Chapter 67: Target Audience

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Target Audience

At first Keira’s face was doubting if she had made any mistakes while choosing Derrick as her students.

But once she heard his arguments and his reason behind using these two pills, a flicker of understanding flashed through her eyes.

"You can even make a combo using the two pills with a 10% tag." While her mind was imagining how the market would react, her mouth blurted the words before she even realized.

Derrick paused.

He turned to look at her, his eyes turned bright with admiration.

"As expected of my teacher. Why didn’t I think of that? While I am at it, I should add some flavors to these pills."

He hurriedly created another column for the combos.

As for the flavored pills... Derrick asked the system if such pills even existed within the system.

And the reply was...

[The system is filled with all sorts of Pills. All you need is a big bank balance.]

From the start, Derrick was going to sell the pills he bought from the system.

As for their price?

A 40% pure Raging Tiger Pill was around three thousand social credits. While the 60% version was about ten thousand social credits.

Derrick was relieved when he first learned about this function. With this, he would not have to buy pure pills and wait for their quality to drop to sell a pill.

Keira shook her head hearing her student’s snickering.

He looked like a mad scientist plotting to take over the world.

But despite her reserves, she had to admit, whenever Derrick was involved, something intresting happened.

She watched intently as he finished the final detailing of the site and did a final check before publishing it online.

"Now... I have to promote the site." There were millions of site in this time and age.

Any willy nilly could make the website with basic knowledge but only a short percentage of them actually worked.

Either the product was so great that people could not wait to get their hands on it or the magic of promotions did its work.

"Do I have to invest money?" Derrick checked his balance and he had already used more than quarter of his money to help Beth.

He had deposited three months of rent as a guarantee.

Once the orders came he would need the money to buy the pills.

"Guess I will have to step on the line once again..." Derrick hummed to himself. As if he had forgotten, Keira was sitting beside him. He coded his way into the mainframe of the most popular video generating sites.

Within 10 minutes, he had set around 20 images and videos to be generated by the AI.

The images and the video looked so real that no one could tell if it was Ai or not.

Derrick hurriedly created a profile on the Pinsta, a popular social media site.

Once the account was created, he published images related to pill making that made it look so cool. And even added a few images of finished product with images of tiger roaring in the background.

"Honestly, this looks so great." Keira no longer admonished Derrick anymore but calmly watched him work from the side.

The boy did not say anything as if he had not heard her but inwardly he was snickering. Hehe! Teacher you are doing great. Come on, fall to the dark side.

Derrick did not even let her realize that he had hacked into the social media sight and started manipulating the audience reach of his account.

Target audience?

Hunters. Old people above 40-50. Women. Men. Single Men. Married Men. Horn—

Derrick selected a bunch of tags before pushing all of his posts and the account to appear on the front page of the targeted audience.

"What did you do?" Keira looked at Derrick with narrowed eyes.

She got a feeling that he had done something shade right before her eyes but she had no proof.

"Me? Nothing. I was just adding some hidden settings that most people ignore." Derrick innocently replied.

Once he was done with promoting on one app. He moved on to the second one and then the third.

In the middle of it, Keira got up and went to sleep because it was already midnight and she did not want to keep Rebecca waiting.

With her gone, Derrick became more unrestrained and kept going until he had an account on all big websites.

Derrick even added the ad on the porn sites just to get his target audience.

"I should get a low level super computer." Derrick sighed as he felt tired, more than when he wrote Chapters.

It was more of a mental exhaustion than physical one.

"If I have one, I can make AI that can do all the work for me." The code was already in his mind, all Derrick needed was the hardware to bring it to life.

But when he checked the price, the basic cheap second hand super computer alone costed around tens of millions of Social Credits.

"Better focus on selling pills first." Letting out a frustrated groan, he went back to finding places to promote his product.

...

3:00Am

Most of the residents of the Emerald City were already sleep.

The only ones who were still awake were either hunters, lonely people, gaming addicts or some depressed people.

One of such people was a 60 year old man.

He had just returned home from his shift at the Great Wall with a lustful smirk on his face.

"Just wait my dear wife, I will surprise you, hehe." He was so excited to get back home and meet his wife.

His happiness doubled when he went inside his house and saw his wife lying on the bed, pleasuring herself.

The woman noticed him and stared at him with inviting gaze.

That alluring invitation was enough to make him feel something. But what happened next made his face go pale and his happiness to die down.

"Nonono...this cannot be happening right now." He hurriedly took out his phone and opened it. The moment he opened it, the app he had forgotten to close popped with and it refreshed.

Before he could close it.

An advertisement appeared before his eyes.

Seeing the product on promotion he exclaimed, "I knew it. The government is watching us!"
