Blood Evolution System

The early morning of the next day, once Vincent woke up, yawned, and stretched comfortably in the bed to release the tiresome feeling in his bones, he blinked a few times before something sparked in his mind, helping him recall about something far more important than the adventure that awaits him today.

He immediately cast his gaze at the small, floating blue screen showing his blood count.

‹ Blood count: 5/50 ›

The blood stored in his vampiric heart was nearing a threatening level where he would supposedly lose control of his suppressed greed for blood and go back to the monster that sucked the blood out of more than several monsters to satisfy his thirst.

"I don\'t want that to happen." Vincent said in his mind, "It would be putting myself and the others at risk in the midst of completing the mission objectives. It will be better if I purchase a few packs of blood belonging to beasts from the market, purify and savor it to increase my blood count."

He seemed intent on avoiding future troubles through drinking a few packs of blood as if drinking a few glasses of water to increase his blood count.

His hand reached for his spatial ring placed on top of the cupboard nearby the bed where he was sitting. He took out his quantum card from the spatial storage space of the ring and proceeded to search for a store in the military academy that sells the beast\'s blood by using it.

All of the shops were selling elemental heart blood of different beasts at heart-wrenching prices, but not a single one sold the toxic blood of beasts as it didn\'t have any particular use, and barely anyone bought it.

A while later, however, his eyes widened in glee as out of all the shops, only one was selling the toxic blood of beasts.

It was the unique shop run by the student council, which he had gained access to as one of the benefits from passing the entrance examination with the highest marks in his city.

"Found my target!" He jumped up out of bed, humming in happiness. He went over to the bathroom, brushing his teeth, splashing water on his face, changing to clothes befitting of his incredibly built and muscular figure with lean and outlined abs, biceps, pecs, and pale skin, getting ready to head towards the unique shop.

A few minutes later, once Vincent walked out of the bathroom, wearing his uniform, he navigated his way to the unique store and entered it without hesitation after gaining access by verifying his identity at the door.

The unique store interior contained nothing worthy of note as it followed a simple design, white walls, and tiled floor. It was separated in two by a thin line represented by a counter and dimly lit in a mixture of blue and white.

"Welcome to the special store of the military academy, valued customer!" A mechanical-eyed, bald humanoid robot said to him from behind the counter.

"Here\'s the list of items available in the shop."

The items in the unique shop vary from time to time. One day, it might have the item a person wants, but the very next day, it might not be up for sale since most of the items in the unique store are limited in quantity.

That\'s why the item list changes regularly.

Vincent blinked his eyes in response, and he said, "Thanks, but I am only here to buy packs of blood."

"Oh, okay," the sales robot wearing a cowboy hat said. "You came to the perfect place to buy such stuff. We have a lot of them. So, what kind of elemental heart blood do you wanna purchase?"

Hearing the sales robot words, Vincent\'s eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Ah, I think you misunderstood me. As I said, I wish to purchase unpurified packs of blood belonging to beasts, not elemental heart blood."

As soon as he said those words, cowboy James weirdly looked at him.

The toxic blood, like its name, was harmful to humans and demi-humans as it acted like a deadly poison that was lethal enough to mutate or kill either of the two.

The toxic blood of beasts could only be used as poison!

It didn\'t have any other uses!

However, this poison could be traced back to its purchaser. So, it was pretty foolish to poison someone by using this blood.

"Are you selling?"

"Ah, yes, but we don\'t have a lot of it as the toxic blood of beasts isn\'t the kind of commodity that most would be interested in buying."

"How many do you have in stock?"

"Around 15."

"What\'s the price per pack?"

"It\'s 30 contribution points a pack. Though are you sure you wanna purchase the toxic blood of beasts?"

The toxic blood of beasts wasn\'t cheap as it could be used to create a variety of poison.

However, it wasn\'t costly when compared to elemental heart blood.

A single vial of elemental heart blood was far costlier compared to a packet of blood.

"Yes, indeed." Vincent nodded, and he took a deep breath before continuing, "I would like to purchase 5 packs."

A few minutes later, once Vincent had purchased the blood packs of beasts and stored them in his ring, the cowboy robot said, "I have one last thing to say before you leave. The toxic blood in each pack contains a serial number of its own, which can be traced back to the purchaser with the help of a special method. If someone happens to die due to poisoning and it gets traced back to the serial number of the blood in the packs you purchased, you\'ll get in a lot of trouble. However, it won\'t be a problem if you use it to kill criminal scums who are better dead than alive."

"Ah, sure," Vincent nodded.

Honestly, what it said didn\'t concern him as he was planning to purify the blood and consume it to increase his strength and blood count.

Though it was a nice heads up.

After leaving the store and walking around the campus, Vincent reached the safest place where he could drink blood without anyone noticing!

It was undoubtedly the lower heaven of wisdom, the library!

After the privacy barrier was erected around him, hiding him from the eyes of others, he proceeded to purify each pack of blood before consuming them by using his innate racial traits.

One by one, he drank the purified blood directly from the five packets, and in the end, a few notifications popped up in front of him.

‹ Your Strength has increased to 61 points ›

‹ Your Agility has increased to 69 points ›

‹ Your blood count has been refilled to 50 units of blood ›

‹ Maximum capacity of blood storable in the Sangue Heart has been reached ›

Confusion arose in his heart as he looked at the semi-transparent screens.

"Why did my stats increase by so little?" Vincent said in his mind.

‹ It\'s because you\'ve become far stronger than you were once before. The stronger you become, the more powerful blood you will need to consume to increase your strength. The blood of weak magical beasts isn\'t powerful enough to strengthen your body by a wide margin. The blood of demonic beasts will be truly helpful to you right now ›

Hearing its words, Vincent\'s confusion cleared up.

At that very moment, he received a message from his friends, asking where he was and when will he come to the reception office.

He replied, [I am heading there right now. I will be there in a moment]
