Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

One man and one pig looked at each other.

"You can speak human language?" Su Jie stood out of thin air and said indifferently, "It's just mind communication, telepathy. It seems you have already gained wisdom."

On Earth, cats, dogs, dolphins, and killer whales can be considered smart, and some trained apes can even do simple math problems.

But they definitely cannot be said to possess wisdom.

At most, it's all conditioned reflex.

The so-called Beast Tamers use whips and food to domesticate these animals, causing them to develop a conditioned reflex. They know that if they do not work or perform as commanded by the Beast Tamer, they will be whipped and feel pain; they will not get to eat and will feel hunger.

True wisdom comes from imagination.

Without imagination, no matter how powerful the computation or how rigorous the logical thinking, it is not considered true wisdom in living beings, and there is no real spirit.

The fang-toothed Pig King before my eyes can communicate through telepathy, threaten the Xuan Tribe, and knows how to enjoy himself, clearly showing it has its own wisdom.

That is, imagination.

In other words, the brain of this fang-toothed Pig King has developed to the extent that it can support its own thoughts.

"Why can humans fly without wings?" The fang-toothed Pig King's eyes revealed confusion; in its concept, only creatures with wings could roam the sky.

In response to the fang-toothed Pig King's question, Su Jie did not answer; he only raised his hand and pressed down.

A simple action, yet it made the surrounding air condense, causing countless fang-toothed pigs unable to surface from the mire, with the fang-toothed Pig King bearing the brunt, feeling as though a great mountain was pressing down on its body, making it impossible to move an inch.

"Spare me... spare me!"

The fang-toothed pig roared out, its eyes filled with fear.

But to kill a person is to repay a life, which is justifiable by the laws of heaven and earth.

If this fang-toothed Pig King had merely strutted around the Xuan Tribe without causing any casualties, then perhaps Su Jie might have spared its life due to its wisdom, to study it further.

But since it had killed people, it could not be left alive.

Putting a bit more force into his pressing hand, the whole mire seemed to sink ten centimeters, the fang-toothed Pig King's spine snapped suddenly, blood flowed from its seven orifices, and it breathed its last.

Releasing the force, he descended.

Su Jie lifted the fang-toothed Pig King out of the mire and tossed it aside, then pulled the rest of the fang-toothed pigs' bodies out, searching the mire in the hope of finding some treasures.

After all, this fang-toothed Pig King was able to have wisdom, perhaps due to some fortunate occurrence.

Indeed!

Su Jie made a discovery!

He pulled a skeleton from beneath the mire.

Calling it a skeleton, for it was nothing but bones, its clothes long rotted and corroded by the years.

Once taken out, Su Jie could feel a special fluctuation emitting from the skeleton that could induce deep sleep in living creatures.

"No wonder this fang-toothed Pig King was able to have wisdom."

Under the influence of this humanoid skeleton, the fang-toothed Pig King, during deep sleep, continuously strengthened its flesh body, and with the abundance of resources on Primordial Star, truly speaking, even a pig could become immortal.

This skeleton must have been a master in life, thus retaining it even in death, and indirectly leading to the fang-toothed Pig King becoming intelligent, but—

"It is of no use to me."

Su Jie was somewhat regretful. If he had left later the last time, perhaps he would have delighted in the use of the skeleton, but now he deemed it worthless.

Moreover, skeletons in human shape...

Were somewhat creepy.

Ultimately, Su Jie decided to take it back to Ming Lun for research.

Xuan Tribe.

Su Jie returned with the body of the fang-toothed Pig King, saying, "The fang-toothed Pig King has been hunted by me. In its lair, there are other fang-toothed pigs that fainted, which can be used as food storage for the winter."

The fang-toothed pigs destroyed the harvest of the Xuan Tribe, so their bodies would have to be used to repay the debt.

In truth, storing meat food is far more troublesome than grains. It requires not only a dry environment but also frequent checks to prevent the meat from going moldy.

Those who eat meat grow strong; those who eat grains become wise.

If it was a small tribe of only a few dozen people, hunting and gathering life would suffice, but with the tribe's population over fifty, hunting alone was hardly sufficient anymore.

Not to mention, the population of the Xuan Tribe had exceeded four hundred.

The saying "those who eat grains become wise" does not mean that grain-eaters are smarter than meat-eaters; it is a practical science—

Grains and other staple foods can provide the body with energy for longer activities, thus allowing the brain to have more thinking time, leading to the advancement of the whole tribe.

If the Xuan Tribe wanted to develop, agriculture was a must-develop project, otherwise, the tribe would always just be a tribe.

"Thank you, Divine Envoy!"

Wu Xuan bowed in worship, then ordered those with skills in nesting, farming, and medicine to lead the tribe into the jungle to carry back the fangboar.

For a moment, everyone was overjoyed, and even the sorrow of losing tribespeople was obscured.

When the food was brought back to the tribe, the primitive people began to skin and debone, cutting the fangboar meat into long strips with stone knives, seasoning it with a bit of rock salt, and laying it out on rocks under the sun to dry.

Meanwhile, a group gathered firewood, collecting the bodies of the warriors. They cremated them to ashes and then buried them together in caves around the tribe or poured them into the river, tossing them off cliffs.

In the past, the people of the Xuan Tribe would have considered the bodies of their kin as reserves of food, but since Su Jie's arrival, they changed this practice, adopting cremation instead. This соntеnt оriginаtеs frоm М1VLЕМРYR, Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе.

In the simple value system of Wu Xuan and the others, Su Jie's instruction to cremate their dead, turning them to ashes, meant returning to the embrace of the gods, giving back to the earth that had nourished them.

Indeed, under Su Jie's guidance, although they still held primitive beliefs in deities, these had transformed from direct animal totems to natural elements like the earth, mountains, rivers, and so on.

It was foreseeable that, in the distant future, their faith would become closer to nature.

Su Jie nodded in satisfaction.

Three months flew by.

His own arrangements were fairly simple: attend classes, train, exchange knowledge with Zhang Manman, Chen Tian Yuzi, Jos, and others, talk with his parents and sister, chat about family matters, and give reassurances.

Then, it was off to the primitive world for training.

It was odd, really.

During these three months, the Feng Family trio and Jiang Wudao gave Su Jie no troubles.

Jiang Wudao was expanding Jiang Corporation's hypnosis business, in collaboration with Ming Lun's hypnosis hall. On this point, Su Jie owed Chen Zhang Tong a favor. Meanwhile, the Feng Family trio seemed unconcerned with him, but who knew what harsh measures they were plotting in the dark.

"Mom and Dad, I won't come back for winter break... Yeah, at the school, for better training... Mhm, got it, don't worry about me." After hanging up the phone, Su Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Thump thump thump!

The sound of knocking on the dormitory door.

Upon opening, there stood Zhang Manman: "Su Jie, what are your plans for the winter break?"

Su Jie smiled, "I'm planning to spend it on Primordial Star, then return for the last few days of the New Year."

"You really push yourself. Remember to balance work and rest even in training," Zhang Manman cautioned.

"I feel like I have always been balancing the two," Su Jie stated a fact.

"Alright, I can't compare with you; you find joy in it. We need some time to transition, or else we get too tense," Zhang Manman said with a wry smile.

Su Jie said, "It's called winter break, but in fact, most students at the martial school will stay and continue to advance themselves. Only a very few will go home to relax. You're not one of them, are you?"

Working hard was just the beginning after enrolling at Ming Lun! No student would want to waste time!

Zhang Manman, who had fought in the Bird's Nest Arena before enrolling at Ming Lun, surely wouldn't let her guard down and must be going home for even more arduous training, right?

But how could any master invited by the family compare to the excellence of Ming Lun's teachers?

Zhang Manman pursed her lips, "Mainly, my family wants me to meet a potential suitor. You know, freedom in marriage only happens in TV dramas for big families. Plus, I borrowed quite a bit of money from the family to purchase your treasure from the Supreme Cup. I don't have the choice but to obediently follow their arrangements."

Su Jie chuckled, "Then it seems I'm to blame."

Zhang Manman suddenly beamed a smile, "So, do me a favor and come meet my father with me?"

Su Jie looked puzzled.

"What kind of expression is that?" Zhang Manman said, annoyed.

"Nothing. It's just that I thought such a plot twist only happened in novels," Su Jie apologized.

"Fiction is inspired by life," Zhang Manman snorted. "Besides, I'm not asking you to pretend to be my boyfriend, but to help introduce you to some connections and also to intimidate the other members of my family a bit."

Su Jie realized, "So you want me to do the work."

Zhang Manman placed her hands on her hips, "Are you going or not?"

"I'll go. It's good to meet a corporate executive," Su Jie agreed. "But my life's magnetic field is strong. If I go, it might influence your family's people."

Zhang Manman's mouth curled up, "Even better. Let them release their inner shadows and focus on self-improvement and hard work."

"Turns out I'm really going to work," Su Jie muttered.

"Why waste an opportunity?" Zhang Manman giggled. "And my father has always liked training prodigies. In the future, you could have more connections. Most major corporations on the market will show respect to the Zhang Group."

Su Jie glanced at the calendar, "When are you going back?"

"In three days," Zhang Manman replied without hesitation. "Do you have something on?"

"I have an agreement with a tribe on Primordial Star to visit them. A day there is twice as long as on Earth. I was supposed to wait six months on our side, but the tribe came early," Su Jie explained. "But don't worry, three days is plenty of time."

"What's the name of that tribe?" Zhang Manman asked. "I'm also a Divine Envoy on Primordial Star. It could well be my tribe."

"The tribe's name is Form, the form of all things."
