Nightmare Apostle

After gaining his adoptive father’s approval, Yang Xiao also entered the state, beginning to further analyze the advantages and disadvantages, striving to expand the boundaries for the Esoteric Sect in the commercial sector.

Previously, he had always had this plan, but didn’t have the opportunity. Now he can be considered to have found fertile ground to fulfill his ambitions.

"Adoptive father, this rental can be divided into two options: one is renting the prisoner home, the other is keeping the prisoner on our turf and inviting the enemy to stay with our Esoteric Sect."

"We can operate the whole industry in the form of a resort, and I’ve already thought of a name, let’s call it Happy Castle."

"However, I think this one-on-one selling is still a bit slow, we need to connect with the international sphere. My initial idea is to do online livestreaming."

"Not a single account, but an account matrix, ideally dozens to hundreds, livestreaming simultaneously when enemies take revenge on the prisoner."

"Charging membership fees or rewarding different amounts of gifts will unlock new play methods, or create exclusive live rooms according to customer requirements. This satisfies those customers who have enmity with the prisoner but can’t afford to carry out revenge personally as they can watch the revenge online, we charge by the minute."

"Next is the next procedure, what to do when the prisoner is dying from revenge and can no longer be rented to make money for us?" Yang Xiao looked at Elder Kunpa, who was furiously taking notes, like a teacher questioning.

"Send them for alchemy." Elder Kunpa confidently answered; this was something he was very familiar with.

"Correct, but not entirely correct." Yang Xiao gave an ambiguous answer.

"How so?" Cannibal Buddha asked.

"Adoptive father, think about it, directly using them for alchemy is too wasteful, why not broadcast the alchemy process live?"

"This not only satisfies the revenge psychology of enemies but can also be made into a legal show, circulating in high-risk areas like the borders to hit enemy morale, letting them know the consequences of going against our Esoteric Sect!"

"We can make the alchemy furnace transparent, broadcasting live with a 360-degree view, no dead angles. We can also adjust the fire intensity according to the size of the gifts given during the livestream; smaller gifts, we use a big fire to roast violently, bigger gifts, we use a small fire to slowly smoke."

"Then we can do a charity program, donating a portion of the livestream earnings to children in poor mountain areas. This not only hits the enemy’s morale but also showcases how you, adoptive father, care for the people like your own children."

"Wait a moment." Elder Kunpa interrupted: "Young priest, the reasoning is there, but alchemy is meticulous work. If the fire intensity is inconsistent, wouldn’t the quality of the elixir be substandard, ruining our reputation?"

"Tch." Yang Xiao expressed some helplessness of talking past each other. "Elder Kunpa, do you understand what emotional value means?"

"Think about it, if you have a chance to throw an enemy alive into a transparent alchemy furnace, would you care about the quality and efficacy of the elixir? This process itself is enough to make you exuberantly happy."

"Furthermore, even if the elixir fails, we can secretly replace it with a quality-approved elixir for the client. I refuse to believe they can determine the origin of the ingredients when consuming the elixir, right?"

"Of course, if the client pays enough, we can provide upgraded services, including but not limited to tossing the enemy and his son, or the enemy’s three generations into the same transparent alchemy furnace, reunite their family."

"This kind of premium service must be charged high; only available to our supreme VIPs, and the livestream footage must also require a membership."

"Membership must be tiered, different levels corresponding to different picture qualities." Yang Xiao pondered while touching his chin: "Starting from 360P Standard Definition, 480P Clarity, 720P HD, 1080P Full HD, 2K, 4K...and then charging for freely switching camera angles."

"Of course, the key to growing bigger and stronger is integrity, making each customer feel value for money."

"I plan to introduce herbal traceability; every elixir sold will have a QR code on the side of the medication box."

"Simply pull out your phone and scan it, and you will see the name of the volunteer who provided the elixir and their family, along with personal biographies and other identity information, ensuring every elixir the customer consumes is genuine."

"I’ve already thought of a name for this plan... Adopt an Enemy."

"These are living resources, next let’s talk about deceased resources, these are our fundamentals."

"First, retrieving the Magic Artifact from the corpses, no need to speak on it."

"Secondly, making full use of resources, trying to use various channels to find enemies of these guys, auctioning the corpses for them to buy home for whipping and venting."

"However, one thing to note is conducting background checks; for high-value targets, arrange some agents on-site to bid up and strive for maximizing profits."

"Those that can’t be sold proceed to the next step, further categorizing the corpses. Those with good appearance can be made into Puppets, sold to those in need, letting them buy back home to work tirelessly.

"Defective goods continue to the next round of categorization, classified according to their lifetime level."

At this point, Yang Xiao humbly smiled: "What to do next, I don’t need to nag, this is your comfort zone."

High levels go for alchemy; low levels have no choice. Blame their lack of merit, can only be cheap processed, sent as containers for cultivating black herbs, an old practice of the Esoteric Sect.

After hearing Yang Xiao’s series of plans, the scene fell silent; Cannibal Buddha frowned in thought, while Elder Kunpa obviously had brain overload, unable to digest this information in a short time.
