I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Blood Donation Plan, Finally Fattened Up Humanity

Dawn City needed to establish its own commercial system step by step.

The market couldn’t be cultivated in a day, especially under the current circumstances where Dawn City was experiencing a severe shortage of supplies.

However, Lide believed that after the spring of the next year, the land could be cultivated, and this situation would start to improve.

The land was the foundation for the residents, and the agricultural products produced would greatly enrich the resources of Dawn City.

After Lide had planned how the future market would develop, another piece of work reported by Harrison invigorated him.

“Clan Leader, the human blood donation experiment project has made progress.”

Blood donation experiments, the human sustenance strategy for the Bloodline, a sustainable development strategy.

A series of titles surfaced in Lide’s mind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

More than a month ago, during the Wild Wolf Gang’s rebellion, Lide sent those who had participated in the crimes to the magic laboratory for Harrison to conduct blood drawing experiments.

To find an interval that was harmless to human health.

Earthlings could donate blood 2 to 3 times a year, 400 milliliters at a time, and this interval would not affect their health.

But humans in Glory World were much stronger than those on Earth, so to obtain accurate data, Lide arranged for Harrison to perform comparative group experiments.

After over a month of research, Harrison had obtained a relatively accurate set of data.

“Clan Leader, the twenty-two sets of experimental data were divided into seven groups, with four people in one group.

We did comparisons by drawing different amounts of blood and frequencies, and finally, we concluded that@@novelbin@@

a healthy person could only be drawn once every seven days, and the quantity could not exceed 300 milliliters. After seven days, the body would return to normal, allowing for a second drawing.

After a month-long experiment with sufficient food supplement, an ordinary person’s frequency could increase to drawing blood every six days.

After our meticulous testing, as long as it does not exceed this value, humans will quickly recover to normal without affecting their health.”

Being able to donate 300 milliliters of blood every seven days, and even compress it to six days with sufficient food?

Lide was shocked by this news; he had considered the possibility that the people of Glory World might be tougher and stronger than those on Earth, but he hadn’t expected the blood donation interval to compress from half a year to a week.

Such physical quality was a complete overpowering of Earth’s humans.

However, it might not just be a matter of physical quality—Lide sensed the magic power floating outside his body and had some understanding.

This was a world of magic, and Magic Power was one of the most fundamental elements of this world.

Therefore, it would be one-sided to use Earth’s thinking to speculate on this world.

Earth couldn’t conjure fireballs.

Perhaps Magic Power played a role that he was unable to detect.

“Very well, continue the experiments and be sure to obtain accurate information—I don’t want any discrepancies.”

Although Harrison had provided experimental results, Lide did not adopt them directly.

Blood donation was related to the foundation of Dawn City, and one month’s worth of experimental data was still not persuasive enough.

“Furthermore, involve another batch of the Wild Wolf Gang members who have not committed serious crimes in the experiments.

They can choose for themselves; if willing, after the experiments are completed, they can receive the treatment of ordinary residents, with land distributed equally.

If they are unwilling, they will continue with labor reform and extend the period to ten years, with no distribution after the reform is complete.”

Lide smiled slightly; he had always been democratic, although this sentence decided the fate of another batch of the Wild Wolf Gang still undergoing labor reform—at least they still had a choice, right?

If there really were people willing to choose ten years of labor reform over participating in the experiment, he welcomed it; jobs like clearing sewers and fixing toilets always needed to be done.

When the number of experiment subjects was small, there would inevitably be some deviation, but with the number reaching over a hundred, the deviation would be infinitely reduced.

Lide believed that after Frost Month, he would obtain accurate data.

Every human was a treasure of Dawn City, and the sustainable development strategy was the foundation of the future, so Lide had to ensure that no errors would occur; otherwise, if a significant problem arose after implementing this plan in the future, all his efforts would have been in vain.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

Harrison naturally wouldn’t question Lide’s orders. In fact, if Lide hadn’t initially ordered these people to undergo labor reform, Harrison would have taken them all to the laboratory.

He had no fondness for those humans intent on sabotaging Dawn City.

After Harrison had left, Lide fell deep into thought.

To be honest, the data that indicated humans could donate blood once every seven days had significantly surpassed his expectations, and this sudden news subtly altered many of his plans.

He just needed to wait for more refined data, and then he could initiate the blood donation program.

And, undoubtedly, the blood donation program had to be integrated with another potent tool—the points system.

Not just the points system, he planned to turn blood donation into an obligation that everyone must fulfill, as commonplace as paying taxes. Later, he would enact relevant policies.

Of course, the points system was exceptionally effective at motivating the populace; he wouldn’t even need to introduce coercive measures, as the civilians would be tripping over each other to donate blood for points.

The point system had been causing an increasing stir within Dawn City recently.

Particularly the members of the Security Team and the Logistics Team, who were the first to receive points rewards— they had become the envy of everyone.

The strength of the point system lay in the fact that it permitted the existence of privileges, differentiating the classes between ordinary people and those with points, and what’s more intriguing is that these privileges could be earned through effort; if you had points, you too could enjoy these privileges.

This flexible system gave everyone a goal to strive for.

It could be said that having points at this stage was akin to being a noble, an object of everyone’s envy.

Firstly, there was queuing. Wherever there was a queuing system in place, members of the Security Team and the Logistics Team with more than five points did not have to queue.

Every time the Security Team finished their shifts and went to City Hall to handle affairs, they would cut the long lines, a sight that made everyone else burn with jealousy.

And such privileges occurred in various situations.

In stores, those with points could purchase goods first; City Hall, when recruiting temporary staff, would hire those with points first…

While each instance may appear trivial, collectively, they made a palpable difference to everyone.

The word “privilege” was irresistibly tantalizing.

Never underestimate humanity’s fascination with such overt superiority— even on Earth, such privileges were sought after by countless people.

If the modern world’s populace couldn’t avoid it, all the more so for a group of ordinary civilians who’d seldom experienced much of the world.

Therefore, aside from land and Mage Tower, points were the most talked-about topic in Dawn City these days.

Everyone was nearly scrambling to find out if there were new ways to earn points, a currency that could assert one’s status on all fronts.

However, regretfully, aside from the methods announced on the public notice boards— like farming and paying taxes— there were no other ways to earn them yet.

This spurred residents to talk even more eagerly about the points.

Although it hadn’t yet erupted on the surface, Lide had no doubt that people would go into a frenzy the moment an opportunity to earn points emerged.

“Not to mention donating blood once every seven days is harmless to the human body, even if it were doubled to once every half month, that would be sufficient,”

Lide mused with satisfaction.

“Calculating at once every half month, 300 milliliters each time, that would be 600 milliliters in a month.

Out of the 6,500 people in Dawn City, excluding the elderly and children, let’s calculate with 5,000 people.

The Bloodline would need about 3,000 milliliters of donated blood each month; that means five people could sustain one of the Bloodline.”

After some rough calculations, a flicker of surprise crossed Lide’s eyes, and the final data greatly exceeded his expectations.

Just with the current population of 6,500 people in Dawn City, they could sustain a Bloodline population of 1,000.

Although this calculation was very crude and not entirely accurate, even if it were reduced by a factor of three, sustaining seven or eight hundred of the Bloodline wouldn’t be a problem.

It seems the Bloodline is about to rise?

A radiant smile graced Lide’s lips.

It appeared he foresaw the day when tens of thousands of the Bloodline with fluttering bat wings would soar over Dawn City.

He was truly looking forward to it.
