Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to be afraid. This is my disciple. Although he might look hideous, he possesses great skills. The reason for his changed appearance is merely not to alarm the citizens of the city!" Seeing the startled expressions of the King and his retinue, Jiang Liu spoke up to comfort them.

Hearing Jiang Liu's comforting words, the expressions on the King and his retinue brightened slightly, and they felt somewhat relieved.

"Since that is the case, master, you need not take any action. For my daughter's affair, I would trouble the master!" Realizing that the individuals before him were indeed not ordinary mortals, the King of Treasure Elephant Country came to trust in the capabilities of Jiang Liu and his group much more.

Turning his thoughts around, even if Zhu Bajie was a demon creature, what of it? Using a demon to deal with another demon was indeed a great strategy, wasn't it?

Having witnessed the thirty-six divine transformations of Zhu Bajie, the King of Treasure Elephant Country felt no need to consider other methods.

Hearing the words of the King of Treasure Elephant Country, Jiang Liu also understood that the King had begun to trust in their capabilities. From the way he addressed him, shifting from "Little Monk" to "Master," it was quite evident.

"Please, Your Majesty, formally ask for help! It is essential to follow this protocol!" Moved by a thought, Jiang Liu spoke to the King.

Previously, at the Yellow-Robed Monster's place, he had received a task. So, could formally requesting his help from the King trigger a task as well?

?

Jiang Liu's words made the King pause slightly, not understanding why this was necessary.

But since Jiang Liu had spoken, the King pondered briefly and felt that a formal approach was better. He then nodded and said, "Today, I formally seek your help, hoping that the master can rescue my dear daughter. If successful, I am willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold and countless treasures as thanks to the master!"

Hint: Task "Deep Love for Daughter" triggered, task requirements: successfully rescue Princess Baihua Xiu and return her to the palace of the King of Treasure Elephant Country. Success rewards 280000 Experience Points, awards Perfect Level Treasure Chest*1. Failure deducts 280000 Experience Points. Accept/Reject?

As the King formally asked for help, indeed, a passive task was simultaneously triggered. Seeing the task begin, naturally, Jiang Liu didn't waste words and immediately accepted the task.

"Indeed, this game system has no consciousness of its own and is not humane in the slightest!"

Having accepted this task, Jiang Liu chuckled inwardly, feeling as though the 280,000 Experience Points were simply being handed to him.

If he hadn't already met the Yellow-Robed Monster, then the King formally triggering such a passive task wouldn't have surprised Jiang Liu at all.

However, he had already arranged a meeting with the Yellow-Robed Monster, and if the game system had even a bit of intelligence, it should have known that this task was now extremely easy for him.

Yet unexpectedly, there were still 280,000 Experience Points as a reward.

No matter what, the game system merely operated according to its settings, devoid of any intelligence, which, for Jiang Liu, wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

If he could find a loophole in the system, could he possibly exploit bugs to farm Experience Points?

For instance? If he passed by a city besieged by a powerful demon devouring humans, causing all the city's citizens to tremble with fear,

and if he visited every citizen in the city and had them each formally request his help, could he then accept tens of thousands of tasks at once?

At that time, would killing a single monster complete thousands of tasks simultaneously!?

At this thought, Jiang Liu felt somewhat excited. This could indeed be a loophole in the game system!

Such a tactic? Theoretically, it seemed feasible!

"Master? Master? What are you thinking about?"

As Jiang Liu tested this, having accepted the task from the King, his mind was filled with thoughts. Yet the King, having formally asked for his help, saw him simply standing there lost in thought and, somewhat surprised, asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was just considering how to deal with the demon and rescue Princess Baihua Xiu for the King!" Interrupted by the King, Jiang Liu momentarily set aside his hypothesis to verify later. With a humble and courteous demeanor, he responded to the King.

"Do you have a way, master?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the King looked at him expectantly.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have a plan!" Jiang Liu nodded, displaying a confident demeanor.

"In that case, I will leave everything in the master's hands. If there is anything you need, I will do my utmost to assist!" Seeing Jiang Liu's confident appearance, the King nodded and placed the matter entirely in Jiang Liu's hands.

Having received the King's command and another task, Jiang Liu had no intention of staying in the royal city any longer and left, leading his disciples toward Wanzi Mountain.

The distance of more than a hundred miles, yet Jiang Liu still showed no indication of hurrying. As darkness fell, he took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion and everyone rested together.

However, along the way, Jiang Liu quietly pondered how to complete the two tasks!

Jiang Liu had to complete both the King's mission and the one from the Yellow-Robed Monster.

Actually, Jiang Liu had a rough idea of how to complete the missions, which was nothing more than deceiving the eyes of the heavens.

However, thinking of how Sha Wujing, someone like a spy within his team, was beside him, Jiang Liu felt that it was best not to let him know about this plan to deceive the heavens.

Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome!

After all, who was he trying to deceive? Was it not the Great Jade Emperor?

\\"It seems I better find a way to send Sha Wujing away sooner rather than later!\\" Thinking that Sha Wujing must not know about this mission, Jiang Liu gave it a thought and decided it was best to complete Sha Wujing's mission first.

An 80 million Experience Points reward - if completed, how many levels could he level up?

\\"Bajie, you go to Wanzi Mountain first and say that I wish to take Princess Baihua Xiu to meet the King at the royal palace, hoping he would agree,\\" Jiang Liu turned his head and said to Zhu Bajie after formulating a rough plan.

\\"Ah? Master, you want me to go?\\" Zhu Bajie, languidly, was somewhat reluctant when he heard Jiang Liu's words.

He would rather stay by Jiang Liu's side, where he could not only learn how to pick up girls but also enjoy delicious food.

\\"You better go, and also deliver this letter to the Yellow-Robed Monster, hoping that he frees Princess Baihua Xiu,\\" Jiang Liu said with a glare at Zhu Bajie and then pulled out a letter.

\\"Alright, Master, I understand!\\" Zhu Bajie, having been glared at by Jiang Liu, somewhat helplessly nodded his head, took the letter, and left the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.

\\"Wukong!\\" As Zhu Bajie left, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke and turned to Sun Wukong.

\\"Master, what are your orders!?\\" Hearing Jiang Liu calling him, Sun Wukong asked.

\\"How about we have hot pot mutton today? We haven't used the charcoal copper pot we made last time; please run to the Purple Bamboo Forest and invite Bodhisattva here to try the delicious hot pot mutton,\\" Jiang Liu said to Sun Wukong.

\\"Ah!? Invite Guanyin Bodhisattva here!?\\" Sun Wukong looked at Jiang Liu, stupefied by his words.

Cleary, Jiang Liu's words took Sun Wukong by surprise.

\\"Right, the Journey to the West is personally assigned to me by Bodhisattva, making her my guide. Having taken care of us all along, I think it's appropriate to invite her for a meal as a gesture of gratitude,\\" Jiang Liu nodded and explained to Sun Wukong in a just and reasonable manner.

Despite knowing Jiang Liu for so long and being on the same side, Sun Wukong naturally didn't believe these were the real motivations behind his words.

However, since Master did not wish to speak further, there obviously was some reasoning behind his discretion.

These matters that required excessive thinking? Sun Wukong was not inclined to ponder too much; since Master asked him to invite her, he would simply go.

\\"Alright, understood!\\" Sun Wukong pressed down on the doubts in his heart and nodded in agreement.

\\"Oh yes, if Bodhisattva makes excuses, just tell her Bajie is not home today!\\" Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Liu added.

At that statement, how could Sun Wukong not understand what was happening?

He chuckled, leapt into the sky, and invoked his Somersault Cloud divine skill, transforming into a beam of escape light that instantly vanished into the horizon.

Since they decided on the hot pot mutton, Jiang Liu naturally took out the charcoal copper pot, started some charcoal, and also brought out a whole sheep, letting Sha Wujing blow a breath of cold air to freeze the sheep, after which he thinly sliced the mutton like cicada wings.

While Jiang Liu and his team were making their preparatory activities, on the other side, Sun Wukong used his Somersault Cloud and soon arrived at Mount Luojia in the South Sea, where he met Guanyin.

\\"You monkey, instead of protecting Xuanzang on his Journey to the West for Scriptures, why have you come to my Purple Bamboo Forest?\\" Sitting on the Lotus Platform, Guanyin, elegant and dignified, quietly looked at Sun Wukong and asked.

\\"Hehe, Bodhisattva, along the way, Master has experimented with many delicacies. Recently, he even had someone make a bronze pot, which is incredibly delicious for eating. Thus, Master sent me to invite you,\\" Sun Wukong said with a warm and enthusiastic smile. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

\\"Master said the Journey to the West is guided by you, Bodhisattva, and you have taken great care of him along the way. So, today, having these delicacies, he thought it fitting to invite you over, also as a small token of his gratitude,"

Sun Wukong repeated Jiang Liu's explanation to Guanyin.

\\"Ah...\\" Sun Wukong's words made Guanyin reflect on the hardships she encountered along the way, and she sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, Xuanzang was still sensible, not making all her efforts in vain.

This Journey to the West, with its eighty-one trials, was even harder for herself!
