Chapter 760 - 721: Bulletproof Duvet Cover
When Zhao Rong opened the package, he took out a small flower.
Standing nearby, the three women and the assistant watched as Zhao Rong faced a thousand poison needles. They were baffled when, instead of buying a large bulletproof vest, he simply purchased a small flower.
They were utterly confused. "Brother Zhao Rong, have you lost your mind?" one of them asked. "How could that little flower possibly protect you from a thousand poison needles?"
Lili examined the flower closely. "Brother Zhao Rong, why did you buy a morning glory from the Paradise Shopping Cart? Can it be used to refine a Resurrection Pill?"
"Brother Zhao Rong, you need to find a place to hide!" Yu Lan urged. "That’s a thousand poison needles we’re talking about!"
Xuelian said worriedly, "Brother Zhao Rong, if you get hit by those needles, you’ll be turned into a human pincushion! You have to find a way to escape!"
The assistant was even more terrified. "A single needle from that magical beast scorpion is fatal! If Brother Zhao Rong gets hit by a thousand of them, not even Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad himself could save him!"
The onlooking crowd was also pessimistic. "This young man is highly skilled in Martial Arts, but there’s no way he can handle a thousand poison needles," one of them murmured.
Just when everyone had lost hope in him, Zhao Rong held the flower, shook it three times, and gave a voice command.
"Little flower, little flower, bloom quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flower bloomed and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the small flower in his hand had transformed into a massive parachute.
Seeing this, the three women and the assistant were even more bewildered. "Brother Zhao Rong, you’re supposed to be dodging a thousand poison needles! What’s the point of buying a parachute? Are you planning on skydiving?"
"Brother Zhao Rong, that flower turning into a parachute would be useful if you were jumping out of a plane," Lili said, looking up at the clouds. "But right now, a thousand poison needles are flying at you! This parachute is useless. Worse, it’ll probably just get in your way as you try to dodge!"
Watching the needles close in on Zhao Rong, Yu Lan panicked. "Brother Zhao Rong, throw that thing away and run! Otherwise, you’re going to die a horrible death!"
Thinking fast, Xuelian grabbed a fire extinguisher from nearby. She sprayed it at the cloud of needles in the air, yelling, "These needles might be toxic, but I’ll use the foam from this fire extinguisher to knock them out of the sky! That way, they can’t hurt Brother Zhao Rong!"
But before they could finish, Zhao Rong pointed to the object in his hands and explained, "Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, you don’t understand. This isn’t a parachute. It’s an oversized bulletproof duvet cover."
"A bulletproof duvet cover?" Lili frowned. "What’s that? You put it on your blanket and you’re bulletproof while you sleep?"
Zhao Rong shook his head. "Miss Lili, it’s like this. Once I open this bulletproof duvet cover, it doesn’t matter if they shoot at me with an AK-47, attack with a TOW anti-tank missile, or even drop an atomic bomb on me. Nothing will get through. Not while I have this."
Hearing this, Yu Lan looked dubiously at the thin, plastic-like sheet in Zhao Rong’s hands. "Brother Zhao Rong, are you sure? The thing you’re holding—this so-called bulletproof duvet cover—it looks so flimsy and thin. Forget bullets, missiles, or atomic bombs... I’d be surprised if it could stop a single poison needle."
Zhao Rong pinched the material between his fingers and smiled. "Yu Lan, you don’t understand. The material may look thin and fragile, but it’s actually a super-strong space-age material. A poison needle can’t pierce it. Heck, you couldn’t blast through this stuff with an atomic bomb and a hydrogen bomb going off at the same time."
The moment Xuelian heard it was made of space-age material, she grabbed a nearby AK-47 and fired a burst at Zhao Rong. "Brother Zhao Rong, I have to test this to make sure it’s safe! For your own good! If we find out this thing is fake in the middle of a fight, it’ll be too late! This is a matter of life and death!"
Just as she said, the bullets were stopped cold by the bulletproof duvet cover. More than that, the cover seemed to absorb all their kinetic energy. The projectiles fluttered to the ground as harmlessly as moths.
When the assistant saw Xuelian test the cover with an AK-47, his own fingers got itchy. He grabbed a TOW anti-tank missile launcher and fired a round straight at Zhao Rong.
When the three women saw the assistant fire a missile at Zhao Rong, they broke out in a cold sweat. "Assistant, are you insane?!" they screamed at him. "You’re using high-tech American weaponry on Brother Zhao Rong! That’s attempted murder!"
But before they could finish yelling, the TOW missile struck the duvet cover. It was as if the missile had hit a wad of cotton. It simply tumbled gently out of the air and landed on the ground, completely inert.
