Seeing Zhao Rong pull out a pack of Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles from his pocket, the assistant stepped forward and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Zhao Rong, I asked you to deal with the thousands of piranhas in the river. Why on earth are you pulling out a pack of instant noodles? And a pack of Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles at that—they’ve been discontinued for ages!"

Miss Lili looked at the Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles, licking her lips as she recalled the flavor from her childhood. "Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles," she murmured, "double noodles, tasty, large portions, so satisfying, so good..."

The beautiful Yu Lan glanced at the ferocious piranhas in the dark river, then scurried nervously to the middle of the boat. She said to Zhao Rong, "Big Brother, are you really going to use this one pack of instant noodles to deal with thousands of piranhas?"

The beautiful Xuelian offered a guess. "Brother Zhao Rong," she said, "did you also buy this pack of instant noodles from the Paradise Shopping Cart? Is it specially designed to deal with piranhas?"

Seeing the confused looks on his assistant and the three women, Zhao Rong smiled as he opened the noodle package and took out the seasoning packet. "This pack of instant noodles," he explained, "was a free gift from the shop when I purchased Cupid’s Arrow from the Paradise Shopping Cart."

The assistant, completely lost, asked, "Isn’t that ridiculous? Selling Cupid’s Arrow and giving away instant noodles? What kind of marketing is that? I just don’t get it."

Zhao Rong chuckled and explained, "Remember how I bought Cupid’s Arrow to deal with the killer fish? Well, the method involved using piranhas to eat the killer fish. If the piranhas ate the killer fish, that meant we’d still have to deal with all the remaining piranhas. So, the shop gave me this pack of instant noodles."

After listening for a while, the assistant was still utterly baffled. "But, Brother Zhao Rong, you’ve been talking this whole time and still haven’t told me what’s so special about these noodles. How can they kill thousands of piranhas?"

Miss Lili was intrigued by the seasoning packet in Zhao Rong’s hand. She examined it carefully before asking, "Brother Zhao Rong, I get it now! You’re going to use this seasoning packet from the noodles to kill the piranhas, right?"

Seeing that Lili had figured out the gist of it, Zhao Rong tore open the seasoning packet and poured its contents into the dark river. "You’re a clever one, Miss Lili," he said. "The shop gave us this pack of Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles with the idea that we’d eat the noodles and then use this seasoning to kill the thousands of piranhas in the river."

The assistant scratched the back of his head, frowning at the seasoning packet in Zhao Rong’s hand. He said with a flash of insight, "Brother Zhao Rong, is that seasoning in your hand poisonous? Will sprinkling it in the water poison all those thousands of piranhas?"

Zhao Rong shook his head and pointed at the seasoning particles dancing in the water. "You don’t understand, Assistant. Every single particle in this seasoning packet is a minuscule nanobot."

Hearing that a seasoning packet from a pack of Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles contained countless nanobots, the assistant exclaimed in shock, "No way! Does such high technology really exist in the world?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Feeling a sense of wonder, Miss Lili said, "Brother Zhao Rong, you’re incredible! Buying a Divine Artifact like this from the Paradise Shopping Cart just to deal with piranhas... that’s unbelievably awesome!"

However, the beautiful Yu Lan was still confused as she stared at the calm surface of the water. "Brother Zhao Rong," she said, "you claim every particle in that seasoning packet is a nanobot, but when I look, the water’s surface is completely calm. I don’t see any battle between nanobots and piranhas."

Xuelian also voiced her doubts. "Brother Zhao Rong, are you tricking us? How could so many nanobots fit inside a single seasoning packet? And what’s even more outrageous is that every single particle of seasoning is a nanobot. Imagine how advanced that technology would have to be!"

Before Xuelian could finish, Zhao Rong produced four microscopes from his Magic Ring and handed them to the assistant and the three women. "The nanobots aren’t battling the piranhas themselves," he explained, "but every single molecule and atom that makes them up. Use these microscopes, and you’ll be able to see the nanobots in action in the river."

Before Zhao Rong could even finish speaking, the assistant and the three women witnessed the great war unfolding in the river water.

Holding the microscope, the assistant exclaimed in utter amazement, "My god, the microscopic world is simply magical! Do you know what I’m seeing? I’m seeing countless nanobots on warhorses, wielding long spears, charging at endless waves of molecules and atoms!"

Miss Lili held her microscope as if she were watching a Hollywood blockbuster, enjoying the intense and thrilling battle. "Oh my god, each nanobot is a Spartan warrior, and the piranhas’ cells are the bad guys! Guess what I’m seeing? I’m watching the Spartans take on an army of 200,000 Persians!"

Yu Lan saw an even more miraculous scene. She cried out in astonishment, "Oh my god! Guess what I’m seeing? I’m watching Genghis Khan leading the Mongol hordes, sweeping across the entire world!"

Xuelian went a step further. She pulled out her phone and began filming the microscopic war through the microscope’s lens. "I’m going to record this whole battle," she announced. "Then I’ll edit it, add all sorts of special effects, and make it into a movie. I’ll sell it to Hollywood and make a fortune!"

While everyone was captivated by the battle between the nanobots and the piranhas’ molecules and atoms, the once-lively fish on the water’s surface began to die, one after another. They flipped belly-up, floating motionless.

When Zhao Rong saw the piranhas being killed by the nanobots, he looked at the seasoning packet still in his hand and said excitedly, "This is amazing, truly amazing. I never expected the Paradise Shopping Cart to sell something so miraculous."

With that, Zhao Rong tossed the rest of the seasoning into the water and began to eat his Xiong Yi Wu instant noodles.

But after just two bites, he suddenly felt his stomach begin to rumble.

With dawning horror, Zhao Rong realized the grave mistake he had made: he had eaten the noodles with the same hand that had touched the nanobots. He had accidentally ingested a large number of them.

And the nanobots that had entered his stomach were now starting a massive battle with the cells inside his own body.
