.

"Hmm, good boy," Zhang Tong immediately beamed with joy o(*^＠^*)o

Right at this moment, Zhang Manman walked out from a corridor nearby, her eyes clear, seemingly twinkling with stars.

"Have you made a breakthrough?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Manman stretched lazily and wriggled her body, saying, "I've entered into Great Meditation. In the following period, as long as I supplement the necessary nutrients each day, there won't be any bottlenecks before my vitality reaches 3."

"Congratulations," Su Jie offered his congratulations.

"I'm far behind you; I don't even know where your limit lies now," Zhang Manman said, her gaze shifted to Zhang Tong, "Deputy Director, you're not taking a fancy to Su Jie, are you?"

"I'm an old maid now; how could I be a match for Su Jie, the young and talented," Zhang Tong laughed lightly, standing up, "You two chat, I have things to do."

After Zhang Tong left with an excuse, Su Jie asked, "Do you have a relationship with Sister Tong?"

"A distant relative," Zhang Manman nodded.

"Why didn't I see you two talking last time?" Su Jie was surprised.

"I only knew she was the Deputy Director after I asked my family about it," Zhang Manman shrugged helplessly ┓(´∀`)┏, "But it's just a link in the family tree, during the holidays, our family hasn't really visited."

"Previously because she founded her own business, and now that she has become the Deputy Director of Ming Lun Hypnosis Hall, the Zhang Group naturally can't reach her level anymore."

Su Jie understood.

Even actual brothers can grow distant after a few years apart, let alone Zhang Tong, who had virtually no contact with the Zhang Family.

Therefore, Su Jie didn't pursue the topic further.

"By the way, are you still going to the Primordial Star later?"

"Yes, did you have another suggestion?" Su Jie asked. After all, he could replenish his energy by breathing in Spiritual Energy on the Primordial Star.

"You really should pay more attention to the news posted on the campus network," Zhang Manman said, "Tonight, instructors Zhao Xinglong and Cao Jingjing from the academy are hosting a Supreme Cup, and both inner and outer court students can participate."

"The Supreme Cup?" Su Jie was baffled.
