Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Here, Jos, the thing you lost."

Zhang Manman pulled out the vampire's heart from her pocket and tossed it to Jos.

"Thank you!"

Jos carefully caught it and wanted to put it in his pocket, but feared he might lose it again in the next round.

After some thought, he eventually placed the vampire heart on the conference table.

Zhang Manman stretched, having gone through two rounds of competition for over an hour—but for them, the nightlife hadn't even started.

"Where is Chen Tian Yuzi?"

Su Jie scanned the area and did not spot Chen Tian Yuzi, appearing a bit puzzled.

Had he left early?

"Knock, knock, knock!"

There was a knock at the door.

Jos, who was closest to the door, quickly went to open it.

Standing at the door was indeed Chen Tian Yuzi.

One hand carrying four energy drinks and the other a bag of snacks and fruits.

After placing the drinks, snacks, and fruits on the table, Chen Tian Yuzi smiled, "I went shopping, let's eat together."

"Thank you!"X3

Su Jie and the others weren't shy, each grabbing an energy drink. This соntеnt is prеsеntеd by М4VLЕМРYR.

With one sip, Su Jie sensed the beneficial ingredients within, feeling a faint white light stream mingling, nourishing every cell in his body.

The essence of Moon Spirit!

"You went to quite some expense." Su Jie said.

"It's not expensive." Chen Tian Yuzi, understanding that Su Jie could perceive the special nature of the drink, said, "At the supermarket beneath the library, it costs only $1,100 each."

For the wealthy, a $1,100 drink indeed wasn't expensive.

$1,100 a cup isn't expensive?

Seeing no reaction from Zhang Manman and Jos, Su Jie sighed, acknowledging his vast knowledge but recognizing his unfamiliarity with campus life.

Zhang Manman chuckled and said, "Mainly for a cultivator like you, where the cafeteria is free and life necessities are sufficient, you naturally wouldn't pay attention to such luxuries."

Su Jie remained silent, resolving to engage more with campus life in the future.

The cultivation in the inner courtyard, his own schedule, was still too simplistic; he needed to carve out time to add more tasks to it.

"By the way, class president, how did you defeat that cultivator?" Chen Tian Yuzi began inquiring about what had happened after she and Jos were eliminated.

"It went like this . . . "

Su Jie narrated vividly, while Zhang Manman added from a third-person perspective.

"So that guy was really that powerful!"

Although Chen Tian Yuzi and Jos didn't participate, the vivid description still gave them a thrilling sense.

Fortunately, Su Jie eventually clinched the fruit of victory!

"What about this centipede suit?" Chen Tian Yuzi asked, "It counts as some kind of magical artifact, right? But it's so big, taking it out of the library later will be very troublesome."

Moreover, it couldn't be brought into the game.

After all, entering the game, players first appear in a common hall before moving into the randomly assigned game fantasy map—surely it would be noticed by others.

"Let me try."

Su Jie left his seat, walked over to the centipede suit, and touched it with his hand. Focusing mentally, he soon saw it rapidly shrink, as if it had been doused with water.

"How did you do that?" Zhang Manman was astonished.

"Chen Tian Yuzi made me realize, something this special must surely be some kind of magical artifact, so it should be able to shrink." Su Jie smiled, "As expected, it really did."

Although it could shrink under the guidance of his mind, it could only be reduced to the size of a human head.

But it was already small enough to fit into a bag.

"Su Jie, since you won these centipede suit and invisible cloak in battle, would you sell them to me?" Zhang Manman suddenly got interested, "Including that Soul-Calming Shuttle, all for three billion, how about that?"

"Sure."

Su Jie agreed.

For him, those items were not much use, and he could just as well have given them directly to Zhang Manman.

"Let me make a phone call."

Zhang Manman dialed a number, clearly asking for money from home, "Yes, yes, that's right, transfer three billion to my account."

After hanging up the phone, the smart virtual screen displayed thirty transfer messages, each showing a transfer of one hundred million.

In any bank, each transfer is regulated, and the maximum amount per transaction cannot exceed one hundred million.

Zhang Manman operated thirty times, transferring the money into Su Jie's account, and then packed the centipede suit, Soul-Calming Shuttle, and invisible cloak into her bag, hanging it on the back of the chair.

Following Zhang Manman's lead, Jos and Chen Tian Yuzi also spent money to buy ten spinal cord beads each from Su Jie, and Zhang Manman bought twenty.

Su Jie was left with seventy-eight beads.

"It turns out you guys are the big spenders." Su Jie watched the numbers in his account grow continuously, his expression subtly changing, "If I'd known earlier, I would have swindled you."

No need to resort to boxing, or to serve as a Hypnotist at the Hypnotist's Hall, right?

But, this was just a thought; Su Jie would still go there in the future.

After all, this was also a part of his cultivation at the moment.

"Scam! Just scam away!"

Zhang Manman waved her hand grandly, like a queen sitting on her throne, "As long as you can sell the treasures you get to us, we are more than willing to be 'scammed.'"

While joking, everyone calculated the time, and entered the third round···

···

"Su Jie is really lucky."

Chan Yinsha glanced at Wang Chao.

"Why are you looking at me?" Wang Chao retorted, "I didn't give him any special treatment?"

Ming Lun always advocated fairness.

Although he admired Su Jie, the last "One Pure," he would not help him secretly in any way.

The breathing technique didn't count.

He had passed that to Su Chen, who knew she would pass it on to Su Jie?

Furthermore, after Li Hansha joined the Ming Lun Dojo, he also learned the breathing technique. The fact that the last "One Pure" learned it too was due to fate, not arranging.

"I believe Wang Chao wouldn't do something like that," Tang Zichen said, lowering her gaze, "Su Jie managed to obtain thirty-six sword pellets through his talent, and his unmatched courage."

"Sister Chen is objective," Wang Chao grinned.

"Whatever."

Chan Yinsha tilted her head and continued refining the Fire Dimension···

···

The third round.

Su Jie's four-person squad arrived at a new map—Poison Frontier Jungle.

This was a paradise of poison and gu creatures.

Because of its authenticity, about thirteen people who had just arrived had the misfortune of encountering poisoned plants or poisonous bugs and were directly eliminated.

Why did Su Jie know?

Because the number of surviving participants suddenly dropped by thirteen.

Those who could make it to the third round were definitely no rookies, meaning they wouldn't land in marshes or on sheer cliff faces.

Therefore, the reason they were suddenly eliminated, other than being attacked, had to be the omnipresent poisonous plants, flowers, and insects on this map.

Due to the realism, as long as someone knew the properties of various poisons, they could even harvest them to create poisonous weapons, which might be very effective in combat.

And on this map, the most one could find were antidotes.

The so-called antidotes, in this illusionary world, were universal antidotes; regardless of what poison was involved, as long as one consumed an antidote, it would completely eliminate all negative effects. It was incredibly powerful.

Of course, such items were just a game setting of this illusionary world, not to be taken seriously.

However, Jos, based on experience, still collected a large amount of antidotes.

"Listen to me, this stuff is really useful!"

He confidently pulled out the black pills and assured, "It just tastes awful, very bitter······ I still strongly hope the Supreme Cup can adjust the realism."

Unfortunately, his complaint was completely useless.

For Su Jie, this was another unfamiliar map.

But it didn't matter.

All he needed to do was wait for the circle to close and head towards the center. He just didn't know if there were Cloud-Piercing Arrows here, or if it had places like Ice Fire Island where one could send up light beams to summon "air-drops" of supplies or locations.

Jos said, "This map is special, there are no Cloud-Piercing Arrows, but just like on Ice Fire Island, there are special supply spots, though I'm not sure if creatures from another dimension will appear."

"Go on," said Su Jie.

Su Jie gestured to Jos to continue, especially since Zhang Manman and Chen Tian Yuzi, though they had played this martial fantasy game, had mainly experienced classic maps, and the Poison Frontier Jungle was still new to them.

"This jungle is fraught with dangers and filled with various poisonous bugs and plants, as well as many animals carrying toxins, especially snakes, which are worshiped by the local poison people···"

Jos described the background of the Poison Frontier Jungle.

As for whether there really were poison people······

This kind of illusionary world game didn't have NPCs.

"···So, villages or towns with snake totems each have an altar with a snake statue. As long as you pray in a specific way, the snake statue will spout out a large amount of supplies, just like an 'air-drop,'" Jos explained.

"I guess, in this Supreme Cup elimination round, it's been modified to perhaps allow the arrival of creatures from another dimension······ As for the way to pray, normally when I stand on the altar, a floating handprint appears in front of me, I press it, and my body automatically prays."

"I don't know if it's the same as usual······"

"If it's the same, we need to be careful," continued Jos, "since praying probably takes about ten seconds, during which we can't stop moving. If an enemy happens to sneak up to us then, it's game over."

Su Jie frowned, "Does the prayer require all four of us to go up together?"

Jos nodded, "Yes, that's the setting of this map. According to the background introduction, the poison people living here can only survive by staying united. The prayer also takes this setting."

Chen Tian Yuzi thought of a good idea, "We could fish."

"That would be like asking for volunteers to take the bait," Zhang Manman disagreed, which was too time-consuming compared to quickly clearing out other players and advancing to the next round.

"By the way, do you know if the maps for the other third-round contestants are the same as ours?" Su Jie asked.

"Different."

Jos affirmed, "I was eliminated early in the last round and happened to watch the live broadcasts of other contestants' matches, and found that each round's map was random."

"Live broadcast?"
