Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Just then, Zhao Rong suddenly felt a sharp, agonizing pain in his stomach. Only a moment ago, he had been full of life and smiling, but now he was clutching his belly and writhing on the deck of the boat. ”Damn it, how could I be so unlucky?” he shouted. ”This is killing me!”

Seeing Zhao Rong rolling around in pain, his assistant asked in confusion, ”Zhao Rong, what’s wrong? If your stomach hurts, you might feel better if you find a place to relieve yourself...”

Lili pulled a box of stomach medicine from her pocket and offered it to him. ”Zhao Rong, it looks like your digestion has stalled. Here, take one of these pills. It should help with the pain...”

Yu Lan produced a painkiller and a bottle of mineral water. ”Zhao Rong, I think you might have been poisoned! Why else would you be in such intense pain? Quickly, take a painkiller. It will at least make you less miserable...”

While Lili had stomach medicine and Yu Lan had painkillers, Xuelian went a step further. She took out a syringe of morphine, ready to give him an injection. ”Zhao Rong, let me give you a shot,” she said. ”Seeing the cold sweat on your forehead, you must be in total agony. Only a dose of morphine will stop the pain long enough for you to figure out an antidote...”

Seeing the concern from his assistant and the three women, Zhao Rong explained awkwardly, ”You don’t understand. When I was eating those instant noodles, I accidentally swallowed the nanobots from the seasoning packet. Right now, my immune system has detected the foreign invaders and is fighting a war against them inside me.”

Hearing that he had ingested nanobots, the assistant and the three women were stunned. The assistant gritted his teeth, his brow furrowed, feeling as if he were itchy all over just thinking about it. ”Zhao Rong, if those nanobots can kill ferocious piranhas, won’t they kill you now that they’re inside your stomach?”

Lili shook her head in disagreement. ”You should never underestimate the human immune system. It’s exceptionally powerful! In my opinion, Zhao Rong’s immune system will definitely destroy those nanobots. So, there’s no need to worry. We just have to wait for him to recover. Then he’ll be back on his feet, leading us forward to keep fighting.”

Yu Lan was not so optimistic. ”Even if the human immune system is strong, it’s hopelessly outmatched against nanobots. It’s like trying to stop a chariot with your bare hands or smash a rock with an egg. I think you should hurry up, take out your phone, open the Paradise Shopping Cart app, and buy something to eliminate the nanobots. It’s the only way you can save yourself.”

Xuelian was furious with the seller. ”These merchants selling nanobots are absolutely despicable! Why couldn’t they ship the nanobot seasoning in a separate package? These shameless crooks put the seasoning and the noodles together and then tell people to eat the noodles after using the nanobots. Aren’t they just setting a trap?”

As if on cue, before Xuelian had even finished speaking, a message popped up from the Paradise Shopping Cart store that had sold Zhao Rong the nanobots. ”Hello, dear! Our store also sells a special probiotic that can suppress and kill nanobots. Would you like to buy some?”

Hearing this, the assistant and the three women were floored. The assistant glanced at Xuelian and gave her a thumbs-up. ”Xuelian, you’re a genius. You guessed right—these unscrupulous merchants really do operate like this. First, they get you to use the nanobots to kill the piranhas, but then you get poisoned by the nanobots. That way, they can sell you their store’s probiotics. It’s forced bundling—utterly detestable!”

Lili said angrily, ”Zhao Rong, that’s it. You need to file a complaint against this store right now and get some compensation!”

Yu Lan was even more proactive. She took out her phone and dialed 114, the directory assistance number, trying to find the customer service line for the Paradise Shopping Cart website. ”Zhao Rong, don’t you worry about those crooks,” she said. ”I’m looking up their number right now. Once I get the customer service hotline for Paradise Shopping Cart, I’ll report that shameless merchant. We’ll get them shut down so they can’t keep selling things on there anymore!”

Xuelian stepped forward and gently wiped the cold sweat from Zhao Rong’s forehead. She helped him pull out his phone, unlocked it, and held it in front of him with the Paradise Shopping Cart app already open. ”Zhao Rong,” she said with concern, ”I think you should buy these probiotics first. Once you’ve taken them, eliminated the nanobots, and eased the pain, then we can figure out how to deal with this unscrupulous seller.”

Before Xuelian could finish, Zhao Rong had already purchased the probiotics. ”Damn it, I have to buy the antidote first,” he said to the others through gritted teeth. ”Otherwise, this pain is going to literally kill me.”

So, Zhao Rong contacted the seller and paid a hefty price for the nanobot-killing probiotics. When his assistant and the three women saw that he had actually bought the product, they couldn’t help but lament, ”This merchant is so shameless. Once Zhao Rong recovers, we have to make sure that seller pays.”

Soon, a package from Paradise Shopping Cart arrived. When Zhao Rong opened it and took out the so-called antidote, his assistant and the three women standing beside him were dumbfounded.

The assistant stared at the box of ordinary-looking yogurt. ”Zhao Rong,” he said incredulously, ”are you sure this stuff is the so-called probiotic that can kill nanobots?”

Lili opened the yogurt, sniffed it, and frowned. ”Zhao Rong, this isn’t a probiotic,” she said firmly. ”This is clearly just a carton of spoiled old yogurt...”

Yu Lan even took out a ”yogurt detector” and tested the sample. She looked up in horror. ”Zhao Rong, you won’t believe this. My test shows that the main ingredients in this yogurt are residue from stinky shoes, old leather belts, and various spoiled leather scraps...”

Just as everyone was staring in disbelief, unable to accept that this foul-smelling yogurt was the antidote that could kill the nanobots in Zhao Rong’s body, Xuelian acted. She stepped forward, decisively poured the entire carton of spoiled yogurt into Zhao Rong’s mouth, and then gave him a bottle of water to wash it down.

After Zhao Rong drank the spoiled yogurt, something miraculous happened.
