Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Next, let me talk about the rules of the championship match!"

Cao Jingjing took over from Zhao Xinglong, stood atop the city tower, and said in a high-spirited voice, "This final match will take place here—"

In that instant, the environment of the Supreme Cup venue transformed from ancient architectures imbued with an antique aura into a modern cityscape, devoid of any inhabitants except for the contestants.

[Championship venue!]

[Modern city!]

"This map represents a modern city, and your method of arrival will no longer involve jumping from the Flying Boat, but rather being randomly teleported to various locations within this city."

Cao Jingjing smiled slightly, "So, if a four-person squad wishes to be teleported to the same location, you'll need to hold hands, otherwise the team might get scattered."

As soon as these words came out, a number of teams were instantly abuzz.

Holding hands?

If it was just a game on a phone screen, they wouldn't mind, but some were too proud to hold someone else's hand.

For instance—

"Uh, cousin..."

Jiang Wuxing looked towards Jiang Wudao with caution.

"Don't expect me to hold your hand," Jiang Wudao's tone was icy. "You're just making up the numbers anyway; perhaps if you're lucky, you'll find me later."

Jiang Wudao's other two teammates were also too proud to hold hands, planning at most to check the map later and then regroup.

Resentment simmered in Jiang Wuxing's eyes.

"Don't show that kind of face; everyone has to stand on their own, don't they?" Jiang Wudao crossed his arms, looking down at Jiang Wuxing, "If you truly want to tread an unbeatable path, this is your chance; otherwise, you won't be any different from before, fit only for playing house."

It took Jiang Wuxing a while to disperse his dissatisfaction and he slowly nodded, "I understand, cousin."

Jiang Wudao gave no response.

On the other hand, Su Jie and his team were already holding hands, without any hesitation.

It's just holding hands—what's the big deal?

"It seems that everyone has their own choices..."

Cao Jingjing surveyed the hundred contestants, capturing everyone's actions.

Some were like Jiang Wudao's team, not holding anyone's hand;

some were like Su Jie's team, where all four were linked together;

most were teams with two or three holding hands, leaving one or two on their own.

Some chose unity, others chose to go alone.

For Cao Jingjing and Zhao Xinglong, unity was one of the most important qualities, far better than those who went alone.

"...Well then, the match begins now!"

"Oh, by the way, during this round of the competition, to obtain special supplies, you need to find me and Zhao Xinglong and earn our approval."

At that command, the figures of Cao Jingjing and Zhao Xinglong disappeared, and the people in the venue were teleported in a flash to various parts of this modern city map.

Because Su Jie and his team were holding hands, they were teleported to the same location, an empty outdoor sports stadium surrounded by rows of seats, with ten basketball courts in the middle.

Jos looked around and suddenly felt this place was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"This is the Jiangnan Southern Sports Arena!"

Chen Tian Yuzi exclaimed, then shook his head, "Though it looks like it, it's not quite right, something's a bit off." TheoriginalsourceisM|V|L5EMPYR.

"It is the Jiangnan Southern Sports Arena," Zhang Manman confirmed. "Only, it must be what it looked like nearly twenty years ago; everything here is rather old."

"No wonder it looked familiar—it really is the Jiangnan Sports Hall," Chen Tian Yuzi exclaimed with surprise, "But was Jiangnan City like this more than a decade ago?"

"I remember now!"

Jos suddenly shouted, "I've seen this scene in a documentary before. Apart from having fewer people, it's exactly the same as here."

"The documentary described it like this—"

"[Every evening, as the sun sets in the west under the yellowish twilight, the residents living here, after having dinner, would come out with their children to play around here, mainly the adults chatting with each other while the kids watch the teenagers play basketball on the playground or the elderly dancing in the square.]"

"[However, occasionally there were uninvited guests, some young delinquents······]"

Zhang Manman interrupted Jos before he could continue, saying, "We don't need to hear the unrelated stories, and we don't want to listen."

"Sorry, watching documentaries as a child made me feel as if I was there. Thinking back on it now, it also feels quite flavorful, endlessly memorable," Jos said while scratching his head and chuckling.

"So, could there be an external campus of Minglun Martial School here as well?" Chen Tian Yuzi asked, concerned about something else, "What was the martial school like, almost twenty years ago?"

Su Jie replied, "At this time, Minglun Martial School probably didn't exist yet."

Zhang Manman nodded in agreement, "Su Jie is right. At this point in time, Minglun Martial School didn't exist yet, only Minglun Martial Hall, and its location was also on the educational district side."

"Then let's go take a look!" Chen Tian Yuzi checked the map and noticed that the final circle just happened to include the Minglun Martial Hall area, albeit being close to the edge of the circle.

"Sounds good, let's check it out."

Having decided, Su Jie led the group toward the Minglun Martial Hall.

However, when they reached an intersection, a car suddenly sped out from the left, heading toward the right, but it seemed to also notice Su Jie and the others, and immediately hit the brakes, performing a sideways drift at the right entrance before turning around.

"They can still drive in this mode?" Jos was somewhat surprised, "Very much like the modern city indeed. Just like PUBG, except without firearms."

Firearms?

"Firearms!" x2

Not just Su Jie, Zhang Manman also realized this.

This is a modern city, and the police station over there definitely has firearms!

Additionally, on the outskirts of Jiangnan City, there was a military training camp that, according to external history, had existed for forty years, and this "modern city" version must have replicated it.

Meanwhile, two players descended from the BMW.

A man and a woman, both dressed very fashionably, with "I love you" and "You love me" written on their clothes, plus two arrows pointing at each other.

Clearly, they were a couple.

And in their hands, they held two crossbows, likely exhibition items from a nearby museum.

"Su Jie, I've long admired your reputation!"

The man gave a slight smile and aimed a crossbow at Su Jie, his index finger instantly pulling the trigger.

The woman did the same.

Snap!

Su Jie clenched his fists and caught the two crossbow arrows, then with great speed, flung them back, hitting both individuals in their shoulders.

"Hmph!"

Before the pair could react, they saw two streaks of blue light flash before their eyes and were promptly eliminated.

Su Jie, retracting his flying swords, snapped his fingers.

"Snap!"

"Now, we have a car."

The group moved forward and searched the couple players for items, only to find besides the two crossbows and a set of couple's clothing, there was nothing else.
