Listening to the middle-aged man, Zhao Rong immediately examined his body and asked, "Could it be that, like the old beggar from before, your body has been implanted with some kind of terrifying chip?"

The middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears. "Not only has a chip been implanted in my body," he said, wiping his eyes, "but the chip also contains an artificial intelligence bomb... If I show the slightest disobedience to the masterminds, Hong Ju and Zhou Xiaoer, my body will explode and kill me..."

Hearing that the man really did have a chip in his body, Zhao Rong immediately took out his phone. He opened the Paradise Shopping Cart app and typed in ’Chip Extractor’.

A moment after Zhao Rong completed the purchase, a package fell from the sky. As he opened it, Zhao Rong said to the middle-aged man beside him, "I’m going to use this Chip Extractor to remove the chip from your body now."

When the assistant and the three beauties heard that Zhao Rong had bought a device from the Paradise Shopping Cart capable of removing chips, they waited with eager anticipation, expecting him to pull out some piece of advanced tech.

However, when Zhao Rong finally took the gadget out of the package, the assistant and the three beauties were so shocked they fell to the ground. Staring in disbelief, they stammered, "Brother Zhao Rong, the gadget you bought is clearly just a phone charger! How can you call it a high-tech ’Chip Extractor’?"

Lili even took her phone out of her pocket, plugged the charger Zhao Rong was holding into a nearby power strip, and began to charge her phone. "Brother Zhao Rong, this thing you bought is obviously just a charger, but you insist on calling it a Chip Extractor. I just don’t understand how it’s supposed to remove a chip hidden inside this man’s body."

Yu Lan also pulled her phone from her pocket. She rushed over, set her phone down, and waited for her turn to charge it. "Brother Zhao, even though it’s just a phone charger and not some high-tech gadget, the timing is perfect! My phone just died. I can use your charger to get some juice while I scroll through social media and read the news..."

Xuelian was even more incredulous that the charger Zhao Rong had purchased was the so-called Chip Extractor. She demanded a demonstration, saying, "Brother Zhao Rong, if you claim this charger is a Chip Extractor, then prove it. Show us how it works..."

When the middle-aged man saw that the device Zhao Rong had purchased was just a simple phone charger, he squeezed his eyes shut. "It seems I’m doomed," he said in despair. "Young man, there’s no need to console me. Just let the chip explode inside my body, shatter my organs, and let me die in agony..."

But before the man could finish speaking, Zhao Rong took the phone charger. He plugged one end of the cord directly into the ground and placed the other end against the vein on the middle-aged man’s wrist. Then, he whispered, "Sir, please cooperate. When I tell you to inhale, you inhale. When I tell you to fart, you fart."

"Young man, what are you doing?" the astonished man asked. "I’m at death’s door, and you’re still fooling around?"

Before the man could finish, Zhao Rong began the operation with his Chip Extractor.

At Zhao Rong’s instruction, the middle-aged man—his survival instinct taking over—obeyed the command and began to inhale deeply. As he did, everyone watched in amazement. Something resembling a mobile phone’s SIM card emerged from deep within the man’s flesh. It began to travel just beneath his skin, moving from the area of his heart up to his neck, across his face, down to his shoulder, and along his arm until it finally reached his wrist.

"Hurry up and fart!" Zhao Rong suddenly bellowed.

The middle-aged man clenched and released an incredibly foul fart. The very moment he did, the chip embedded deep in his body shot out from underneath his fingernail, hit the ground, and detonated in a small explosion.

When the assistant and the three beauties saw that Zhao Rong had actually removed the explosive chip from the man’s body with what looked like a phone charger, they were utterly stunned. "Brother Zhao Rong, that’s incredible!" they exclaimed in disbelief. "We never dreamed a phone charger could pull such a complex chip all the way from a man’s heart. It’s a miracle!"

Lili stepped forward, unplugged the charger from the ground, and asked Zhao Rong curiously, "Brother, can you explain the principle behind this? How does plugging one end into the ground and touching the other to his wrist make the chip just pop out like that?"

Zhao Rong smiled and explained to Lili, "It’s quite simple. It actually utilizes the principle of gravity.

"When this charger is plugged into the ground, it connects to a special conductive substance found between the Earth’s mantle and crust. This substance has an extremely strong attraction to artificial intelligence chips.

"So, with one end in the ground and the other on the man’s wrist, the chip is immediately pulled from his heart. It then travels to his fingertip, jumps out from under his nail, and explodes on the ground."

Lili listened to Zhao Rong’s explanation, but she was completely baffled and still couldn’t make sense of it.

Yu Lan stepped forward and picked up the charred fragments of the chip. "What on earth is this chip made of?" she asked curiously. "It’s so incredible—it’s not only intelligent, but it can also explode?"

Zhao Rong smiled and explained to Yu Lan, "The chip is actually made from what we call rare earth elements. It starts out as nothing more than a pile of sand. Then, through a series of complex processing and manufacturing steps, that sand is transformed into a highly precise device like this chip."

Xuelian stepped forward to help the middle-aged man to his feet. "Alright," she told him, "you’re saved now. Since Brother Zhao Rong has rescued you, isn’t it time you repaid the favor by leading us to your bosses, Hong Ju and Zhou Xiaoer?"

Once the man saw the explosive chip had been removed from his body and that he was saved, he immediately dropped to his knees. "Brother, you are my savior!" he said, thanking Zhao Rong profusely. "If you hadn’t removed this chip from my body, I would’ve been blown to bits by now, my organs shattered, and I would have died in agony. Since you saved my life, I must repay your kindness. I will take you to those villains right now—the mastermind Hong Ju and his son, Zhou Xiaoer."

With that, Zhao Rong and his companions followed the man, heading toward their final objective.
