Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Zhao Rong nodded and said to Xuelian, ”This villain, Zhou Xiaoer, can’t just copy every magical treasure we have—he can also copy our abilities.”

Hearing this, the assistant was completely stunned. In disbelief, he stammered, ”Zhao Rong, don’t tell me this villain Zhou Xiaoer can copy our mobile app, the Paradise Shopping Cart?”

Miss Lili said in terror, ”If he can copy the Paradise Shopping Cart, doesn’t that mean he can buy all sorts of advanced weapons, black-tech gadgets, and other incredible items just like we can?”

Yu Lan said, her voice laced with fear, ”Zhao Rong, the Paradise Shopping Cart is your ultimate weapon! If he’s copied that too, doesn’t that mean you’ve met your ultimate opponent?”

Xuelian suggested, ”Zhao Rong, I think you should eliminate him right now. We need to nip this in the bud before it spirals out of control.”

Before the three women could finish, Zhou Xiaoer, who was standing opposite them, pulled a phone from his pocket. He opened the Paradise Shopping Cart app and addressed Zhao Rong’s group. ”This Paradise Shopping Cart app... not bad at all,” he sneered. ”If gods can shop in here, and you can shop in here... then why can’t I, Zhou Xiaoer, do the same?”

With that, Zhou Xiaoer bought a weapon called the ’Human Annihilator’ from the Paradise Shopping Cart.

When Zhao Rong saw that Zhou Xiaoer had already copied their app and was starting to shop, he exclaimed in shock, ”Damn it, his copying speed is insane! We didn’t even have time to react, and he’s already one step ahead of us, buying things in the Paradise Shopping Cart!”

Before Zhao Rong could finish his sentence, a package plummeted from the sky, landing squarely in Zhou Xiaoer’s arms.

Zhou Xiaoer laughed wildly at Zhao Rong’s group as he tore open the package. ”All this time, you’ve relied on buying mysterious weapons from the Paradise Shopping Cart to fight me and the Hong Ju Group. Well, now it’s time to give you a taste of your own medicine! I’ll buy a superweapon from the Paradise Shopping Cart and kill all five of you!”

When Zhao Rong and his companions saw that Zhou Xiaoer already had his package, they were all dumbfounded.

The assistant’s eyes widened in disbelief. ”No way! How is he so fast? We haven’t even had time to buy a weapon to deal with him, and he’s already bought one to kill us!”

Miss Lili gasped, her face pale. ”Damn, it looks like we’ve really met our match this time.”

Yu Lan urged him in a panic, ”Zhao Rong, you have to think of something! We can’t just sit here and wait for him to pull some top-secret weapon out of that package and kill us good guys, can we?”

Xuelian whipped out two canisters of pepper spray. ”A villain is always a villain, and villains never die a good death!” she shouted, aiming at him. ”Before you can use a weapon on us, I’ll blind you with this and take you out of the fight!”

However, before she could even press the nozzle, Zhou Xiaoer pulled an enormous shoulder-fired rocket launcher from the package.

As he hefted the weapon, he grinned at Zhao Rong’s group. ”This Paradise Shopping Cart is truly amazing! I was just thinking I’d buy some ultimate weapon to deal with you humans, so I just randomly clicked ’purchase.’ I never expected the seller to send me a shoulder-fired rocket launcher! Now, I’m going to use this rocket to blow all five of you to smithereens and send you to Western Heaven!”

When the assistant and the three women saw Zhou Xiaoer aiming the massive rocket launcher at them, their faces went white with terror. ”Zhao Rong, what do we do? Think of something, quick! If that thing hits us, we’ll be blown to ashes!”

The assistant grabbed a large wooden plank and held it up in front of them. ”Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, get behind me! I’ll use this board to block Zhou Xiaoer’s rocket!”

Miss Lili went a step further, hoisting a manhole cover from a nearby sewer. She held it like a shield in front of Zhao Rong and yelled, ”I refuse to believe this 20-centimeter-thick steel manhole cover can’t stop your rocket! Go on, Zhou Xiaoer, shoot me if you’ve got the guts! Let’s see which is stronger, your rocket or my sewer lid!”

Yu Lan, meanwhile, had dragged over a dozen sacks of sand from nearby, piling them up to create a makeshift bunker. ”Sandbags might look soft,” she explained, ”but they’re excellent for stopping bullets and rockets. They dissipate the impact force. As long as we hide behind these, we’ll be safe!”

Seeing everyone getting prepared, Xuelian folded her Soul Umbrella, spotted a hole in the ground, and called out to Zhao Rong, ”Zhao Rong, over here! The two of us can hide in this hole! Even if he fires a rocket, it can’t hit us if we’re underground!”

While the assistant and the three women scrambled for cover, Zhao Rong simply stood his ground, facing Zhou Xiaoer’s rocket launcher head-on.

He laughed loudly. ”Zhou Xiaoer, I know your rocket launcher is powerful. So go on, do your worst. Hit me with it!”

When the three women and the assistant heard Zhao Rong dare Zhou Xiaoer to shoot him, the women immediately rushed forward to shield him. They shouted at Zhou Xiaoer, ”If you’re going to shoot someone, shoot one of us! Don’t you dare touch Zhao Rong! He’s the most important person on our team! As for us small fry, you can blast us all you want!”

The assistant stepped forward, baring his chest. Facing Zhou Xiaoer, he declared with righteous indignation, ”Zhou Xiaoer, I’m the most expendable member of this team. Keeping me around is pointless anyway. If you want to shoot someone, shoot me! My death won’t affect the team at all!”
