Chapter 291 High Priest

Hunger made Bai Zhi ignore the feelings of others. When the filled bowl was brought to her, she immediately took off her mask and ate happily.

Ziliu, Ziliu...

There were not many customers in the store at this moment, but it was strangely quiet, and she was the only one who could hear the sound of swishing fans.

Gradually, a rustling exclamation sounded:

"The girl has a really good appetite. She must have been starving on the road..."

"Look, the portion is so large and you can still eat elegantly. This is called temperament..."

"Are all mukbangs so involved now?"

Just when everyone was about to withdraw their gazes and comments, they heard the woman call out in an unnatural voice:

"Um... boss, please have another bowl of the same one as before."

After swallowing both large bowls, the fullness level barely reached 46%. Naturally, Bai Zhi, whose true size was unknown, could continue to eat.

But after all, she was too embarrassed to order another portion. Even if she dared to eat it, the boss probably wouldn't dare to cook it... so she paid and left slowly.

…

Under the night,

Bai Zhi dragged his suitcase on the bridge and blew in the not-so-cold river breeze, walking to eat.

On the other hand, he was receiving intelligence information about Gui Yu in the spiritual world.

In the space of nothingness, stars and cobwebs, pieces of A4 paper were manifested by Guiyu's mental power, and presented to Bai Zhi for suspension:

"It turns out that the ruins of the Witch Gu Clan cannot even be entered by themselves. It is located in a secret place in Zuwu City. It seems that the entrance has been sealed for a while... but the specific reason is unknown..."

"The Jiuli Cave Secret Bureau sent people in not long ago, but since the arrival of the divine messenger, Li Yuan moved the transmission port and used holy objects to block the divination of the Secret Bureau, causing the Secret Bureau to completely lose the clues about Jiuli Cave... …”

"... As for the three secret ruins controlled by the Federal Secret Guard Bureau, only one is suspected to have the status of a demigod. The others are even worse than Jiuli Cave Heaven, and they are too cowardly..."

"...'New World' deserves to be the number one extraordinary organization in the world. The quantity and quality of the relics it masters far exceed those of other countries..."

"...They have explored many ruins that are suspected of being demigods. The minimum entry requirement for each one is an S-class extraordinary person. S-class extraordinary people have died every time they explore, but this kind of activity has never stopped. …”

"Looking at it this way, the 'New World' is even crazier than the top leaders of the Federation and the Empire. Isn't it possible to ensure that their extraordinary power remains number one in the world without committing suicide?"

"...Most of their members are 'new humans' who have been genetically edited and mechanically modified. Even extraordinary beings must reach Class B before they can join. Similarly, their latest policy mentions that due to changes in the world situation, Highly fit polluted persons with an ability rating of B are welcome to join..."

In addition to information about the ruins and the "New World",

Guiyu also brought the recent action report of the Star Source Secret Order compiled internally by the Secret Guard Bureau:

"Well, the actions of the Secret Order are still mainly to recruit members. There is no sign of welcoming the arrival of the divine envoy for the time being... But on the other hand, it also shows that the actions related to welcoming the divine envoy may be so hidden that even the Secret Guard Bureau cannot detect it. …”

"Oh? They are quite high-profile on the dark web... They actually introduced that they have five great priests who will hold ceremonies and perform miracles in five different cities in the Federation..."

"These five great priests are -"

"'Priest of Death', 'Priest of Stars', 'Priest of Decay', 'Priest of Nothingness' and 'Priest of Punishment'..."

After Bai Zhi finished reading it with rapt attention, Guiyu paused slightly and said:

"Lord Bai Zhi, someone on the dark web is reciting your honorable name, and it has further spread to the federal network in a short period of time. This has aroused great concern within the bureau..."

"The bureau has not decided to take corresponding measures for the time being... we are still waiting and seeing..."

Bai Zhi said "hmm":

"I leave this to 'Lin' to handle. He will continue to operate within Yong'an City in the near future. If the Secret Guard Bureau plans to take action, you should know what to do."

Hearing this, Guiyu immediately put his hand on his chest and bowed:

"Your will is my will."

…

Yucheng City, North District.

The lights of the city gradually turned on. Bai Zhi touched his stomach, which had no obvious change but felt a little full. He found a real estate agency in the North District and tried to confirm the house he wanted to rent tonight. He would do it tomorrow. Just move in after all the procedures.

She put forward her own requirements to the agent:

"I want to rent a one- or two-bedroom apartment in the North District. The lease term is half a year or one year, and the rent is less than 1,500. Well... the security and environment of the community should be good, and it should not be too far from the commercial street..."

As a third-tier city, Yucheng City, as long as the requirements are not too high, it is more than enough to rent a good house with Bai Zhi... ah no, with Bai Huahua's earning power.

After all, once the jade produced in one day is sold, it can bring nearly four-digit income to Bai Zhi. In one month, if Bai Huahua is not delayed due to sleep, he will have an income of nearly 30,000 yuan.

So Bai Zhi can actually raise her requirements for the house - if she wants to be more luxurious and treat herself better.

But considering that she really didn't have much money left in her hands, her ability to withstand risks was insufficient, and she still had nearly two hundred dependents waiting to be fed, she finally sought stability and put forward moderate demands.

Based on these needs, the agent selected several houses that met the requirements for Bai Zhi on the platform. The latter took a quick look and finally determined two targets for field inspection.

9 o'clock in the evening.

Bai Zhi gritted his teeth, signed the house rental contract, and paid the landlord three months' rent and agency fees.

This made her live frugally, and the money she saved from eating and drinking was only more than 200 yuan.

And tonight, she still had to find a hotel to stay in...

I must hurry to sell the stones in my hand, otherwise it will be a problem to eat tomorrow...I can't run into the mountains to catch poisonous insects to eat like before, right?

At this moment, Lady Bai Zhi felt the embarrassment of life for the first time in a long time.

After booking a hotel room, she did not lie down to rest immediately, but took a taxi to the outskirts of the northern district.

Yucheng City, located in the hinterland of the mountain ridge, is surrounded by mountains, with flat land in between, and is divided by two large rivers. The most abundant thing is hills with an altitude of 400 to 600 meters.

The destination of Shiraori's trip is the largest and highest mountain around Yucheng, called Mud Mountain.

As the name suggests, the mountain is covered with mud and is difficult to walk on. Mudslides often occur during the rainy season.

But the most famous thing about this mountain is the strange insects and monsters in its depths, as well as the tragic stories of many mountaineering enthusiasts and scientific expedition teams who died there.
