Chapter 329: Chapter 55 Welcome to Shuishu Park!
“Welcome to Shuishu Park.”
The man who spoke was named Su Ling, and he wore a white overcoat, his appearance scholarly and refined.
Behind him, the cabinet was filled with specimen bottles, each brimming with a golden liquid. Brown beetles with contorted joints were soaked inside, occasionally twitching. Despite being immersed in a concentrated formalin solution, these beetles still maintained their vitality.
However, after the nuclear storm, beetles like these swarmed the wilderness, their presence here serving merely as decoration.
The room was a spacious salon for receiving guests, with deep red velvet carpets and dazzling golden chandeliers. Around thirty or so people were gathered, some lounging on sofas, others standing aside, sipping sparkling wine, and still others resting with eyes closed.
These were the last few scenes of memory fragments brought to Li Yan by the Memory Bullet. After numerous indescribable fierce battles and schemes, the Shuishu Park salon meeting was successfully convened amidst the brutal wasteland of Earth.
This was one Shuishu Park meeting, and it was also the one that would set the agenda for the Qiong Qi operation.
“As everyone knows, the most inheritances a Proxy Traveler can hold are five. Reaching a 100% Awakening Degree in any one inheritance and acquiring the ability of Proxy Inheritance is the sign of a Seven Palaces level Proxy Traveler.”
Su Ling stood in the middle, speaking confidently.
“And what inheritance brings us is a special ability derived from one of the ten natural categories. You may use magic, divine powers, supernatural abilities, or any other term to describe it. Besides, inheritance can also extend our lifespan and improve our physical qualities.”
“However, even if a Proxy Traveler strengthens an inheritance to a 100% Awakening Degree, he can only bring us strength ten times the limit of an ordinary human, and that is only in one particular aspect.”
Su Ling slumped his hand: “But this figure can’t be quantified. Simply put, a Fur Class Proxy Traveler’s skin can barely withstand bullets from a regular PPK pistol.”
As he spoke, a sleek black pistol slid out of his sleeve. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger toward a sturdy man beside him.
Bang!
The man raised his hand, and with a ting, the yellowish bullet fell to the ground.
Su Ling offered an apologetic smile to the man, then continued to explain to the crowd: “Of course, the theory that a Fur Class Proxy Traveler can only resist bullets is just that, a theory. I suppose even if an underground bomb exploded right in front of us, none of you would bat an eye,”
He spoke as if he were an orator with victory at his fingertips.
“But in reality, take the Feather Class inheritance as an example, aside from the inherited Dharma Phase abilities, the Yan Fu Heritage gives a Feather Class Proxy Traveler only a lifespan of two hundred years and the ability to sprint a hundred meters in a second. Of course, each Feather Class inheritance has specific strengths, some are adept at explosive sprints, some at long-distance running, some have extraordinary neurological reactions, some strike as fast as lightning; but I will not go into that here.”
He spoke while shaking his head: “Relying on the Dharma Phase Incarnation, turning mountains upside down is nothing for a Seven Palaces Proxy Traveler, yet their flesh is so fragile. Even if they strengthen all five inheritances to 100% Awakening Degree, it is still far from sufficient. Compared to some higher tier fruits, they may not even match the children of some special races. Everyone understands that for a Yan Fu Proxy Traveler, no matter how strong the Dharma Phase Incarnation is, once the body perishes, both form and spirit are destroyed.”
“We also have various fruits to strengthen the body.”
Someone interjected.
“Of course, why else would I call you all here?”
Su Ling nodded: “But the enhancement from fruit types is external, foreign, a state, an extension of skills. Relying on these to strengthen the body, the moment you exceed your own inheritance’s strength, you will get stuck with that fruit, and returning becomes very troublesome.”
“We know you have achieved results… stop beating around the bush, let us see them.”
Su Ling glanced at the speaker.
“Alright.”
With a snap of his fingers, a soldier, his expression blank, walked in from outside.
“Genetically Modified Agents, ‘Punk Fire’, produced by Tanya Mining, mainly enhance strength and agility. Additionally, they grant the user a certain level of fire control.”
The speaker pinched the cork of a wine bottle on the table and flicked it towards the soldier. With a wet thud, a hole burst through the soldier’s shoulder, and he let out a pained yell, stumbling backwards.
“Is that it?”
The cold voice sneered.
“If you hadn’t entered Yan Fu, he would kill you in one second.”
“Such a lousy hypothetical has no meaning.”
“It does if in the eyes of Yan Fu, such a soldier is considered an ordinary person without any enhancement.”
“What are you trying to say…”
The person was halfway through speaking when they suddenly realized something.
“This fruit, before I arrived, had no superhuman abilities whatsoever, do you all understand what I mean?”
Su Ling’s gaze became serious.
“It’s identical to our fruit, Heaven Jiazi Nine, devoid of any superhuman powers. The humans here are the only ones I’ve found among thousands of fruits that are almost exactly the same as the Heaven Jiazi Nine Fruits. The genetically modified agents designed from the humans here as a template and the compatibility of the Yan Fu Heritage, is a hundred percent.”
He pointed to the man who had just spoken: “When you entered Yan Fu, you worked in the drug enforcement team, your physical functions and cognitive abilities were top-notch among ordinary people. After the heritage enhancement, it was merely your ordinary human template enhanced tenfold. And him…”
Su Ling pointed to the soldier who had been injured before: “Once he receives the heritage enhancement, he will enhance the ‘Punk Fire’ template tenfold!”
After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly intensified.
The strength of these genetic potions themselves weren’t impressive enough to catch the Proxy Traveler’s eye, but if… after taking the potion, it equals entering Yan Fu on a superhuman template, with the unique heritage enhancement offering a tenfold increase on this basis, then these genetically modified agents overflowing in the harsh winter would become mythical-level miracle drugs comparable to legendary consumables.
“Some high-position heritage enhancements are not for physical strength but deeper things.”
Another Proxy Traveler asked.
“Tian Wu, right, I remember you. The Tianwu Heritage, representing the water deity, is one of the rare ones where the Awakening Degree increases not the physical strength but the so-called ‘water control’ ability. No matter how strong your Dharma Phase Incarnation is, your water control ability is hard to enhance past the 100% Awakening Degree limit, and to strengthen such abilities, the Yan Fu secrets required are too precious and rare…”
Su Ling said this, then changed the subject: “Pompeii Armaments is developing a second-order soldier named ‘Water Beire’, which has only average abilities but possesses basic water manipulation skills. Paired with your Tianwu, conservatively estimated, your water control ability could be increased several times over…”
“No proof, though!”

The man’s tone became excited.
Su Ling slowly sat down, methodically taking out a box and pushing it toward the man.
“This is a trial version, with some side effects, but you can handle them given your foundation.”
Su Ling’s eyes were unfathomably deep: “So gentlemen, are you on my side now?”
Someone pondered: “But Zhao Jianzhong…”
“If he doesn’t agree, he’ll only fall increasingly behind us.”
Su Ling emphasized the word ‘us’.
Almost everyone straightened up silently after he finished this sentence.
“You know the value of this item. Some Proxy Travelers need templates for which the corresponding potions have not yet been developed, so I propose that with each new high-tier genetic potion created, we hold a trade meeting here, like a private club. We would conduct fair trade, with the rule being that the genetic potions are not to go on public auction in Yan Fu but only be acquired with the revenue from this fruit or at my Shuishu Park. You can purchase them at the salon if unwilling, or you can get them directly from the fruit. By the way, I have already picked this fruit. There will be an entrance fee, and I will issue all Yan Fu events for this fruit. As for the rewards, they will also be collected at meetings in Shuishu Park.”
…
When the hurried Shuishu Park meeting ended, Su Ling suddenly turned his head, looking in the direction Li Yan was staring.
“Know that you don’t trust the drug, when it concerns nearly a hundred Proxy Travelers, and I don’t want to seek death… If you’re really worried, use the Earth Endurance’s fake identity to start your own team to study the potion. Don’t touch Black Star, how about Yunhai Pharmaceuticals? After all, you’ve helped me a lot; consider it my repayment.”
Su Ling plucked a Barrett sniper rifle model from the cabinet.
“The trigger is a token; anytime you want to visit my backyard, I’ll be waiting.”
Li Yan opened his eyes, exhaling a deep breath. He stood silently for a while, unsure of what expression to make.
“I left some things here, take as much as you can.”
At that time, Yu Shu’s note read so.
Bang~~
Teacup hit the ground.
Qiao Xing swallowed hard, Liang Zhengyong and Liang Wei both turned to stare at him.
“Sorry…”
His face was ashen.
