Chapter 86 Growing Bigger and Stronger, Creating New Glory
Chapter 86 Growing Bigger and Stronger, Creating New Glory
At Gu Bai's home.
For the first time in history, I started cooking, and a huge turtle was stewed in the pot.
The pot is a bit too small to hold everything in; I have to use two tongs to hold it down.
Gu Bai looked at his account balance and smiled again, unable to hold back.
A Taoist temple's account, damn it, ten yuan and fifty cents.
Who can I complain to about this?
The old turtle was tough; he didn't spit out a single drop of his yang energy.
"I earn some money from your police station, but it all goes to your police station." Gu Bai said with a sigh, "I can't afford to go anymore. You guys just take Old Wang's leftovers, and I'll just tag along for a bite."
The three ghosts shouted in unison, "Don't sweep!"
Yang Xi said quietly, "We still need to investigate further; we haven't found the mastermind behind this yet."
Gu Qingyi wholeheartedly agreed: "That makes sense, we still need to lie down."
Gu Bai sprawled on the recliner: "Then you pay me, I have no money."
He still has over a million in his account, but at this rate of spending, he'll go bankrupt in no time.
He'd rather go to Old Wang's public bathhouse and then go back to haul pigs; at least he could make a steady living.
We've been through tough times before, we can just eat less.
"I have a way," Old Wangba said hurriedly. "Sell statues of the True Martial Emperor, the kind that have been blessed. Zhang Qingguan sells one for at least 100,000. If we sell a few more, we'll have money."
Yanran's eyes lit up: "You're having Zhang Qingguan perform the consecration?"
"He doesn't have time; he's busy with the Xuanwu wood carving right now."
"Then what the hell are you talking about?"
"Eighth Master, I can also perform consecration rituals. Just say it was performed by Zhang Qingguan."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's somewhat unethical."
The old bastard said matter-of-factly, "What's wrong with it? What Zhang Qingguan owns is mine, and what's mine is still mine."
Gu Bai pondered, "I should still tell him that you have no money, but I don't believe Zhang Qingguan has no money."
He wanted to make money by using Zhang Qingguan's name, to make money legitimately.
"Sure, sure, let Eighth Master go first, and Eighth Master can just make a phone call to him," Old Wangba said.
The two ghosts then released him and handed him the phone.
Old Wangba dialed the number: "You little bastard, I'm broke. Transfer a few million to me to spend."
Zhang Qingguan: "Even I, the Taoist priest, am broke; the Xuanwu wood carvings have all been spent."
Old turtle: "Isn't the police station paying for it?"
Zhang Qingguan: "The Taoist priest paid for it first. The Public Security Bureau's funding is still being applied for and hasn't been approved yet. What do you need the money for?"
Old Turtle: "I wanted to get a new car, and I just crashed into yours."
Zhang Qingguan: "Damn, can't you drive a little better? How many times have you crashed already? Figure it out yourself. Sell a few blessed statues of deities. Didn't you investigate that woman who released animals before? She believes in this, so sell them to her."
Gu Bai: "..."
That's a good idea.
Old turtle: "Alright, you consecrate it, I'll take it."
Zhang Qingguan: "Don't touch me, I'm busy, you do it yourself."
Snapped
After hanging up the phone, Old Turtle raised his head slightly: "Back in the mountains, the things that little bastard sold were all blessed by me, Eighth Master."
Yanran: "Then let's register a company and start working."
"Leave the company matters to me, you can handle the statues," Yang Xi said.
Gu Qingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Should I go buy a car?"
"Buy a car my ass, the car wasn't even in a real accident," Old Wangba muttered.
Gu Bai: "I'm in charge of collecting the money?"
"Alright, that's the arrangement. Meeting adjourned." Yang Xi made the final decision.
After seeing them off, the White Bone Demon was overjoyed.
I thought it was hopeless, but it turned out to be so easy.
With the reputation of being a deity from Wudang Mountain, why worry about not making money in the future?
I, the White Bone Demon, have seized this opportunity!
"The vitality is indeed more vigorous now. Hmm, a friend request from a fishing expert..."
……
Three days later.
The White Bone Demon looked at the notification message: One million!
Gu Qingyi: "Did you receive the money?"
Gu Bai: "Received, one million. Is that girl who released the animals really that rich?"
Gu Qingyi: "If she didn't have money, how could she keep releasing animals? She's made quite a bit of money through live streaming."
Gu Bai: "How did you manage to believe me so easily?"
Gu Qingyi: "You can't usually pinpoint a mental illness, but you can pinpoint this one perfectly every time. We are now a legitimate company under Wudang Mountain, and with the influence of the Bodhisattva, she has no doubt about it."
Gu Bai: "Impressive. May I ask what the company name is?"
Gu Qingyi: "Qingbai Carving Co., Ltd., she is the legal representative, but you are the one collecting the money."
Gu Bai: "..."
Well done, as expected of the police. They arrested her when something happened, and it has nothing to do with me, the White Bone Demon.
Gu Qingyi: "This million is enough for us to squander. We'll worry about how to spend it all."
The White Bone Demon grew anxious: "No, we have to keep selling! Have you forgotten about the little pig jade pendant?"
Just one job?
How can that be? I already have a White Bone Demon Company, I have to make it bigger and stronger.
The business is already thriving, and now it's costing a lot of money. The "white-collar demon" also wants to advance and become a real big boss.
Gu Qingyi: "What does this have to do with the little pig jade pendant?"
The White Bone Demon quickly replied, "There's a trick behind this jade pendant too. We sell legitimate statues, not jade pendants. Why should a trick make money and harm people? We need to steal their business. If they lose business, won't they be eager to jump out? Besides, Zhang Yijun is also involved in this kind of thing."
Foolish fellow beings, now the White Bone Demon stands on the side of truth!
Is there a more reliable source of food than letting the police make money for the White Bone Demon to buy food?
Gu Qingyi: "That makes sense. I'll convince them."
White Bone Demon: "Moreover, Zhang Yijun has problems. We are doing this to investigate Zhang Yijun, to change our approach and create a competitor for her. Maybe that will expose her flaws. We are doing this for social peace and world stability. We must grow bigger and stronger."
Gu Qingyi: "That makes sense."
A moment later, in the group chat of the loving family.
Yanran: "To grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories."
Bodhisattva: "Make it bigger and stronger, and create new glories."
Old turtle: "For social peace... +1."
Very good. Now that they have an excuse to deal with Zhang Qingguan, the Three Eccentrics will certainly not give up their ways of making money.
They are not doing this for money, not just for a meal, but for society, for the world!
A strong sense of social responsibility.
Even the White Bone Demon was somewhat impressed with herself, having actually led three foolish fellow beings onto the right path.
Afterwards, I'll ask for a few more banners, and write "The Strange and Bizarre Mentor."
It was past midnight.
Gu Bai arrived at the entrance of the residential area, where San Gui and Gu Qingyi had been waiting for a long time. They now called this a company team building activity.
Get on the bus and depart.
"Um?"
When Gu Bai arrived at Old Wang's place again, still downstairs, he frowned.
Sure enough, here it comes: the eerie medium of the zither music, and the medium of the shadow ghosts. He really misses that taste.
What a gathering of people!
Indeed, how could they not want a share of such a valuable place?
The Three Evils also sensed it.
Yanran lit a cigarette: "This is interesting. Looks like I can eat a lot tonight."
The Bodhisattva asked, "Shall we eat together?"
Old turtle: "I never thought there would be such a good thing. Following you guys, it's like finding food everywhere."
Gu Bai feigned ignorance: "What's wrong with you guys?"
"There are similar mediums inside, and it's like a late-night snack being delivered to your door. There's no reason not to eat it," Yanran said.
"That's right, you have to eat them all," said the Bodhisattva.
Gu Bai sighed softly, "If we eat it all, will this place still be safe?"
Why are you still so stupid? Don't you know that slow and steady wins the race?
Yanran frowned: "But we can't just keep them, can we?"
"If we don't keep them, how will we find their true forms?" Gu Bai rolled his eyes. "How could a mere medium detect your tampering?"
"Right, eating a medium is nothing, the main thing is the body itself. How about we install surveillance cameras on them?"
"Gu Bai is the best at this. Let's do it this way and go together to install a medium on them."
White Bone Demon: "..."
I'll go and press one too.
