Chapter 35

Li Huan glanced at the bullet comments and continued, “I believe everyone is just as curious as I am—does the Jade Dew Pill really have such an amazing effect?”

“Now, I’ll pull up a timer and display it on the screen. Let’s observe together how fast the Jade Dew Pill helps restore mental energy.”

As she spoke, Li Huan operated the interface, and a timer counting in seconds appeared on the live stream screen.

“All right, big bro, are you ready?” Li Huan looked at Li Yu with a smile.

Li Yu’s expression was impatient. “Hurry up already.”

Li Huan held back a laugh.

After another glance at the bullet comments, she finally stuffed the pill into Li Yu’s mouth.

“It’s starting,” she announced before activating the timer.

The moment Li Yu received the pill, he immediately swallowed it.

At the 1-second mark, he had just finished gulping it down.

Then, the numbers on the testing device tracking Li Yu’s mental energy began to soar.

A rapid surge—the numbers rolled upward at an astonishing speed.

The audience in the live stream was stunned. For a moment, not a single comment appeared on the screen.

It was as if even their breathing had stopped as they stared at the changing numbers above Li Yu’s head.

This… this mental energy recovery speed was insane!

Not just the audience, even Li Huan almost forgot to react when she saw the scene.

But she quickly regained her composure and stopped the timer the instant Li Yu’s mental energy stopped increasing.

“Twelve seconds,” Li Huan’s voice wavered slightly.

She quickly steadied herself.

“Guys, my big bro only took twelve seconds to recover over ninety percent of his mental energy!”

“The Jade Dew Pill really is this powerful!”

Her words seemed to flip a switch—bullet comments exploded across the screen, filling it in an instant.

“As expected of the strongest Grade-2 pill! The Jade Dew Pill is a miracle medicine!”

“I need to buy some! Streamer, put them on sale now—I’ll take ten bottles!”

“This is a blessing for the Federation! If these pills are widely distributed, they could save lives on the battlefield during critical moments!”

“Please, I need Jade Dew Pills! I’m heading to a desolate star for a mission tomorrow and desperately need them for safety!”

“Such an incredible pill—how much does it cost? Streamer, do you have any price estimates?”

“Buying Jade Dew Pills +1! I want a hundred bottles!”

“Streamer, notice me! I want to buy some too!”

Seeing the overwhelming purchase requests in the comments, Li Huan regretted that she had yet to obtain the patent authorization for the Jade Dew Pill.

Otherwise, she could have put up a preorder link and made a fortune herself.

But noticing that her viewer count was still skyrocketing, Li Huan pushed down her regrets.

Gaining more followers was the most important thing.

If she worked hard, maybe she could even become a top streamer on the Joyful Broadcast platform!

What Li Huan didn’t know was that not long after her stream started, Zheng Yuan had already made arrangements to funnel traffic toward her using his resources.

Meanwhile, just ten minutes ago, Joyful Broadcast detected the unusual surge in her stream’s popularity and, realizing it was a trending sensation, directly pinned her stream to the platform’s homepage.

Coupled with the media buzz drawing in more viewers, her stream’s popularity continued to climb.

Suddenly, Li Yu spoke, “I feel my strength coming back—my mental energy is completely restored.”

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and tested his energy.

Li Huan smiled at him.

“Looks like the Jade Dew Pill really works wonders on B-rank beastmen.”

Li Yu’s eyes burned with excitement as he looked at the remaining pills on the small table nearby.

“Hey, sis, since I volunteered as a test subject for you, how about giving me a bottle of Jade Dew Pills?”

This pill was miraculous. With it in hand, he’d have an extra layer of security whether he was on a mission or engaging in combat practice!

Li Huan’s expression stiffened—she was about to refuse outright.

But with so many viewers in the stream and since Li Yu had helped her, it wouldn’t look good to reject him.

Besides, she had hinted to her audience that she had a good relationship with Chu Ning.

If that were true, giving her brother a single bottle of pills wouldn’t be a big deal at all.

So, to keep up appearances, she had no choice but to agree.

Out of the camera’s view, Li Huan shot a glare at Li Yu.

Li Yu, on the other hand, grinned triumphantly. On closer inspection, his smile was quite smug.

“Fine, I’ll give you a bottle!” Li Huan said in a cheerful tone, though she was clearly gritting her teeth.

“Thanks, sis! You’re the best!”

To Li Huan, her brother was the definition of shameless.

The bullet comments surged again.

“Having an alchemist little sister is the best! Should I beg my parents to have another kid? Is it still possible?”

“I want a little sister too! She doesn’t even have to be an alchemist—just a regular female is fine. (Says a beastman with only a younger brother.)”

“I’m desperate. Except for my mom, my whole family is beastmen. I’ve been dreaming of having a little sister!”

“I want a little sister—to pamper her endlessly!”

“I want a little sister—and train her to become an alchemist!”

Li Huan glanced at the comments and shot Li Yu a look that said, See how lucky you are?

Li Yu looked speechless.

He stood up.

“All right, you’ve spent some of your mental energy on alchemy.”

“I’ll assist you in testing the Jade Dew Pill further.”

“Mm.” Li Huan responded, ceasing her small bickering with Li Yu.

She was eager to see if the Jade Dew Pill would work for her too. If it did, she wouldn’t have to worry as much about mental exhaustion while refining pills.

As long as she had enough Jade Dew Pills, she could extend her alchemy live streams.

That way, both her alchemy skills and mental energy would improve much faster.

With that thought, Li Huan turned back to the small table and faced the screen again.

“Everyone, we’ve already confirmed that the Jade Dew Pill is highly effective for B-rank beastmen. Now, let’s test its effects on a B-rank female.”

“For this test, I’ll be the volunteer, and my brother will assist me.”

Li Yu stepped forward and waved at the camera.

“Hello, everyone. From here on, I’ll take charge.”

“Don’t worry—I’ll make sure Huanhuan completes the test perfectly.”

As he spoke, Li Yu placed the testing device on Li Huan’s head.

“Keep this on while you refine pills. This way, everyone can see how your mental energy depletes.” He smirked playfully.

Li Huan glanced at her brother, knowing he was deliberately messing with her.

But he did have a point.

So, she complied.

After putting on the testing device, Li Yu activated its mental energy tracking mode.

The numbers displayed matched the mental energy levels Li Huan had previously measured.

“All right, you can start refining now.” Li Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Li Huan shot him a look before pulling out her pill furnace and beginning her refinement process.
