Chapter 741 - 702: It Looks Like a Beetle, But It’s Actually a Pest Control Robot
Miss Lili took the beetle out of the small box. The more she looked at it, the more it resembled a longhorn beetle. She frowned and said to Zhao Rong, "Brother Zhao Rong, I remember when we were children, we all had parasites in our stomachs. Each time we dewormed, we had to eat something called Pagoda Candy. As soon as we ate that candy and went to the toilet, the parasites would be expelled. But the deworming medication you bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart isn’t Pagoda Candy or a Western medicine pill, but a living beetle... Aren’t you just digging your own grave?"
Yu Lan also couldn’t understand why Zhao Rong would buy a living beetle. She found it unbelievable and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, are you really going to toss that in your mouth and swallow it? That thing isn’t deworming medicine..."
Xuelianmei had gone a step further, having already bought adult deworming medicine from an online store. She took out a pill, handed it to him along with a bottle of mineral water, and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, the Pagoda Candy we took as children was too weak. It only worked on small worms and was completely useless against more resilient parasites like the pork tapeworm. So, I went online and bought you a very effective dewormer. Just take this, and I’m sure all the parasites in your body will be killed or calcified..."
However, before Xuelianmei could finish, Zhao Rong took the beetle in his hand. He smiled and explained to the three women, "Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelianmei, there’s something you don’t know. This might look like a living beetle, but it isn’t. It’s actually a small deworming robot."
When the three women heard there was such a thing as a deworming robot, they immediately asked with curiosity, "Brother Zhao Rong, how does it work?"
Zhao Rong explained, "Ordinary deworming medicine kills parasites by destroying their cellular structure after being ingested. This deworming robot, however, releases a chemical substance once it enters the body. It instantly kills every single parasite within a second. So, compared to conventional medicine, this robot is faster, safer, and far more reliable."
Before Zhao Rong could finish his explanation, the group of primitives standing nearby began to wail, already preparing for Brother Zhao Rong’s funeral. Kneeling on the ground before a symbolic grave, their leader lamented with a heavy heart, "We finally found a human youth with unmatched martial arts, someone who could lead us to eliminate the Avatars... We never imagined his body would be overrun by parasites. Such a pitiful death..."
Clearly, the primitive leader was convinced that Zhao Rong was doomed. A young primitive man even took out a pen and paper, wrote a funeral elegy, and recited it to Zhao Rong, "Since ancient times, no man has escaped death. Let your loyal heart shine bright in the annals of history. Rest in peace, Brother Zhao Rong. We will leave the fight against the Avatars to the other members of your team, who will lead us primitives to eradicate them. In this world, no one has ever survived an infestation of these parasites."
An old primitive woman grieved, "Truly, the heavens envy the gifted; young heroes have always met untimely ends. If this heroic young man hadn’t been infected with parasite eggs, he would have surely led us to eliminate those detestable Avatars."
But just as the primitives thought Zhao Rong was about to be eaten hollow by the parasites and die a painful death, the red, acne-like spots on his body began to fade. The deworming robot he had swallowed started working with incredible speed. In less than a second, the robot annihilated all the parasite eggs in his body. Even the small worms that had already hatched were instantly killed.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Rong’s vitality was restored. Just moments before, he had been weak and covered in sores, but now he was suddenly full of energy, his face flushed with health. Every parasite in his body had been eradicated, and his health had completely returned.
When the three women saw that Zhao Rong had recovered, they rushed over excitedly. They embraced him, showering him with kisses and nuzzles as they spoke with adoration, "Brother Zhao Rong, we all thought you were beyond saving! We never imagined you could just buy a deworming robot from the Paradise Shopping Cart and completely heal yourself. It’s a miracle!"
Lili sobbed, "Brother Zhao Rong, I can’t even imagine what I would have done if those parasites had eaten you into an empty shell. If you had died, I would have died too. Only in death could I have accompanied you to the underworld. You’re the most important person in the world to me, Brother Zhao Rong. I can’t accept your death, and I can’t accept being separated from you."
Yu Lan also rushed over to hug him, kissing his face wildly. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she said, "Thank the heavens, you’ve finally survived, Brother Zhao Rong! If you had died, I wouldn’t have wanted to live either. You are the kindest person in the world to me, and I, Yu Lan, am the woman who loves you most in this world."
Xuelianmei, already unbuttoning her clothes, rushed forward and pressed her chest against Zhao Rong’s, saying passionately, "Brother Zhao Rong, you’ve finally survived! If you had died, I would have joined you in death."
Just then, the assistant also ran over, tears of joy streaming down his face. "Brother Zhao Rong, you have no idea how severe your condition was! I truly thought those parasites were about to eat you hollow. I even thought they were going to burst out of you at any moment! I never expected you to turn the tide and survive so quickly."
Listening to them, Zhao Rong comforted them all, "Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelianmei, Assistant, don’t be afraid. Didn’t I just buy a deworming robot from the Paradise Shopping Cart and save my own life? I survived all thanks to this robot."
Once he finished speaking, Zhao Rong suddenly realized that while he had been able to swallow the deworming robot, he had no idea how to get it out of his stomach.
