Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"I was also eliminated in the first round," Su Jie laughed.

"You were eliminated in the first round too?" Zhang Manman blinked her crystal-like big eyes, seemingly confirming if the Su Jie in front of her was real.

How could Su Jie be eliminated in the first round?

It was simply inconceivable!

"Really?"

"There's no need to lie to you," Su Jie slightly shook his head, "I never lie."

"Who did you choose?" Zhang Manman asked.

"Sun Wukong."

"Uh... Sun Wukong was also eliminated in the first round? Wait, the Sun Wukong you chose isn't the real Sun Wukong, right?" Zhang Manman seemed to realize something, her eyes showing doubt.

"The one from 'Never Would Have Thought,' after all, character-wise, his thought level should be considered one of the higher ones among the many film and novel versions of Sun Wukong," Su Jie felt he was merely picking the taller one from a group of short men, "Unexpectedly, this guy had truly seen through life, but his combat experience was almost zero. Although his movements were agile, his courage and combat skills were lacking, and he was easily overpowered by another Sun Wukong, the King of a Thousand Demons."

"Never Would Have Thought, you dared to choose a comedic figure?" Zhang Manman chuckled, seemingly delighted at Su Jie's setback.

"I won't do that again," Su Jie held his forehead, guessing Zhang Manman would tease him about this for a while.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go."

Zhang Manman headed out of the Minglun Martial School, with Su Jie following closely behind.

Outside the outer campus area, there was a parking lot underground nearby where students could park for free. Su Jie followed Zhang Manman to a van.

"Wuling Hongguang! My ride!" Zhang Manman pointed at the spacious van, proudly stating, "Just like you once said, this vehicle has indeed been modified. Its shell is made of a lighter alloy, strong in endurance, and the glass is bulletproof, very safe."

Beep!

Pulling out the keys, she unlocked it, Zhang Manman pulled open the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and patted the passenger seat with a playful look, "Get in, I'll drive carefully, no speeding."

Su Jie recalled Zhang Manman's maneuvers in the Supreme Cup [Modern Urban] map and hardly believed her words, but he still opened the passenger door, stepped in, and fastened his seat belt.

"Your vitality is already at 49, do you really need to worry about flipping over?" Zhang Manman asked with a mischievous grin.

"Adhering to traffic safety laws is everyone's responsibility," Su Jie responded seriously.

Zhang Manman covered her mouth and also fastened her seatbelt. She started the car, released the handbrake, pressed the clutch, shifted gears, and slowly drove the car out of the parking lot.

The silver-white van drove on the road at a normal speed, not overtaking frequently unless the vehicle ahead was indeed too slow, then accelerating past them.

Reality and game, Zhang Manman still knew the difference.

Moreover, this was Jiangnan City, which could also be called Minglun City. Even if Zhang Manman borrowed a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to speed here.

"Is Zhang Group located within Minglun City?" Su Jie asked.

"Zhang Group is different from Jiang Corporation. The headquarters is overseas, not domestic. The group in Minglun City is just a branch," Zhang Manman's tone was indifferent, "Have you seen me visit the Minglun branch? No, because I'm not familiar with the people there. If I went, they would just flatter me, and there's nothing good to talk about."

Su Jie was surprised, "So, are we going abroad?"

Zhang Manman rolled her eyes, "Wishful thinking, but we might indeed need to make a trip abroad... Also, who told you that home and company are next to each other? Of course, my home isn't around Minglun here."

"Actually, the reason I'm asking you to come is not just for my personal reasons but also hoping you could help probe into a certain foreign corporation. My father suspects they are conducting some illegal experiments."

Su Jie's expression changed slightly, "Shouldn't this be handled by the police?"

Illegal experiments, whether by the international alliance or by Minglun, were strictly prohibited.

Logically, a major corporation like Zhang Group shouldn't get involved. If it were discovered, even just suspected, they should distance themselves to avoid scandal.

Unless, the interests were compelling!

"Do you remember that lizard man we encountered at the Supreme Cup?" Zhang Manman brought up the matter of the lizard man.

"I remember, does it have something to do with him?"

Su Jie became grave; he remembered that lizard man vividly, his degraded vitality like a demon god, every action filled with boundless power, shaking the heavens.

However, he was later dealt with by the higher-ups of Minglun, even obscuring the truth.

"Though Wang Chen, the lizard man, has been arrested and has no chance of coming out, haven't you wondered how he turned into a lizard man?" Zhang Manman lowered her voice, seemingly worried about being overheard.

"Are you talking about a genetic potion?" Su Jie speculated, "Does this relate to that foreign corporation you mentioned?"

"Umbrella Corporation, that's its name," Zhang Manman explained, "Outwardly, it's a biopharmaceutical company, but secretly it conducts various illegal experiments and has connections with major global corporations, making it a complex network, as no one wants it exposed."

"Umbrella?" Su Jie was somewhat familiar with this name, and considering it was a foreign company, the word "Umbrella" was likely a translation.

"You can call it Umbrella if you prefer," Zhang Manman didn't mind, "After all, the Umbrella Corporation doesn't vary much from the villainous company in the 'Biohazard' series."

Su Jie asked, "Do they also have artificial intelligence?"

"Yes!" T.his c@ha!pte@r is p#a%r@t of the [email protected]#ion. on MV*2L#E*M-P*2@Y&R#.

Zhang Manman affirmed decisively.

"To advance their research, they have gathered a large number of talents in electronics, quantum physics, biology, physics, engineering, and mathematics, all with degrees of Ph.D. and above, all focused on their research," she added.

Su Jie fell silent.

He knew, this was the fact.

"It's slowly changing now, isn't it?" Su Jie said.

"That's because of Minglun," Zhang Manman shook her head, "Back to the main point, it's precisely because Umbrella Corporation has so many talents, they can't be caught red-handed so easily. Even if someone reports them, nothing substantial can be found during searches."
