Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

```

Arriving at the other side of the mountain pass, Zhang Manman followed the sliding trajectory and found Su Jie.

By that time, he had become a bloody figure, to the point where his human shape was nearly indiscernible.

However, he hadn't turned into a box.

That meant he was still alive.

The game world had a principle, which was, out of humanitarianism and to spare players the agony of death, to end a player's game life prematurely, which is to say, to directly eliminate them.

But this standard varied from person to person.

It was calculated based on each individual's threshold for enduring pain.

Those with a low tolerance for pain, like the player they encountered in the first round who accidentally jumped into the swamp, submerged entirely in the swamp and didn't hold his breath for even a second before turning into a box.

Those with a strong capability for endurance were like Su Jie.

Barely holding on, but still able to stay conscious.

Zhang Manman hurried over, took out various medicines, medicinal wines, Nine Flower Jade Dew Elixirs, Great Restoration Elixirs, and the like, and poured them down Su Jie's throat in one go.

Then, a miraculous thing happened.

Su Jie gradually recovered his strength, the wounds on his body disappeared, and he became spirited.

"It really is just a game."

Squeezing his fist, Su Jie felt completely restored, sighed, and looked at the silvery-white box at his feet, "This guy suffered because of this."

Despite how he appeared before, to any onlooker, it was a gamble with his life.

But—

This was a game.

Even though the environment and sensations were incredibly realistic, some settings were still detached from reality.

For instance, he was nearly dead, but after Zhang Manman fed him a few medicines, he bounced back to peak condition.

"Perhaps the creatures from this other world simply can't open the box that players become," Zhang Manman guessed, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been caught off guard by you."

At this point, Zhang Manman paused for a while, looked Zhang Manman up and down, and swallowed, "I must say, you have a good figure."

Su Jie had no response.

After all, he was only wearing a pair of white boxer shorts.

This was another aspect of the game's realistic settings—as physical bodies could be restored with medicine, but clothing could not.

However, to cover up, the game thoughtfully provided undergarments for private parts.

Opening the silvery-white box, there were three items: a set of white ancient clothes, thirty-six silver bullets, and a black disc.

Without a word, Su Jie picked up the suit and put it on.

[Dustproof Robe: Woven from celestial silkworm silk, it repels and removes dust. Note: This robe can help you ward off any dust from the outside world, but that doesn't mean you don't need to bathe.]

This prompt was thoughtful—the human body always secretes various fluids and even excretes impurities before reaching a certain level of evolution.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Zhang Manman's eyes lit up, "If you grew your hair long, you would be even more elegantly handsome."

"I still prefer modern clothing."

Su Jie lifted his sleeves, and spoke slowly, "These clothes are troublesome to wear, and the lower half is too loose, similar to a scholar's robe, which makes it hard to walk."

Hiss!

Su Jie bent down, tore open the loose part of the lower half, and then tied it tightly around his ankles, knees, and thighs.

"This feels much better."

"Such good clothes, and you've torn them up," Zhang Manman said regrettably.

"The most valuable part of the clothes is probably the celestial silkworm silk that can remove dust, not the clothes themselves," Su Jie said as he looked at the remaining two items in the box.

The thirty-six sword pellets and the Soul-Calming Shuttle.

Su Jie took the thirty-six sword pellets and handed the Soul-Calming Shuttle to Zhang Manman.

"Keep it for yourself," Zhang Manman refused, as it was Su Jie who had put a great deal of effort into defeating the enemy, the spoils should belong to him entirely.

"Take it, I won't need it," Su Jie passed the Soul-Calming Shuttle over, "According to what Jos said before, there will be three airdrops here, one every ten minutes."

"I've got the sword pellets, which can enhance my strength, and you can fly with the Soul-Calming Shuttle."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Manman nodded and accepted it, knowing well that her strength was far inferior to Su Jie's. When the other two "airdrops" arrived, she could only look for opportunities on the fringe to interfere.

Refining both the Soul-Calming Shuttle and the Mother-Child Sword was very simple, requiring only a connection with the mind to use, and to wield the power of these two treasures.

Especially the thirty-six Blood Carnage Mother-Child Swords, which could transform into sword pellets and be nurtured within the body.

These thirty-six swords, somewhere between matter and energy, had clearly been nurtured by the cultivator before for a long time, and now Su Jie was reaping the benefits.

As soon as the thirty-six Blood Carnage Mother-Child Swords entered his body, they automatically hid within various organs, pulsating in a specific way and even altering the structure of Su Jie's evolved spiritual flesh.

This was a more advanced method of evolution!

But Su Jie didn't want his physical body to evolve with the Blood Carnage Sword; he wanted to have full control over it.

So, using his powerful spirit, he connected with the Blood Carnage Swords, stopping their rhythmic pulsations and making them pulse with his thoughts.

This was possible because the Blood Carnage Sword had all traces of its previous owner erased; otherwise, attempting this with only a 7 vitality would have been seeking his own demise.

"Huh—"

Su Jie opened his eyes and could clearly sense the thirty-six green sword pellets inside his body, a faint smile on his lips: "The refinement was successful, and the sword pellets are merging with my spirit, altering it..."

"The name Blood Carnage Sword carries too much of a killing aura, it needs to be changed, let's call it—"

```

"Qingping Sword."

After acquiring the Qingping Sword, Su Jie felt that, even though his own life force was at 7, he could kill those with a life force of 10, such as Jiang Wudao and Feng Yuxuan. First published on M|V|L!EMPYR.

However, the thought made Su Jie's expression darken slightly.

If the Supreme Cup was held in previous years as well, did that mean that Jiang Wudao and others had obtained similar magical artifacts already?

Cooling his thoughts, he considered carefully.

Su Jie mused internally, "There are definitely similar ones, it's just a question of how many."

Of this, Su Jie was unaware.

In the friendly bouts, even if the three brothers of the Feng Family had magical artifacts, they couldn't have used them; there weren't even rumors about magical artifacts concerning them in the outside world.

It was likely that everyone was hiding their treasures carefully.

The reason was simple.

After all, magical artifacts had specific effects and could only achieve their greatest effect by catching an opponent off guard.

However, artifacts like flying swords probably had no drawbacks, so displaying them wouldn't matter.

But throughout these years, he had not heard any news about flying swords either.

Clearly, flying swords were also extremely valuable! They couldn't be revealed lightly except in dire need.

"Su Jie, how did you survive that attack?"

The sword light from that youth just now was like a missile bombardment; even the terrain of Ice Fire Mountain collapsed a huge chunk, she even felt Su Jie had already become a box.

Yet, not only did Su Jie survive, but he also killed a cultivator.

"The reason he used that tactic on me was that I had hypnotized him once before. Although he regained consciousness due to the Soul-Calming Shuttle, his mind was still disturbed by me," Su Jie said as he rose from his cross-legged sitting position and stretched his body. "And after the first time, naturally, there would be a second time."

While dodging the flying swords, he wasn't just evading; he was also performing various body movements to give the cultivator the illusion that defeating him quickly would be an impossible task.

Therefore, that cultivator became agitated.

Under agitation, with just a bit of provocation, one could let it explode.

Sure enough, the cultivator's fuse was lit.

No matter what, that guy's life force was only at 3, and although his flying swords were a bit more ferocious, considering that "when they had just arrived at the cave entrance and had tentatively shot an arrow, the cultivator released a sword light that could shoot a thousand meters," it could be deduced that the cultivator was rather impulsive.

And that strike must have consumed a huge amount of the cultivator's physical strength and energy.

Otherwise, in the subsequent fight, he wouldn't have just used thirty-six flying swords against his enemies until he was surreptitiously hypnotized by Su Jie and then decided to catch the leader first, attempting to kill Su Jie by using most of his strength.

Since that strike was instigated by Su Jie, it naturally wouldn't really aim at him.

He had slightly twisted the light by a bit, creating an illusion akin to an invisibility cloak through his mind's connection to energy, which deceived the opponent.

Thus, the explosion did not hit Su Jie.

Even so, he was closest to the explosion; the effects that reached him were far more serious than for Zhang Manman, who had already taken cover a distance away.

It was a gamble.

If he lost the bet, it was total defeat!

Fortunately, he won the gamble.

Zhang Manman was shocked to her core, as she hadn't witnessed it herself, but she could imagine the precariousness of Su Jie's plan.

A single misstep would have truly turned him into a box.

Rustle, rustle!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from afar.

Other players were approaching.

They had followed the sound and found their way here.

After all, such a commotion, and with Ice Fire Mountain being the center of Ice Fire Island, a creature could see the massive cleft.

"Was that battle too brutal?"

"Could it have been a fight between those with a life force of 3 or above?"

"This is too fantastical."

The other players swarmed over, following the tracks, some found the gap and encountering different teams there naturally fought against each other.

While others, of course, found Su Jie and his party.

Seeing that it was Su Jie, they very tacitly banded together, forming an illegal alliance.

"Heh heh, it seems we've become easy targets," said Zhang Manman, unbothered, with one hand on her hip and the Soul-Calming Shuttle in the other, resembling a shield.

"Don't interfere; leave these dozen or so people to me, how about that?"

"As you wish."

Zhang Manman instantly threw the shield, striking a player and instantly bisecting him, turning him into a box.

"What kind of weapon is this?!"

"Could it be supply drop items?"

"No, I've played the Ice Fire Island mode before, and there isn't such an item."

"I know, it's special supplies! In the Supreme Cup, supplies summoned via airdrop are various creatures. Defeating them is the only way to obtain them."

"I didn't see airdrops in my last game..."
