Just as Zhao Rong was explaining to Principal Wang Guihua how he had used all sorts of black technology to capture the Rainy Night Killer, the police from Xijing City arrived. Several ard special policen got out and escorted the Rainy Night Killer into a police car.
anwhile, the chief of police walked over to Zhao Rong. As he approached, he imdiately grasped Zhao Rong's hand and said earnestly, "Young hero, you are truly amazing. You've rid our Xijing City of a major nace!"
Turning to a lawyer behind him, the chief asked, "By the way, how much was the reward we offered for catching this Rainy Night Killer?"
The lawyer inford him, "Since the Rainy Night Killer was so difficult to capture, we increased the reward to ten million."
Hearing this, the chief imdiately turned back to Zhao Rong. "Young hero, because you've captured the Rainy Night Killer, that ten-million-dollar reward is all yours."
With that, the chief ordered soone to bring over a large case filled with cash. When Zhao Rong saw the large case, he was montarily stunned. He looked at the chief and asked, "Are you really rewarding with ten million?"
The chief took out so docunts for Zhao Rong to sign and explained, "To catch the Rainy Night Killer, Xijing City's reward went from ten thousand to one hundred thousand, then from one hundred thousand to one million. Finally, because we just couldn't catch him, the reward was raised directly from one million to ten million. I never thought we'd see the day, but the old saying is true: a great reward brings out brave n. And sure enough, soone finally captured the Rainy Night Killer."
Saying this, the chief handed the large case full of cash to Zhao Rong.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhao Rong accepted the reward and said modestly, "Actually, I didn't capture the Rainy Night Killer for the money. I hadn't even seen the reward notice."
The assistant standing next to him chid in, "Chief, my big brother, Zhao Rong, set out to capture the Rainy Night Killer purely out of a desire to eliminate a threat to society and to right a terrible wrong." As he spoke, the assistant helped Zhao Rong open the large case.
However, when he opened it and saw the cash inside, he was so astounded he was left speechless. After a mont, the stunned assistant turned to Zhao Rong and stamred, "Brother Zhao Rong, it's really ten million!"
Zhao Rong nodded. "I know. The chief already told the amount."
With an excited expression, the assistant said, "But Brother Zhao Rong, the chief only told you the reward was ten million. He didn't tell you it was in US dollars!"
When Zhao Rong heard it was US dollars, his eyes widened in disbelief. "No way! A reward of ten million US dollars? That's over sixty million yuan!"
The chief nodded, patting Zhao Rong on the shoulder. "Don't be so surprised, young hero. For catching the Rainy Night Killer, this reward was well worth it."
After comnding Zhao Rong once more, the chief got into his police car and departed.
After the police left, Zhao Rong promptly stored the large case of cash inside his Magic Ring. He did a quick ntal calculation. Since arriving in Xijing City in this parallel world, the total cash he had earned had already surpassed one billion. Zhao Rong planned to use this money to establish a foundation dedicated to saving lives and supporting the weak and needy.
When the assistant and the three beautiful won standing beside Zhao Rong saw how he had effortlessly made ten million US dollars, they imdiately gave him a thumbs-up. "Brother Zhao Rong, you're just too aweso! Your ability to make money is absolutely top-notch in Xijing City."
Zhao Rong nodded modestly. "It was all just a fortunate accident. I really didn't put much effort into it."
Hearing his humble words, the assistant and the three won still held their thumbs up in admiration. The crowd of onlookers and the students from the won's university looked at Zhao Rong with newfound respect.
A young man selling sweet potatoes, seeing that Zhao Rong had earned ten million US dollars in a single night, kicked over his own roasting cart and swore an oath to himself. From now on, I'm done selling sweet potatoes! I'm going to beco a man as powerful and capable as Zhao Rong! With that, the sweet potato seller began scouring the city for wanted posters, setting out to beco a bounty hunter.
A petty thief, seeing that capturing fugitives could yield such a high reward, imdiately decided to give up his life of cri and beco a private detective.
A beautiful young student from the won's university gazed at Zhao Rong with an adoring look. "When I get married, I want to marry a young hero like Brother Zhao Rong! Because he can not only fight, but he's also good at making money!"
While Zhao Rong was basking in the waves of praise and admiration, the principal reminded him, "Brother Zhao Rong, it seems we still have a task to complete, don't we?"
Her words snapped Zhao Rong back to reality. Now that the killer was caught, they had to rescue all the students he had imprisoned. He imdiately turned to Wang Guihua and said, "Principal, all the students who have disappeared from our won's university over the past twenty years were imprisoned by the Rainy Night Killer in the basent under the gymnasium."
Hearing about the gymnasium basent, Wang Guihua was taken aback. She told Zhao Rong, "The gymnasium basent has supposedly been haunted for years, so the school hired a construction crew to seal the entrance with cent."
Zhao Rong's expression turned grim. "If the basent was sealed with cent, doesn't that an there's no oxygen inside?"
Without another word, Zhao Rong, his assistant, Miss Lili, the beautiful Yu Lan, the beautiful Xuelian, and Principal Wang Guihua sprinted toward the school gymnasium. When they arrived and descended the stairs to the basent, they stopped dead in their tracks, staring at the doorway, which was completely sealed by a solid block of cent.
Zhao Rong stepped forward and touched the cent. "This has set really solid," he remarked, feeling how incredibly hard it was.
Principal Wang Guihua said with a hint of regret, "Back then, we received reports from students that the gymnasium basent was haunted. So, we hired the best construction crew in the world, using the strongest cent imaginable, to seal this door. The hardness of this cent is comparable to granite."
Hearing this, Zhao Rong began to rack his brain for a way to break through the cent door and get into the basent.
As he was thinking, Miss Lili, who was standing beside him, suddenly pulled out her phone. She handed it to him and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, why don't you search the Paradise Shopping Cart? Maybe you can find so kind of black-tech, wall-breaking gadget."
Zhao Rong took her phone, opened the Paradise Shopping Cart app, and searched for "wall-breaking tools." Instantly, a variety of black-tech gadgets appeared. One item in particular, an explosive called the "Matchstick Detonator," caught his eye.
He carefully studied the product description and discovered that each detonator was the size and weight of a single matchstick. All he had to do was buy a box, glue each "matchstick" to the cent wall, and detonate them simultaneously to shatter the incredibly hard barrier.
So, Zhao Rong imdiately purchased a box of Matchstick Detonators.
Within three minutes of his purchase, an SF Express courier rushed up to the gymnasium's basent entrance with a small parcel. Zhao Rong was very surprised to see him. Ever since he started shopping on the Paradise Shopping Cart, he had never used any of the standard courier companies, instead choosing various unbelievable and exceptionally fast delivery thods.
He looked at the courier and said, "Sir, I don't recall choosing SF Express when I bought this."
The courier handed the small package to Zhao Rong and explained, "Sir, I know you chose Dragonfly Express. However, while the dragonflies were in mid-air delivering your package, two of them were unfortunately eaten by their natural predator, a gecko. They could no longer transport the package, so they had to find a nearby courier company to complete the delivery for you."
Zhao Rong understood. After signing for the delivery, he imdiately opened the box of Matchstick Detonators. When he saw the contents, he was stunned. Scratching the back of his head, he said in disbelief, "What the hell? This is just a normal box of matches. How can you call these detonators?"
The assistant peered at the box and comnted, "The tip is red and flammable, and the body is just a wooden stick. It's such a crude, simple design with no technology in it at all. How can this pass for a detonator? The shop owner is a total scamr. Brother, you've definitely been tricked."
The three beautiful won also thought Zhao Rong had been deceived. "Brother Zhao Rong, you might as well use those to light a cigarette. They're definitely not detonators."
However, Principal Wang Guihua stepped forward, stating with confidence that they were, in fact, detonators. "Brother Zhao Rong, you may not know this, but humanity has recently developed a new piece of black technology that can turn wood into explosives. I believe this box of matches might be that kind of detonator. You should give it a try first."
Hearing this, Zhao Rong sighed and decided he might as well. Ti to put it to the test.
Following the instructions, he took the matches and glued them to the cent wall, arranging them in a grid with a ten-centiter gap between each one. Next, he connected a long fuse to the first matchstick and ran the other end up to the gymnasium floor above.
Once everything was ready, Zhao Rong took out a lighter and lit the fuse.
