I Became the Progenitor Vampire Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79 The Offering of Love Begins

After Porter, the main culprit, was personally executed by Lide through hanging, Dawn City regained its former peace, and the rumors about the Bloodline ceased to exist.

The remaining accomplices of the Wild Wolf Gang also met with no good end; to make an example of them was to be thorough–these people were stripped of their rights to land allocation and were also sentenced to labor reformation in Dawn City for three to five years.

Most of this group had been coerced or enticed by Porter to join the Wild Wolf Gang, many of whom had never engaged in robbery or extortion, merely bystanders.

However, since they had joined the Wild Wolf Gang, they had to bear the corresponding consequences. Lide had no interest in persuading or educating them.

The city's future construction still required manpower, and these fellows were all assigned to brick moving for labor reformation.

Seeing the miserable fate of these people, many of the residents of Dawn City were terrified, many of whom had barely refrained from joining, fortunately for them.

Had they actually participated, they would have met with the same fate.

For a time, the moral climate of Dawn City cleared up, achieving the maximum effect of making an example out of someone.

Among them, those who had followed Porter in committing extortion and breaking the law were ordered by Lide to contribute to Dawn City in another way.

Lide had now realized how precious the Magic Blood in the blood pool was; if it weren't for the Magic Blood, even capturing Emi last night would have come at a horrendous cost.

Such a miraculous Magic Potion being used merely as food for the Bloodline seemed like a huge waste.

Thus, his originally planned strategy for sustainable development of human Bloodline sustenance was to be moved forward.

The Bloodline Sustainable Development Strategy was simple, which was to let humans voluntarily donate blood without harming their bodies.

As for the method to encourage voluntary donation, the newly introduced scoring system was the groundwork laid for this purpose.

After a certain number of donations, one could obtain certain scores, and he would directly link the act of donating blood with scores.

Considering the precious nature of scores, Lide believed no one could resist such temptation.

However, before the specific number of donations and the score exchange system were finalized, Lide needed to determine the physical condition of humans in the Glory World, or more precisely, how frequently blood could be drawn without harming human bodies.

Scientific proof showed that drawing blood 2 to 3 times a year, about 400 milliliters each time, is harmless to humans on Earth.

But humans in this world were much stronger than those on Earth, perhaps due to the magic infused in the air, even teenagers aged 13 or 14 could possess or even surpass the physical quality of Earth's adults.

And the adults were even stronger.

Thus, Lide needed to perform a series of verifications to determine how frequently blood could be drawn from humans without harm, and the criminals from Porter's Wild Wolf Gang were undoubtedly the best choice for experimentation.

Lide would not directly kill these people; he would still let them engage in brick moving for labor reformation after the experiments.

But since they had extorted the civilians, this experiment could be considered their contribution to Dawn City.

These civilians were refugees, after all, if not for Dawn City providing food for free, the belongings they had were for keeping their lives safe; the Wild Wolf Gang robbing them of their possessions was no different from killing them.

Thus, Lide wouldn't show any leniency towards these pseudo murderers.

Among them, the twenty who had committed the most severe crimes were assigned to Harrison for research, and he was tasked to group them according to their numbers and conduct comparative data experiments, to come up with a number and timing of blood withdrawal completely harmless to humans.

Harrison assured that he would take great care of these criminals, striving not to let them die too quickly.

It could be said that after this step, Dawn City's sustainable development strategy had finally been set on the right track.

The plan for humans to sustain the Bloodline officially began.

Of course, the specific experimental data would still take some time to be finalized.

In the future, the number of donations would be linked with scores, and once the data was available, the exchange ratio between the two could be determined.

A key issue now was letting the residents of Dawn City understand the value of the scores.

Tonight was merely a verbal explanation, many people only half-understood, not yet forming a concrete concept of what scores were.

So, Lide's current focus was to make the residents recognize the value of the scores.

How to make them understand? Very simple.

Treat them differently.

Queuing up, those with scores could take the priority lane, those without scores had to wait patiently.

Distributing food, those with scores could be served first, those without scores had to wait honestly.

Allocating land, those with higher scores could be allocated first, those without scores had to line up.

Even for entering new departments that would be established later, those with scores could enter first.

And there was also the matter of land tax, which he had announced today. Ten points could be used to pay only twenty percent as taxes, twenty points to pay just ten percent.

With various temptations, Lide did not believe these people would remain calm.

Moreover, for now, there was only one way to obtain points–farming and paying taxes. It was foreseeable that these people would soon be frantically asking about ways to earn points.

When most people were aware of the preciousness of points and had no other means to obtain them, the policy that blood donation could earn points would be introduced.

Even if initially some were hesitant and fearful, as long as someone led the way, sooner or later, blood donation would become a frantic race among the residents of Dawn City.

Other than the matter of points, expanding the Bloodline was also to be put on the daily agenda.

Although Porter's incident was an accident, and he had gained quite a few benefits from it.

He certainly did not want to witness such events again; the root cause was simply that the Bloodline numbers were too low.

If there were now a thousand members, would these people dare to rebel? Just standing there could scare people to death.

Even Amy, the blasphemer, would have to keep her head down.

But expanding the numbers would need some strategies.

Slowly, Lide stroked his chin, starting to form an idea.

As the rulers of Dawn City, the Bloodline had to make everyone dream of becoming one, and it must not be perceived as an easy feat for humans.

The more precious, the more coveted.

The next day.

Early in the morning, a crowd gathered near the announcement board in the square.

A few literate members of the Security Team were assigned to explain to the people nearby.

Raymond, who had made great merits by reporting the Wolf Gang, was granted permission by Lide to join the Security Team.

And this guy happened to be literate, so this morning, he was sent by the Bloodline in charge of the Security Team to explain the points system to the crowd.

“Listen up, everyone, I'm Raymond from the Security Team. Today, I'm responsible for explaining the role of points to you all.”

Raymond's tone was filled with pride. As a member of the Security Team personally appointed by the City Lord, he felt immensely honored.

“Last night, the Kachar City Lord formally established the function of points by law.

Everyone can check it themselves; for those who can't read, I'll explain it to you.”

“Points are the most important wealth for every resident of Dawn City, representing honor and your contributions to Dawn City.”

“So what is the use of points?”

The crowd below listened intently, curious about this novel concept.

Although Lide had spoken about it last night, it was rather vague, and most people were still confused.

Anthony also arrived early at the square; unable to squeeze into the crowd, he stood on tiptoes outside the crowd to listen to Raymond's explanation.

“First, from now on, all key locations in Dawn City that require queuing will set up two channels; those with more than five points can use the priority channel, while those without five points will have to queue.”

The crowd below had no reaction to this point; it was just a priority channel.

Anthony's eyes brightened, a priority lane, that seemed like a privilege only nobles had.

“Second, regarding food distribution, those who have reached five points can collect their food first during the distribution, while those who have not reached five points will have to queue.”

Hmm? This regulation stirred some murmurs among the crowd.

Food distribution was crucial to their livelihood, and with their land and savings gone, the free food from Dawn City was their only source of sustenance.

“Third, when distributing land, those with higher points can choose first, while those without points will have to queue.”

This could also be prioritized? The crowd suddenly became agitated; the land was undoubtedly their most critical concern.

Having points meant some distribution; did this mean that the good land would be taken by others? No one could stay calm now, everyone started discussing how they could earn points.

On the outskirts of the crowd, Anthony listened intently. By now, he understood that points would play a significant role in the future of Dawn City, but how could one obtain points?

Not just him, everyone was eagerly awaiting the announcement of how to earn points.
