Soon, several cheap newspapers in New York began advertising blood donors.

John left the matter to Kelly, and the price offered to those who exchanged blood for bread was very tempting - giving 400 milliliters of blood did not affect health, but it would give five dollars in cash, which was almost the average person's income for a week!

In a short period of time, of course, there is no effect.

Just like China's blood army a hundred years later, it is not promoted by advertising or anything, but by word of mouth between people. There is no shortage of people in any era and in any country who are willing to get something for nothing, or who are willing to exchange their health for money, not to mention that it is very clear in the advertisement that a few hundred milliliters of blood each time will not affect health. With the arrival of the first textile mill worker interested in exchanging blood for money, John knew that the time would not be too far before the first blood bank was established......

……

"Heh......"

Long eyelashes flick slightly, Anna? Brister ...... No, it should be Anna? Huntelaar awoke from his sweet sleep.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on the girl's face.

Although she hasn't opened her eyes yet, the girl's smile is so sweet at this time, and a ray of sunlight sneaking in through the gap in the mopping curtains shines on her face, shining the fine fluff on her white and tender face, and with the hair scattered at the head of the bed, it is as exciting as a goddess statue lying horizontally!

Stretching her waist, Anna subconsciously hugged her side.

"Huh?"

After a pounce, Anna opened her eyes. Today is the weekend, the day when everyone is resting at home, and when she opens her eyes, John's absence makes Anna a little disappointed.

But......

Looking up at the sunlight through the cracks in the curtains, I heard a faintly familiar voice in my ears. Anna quickly grinned, rolled over and got out of bed and began to clean up. It's the weekend, and John doesn't go to work since he returned to New York, and after hearing those voices again, she can roughly guess what her husband is doing now......

Behind the big house of the Huntelaar family, there is a lot of luxury in owning a vacant lot.

The area of this vacant lot is almost half an acre. It was just downstairs in John's bedroom, which was now completely encircled. When it came time to build his new home, John insisted that old Huntelaar buy the vacant land, paying a five-figure dollar for it. Of course, this is really nothing compared to the total investment of the big house, so even if old Huntelaar felt that it was a little too extravagant, he finally bought it at John's insistence.

On this vacant lot, John built two sports fields.

One is the tennis courts, which are now popular in the United States, after the sport was introduced to the United States more than two decades ago. Soon after, the first tournament began, and tennis became popular in the United States. John didn't watch tennis in his previous life and had little interest in it, but Anna was a tennis enthusiast - the mixed doubles tournament was already around the face of many women, and it was no longer a sport for women to play tennis.

As for the other venue......

"Bang!"

A ball slammed into the high hoop with a crisp crashing sound, and then bounced back high. After bouncing off the ground a few times, obediently returned to John? In the hands of Mr. Huntelaar.

"Not bad!"

Squeezing the ball in his hand hard, John nodded with great satisfaction and said, "The elasticity is good." It's also very sturdy, and I'm very satisfied with this sample! Mr. Elber, just produce ten more according to this standard, and send them to me next week! ”

"Yes, sir."

Hans, the butler who was standing on the side, nodded and said respectfully.

Although the housekeeper did not quite understand the sport that his little master had just invented. He also had a lot of criticism about the custom balls, which cost up to a dozen dollars each, but he wouldn't say anything against John's decision. After all, even if it is expensive, it is only a dozen dollars, and it can be a lot cheaper to make ten, so there is no need to upset little Mr. Huntelaar because of this.

But......

After thinking for a while, the butler still smiled and asked, "Sir." What is the name of the sport you invented? ”

“basketball！”

Without hesitation, John replied with a smile: "When you go back, you have someone to put a net made of thick rope on the iron rings, I like to listen to the sound of the ball smashing into the net......"

Basketball, one of the world's three largest balls in the future, appeared in New York two years ahead of schedule.

John didn't actually have much interest in robbing physical education teacher James. Naismith's business invented basketball in advance, but he already plans to promote basketball in the upcoming medical school to improve the physical fitness of students, after all, football is so barbaric that it is difficult to avoid injuries to students, basketball is undoubtedly a good choice. It's just that John doesn't know when basketball was invented in history, and he can't wait.

As he spoke, Henry, the coachman, Su Li, the cook, and another young and strong servant all came to the basketball court.

"Smack!"

John pushes the ball with a standard two-handed push, and the basketball flies into the hands of Chef Su Li. Although the other party noticed the flying basketball, but did not catch it, the slippery ball quickly fell to the ground, and Henry next to him hurriedly picked it up.

"Gentlemen, let's get started!"

Looking at the three strong young men in front of him, John's hands suddenly itched.

He hadn't played basketball for twenty years since he was reborn, and he had almost forgotten what it was like to play, and the basketball he tried to make a few days ago was either too elastic or not strong enough, which made John, who was a pseudo-basketball enthusiast in his previous life, very unhappy. Today, he finally sent a basketball that was still alive, and he naturally called Henry and the others early. A few days ago, he had already handed over the rules and basic skills of basketball to the three of them, and today he naturally wanted to play a happy game!

"Yes, sir!"

With a hard slap of his hands, Henry's face was full of excitement.

They are all young people who are not very old, and they are all full of energy after work, so they are naturally very interested in this new game invented by John, and as soon as John greets them, the three guys happily join in......

Half an hour later, Anna was on the edge of the basketball court.

In the morning, under the not-so-strong sunlight, John turned around and jumped high!

"Bang!"

Basketball goes to the net!

Looking at her husband's sturdy figure, for some reason, Anna's pretty face suddenly turned red. In Anna's eyes, the tall John was much more agile than the other three, and his speed and strength were more perfect, full of male charm, but the other three looked very stiff in their movements, as if their joints lacked lubricating oil. Of course, if John knew what his wife was thinking now, he would probably tell her very seriously that the other three were too far behind him in terms of physical flexibility and other qualities because of their lack of nutrition since childhood and lack of exercise......

Seeing Anna walking to the sidelines, and then looking at Henry and the others who were already out of breath, John laughed and waved his hand: "Okay gentlemen, let's stop here today!" But your stamina is too bad, isn't it? It's only been less than half an hour, and that's it, and it seems that you have to strengthen your exercise in the future! ”

"Uh......"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

John's physical condition in this life is really good, with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, coupled with adequate nutrition and moderate exercise, he is just a slight breath for half an hour. But the three of them are not as good as each other physically, and they are usually squeezed by the pressure of life, so they haven't exercised much at all, and they can't be compared with John at all......

"Honey, are you going to play with me in this outfit?"

After Henry and the others left, John came to Anna, who was dressed in simple clothes, and asked with a smile while taking a towel to wipe her sweat.

"Of course!"

With her cheeks puffed up, Anna nodded confidently and said, "Yesterday I was in a bad state, so I lost two balls to you, a novice, and I definitely won't do it today!" ”

"Oh?"

Hey Hey, John threw the towel on the chair next to him and picked up the tennis racket he had brought a long time ago: "Let's go, I just started moving, let's try to ......" (to be continued.) )
