I Became The Vampire Progenitor
Chapter 118: The Blood Donation Plan – Finally, Humans Have Been Fattened Up

Building Dawn City’s commercial system would take time.

A market couldn’t be cultivated overnight, especially since Dawn City was currently suffering from an extreme shortage of supplies.

However, Li De believed that the situation would improve once the land could be cultivated in the spring.

Land was the foundation for the residents, and the crops produced would greatly enrich Dawn City’s resources.

After planning the future development of the market, another report from Harrison caught his attention.

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

Blood donation experiment, the plan to sustain vampires through human blood, sustainable development strategy.

A series of terms flashed through Li De’s mind, and a smile crept onto his lips.

Over a month ago, during the Wild Wolf Gang’s rebellion, Li De sent those involved in criminal activities to the magic laboratory for Harrison to conduct blood extraction experiments.

The goal was to find a range that wouldn’t harm human health.

On Earth, people could donate blood 2-3 times a year, with each donation being 400 milliliters, without any negative impact on their health.

But humans in the world of Glory were much stronger than those on Earth. To obtain accurate data, Li De instructed Harrison to conduct comparative experiments by dividing the subjects into groups.

After over a month of research, Harrison had arrived at a relatively precise figure.

“Clan Leader, we divided the 22 experimental subjects into seven groups, with one group consisting of four people.

We compared different proportions of blood volume and frequency of extraction and finally reached a conclusion.

A healthy person can only have blood extracted once every seven days, and the amount must not exceed 300 milliliters. After seven days, their body will recover, allowing for a second extraction.

After a month of experimentation, with sufficient food supplementation, ordinary people can increase the frequency to once every six days.

Through detailed testing, we’ve determined that as long as the extraction doesn’t exceed this threshold, humans will recover quickly without any impact on their health.”

Seven days for a 300-milliliter extraction, and with adequate food, it could even be reduced to six days?

Li De was astonished by this news. He had considered that humans in the world of Glory might be more resilient and stronger than those on Earth, but he hadn’t expected the blood donation interval to shrink from six months to just one week.

This level of physical fitness completely outclassed Earth’s humans in every way.

Though perhaps it wasn’t solely due to physical strength. Li De sensed the ambient mana floating around him and began to understand.

This was a magical world, and mana was one of its fundamental elements.

Thus, using only Earth-based thinking to analyze this world was undoubtedly a mistake.

Earth couldn’t conjure fireballs.

Perhaps mana played a role that he couldn’t detect.

“Good. Continue the experiments. We must obtain precise and error-free data—I don’t want any mistakes.”

Although Harrison had provided the experimental results, Li De didn’t adopt them outright.

Blood donation was crucial to the foundation of Dawn City, and a month’s worth of experimental data wasn’t yet convincing enough.

“Additionally, bring in another batch of Wild Wolf Gang members who haven’t committed major crimes for the experiments.

They can choose for themselves. If they agree, they’ll receive the same treatment as regular residents after the experiment is complete, including land allocation.

If they refuse, they’ll continue labor reform, extending their term to ten years, with no allocation upon completion.”

Li De smiled faintly. He prided himself on being democratic. Though this decision determined the fate of another group of Wild Wolf Gang members undergoing labor reform, at least they still had a choice, right?

If someone truly preferred ten years of labor reform over participating in the experiment, he welcomed them. Someone had to handle tasks like unclogging sewers and cleaning toilets anyway.

When the sample size was small, deviations were inevitable. But now, with over a hundred participants, the margin of error would shrink significantly.

Li De believed he would obtain precise data after the Month of Deep Winter.

Every human was a valuable asset to Dawn City, and the sustainable development strategy was the foundation of the future. Therefore, Li De had to ensure there were no mistakes. Otherwise, if problems arose after implementing this plan, all his efforts would have been in vain.

“Yes, Clan Leader.”

Harrison naturally had no questions about Li De’s orders. In fact, if Li De hadn’t initially ordered these individuals to undergo labor reform, he would have taken all of them straight to the lab.

He harbored no goodwill toward these humans who intended to undermine Dawn City.

After Harrison left, Li De sank into deep thought.

To be honest, the data showing that blood could be donated every seven days far exceeded his expectations. This unexpected news quietly altered many of his plans.

Once more refined data was obtained, he could initiate the blood donation plan.

And the blood donation plan would undoubtedly need to be combined with another powerful tool—the points system.

Not only the points system, but he also intended to make blood donation a mandatory responsibility for everyone, as normal as paying taxes. Later, he would formulate related policies.

Of course, the points system was undoubtedly an excellent motivator. He wouldn’t even need to enforce compulsory measures; the commoners would scramble to donate blood just to earn points.

During this time, the points system had sparked increasingly strong reactions within Dawn City.

Especially among the first batch of security squad and logistics team members who received point rewards—they became the envy of everyone.

The strength of the points system lay in its allowance of privilege, creating a class distinction between ordinary people and those with points. What made it even more fascinating was that this privilege could be earned through effort. As long as you had points, you could enjoy this privilege.

This flexible system gave everyone a direction to strive for.

At this stage, having points was akin to being nobility, envied by all.

First, there was the queue system. In various situations, those with over five points—members of the security squad or logistics team—didn’t need to wait in line.

Every time the security squad went to the City Hall to handle affairs after work, bypassing the long lines of people waiting, the sight was enough to make everyone envious.

And such privileges extended to various other scenarios.

In stores, those with points could purchase goods first. When the City Hall recruited temporary workers, those with points were given priority.

Though each instance seemed minor, collectively they made everyone feel the difference.

The word “privilege” was incredibly enticing.

Never underestimate humanity’s desire for such obvious superiority. Even on Earth, such privileges were pursued by countless people.

Modern civilization’s humans couldn’t avoid it, let alone a group of ordinary civilians who hadn’t seen much of the world.

Thus, during this period, aside from land and the mage tower, the most discussed topic in Dawn City was points.

For something that highlighted their status in so many aspects, almost everyone was inquiring about new ways to obtain points.

Unfortunately, aside from the methods announced on the public notice board in the square—tax contributions through farming—there were no other ways to earn points.

This lack of options fueled even more active discussions among the residents about points.

Though nothing had surfaced yet, Li De had no doubt about the crowd’s enthusiasm if an opportunity to earn points arose.

“Even if donating blood once every seven days causes no harm, doubling it to once every half a month would still suffice.”

Li De felt a flicker of satisfaction.

“Let’s calculate based on twice a month. Once 300 milliliters, twice a month equals 600 milliliters.

Out of Dawn City’s 6,500 people, excluding the elderly and children, we’ll estimate 5,000 people.

Vampires require approximately 3,000 milliliters of blood per month, meaning five humans can sustain one vampire.”

After some quick calculations, Li De’s eyes widened in surprise. The final figure far exceeded his expectations.

With just Dawn City’s current population of 6,500, they could sustain 1,000 vampires.

Though this calculation was rough and not entirely accurate, even if reduced, sustaining 700-800 vampires wouldn’t be a problem.

It seemed the vampires were about to rise?

A radiant smile spread across Li De’s face.

It was as if he could already see the day when hundreds of thousands of vampires with flapping bat wings would fill the skies above Dawn City.

It was truly something to look forward to.
