I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Building the City ing……

To get rich, build roads first.

In order to have a good harvest of grain next year, the road must be repaired today.

Signboards filled with slogans were planted everywhere in Dawn City the day after Lide returned.

Even at the plaza where announcements were posted, there were people specifically explaining what these slogans meant.

Repairing the road, this was the first time Lide personally participated in a detailed task after such a long time, as he usually preferred to control the overall direction.

And as soon as the announcement of road repairs came out, within a mere half a day, the Kachar City Lord realized the residents were too distant from their lands and decided to build a road, spreading the news throughout Dawn City instantly.

The residents were thrilled, everyone was excited when they first received their lands, not finding it tiresome to travel 4 or 5 Sunshine Hours a day.

But after once or twice, over time, many grew weary.

Hearing this good news, they were all exceptionally excited.

This meant that their lives would be more convenient in the future, and praises for Lide could be heard everywhere.

Lide also had the Security Team and the logistics team propagate the benefits of road building. The residents, who had already felt the difficulty of travel, were deeply touched and didn’t have the slightest thought of opposition.

When Lide took action, he didn’t dawdle; to accelerate the progress, he directly deployed all of the Bloodline to participate, even pulling those guarding the city walls.

It must be said that concentrating efforts did indeed accomplish great things, with a full three thousand humans participating, aided by two hundred Bloodline.

The Bloodline with casting ability were not only powerful in combat but also awe-inspiring in the production process.

The Bloodline who learned the improved Mage’s Hand were like humanoid bulldozers, the crowds only needed to excavate soil in the designated areas and pile it on the road, then the Bloodline would use Mage’s Hand to flatten it, just like a road roller.

The whole process was simple and brutal, without a hint of technical content.

The plain behind the southern district stretched fifteen kilometers, but with the effort of thousands, a vast road of fifteen kilometers long that could accommodate eight carriages running side by side was built in just 7 days.

Such speed was considered astonishing in Glory World.

Interestingly, in this process, three thousand humans played merely an auxiliary role.

Over a hundred Bloodline Mages and dozens of other professionals among the Bloodline amazingly took on the main roles.

Lide witnessed the birth of this great road with his own eyes and felt heartfelt admiration for the terrifying production efficiency of magic in the production process.

However, such an event as Mages participating in road building could only occur in Dawn City. It wouldn’t be conceivable elsewhere.

Use Mages to repair roads? Only Lide could think of such a thing.

What status did Mages have? They were nobility, the absolute ruling class, their positions exalted.

Working alongside a bunch of lowly commoners, and moreover, doing something like road construction, even the most imaginative couldn’t believe such a thing could happen.

Besides, who could utilize over a hundred Intermediate Mages with Levels between 6, 7, and 8 all at once for road construction?

Even Spark, who had reached Level 19 and touched the Extraordinary Rank as a Great Mage, couldn’t possibly muster so many Intermediate Mages under his command.

Thus, what Lide did could only be described as luxurious.

However, among the Bloodline, he was the sole ruler, and these proud Vampires, no matter what, had to obediently follow his orders.

Rebellion? It was unthinkable, even the idea couldn’t arise.

No one could shake the Dignity that came from the soul, merged into the Bloodline.

Lide was very satisfied with the efficiency of this task; it was also the first time he realized how powerful it was to exert all available power on one task.

Although it was just a dirt road, if placed elsewhere, without two or three months, it wouldn’t even be a thought.

The first batch of land allocated was mostly in the central part of the plain behind the southern district, slightly closer to the south, making the distance about seven or eight kilometers.

Humans in this world were very strong, walking seven or eight kilometers through grassland in two Sun-day was not an issue.

Now after the road repair, the time was almost halved; those closer could arrive in less than a Sunshine Hour, and for those a bit farther, about a Sunshine Hour was enough.

This greatly saved the time wasted on going back and forth.

The benefits of infrastructure had been deeply felt by Lide back on Earth. After all, the title of infrastructure maniac had been carried by Huaxia for half a century, and the exaggerated contributions of infrastructure were indispensable to Huaxia’s continued rapid economic development.

In the process of this road construction, what excited him most were the Bloodline, or rather, the role of the Mages in this process.

Mages with great strength were like humanoid machines when building roads, shattering boulders with magic, and forcibly building bridges over water flows.

These construction issues, which would require serious consideration on Earth, were easily accomplished by the Bloodline Mages.

This discovery opened up a world of possibilities for Lide.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were currently too few Bloodline members, he would have really liked to form a team of Spellcaster builders.

Their production efficiency would be nothing short of dominating.

However, there are matters of priority and urgency, and there is no need for too much infrastructure in a short period of time right now.

After the road was completed, Lide tasked Audis and several second-generation Bloodline who had broken through to level 10 and become Advanced Mages, to continue leading Magic Language Bats and a hundred Bloodline to plunder human populations at the border.

Humans are the foundation for the future of Dawn City.

After the population is wealthy, the Bloodline can expand, various projects can proceed, and by then there would be no need to mobilize all the Bloodline for something like road construction as they were doing now.

Upon receiving his orders, Audis left Dawn City with all the Magic Language Bats at dusk.

By now it was already November 15th, and the temperature had significantly dropped. There was only half a month left until the arrival of Frost Month.

After entering Frost Month, the bone-chilling cold and snow would cause many activities to come to a halt. He needed to accelerate the progress of various tasks while there was still time.

First and foremost, the establishment of the blacksmith’s and tailor’s shops.

Undoubtedly, these two tasks were very important—the blacksmith’s shop was related to the sowing in the coming spring, and the tailor’s shop to this year’s Frost Month.

However, for now, even though the blacksmith’s shop had been built in these few days, it remained idle as the absence of ore left the blacksmiths helpless.

The tailor’s shop, on the other hand, had officially started operations.

43 tailors were busily making cotton clothes. These middle-aged women were very skilled, and while not the most efficient, they were still able to guarantee the production of several hundred cotton garments a day.

It’s worth mentioning that Lide did not continue the policy of giving away the newly made cotton clothes for free but instead sold them for a price slightly lower than the market value,

30 copper pucks per cotton garment.

The price was not high, but many people still couldn’t afford it… Many lost their savings when they fled their homes.

Naturally, Lide would not let such a situation occur. He had already planned to hire a large number of temporary workers to repair and refurbish Dawn City.

Wages were paid every day.

With the compensation, the residents could avoid being frozen in the winter.

At the same time, it also renovated the somewhat worn Dawn City.

It was two birds with one stone.

During these few days of road construction, a new idea occurred to Lide. He opened a bakery near the City Hall.

The bakery sold bread that was fragrant, sweet, and soft., far more delicious than the free white bread provided earlier.

He also implemented policies to encourage people to set up shops. However, due to the scarcity of supplies, those skilled enough to open a business couldn’t find the right goods to sell.

So for the short term, Dawn City only had one bakery and one tailor shop in operation.

Unexpectedly, both stores were extremely popular.

There was no need to elaborate on the tailor shop; with Frost Month right around the corner, securing a cotton garment was undoubtedly essential.

The bakery’s arrival also gave people with extra money a place to spend.@@novelbin@@

Honey bread smeared with honey, fluffy pork floss bread, and various other mouth-watering breads became a hot topic in Dawn City.

At this moment, Dawn City finally had a different vibe.

Compared to a month ago, it now felt more like a real city.
