Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

As they spoke, ten seconds passed, and Zhao Xinglong took out a palm-sized black box and tossed it to Su Jie.

"This is yours by right," he said.

A look of satisfaction filled the bottom of Zhao Xinglong's eyes. "Being able to react under such circumstances is no easy feat."

"At least at your stage, I couldn't do it," he added.

"Therefore, you've succeeded."

"However, though the supplies are given to you, whether you can keep them in this game is another matter," he continued.

Broken holes were repaired, and collapsed buildings were reconstructed; all five returned to the living room.

"Then we will take our leave, Teacher Zhao," Su Jie said.

"Wish you all the best," Zhao Xinglong waved goodbye.

"Oh, Teacher Zhao, there is something I'd like to ask," Su Jie quickly added, having thought of something.

"I'm not one to work overtime, but you're quite to my taste," Zhao Xinglong gestured for Su Jie to ask, "so go ahead."

"For things like the origin of a heart, do you need to dissect the heart first?" Su Jie inquired.

Jos was moved.

This was so he could absorb the origin of a vampire's heart.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Zhao Xinglong understood.

"No need, just cut open any blood vessel at will, even a capillary will do, let the origin get close, and it will liquefy by itself, entering the heart through blood circulation," he explained.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it. Future classes will cover this," Zhao Xinglong raised his hand, indicating they could leave.

The four left the house, and Su Jie handed the black box to Zhang Manman, saying, "Here."

Zhang Manman hesitated but finally accepted it, "Thank you. I'll transfer the money to your account once we're out."

"Nah!" Chen Tian Yuzi suddenly spoke up, her eyes brimming with romantic notions, "The class leader giving a black box with something almost like a diamond to the vice class leader, isn't that a proposal?"

"If it's a proposal, why bother transferring money? Just move in together," she said.

"I remember the school dorms have rooms for married couples," she recounted.

Jos too clapped in agreement: "I wholeheartedly endorse this!"

Zhang Manman glanced at the two jokers and said, "I'm not even near considering marriage yet."

"Besides, marriage is the graveyard of love; it's better to remain friends," she added.

"Su Jie, what do you think?"

Not being able to feign indifference, Su Jie said, "Hmm, you are right."

At Su Jie's evasion, Zhang Manman felt somewhat helpless, but seeing the torn back of his shirt and the dark patch, she asked worriedly, "Are you okay like this?"

Su Jie shook his head: "It's just my back skin got charred... Teacher Zhao is too powerful, a mere casual punch from him left me utterly powerless."

"My thirty-six flying swords stood no chance..."

"But, to be honest, this evolved body feels incredibly real," he admitted.

Su Jie still felt his back tingling.

Zhang Manman chuckled: "Be grateful; if it were anyone else, they couldn't bear this pain and would've turned into a box already — speaking of which, your flying swords, are they still usable?"

"They are,"

Su Jie summoned a flying sword, unharmed.

Since the flying sword is a combination of matter and energy, as long as the energy doesn't disperse, it won't lose its effectiveness.

But that strike did degrade the sword's quality a lot, even its length shortened to two-thirds of the original.

However, it was still usable.

Given some time to nurture, it should be able to regain its original length.

"It's quite shorter," Zhang Manman commented, feeling a bit let down.

"Actually, it's not so bad," Su Jie smiled, "Didn't you notice any other change in my flying sword?"

Blinking, Zhang Manman examined the greenish flying sword, cautiously adding, "Seems greener?"

Su Jie raised an eyebrow, sensing a double entendre from Zhang Manman but decided not to pursue it, explaining, "My Qingping Sword was originally the Blood Carnage Sword, a demonic sword used by cultivators for slaughtering, having absorbed quite a few others' cultivation...

Although after opening the box, much of its demonic nature was removed, and after I merged with it, that remaining bit of murderous intent could be used to temper the spirit, but as long as it still exists, it influences oneself and is difficult to remove."

"It might pose a slight risk in the future..."

"Teacher Zhao's punch, although it shattered my Qingping Sword, it also removed that last bit of demonic nature, now the sword is truly controlled by my will," he explained.

"This is a blessing in disguise!" Jos exclaimed excitedly. Part of a series hosted by My Virtual Library Empire (MV&LEMP&YR).

"Suppose so," Su Jie grinned, filled not only with joy but also pain.

After all, the injury on his back was genuinely painful.

Jos quickly said, "Why don't we go to a nearby pharmacy?"

Chen Tian Yuzi remarked, "Aren't the medicinal items in the game useless now?"

Since they're useless, going there would be in vain, and they might even encounter other players, leading inevitably to a fight.

It would be wiser not to go.

"Let's go to the pharmacy," Su Jie spoke up, "It might be useless for my wounds, but it could be beneficial for you, and the pharmacy should have bandages to wrap me up."

Chen Tian Yuzi apologized, "I wasn't thoughtful enough."

Su Jie shook his head: "No, you were considering everyone."

"It's a good opportunity for me to go to the pharmacy, I can absorb the Crystal Heart," Zhang Manman spoke, "after all, it's not as troublesome as a vampire's heart... Su Jie, if I get eliminated, please ensure my box isn't tampered with or take out the Crystal Heart yourself."

"You have that much faith in me?" Su Jie grinned broadly.

Zhang Manman tossed her hair: "If you can take a hit from Teacher Zhao and not die, I believe you can definitely become the final champion!"
