Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Just as the Avatars within the space fortress were thrown into disarray, Zhao Rong sat on the ground, casually crossing his legs. He was eating a hamburger with his left hand and sipping champagne with his right. With a relaxed expression, he remarked, ”I never would have thought... when I was shopping on Paradise Shopping Cart, I deliberately had the store disguise the Cosmic Black Hole Explosion Bomb as a simple screw. It actually managed to fool these highly advanced and intelligent Avatars.”

It all started when Zhao Rong opened the Paradise Shopping Cart app on his phone, searching for a weapon to defeat the Avatars’ impregnable fortress. A particular item immediately caught his eye: the Cosmic Black Hole Explosion Bomb. However, when he saw that the bomb looked incredibly menacing, instantly advertising itself as a terrifying weapon, he had an idea. He contacted the seller and asked them to disguise the bomb as something utterly unremarkable—preferably a small, old, rusted screw. The seller complied, fashioning the bomb into the requested shape and sending it to him via their express delivery cannon.

Zhao Rong was immensely satisfied with its appearance upon arrival. As he’d hoped, everyone present assumed it was just a screw; not a single person suspected it was a terrifying weapon. This gave him all the confidence he needed. He figured that if this weapon could deceive the clever Lili, the witty Yu Lan, the intelligent Xuelian, his own cunning assistant, and even these large, brutish primitives, then it could certainly fool the Avatars.

Sure enough, his plan had worked. Only then did the people standing around him finally understand the genius behind his actions.

Lili stepped forward, her voice full of admiration. ”Zhao Rong, you’re absolutely brilliant! I couldn’t understand why you would buy a simple screw from the shopping site. I even teased you for trying to show off with it. It turns out you’re far wiser than any of us. You disguised the weapon as a screw just to mislead the Avatars and defeat them with the element of surprise!”

Xuelian was equally impressed by his intellect. ”Zhao Rong, your mind is on another level. It’s a waste for a man like you to be on Earth. You belong on another planet, living among aliens!”

Yu Lan chimed in, praising his resourcefulness. ”Zhao Rong, you always manage to think one step ahead of everyone, dazzling us all at the critical moment. The three of us are truly blessed to be able to follow you; it must be a reward for good deeds in our past lives.”

Even the assistant, who was usually jealous of Zhao Rong and sometimes repaid kindness with treachery, looked at him with newfound respect. ”Zhao Rong,” he began, ”I’ve always been envious that the three beauties revolve around you. I hated them for ignoring me. But today, I finally get it. I see why they follow you. You’re an extremely clever person. It’s not just your IQ; your emotional intelligence is astoundingly high, too. From now on, I won’t put on an act in front of you; I’ll be completely upfront about everything. Because no matter what act I put on or what I try to hide, you can see right through me with a single glance.” Having said his piece, the assistant quietly stepped back.

The surrounding primitives fell to their knees and kowtowed, proclaiming him a god. ”Brother Zhao Rong, you must be a divine messenger sent to save us! Otherwise, how could your intelligence be so astonishing?”

The Chieftain of the primitive tribe even offered his own position to Zhao Rong. ”Brother Zhao Rong, our tribe has a time-honored tradition of choosing the most capable person as our leader. Before I met you, I was the smartest and most formidable person in this tribe. But now I see that you are the most brilliant and capable person in the world. I believe that only with you as our Chieftain can our people live better lives, defeat all our enemies, and prosper for generations to come.”

When Zhao Rong heard the Tribe Chief offer him the position, he immediately refused and explained honestly, ”Tribe Chief, to be honest, I really can’t lead your tribe. I don’t know how to start a fire by drilling wood or how to hunt animals. I certainly can’t wear leaves for clothes, sleep on the wet ground, or eat raw meat. What’s more, if I get sick, I need antibiotics, or I’ll surely die.

”The body of a modern person like me is very different. We grow up eating vegetables sprayed with pesticides and relying on IV drips and antibiotics. In a wild environment like this, our physical constitution is worlds apart from yours. For these reasons, I really cannot be your Chieftain.”

Just as Zhao Rong finished his refusal, everyone suddenly looked up in astonishment. A swarm of rockets had just launched from the Avatar space fortress, clearly on an intercept course with Zhao Rong’s Cosmic Black Hole Explosion Bomb.

A wave of despair washed over the group. ”This is bad!” Lili cried out. ”These Avatars truly possess superior intelligence! They’ve launched an Iron Dome missile system to intercept our bomb!”

”If they stop it,” Yu Lan added, her voice filled with anxiety, ”all our effort will have been for nothing! We won’t be able to destroy their space fortress!”

Xuelian was even more worried about the aftermath. ”And after they intercept it, they’ll surely counterattack! Their revenge will be ruthless!”

Meanwhile, the terrified assistant found a hole and dove inside. ”Zhao Rong! Lili! Yu Lan! Xuelian! Get in here and hide!” he screamed. ”They’re going to stop your weapon, and then they’ll unleash a devastating barrage of missiles on us!”
