Horror Camgirl - Ch. 112: Demon Specimen
Spiritual Plants are extremely expensive. Every Alchemist is made by using countless Spiritual Plants, which is why Alchemists are so rare.
I need to figure out a way to make money. Live streaming brings in some income, but it’s nowhere near enough.
I’ve refined quite a bit of Small Peyuan Pills and healing medicines. Maybe I should sell some?
I logged into Hei Yan TV, searching through comments to find customers. There were plenty of people interested in buying Elixir Pills, but I can’t just sell to anyone recklessly—it could lead to trouble.
That's when I noticed a message from a user named "Struggling Little Alchemist," saying that if I was interested in selling Elixir Pills, I could try listing them on the platform called Special Human. The link was sent to me via private message.
I clicked the link, and a clean, elegant page loaded up, exuding a vintage charm. It was quite beautiful.
It turns out this site is specifically for Ability Users, Martial Artists, and cultivators, sponsored by the Special Department.
The government categorizes Ability Users, Martial Artists, and cultivators under the collective term "Special Humans," hence the site's name, Special Human.
The site has many forums for discussions. The most popular section is the Elixir Pill forum. As soon as I clicked in, there were tons of posts, all requesting Elixir Pills. Some Alchemists even posted their freshly refined Elixir Pills for public review.
The site is very secure. To register, you must input a bit of Spiritual Energy—Inner Force for Martial Artists and abilities for Ability Users.
Only after inputting this can one register and log in. Martial Artists with only Bright Strength who lack Inner Force can’t log in but can request an invitation code from the local Special Department.
There’s a dedicated shop section, where you can open a store, similar to Taobao. I browsed around and found very few sellers offering Elixir Pills.
This is quite convenient.
I immediately registered a username, "Yan Hua Luan," logged in, and applied to open a shop. I was ready for a trial run.
During the trial period, I have to complete a total of ten orders. If all ten receive positive feedback, the shop can officially open. If it’s discovered that I’m selling fake or subpar products, I’ll be permanently banned from opening a shop, and in severe cases, my account could be suspended.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead—luckily, they didn’t ask for a deposit. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have enough cash to even open the shop with the few tens of thousands I have left.
Once the shop was approved, I immediately uploaded photos of the healing medicine and Small Peyuan Pills.
But after waiting a whole morning, I didn’t get a single order.
For a trial shop selling something like Elixir Pills, it's understandable that people might not trust it right away.
It looks like I’ll need to run a promotion.
In many stories, the protagonist sells Elixir Pills under a bridge stall for 200,000 each, without haggling—who would buy from such a setup unless they’ve lost their mind?
Times have changed. In today's society, you need to generate hype.
So, I went to the Alchemy forum and created a post: Free Trial of Small Peyuan Pills and Healing Pills—a total of five samples up for grabs. First come, first served.
As soon as I posted, comments started rolling in.
“Is the OP crazy? Giving away something as precious as Small Peyuan Pills? It must be fake, right?”
“This is an ad. Hands down the most impressive marketing strategy I’ve seen.”
“Judging by the photos, these Elixir Pills look pretty good. Are you really giving them away, OP?”
Despite the skepticism, quite a few people signed up. I selected a few well-known forum users with high activity levels and sent each of them a set of Small Peyuan Pills and Healing Pills. The only condition was that they post their experiences afterward.
A few days later, one of the recipients, a user named "Dongfeng Po," who is a Dark Strength Martial Artist and very active on the forum, posted his review.
He shared a video demonstrating the Healing Pills. In the video, he cut his arm with a knife and applied half of a Healing Pill to the wound. The bleeding stopped instantly.
He placed his arm close to the camera, showing the wound healing at a visible rate. In less than ten minutes, a scab had formed.
“Dongfeng Po” was visibly excited and spoke to the camera, “Everyone, ‘Yan Hua Luan’s Healing Pills are truly effective. I’m going to buy a lot more. You all do as you see fit.”
As soon as the video was posted, the comments section exploded.
“Did you add special effects to that video? A simple Healing Pill, not even considered an Elixir Pill, working that well?”
“Are you brain-dead? Do you even know who the OP is? A Dark Strength Martial Artist, the one and only ‘Brother Po’. Do you think he would lie? I need to buy some to keep on hand.”
“‘Brother Po’ is loaded. He’s done countless Elixir Pill review videos. The last time I bought pills based on his recommendation, the effects were excellent. If Brother Po endorses it, it’s definitely legit. I better buy some before they run out.”
“Wait, aren’t these the same pills used by the ‘Horror Female Streamer’ during her live streams? Could it be that ‘Yan Hua Luan’ is actually the ‘Horror Female Streamer’?”
"What? If she’s really the Horror Female Streamer, I’ll buy as many Elixir Pills as she has for sale!"
"I left tons of comments on Hei YanTV wanting to buy Elixir Pills from her, but she never responded. Turns out, she's selling them here."
I listed only fifty Elixir Pills on the market, each priced at 150,000. In no time, they were swept up by "Dongfeng Po," and in the blink of an eye, I had made 15 million.
No wonder all the Alchemists are so wealthy.
Looks like I set my prices too low.
After selling out, I listed another batch of fifty Elixir Pills, but this time I increased the price to 200,000 each. I also added five Peyuan Pills to the inventory.
The Small Peyuan Pills are made with basic herbs and have a production cost of only around 10,000 to 20,000 per pill. However, the Peyuan Pills are a different story—they are over ten times more effective than the Small Peyuan Pills, and naturally, the price reflects that: 2 million per pill.
I initially thought that such pricey Elixir Pills would take a while to sell, but to my surprise, they were snatched up the moment they went live.
In less than a minute, every Elixir Pill was sold out, leaving the forums flooded with complaints. All I could do was leave a message saying that the stock was exhausted and to come back earlier next time.
Since I’ve already been recognized, I might as well promote my Elixir Pill shop directly in my live streams going forward.
While chatting with Yin Changsheng about this, Huang Luzi jumped in to comment on how times have changed—now you can even buy Elixir Pills online with home delivery. How convenient!
Items traded between Special Humans are always delivered by courier companies arranged by the Special Department, ensuring safety.
Now that I’ve settled issues with the Alchemist Association and secured funds, it’s time to focus on live streaming.
When Tang Mingli came over for a Medicinal Bath, I told him about the Elixir Pills. He wanted to buy some, so I set aside twenty pills for him and even offered a 10% discount.
Tang Mingli told me about a collector living in Shan City. This collector has a peculiar obsession with collecting items related to murder cases.
Recently, it’s said that he acquired a preserved Corpse specimen.
This specimen is over 300 years old, supposedly a monster with sharp fangs and razor-like claws. At birth, it devoured the midwife who delivered it.
The mother, unwilling to kill it, secretly raised it in a hidden chamber, feeding it raw meat daily. By the time it was five, raw meat was no longer enough to satisfy its hunger, so it devoured its wet nurse and maidservants. On a moonless night, it slaughtered its entire family.
The monster became a menace to the town, needing to eat a person every night. When the local authorities sent people to kill it, not only did they fail, but many officers were also killed by it.
One day, a wandering Taoist priest passed through the town and sensed the heavy Yin energy pervading the area. Realizing that a demon was at large, he decided to exorcise it and managed to capture the creature.
The Taoist priest declared that this demon was a rare Demon Child, and his own cultivation was too weak to completely destroy it. Instead, he used special methods to seal it, preventing it from wreaking further havoc.
He turned the Demon Child into a preserved specimen and pierced its head with forty-nine silver needles. As long as these needles remained undisturbed, the Demon Child would not awaken to cause chaos again.
Originally, this Demon Child was sealed beneath the Chenghuang Temple in the town. However, during a time of war and upheaval, someone dug it up.
Since then, the specimen has changed hands many times and was even displayed in Zhonghai City before the founding of the country, attracting curious onlookers.
Yet, to this day, no one has been reckless enough to pull out the silver needles from the Demon Child’s head.
