Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The family, marriage, and kinship form a whole.

A family has a common root, and its members are the branches and leaves on the tree.

But no matter how towering the tree, it will eventually fall.

The legacy of a family should allow the fruits on the tree to fall to the ground, take root, sprout, and grow into a new tree, becoming a forest over a century, where each tree is an independent entity, not just a leaf on a tree.

And now, Zhang Manman was like a fruit that had fallen from the tree, a seed no longer bound by her family members, truly free to soar high and dive deep.

In the future, when meeting other members of the Zhang family, they might be friends, enemies, or just strangers passing by.

"It feels light without burdens," Zhang Manman stretched and greeted Su Jie cheerfully, seemingly not saddened by the desolation of the Zhang family.

"Your mental realm has improved again." Su Jie's eyes twinkled with a strange light, "I've heard of patricide as enlightenment, but you've gone further, burying the foundation of an entire family."

All enterprises of the Zhang Group were under surveillance, with the main business even being sealed.

For a family, this was akin to cutting off its foundation.

In the future, the people of the Zhang family could only rely on their own strength to strive honestly without the resources of the family.

However, for a student from Ming Lun like Zhang Manman, this was instead freedom from familial constraints, providing vast liberty both physically and mentally.

Zhang Manman craned her neck, her good mood disappearing instantly: "Don't you know how to speak? It was my father's own mistake, and he should face the consequences. Not being sentenced to death, I should be thankful already."

"Moreover, he writes to me every day."

Su Jie tactfully remained silent.

If it had been his father who made the mistake, he probably would have hesitated like Zhang Manman, made a decision, and then undergone a mental transformation.

Zhang Manman didn't dwell on the topic but brought up something else: "Did you know? In the prison where my father is held, there is a master, Ba Liming, said to be quite a character."

"Ba Liming?" Su Jie had not heard this name before.

"My father mentioned he practiced Xiang Xiang Crossing the River, Great Vajra Wheel Fist, Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover, and Dragon Chant Iron Shirt, but he trained in ancient martial arts focused on force, aiming for an invincible body," Zhang Manman sighed, "Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time. Over forty years ago, he was locked up, usually just reads newspapers, unaware of the outside world. By the time he realized, he had already been moved to a more secure prison, with no chance to become Transcendent."

Su Jie understood.

He must be a highly skilled criminal.

Back then, he might have been able to leave if he wanted, staying in prison possibly only due to some compelling reasons.

After all, the martial skills Zhang Manman mentioned made escaping from prison a breeze.

However, living in prison, the only way to access outside information was through the prison guards, who could easily keep him from understanding what was happening outside.

By the time he understood, it was already too late.

Probably even a guard could defeat him.

Perhaps the guard's martial arts might not match his, but the guard's vitality is higher, easily controlling an ancient martial artist still stuck in the old era.

Cultivation, body and mind are interdependent.

In prison, Ba Liming was just surviving, and to expect sufficient resources for cultivation was nothing short of a fool's dream.

"Dragon Chant Iron Shirt, Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover, isn't Vice Principal Li Hansha also trained initially in these styles?" Su Jie recalled seeing this in an official website introduction.

"Isn't that common knowledge?" Zhang Manman said nonchalantly, then suddenly thought of something, "You don't think the vice principal has some connection with Ba Liming, do you?"

"That's impossible!"

If Ba Liming really were Li Hansha's master, then by all means, he should have been released, not kept in prison.

In this world, no one can fool Ming Lun.

Taixu Illusory Realm is the best proof of that.

"It was just a flight of fancy," Su Jie smiled, not caring who Ba Liming really was, "Speaking of which, I checked the martial arts school's official website yesterday and found that the Taixu Illusory Realm has added a new illusionary realm—Lunar Hell."

Zhang Manman was well aware of Ming Lun official releases.

The so-called Lunar Trial was where the vice principal of Ming Lun suppressed a dragon with his punch, extracting its vitality, creating various monsters on each layer; defeating them could enhance one's cultivation.

It's akin to a spiritual empowerment.

However, only with a breakthrough in the mental realm can the body withstand more energy; otherwise, even with spiritual empowerment, the energy would just dissipate, wasted in vain.

This is to prevent students from aiming too high.

For Zhang Manman, the Moon Trial was perfect, but for Su Jie, it was of little use as he was not lacking in energy, but in advancing his spirit.

"This is indeed a good place to enhance vitality," Zhang Manman nodded. "I plan to cultivate there until the New Year. What are your plans?"

Su Jie said, "As before, on Primordial Star, developing the tribe, realizing nature, increasing my mental realm, striving to come one step closer to fetal breath."

"I can't compare! I can't compare!"

Zhang Manman shook her head, envious of Su Jie's talent, but quickly calmed herself and said, "By the way, besides the Moon Purgatory, it seems Ming Lun also announced that the Cultivation World will be opened. Did you hear about it?"

"I know. It must be an extremely powerful world," Su Jie said, a bit eager to try, but then relaxed, "However, to truly open, it will have to wait until next term."

"Therefore, my plan is still to break through to fetal breath as soon as possible."

"Monster!" Zhang Manman scoffed, feeling that having a friend like Su Jie was just to undermine her own confidence, then to temper her spirit.

"Class president! Vice president!"

Chen Tian Yuzi walked up from the small path in the school's garden, seeing Su Jie and Zhang Manman, he quickened his pace and came up to them.

"Yuzi? You haven't gone home yet?" Su Jie thought Chen Tian Yuzi had already gone home.

"My home is in Minglun City, so naturally, I can often come to school," Chen Tian Yuzi said with a grin, his blond hair casually draped over his head, twinkling with a faint fluorescence in the sunlight.

"Your hair is glowing again," Zhang Manman pointed out.

"Sorry, I can't help it when I'm excited; the Angel's Wings are slowly transforming my body." Chen Tian Yuzi said and then released golden wings, the holy energy nearly causing Zhang Manman to lose herself.

"Retract them," Su Jie said. "It's better not to display your Angel's Wings in front of others, besides being ogled at, it can easily make those with weak will instinctively desire, and contribute faith to you."

"I know," Chen Tian Yuzi retracted his Angel's Wings and made a payment to Su Jie's account for this month, then brought up another matter, "Vice president, due to the umbrella incident, the Zhang Group also suffered a great impact. Your situation must be quite difficult, right?"

Zhang Manman shook her head: "It's okay, just have to earn my own spending money now, only able to make about a million a day."

She was a hypnotist, working part-time at the Ming Lun Hypnosis Hall, earning a daily commission of a million, not short of money.

Although while hypnotizing others, Zhang Manman could also watch others' lives, comprehend human nature, thereby enhancing her own mental cultivation, she still preferred other methods over hypnosis.

For instance, combat.

The Moon trial was an excellent venue, allowing her to enhance her combat skills and also reduce the time she needed to accumulate energy.

This text was acquired from M|V|L0EMPYR.

Chen Tian Yuzi said, "A million a day, for us, is like a drop in the bucket. As we reach higher realms, our expenditures only increase; we need more money, even an influence."

"I want to establish a security company, vice president, you can join me there, and president as well."

Zhang Manman was surprised: "A security company? Do you have a plan?"

Chen Tian Yuzi confidently said, "My father was once a mob boss in Japan, so he has some experience."

Zhang Manman was speechless.

Su Jie opened his mouth, not knowing quite what to say.

However, if Chen Tian Yuzi's father had really been a gang member, then he probably understood the security business well enough that it wouldn't be a waste.

Su Jie felt he also needed an influence, so he proposed, "I can have my sister join as well; she is a researcher in artificial intelligence, extremely talented."

Chen Tian Yuzi's smile grew even brighter: "No problem, the more talented people, the better. As for shares, you, the president, hold forty percent, and the vice president and I each hold thirty percent."

"Uh, isn't this your company? Why do I hold more?" Su Jie asked.

"Greater ability, greater responsibility, naturally bigger benefits too, and of course, I will also provide the corresponding shares," Chen Tian Yuzi said nonchalantly. "You are the foundation."

Su Jie understood then; Chen Tian Yuzi had planned to let him join as the boss while she would be just fine as a vice president.

The most important point was—

To make installment payments for the Angel's Wings, they had to earn a substantial amount of money, otherwise, they might not finish paying even in twenty years.

This matter was a thorn in her side.

Without completely paying off, Chen Tian Yuzi's psyche always felt a bit uneasy; she would constantly think about this, causing her mental realm's progress to be very slow.

As the saying goes: debt-free, carefree.

She now had heavy debts, a burdened spirit, slow progress, and had to take some measures, such as: establishing her own company and then inviting Su Jie to be the boss.

"Since it's your kind offer, I can't refuse," Su Jie agreed.

Subsequently, the three discussed the specifics and then briskly went to register the company's name—Wujie Security Co., Ltd.

Wujie, free of calamity and strife.
