White Bone Evolution Guide

Chapter 100 Foods Beyond One's Understanding

The White Bone Demon packed her things, only needing her ID card and two sets of clothes to change into.

"Why did you hand over the invitation to Yunwu Tea House? Wouldn't it have been better to go and enjoy the yang energy of the tea yourself?"

Tai Sui asked with a mixture of doubt and curiosity, "With your strength, you're probably no weaker than the original Yunhe."

"strength?"

Gu Bai scoffed, "Have you forgotten how you got injured?"

Tai Sui said with lingering fear, "Of course I wouldn't forget, but as long as we stay in the city and blend into the crowd, the humans won't dare to use it, right?"

"Do you know about plagues in human history?" Gu Bai asked in return.

"Let me look for it."

Tai Sui separated a thread and used his phone to search: "The plague is highly contagious and has a high death toll. What's wrong?"

"You should take a closer look at the mortality rate of the infectious plagues."

Gu Bai sighed softly, "If a plague were to appear now, highly contagious and incurable, causing certain death within a month, do you think it could spread?"

"If we had a month, wouldn't it bloom everywhere and wipe out humanity?" Tai Sui said.

"No, this plague will absolutely not spread; it will be nipped in the bud as soon as it appears," Gu Bai said.

Tai Sui pondered for a moment and said, "You are the plague?"

"We are all plagues," Gu Bai said wistfully. "In ancient times, medicine was backward, and terrible plagues occurred in every dynasty. But not only did humans not die out, their numbers continued to increase. Tell me, how should we, as a plague, survive?"

Tai Sui remained silent.

"Are you stupid to gamble your own life on whether humanity will eradicate the plague by using weapons of mass destruction?"

Gu Bai said, "As for Yunhe, just watch. Watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, and in the end... watch his building collapse."

"this……"

"What's so great about being a villain? Do you really think someone like Yunhe could truly dominate a region?"

The White Bone Demon scoffed, "Do you know what human food reserves are? We could go online for years and still not finish eating."

"When the time comes, seal off the city, investigate each one, and then send out symbiotic ghosts to check the people in the city. Let those who are safe go, and leave those who are not."

"Either you leave the city, or you stay inside and wait to be bombed. This Yunhe is brain-dead. Running a pyramid scheme is something that should be done in the open, yet he's doing it so blatantly."

"But you didn't expose yourself. You went to Yunwu Tea House for a few bites, and no one should have noticed," Tai Sui said.

"Why be so greedy? If you're going to coexist with me, just remember one thing: set a goal, and once you've achieved it, stop."

The White Bone Demon said earnestly, "There's a saying among humans: 'Don't earn money beyond what you can understand.' As monsters, we can't eat food beyond what we can understand."

Tai Sui seemed lost in thought, frantically absorbing the White Bone Demon's survival maxims, but still puzzled: "Having a few bites at the Cloud Mist Tea House is within my understanding, isn't it?"

"It's within our understanding, but there are still some things to consider when eating it."

The White Bone Demon said, "The musician sent an invitation to lure the police there. Why should we go and charge into battle when the police are leading the charge? We should just seize the opportunity to make a quick buck. Trying to take everything will only harm us."

"But in the battle of wine pool and meat forest, you can devour everything, which is within your understanding," Tai Sui said.

"We've come full circle. If we eat them all, humanity will surely find out that there is another being, and then I will be the most terrifying plague."

It's fine now. Although there are flaws, I'm dead, and the problems lie with the musicians.

The White Bone Demon patiently taught, "Besides, I like to hoard food."

Tai Sui trembled: "Are they also your granaries?"

"Humans have emergency backup energy systems, so of course I need to have one too. What if we run into some trouble if we eat it all at once?"

The White Bone Demon said, "Don't rush things, take it slow and steady. This kind of reserve food can satisfy your cravings if you take a bite now and then."

Tai Sui: "..."

No wonder you can eat so well; even the most cunning ghosts aren't as cunning as you.

Suddenly, I felt a little fortunate to have coexisted with this guy.

The thought of his true form causing trouble in the new city area, with a White Bone Demon lurking in the shadows, sent chills down his spine.

The White Bone Demon packed her clothes and lay down on the bed.

The Tai Sui collected the mycelium clothing, and the White Bone Demon tossed and turned in her sleep, her bones pricking her.

……

The next morning.

The fishing expert called two cars. Gu Bai and he sat in the back seat, Gu Qingyi drove, and Yang Xi was in the passenger seat.

Gu Bai held a contract, investing in Qingbai Carving Company, with Wang Qing as his partner, holding 10% of the shares.

There was no funding, only one guarantee: annual sales of no less than one thousand wood carvings.

Even the most ordinary wood carving costs ten million!

Gu Bai quickly signed his name: "I'll be relying on President Wang from now on."

"It's a mutually beneficial partnership, and we'll need Mr. Gu's continued support." The fishing expert laughed heartily, "Mr. Gu is young and promising, with a distinguished presence and a handsome appearance. It would be wonderful to cooperate with him..."

"President Wang is also extremely intelligent, uniquely handsome, and possesses an extraordinary temperament..."

"You two stop flattering each other." Yang Xi rolled her eyes. "It's not like it's the first time we've met. Aren't you embarrassed?"

"We just signed the contract, so I have to say a few words," Gu Bai said.

Wang Qing touched his bald head: "I'm an honest person, I don't talk much, I just say a few words from the heart."

"You? You're old, you shouldn't be so honest." Yang Xi didn't mince words.

Wang Qing wasn't angry. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang, and his face darkened: "President Gu, this is the first order. Please help me."

"You unlucky fellow, what happened again?" Gu Bai asked, puzzled.

"I've sent it to you." Wang Qing clicked to forward.

"Let's create a group." Yang Xi quickly created a group and named it: A Loving Family.

Well, I've got a lot of homes.

Gu Bai was too lazy to complain, so he forwarded it to the group. It was a photo of a body with its face blurred, and next to it on the wall was a line of bloody words: Ding Yun, 23 years old, viciously cursed sanitation workers, three o'clock in the morning, fate's judgment: suicide by wrist cutting.

"No way, is this guy crazy? Bodhisattva, Zhenwu the Great, and now another one to be the one in charge of destiny?"

Gu Bai looked at his phone and sighed softly.

What's wrong with my fellow humans? Why do they all like to play the god?

"Is it true?" Yang Xi asked.

Wang Qing said solemnly, "Yes, I have already reported what happened at my hotel to the Public Security Bureau. You will need to inquire about the specific details of the case."

Gu Qingyi, who was driving, said, "Yang Xi, why don't you call and ask?"

"From Wudang Mountain?"

"Yes." Wang Qing nodded heavily: "It's located at the foot of Wudang Mountain, on the thirteenth floor of the Qingyun Hotel."

"Just for cursing a sanitation worker, someone was killed?" Gu Bai frowned. "Was that sanitation worker a relative or friend of the murderer?"

Yang Xi had already dialed the number and waited for half an hour before a call came in.

"Okay, I understand. We'll arrive around noon. Have someone guard the body to prevent it from turning into a zombie. We'll perform an autopsy when we arrive," Yang Xi said.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xi sent the information to the group chat, saying, "According to the information from over there, the time of death was 3:00 AM, exactly on the hour, not a second more or less."

"Wow, that's quite meticulous," Gu Bai exclaimed in surprise, then realized something was amiss: "Wait, are those forensic doctors really that good? They can pinpoint the time of death to the second?"

"No, they found the surveillance footage, and the victim lost three vital signs. They've already shared it in the group chat."
