Chapter 1023: Heating the River Water

As soon as the three beauties and the assistant heard that Zhao Rong was planning to use a hot water gadget to heat up the water temperature,

they were incredulous and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, are you crazy? That hot water gadget is just a steel wire rod, put into an electric kettle to boil water, and now you want to use it to heat the river water, it’s simply unbelievable…”

Miss Lili reminded Zhao Rong, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, even if you bought a high-powered hot water gadget from the Paradise Shopping Cart, there’s no electricity. How are you going to heat the river water then?”

Yu Lan felt it was simply impossible and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, if you can’t manage to raise the temperature of the river water, then just buy a simple little boat from the Paradise Shopping Cart, and we can sail ahead without fuss…”

Xuelian was even more direct to Zhao Rong, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, I think you should buy diving suits from the Paradise Shopping Cart, each of us wear a set of those warm diving suits, that way we might still reach the destination…”

Meanwhile, the assistant pushed forward by clinging to a nearby stalactite, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, even if you do nothing, these river waters won’t freeze me, because by holding onto these stalactites, we can totally move forward…”

Zhao Rong, feeling quite worn out, said:

“Forget it, assistant, just get into the river water, because the package has arrived…”

After that, Zhao Rong pointed to the package floating on the river’s surface,

and then said to everyone:

“Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, assistant, the Divine Artifact I bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart to heat the river water has arrived, go ahead and open the package, and give me the hot water gadget, I’m about to make this icy river water comfortably warm…”

When Miss Lili saw that the package hadn’t fallen from the sky but was floating on the river’s surface,

she noticed something unusual and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, I recall that usually when you open the Paradise Shopping Cart app on your phone, and buy something from there, it falls from the sky, but why is the package this time rising from the water instead of falling from the sky?”

Zhao Rong laughed, explaining to Miss Lili:

“Miss Lili, you may not know, the delivery methods from the Paradise Shopping Cart are quite varied, if we’re in an open place, a package will fall from the sky, if we’re in the soil, a package will naturally grow out of the ground, if we’re on the river, then a package will float over from the river’s surface…”

Listening to Zhao Rong’s explanation, Miss Lili was utterly impressed with Paradise Shopping Cart, the website only celestial beings can buy from.

At that moment, Yu Lan opened the package and took out a very inconspicuous hot water gadget typically used in college dorms for boiling water,

Then she said to Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, you really bought a hot water gadget from the Paradise Shopping Cart…”

Xuelian recalled back to her university days when using a hot water gadget in the dorm burnt the building’s fuses,

She said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, you don’t know, in college, hot water gadgets were completely forbidden… because sometimes, due to poor quality, they would leak electricity, and even burn the dorm’s electrical fuses…”

The assistant jumped up scared, grabbing onto a rock to distance himself from the river,

He said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, if you’re going to use the hot water gadget to heat the river, make sure it doesn’t leak electricity, otherwise, the water is conductive and could electrocute everyone in it…”

Listening to the assistant’s concern, Zhao Rong laughed and said:

“Assistant, you’re worrying too much, haven’t you noticed, the hot water gadget I bought from Paradise Shopping Cart isn’t made of metal, but ceramic… Ceramic is the best insulating material, so even if this gadget leaks electricity, it wouldn’t carry it into the river water…”

Then Miss Lili asked Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, even if the hot water gadget is made of ceramic and isn’t conductive, how are you going to power it without an extension cord to supply it with electricity?”

Zhao Rong chuckled, then pulled out an AA battery from his pocket and said to everyone:

“Although there’s no electricity here, I have an AA battery, which can still heat the river with the hot water gadget…”

As soon as Zhao Rong used the battery to power the hot water gadget,

the gadget immediately warmed the icy river water to a perfect human bathing temperature.

Seeing the river water grow warmer and more comfortable,

The assistant jumped into the water, feeling delighted and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, you’re impressive, heating the river water to just the right temperature, now I really want to take a hot shower…”

Just when the assistant was about to take a hot bath,

Zhao Rong stepped forward, warning him:

“Assistant, mind your manners, don’t you see, the three beauties are also in the nearby river?”

The assistant yawned, feeling quite embarrassed, said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, the three beauties just wanted you to warm the river water, suffice that it’s not freezing, but they didn’t say to heat it to a hot bath level…”

Before the assistant finished speaking,

The three beauties quickly told Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, assistant, could you both temporarily step away?”

Perplexed, Zhao Rong asked:

“Why step away? Are you planning on a solo adventure?”

Miss Lili looked shyly at Zhao Rong, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, because you’ve heated the river water to bath temperature, so we three ladies would like to…”

Yu Lan sternly warned the assistant, saying:

“Assistant, we trust Brother Zhao Rong, he’ll definitely step away when we ask, but as for you, assistant, we absolutely don’t trust you, because you are inherently… So you must blindfold yourself, and tie your hands to a rock, then we three ladies can bathe in peace…”

After saying that, Xuelian and Yu Lan each took a rope and a black cloth, walking toward the assistant.

Seeing the two beauties approach the assistant,

Yu Lan promptly covered the assistant’s eyes with the black cloth,

Then she instructed Xuelian, standing beside her:

“Xuelian, to prevent the assistant from taking the black cloth off with his hands, tie his hands with this rope, and secure them tightly to the rock, making him immobile, unable to move…”

When the two beauties finished securing the assistant,

they returned to the warm river water, feeling utterly comfortable…

Meanwhile, Zhao Rong turned away, closing his eyes…
