Chapter 1 I Don't Want to Learn Anymore

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

"Ding...ding...ding..."

The ethereal and distant sound of stone chimes rang in my ears.

Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes and saw an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a Taoist robe, sitting on a high platform.

He spoke slowly, his voice solemn: "Exoteric and esoteric Buddhism are perfect, enlightenment and meditation, no birth and no death, full energy and full spirit..."

The old guy is Bodhi Patriarch.

A very natural thought appeared in Sun Wukong's mind.

The scenes of information in his mind told him that he had traveled through time, to the world of Journey to the West, and into the body of Sun Wukong.

Eight years of drifting at sea.

Sweeping the floor for seven years.

Cleaning tables for seven years.

Listened to the sutras for seven years.

It took a full twenty-nine years before Patriarch Bodhi bestowed upon him magical powers.

"Why?"

Returning to his little cave, Sun Wukong looked angry.

Why?

Next, he would cause a big commotion in Heaven, and Tathagata would intervene, causing him to be imprisoned in the Five Finger Mountain for life.

Then Guanyin pretended to be a good person, released Laozi, and protected Tang Monk on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Sun Wukong, who has read Journey to the West no less than ten times, knows very well that Journey to the West is about the open and secret struggles among various forces and powerful beings.

Sun Wukong is just a pawn.

Rumor has it that the Journey to the West seems to be a catastrophe. The Monkey King is the descendant of the four ancient demon apes, and he used the Heaven-Mending Stone to reshape his body, so he must participate in it.

There were different opinions, and for a while, Sun Wukong could not figure out the real purpose of his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures.

But he was very sure that regardless of whether he would obtain the scriptures or not, five hundred years in prison would not be easy to endure.

"I wish I could dress like the Jade Emperor... I'd have a high status and I wouldn't have to go to jail."

Sun Wukong was lying in the cave with a worried look on his face. How could he escape?

I am the Monkey King, not a prison monkey.

"Dang...dang...dang..."

Outside the cave, the sound of rubbing stones could be heard from afar.

"Wukong, the Grandmaster is preaching, let's go quickly."

"Wukong, Wukong."

There was a clattering sound of footsteps outside the cave, and the Taoist children passing by Sun Wukong's cave all spoke out to remind him.

"Yes, I heard that only by becoming stronger can we fight against the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion."

Sun Wukong jumped up, ran out of the cave, and dashed along the mountain road towards the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave.

"Hey, Wukong, why are you running so fast?" the Taoist boy behind him shouted again.

"Don't mind him, he's always been very positive."

"Yes, after more than ten years of joining the sect, Wukong is always the most diligent one, whether sweeping the floor or wiping the table."

"Go, go, follow Goku."

Inside the Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

Under the high platform, there are rows of yellow cushions.

Sun Wukong walked in and sat down on the cushion in the middle, which was closest to Patriarch Bodhi.

"Ding ding ding..."

The bronze chime rang three times.

The fairy-like Bodhi tree floated over.

After sitting down, he glanced at everyone and finally stared at Sun Wukong with a smile in his eyes.

Then a solemn voice slowly sounded.

For a moment, the sky was covered with flowers and golden lotuses emerged from the ground...

Sun Wukong, however, looked confused.

What is this old man doing?
Why don’t I understand a word?

Sun Dasheng can understand it, but I, Sun Wukong, can’t. Could it be because I am a time traveler?

Sitting there all afternoon.

When he returned to the cave, Sun Wukong felt sore in his back and waist and numbness all over his body.

Suddenly, he remembered his previous life, a 996 corporate slave on Earth.

After get off work every day, I also have back pain.

"I'm so tired, go to sleep."

He lay in the straw pile, closed his eyes, and carefully thought about how to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, an idea came to me:
"Yes... Since I must participate in the Journey to the West and fight demons along the way, Patriarch Bodhi will definitely teach me magic."

In that case, what's the point of learning it?

Listen to the teachings? Whoever wants to listen can listen, I won’t listen.

"Humph, as long as I don't have any ability, they won't be able to plot against me, eh..."

Wukong's eyes lit up: "As long as I'm bad enough, I can disgust them even if I can't beat them."

Day two.

Twilight.

The sound of clanging stone chimes echoed throughout Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

After the first chime sounded, the Taoist children stood up and started to sweep the floor and wipe the table.

"Goku, get up and sweep the floor."

"Wukong..."

Outside the cave, the shouts of the Taoist children were heard again.

According to the rules, Sun Wukong no longer needs to sweep the floor or wipe the table.

But he has always been very active and is the first one to get up and sweep the floor every day.

Today, he was nowhere to be seen, and the Taoist children all looked surprised, wondering what was wrong with this monkey again.

While sweeping the floor, he shouted towards his cave.

"Wukong, come out and sweep the floor."

Sweep his grandma's leg, Sun Wukong turned over and continued to sleep:

"996 in my last life, 000 in this life, whoever wants to sweep can do it."

In a short while.

The sound of clang clang clang of stone chimes rang out again.

"Wukong, the Grandmaster is going to preach, hurry up."

"Goku, hurry up."

Outside the cave, the Taoist boy's shouting was heard again.

Sun Wukong walked out of the cave and went down the mountain along the mountain road. The others were more and more surprised:
"Wukong, where are you going?"

"My balls hurt, so I'm going to the back hill to eat two peaches."

"What? It hurts, you...you don't want to listen."

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

Sun Wukong made many detours and finally arrived at the back mountain, where he saw peach trees everywhere, red peaches, and green leaves...

He walked quickly forward, picked a few ripe peaches, and went to the stream to wash them.

After eating, I found a smooth stone, lay down on it, and squinted my eyes, "Comfortable..."

Before we knew it, the sound of clanging stone chimes rang out again.

His stomach started to growl, and Sun Wukong touched his stomach and said, "It's better to lie down and let it rot."

He stood up, stretched his body, and was about to go back to the mountain to eat.

suddenly.

[Ding, it is detected that the host has a heart of lying down, the system of slacking off is officially activated. 】

[This system allows you to get various rewards by lying down, including but not limited to cultivation, magical powers, magic weapons, root bones, etc. 】

[The slogan of this system is, the more you swing, the stronger you become, and the stronger you become, the more you swing. ]

The blurred panel in front of him told Sun Wukong that everything was real.

【Host: Sun Wukong】

【Lifespan: 103】

【Root bone; Ancient Demon Ape】

【Cultivation; None】

[Magic power; none]

【Magic weapon; none】

"Sanwu, worthy of being me!"

Sun Wukong nodded in satisfaction, then stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

With the system in place, it seems that the situation can be turned around.

As long as I become a saint, what’s the point of talking about Journey to the West? Even if old Tathagata comes, I will slap him to death.

"It seems that I have to do it."

[Host detected, lying down for the whole morning, system rewards are being drawn. 】

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained a fifty-year peach. After taking it, your life span will increase by two hundred years.]

"Where are the peaches?"

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, and with a thought, a green peach appeared on his furry palm.

The thought moved again, and then suddenly disappeared.

[Newbie gift packs are being distributed...]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the 'Escape into Chaos' BFF, which has been automatically activated and can be used to a certain extent. ]
