After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain

Chapter 053: This petty fish is really scary.


This chapter is translated by Kris Xian, translation checked by Kensi, and edited by Bluburry.


It was already six in the morning when Lu Yan returned to the hotel.

Xu Guanyue’s expression still showed his unease. “You just killed the security guards… What will you do if you are discovered?”

“That won’t happen.” Lu Yan looked calm.

The shore was not heavily monitored because of the terrain. In addition, thanks to the System’s help, Lu Yan remained in the surveillance’s blind spots.

Xu Guanyue appeared to hesitate before asking, “Did the Headquarters send you alone?”

He didn’t know exactly what level Lu Yan currently was, but Lu Yan’s overly beautiful appearance always filled Xu Guanyue with worry.

Lu Yan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I am more than enough to destroy this place.”

The pattern on the human skin had changed. It was originally a weird starry sky map, but now it had become a narrow black eye.

System, [The pattern is always random. The Holy God has a split personality, and the different patterns represent what kind of personality state he is in at the moment.]

Lu Yan once again applied the human skin to the back of his hand.

A much colder sensation came from the back of his hand compared to the last time he had used it.

He closed his eyes and entered the dream world. At the same time, the eye on the back of his hand looked around, eventually becoming a real eyeball.

The System said, [Brother. You’re too late, he already has another parasite on him.]

Nevertheless, the eyeball couldn’t hear, or, even if it did, it didn’t care.

After all, it’s part of a body stripped from an S-class Pollutant. Ordinary parasitic creatures couldn’t beat it.

It bulged from the back of Lu Yan’s hand and wanted to explore.

As a result, the palm of Lu Yan’s hand suddenly split open, a long red tongue jumped out and clenched into a fist, backhandedly slapping the wandering eyeball.

The eyeball was punched until it was dizzy and its sclera1White part of the eye was bloodshot. It could only shrink back into Lu Yan’s hand in grievance.

The Kingfish hadn’t vented enough. He immediately sent a chaotic combination of punches. It forced the eyeball to form back into a real tattoo, and only then did it cease its attacks and withdrew in satisfaction.

The System couldn’t help shivering, […This petty fish is really scary.]

In the dream, Lu Yan saw a gloomy blackness.

A little candle flame lit up from the palm of his hand. This candlelight was the key  for him to gather the rest of the souls.

On this floor, all the sleeping white souls floated over following this warm light.

It was much easier for ordinary people to enter a dream than Enlightens.

The white souls buzzed, full of wonder, “Who are you?”

“Where is this?”

“Wow, my hands have become translucent, eh!

Lu Yan placed the candlelight on the table in front of him. He held out his hand and saw the color of his soul. Black. However, it was inexplicably bright, edged with a warm yellow glow. It was like a burning fire.

He thought about Chen Anzhi; his demeanor and tone changed, “I am the island god of Mermaid Island. It is isolated from the world, and the Mermaids live happily on the seaside. However, one day, the establishment of the Mermaid Clubhouse changed all that.”

“The life of each and every one of you is at stake. I hope you can remember it well…”

The manner in which Lu Yan told the story resembled a huckster.

After dozens of white souls heard the salaciousness of the Mermaid Clubhouse, many of them burned with anger, “This is too hateful! We’ll leave the island tomorrow and expose them!”

Lu Yan said, “You may not be able to remember when you wake up from your sleep. I can only deliver the message in this way. Beware of the Mermaid Clubhouse.”

He wasn’t a spiritual Enlightened, and performing an entry into a dream was far more exhausting than one might think.

Therefore, after a few minutes, the dream ended, and Lu Yan fell deep asleep.


The bodies of the two security guards were eventually found in the fish pond.

The first to notice was a tourist taking their morning walk around the bay early in the morning.

From afar, he saw two sets of drenched clothes stuck on the beach.

This tourist initially thought that someone was drying clothes on the beach, but when he walked over and lifted them up, he was almost scared half to death.

The corpses’ pants hung from their knees, and only bitten skeletons remained on the exposed parts. On the snow-white bones, pieces of pink flesh were stuck to them.

On the other side of the reef, the Mermaids smiled softly. Their nails seemed to be tinged with a bit of blood.

Shaking, the tourist pulled out his cell phone and tried to call the police, but there was no signal.

Here, the only two things that could be called were the customer service center of the Mermaid Clubhouse and the landline phone in the guest rooms.

When the captain of the Mermaid Clubhouse’s security team received the notice, he felt like his head would explode, “What happened to these two people? Two people, with a combined spiritual power threshold of 3,000, can still be bitten to death by Mermaids with a pollution level less than 500? ”

A thousand or so spiritual power threshold may have the primary level of E or D when placed in the Headquarters. Nevertheless, considering the captain of SpecOps’ 7th Team, even Lin Sinan’s spiritual power threshold hadn’t reached 2,000 yet.

At first, the three-meter tall Osta Lu Yan had encountered on the street had only a pollution value of more than 500.

The captain called the supervisor. The two of them made their way from the hotel all the way to the beach, with no one else on the road.

All he could see was a group of Mermaids biting and gnawing at the bodies of the two guards like they were on a rampage, ripping their heads off and kicking them as balls.

If no tourists had found out, this would have been a trivial matter— at best two losers who couldn’t control their lower bodies were killed by Pollutants. They only needed to pay some pension to the family and be done with it.

Unfortunately, it was a tourist who found them and called a large crowd to watch.

The incident soon spread among the tourists on the first floor. Many people were suddenly in no mood to appreciate the beautiful Mermaids and asked for refunds to return back home.

The lobby manager stepped forward to make amends, “I’m sorry for such an accident. Nonetheless, our Mermaids won’t harm guests. These two guards were trying to steal the Mermaids in the middle of the night in violation of the law, and only then were they counterattacked by them. ”

“Please rest assured, later, all the Mermaids will be accompanied by the staff for everyone to watch. Please feel free to spend 2 weeks of leisure time in the Mermaid Clubhouse. We have been notified that this vacation is all free. One million will be refunded to everyone’s balance account within seven working days after returning.”

The staff wasn’t worried about what would happen to the guests when they returned.

Anyway, with the Mermaid’s song, they would only remember spending a pleasant half-a-month holiday.

According to reason, most tourists would accept this compensation of getting back their million. At most, only one or two would protest in dissatisfaction. However, this time, after he finished speaking, there were still dozens of people who surrounded him and insisted on returning.

These dozens of people, without exception, were all people Lu Yan had met in the dream.

After they woke up, they didn’t remember what happened in the dream, but they inexplicably felt animosity toward the Mermaid Clubhouse. Even the Preparatory Mermaids — Shang Zhou and Ma Jie — also felt the same way.

The manager instantly showed a gloomy expression, “Do you know how much it costs to make a round-trip cruise? As long as I can collect 50 million immediately, I will let the crew prepare.”

Grey-tailed guests were considered successful people in normal society. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be willing to spend 1 million just to travel.

It was just that coming up with 50 million right away was beyond their scope of ability.

“What a scam! How could such a round-trip cruise be so expensive?!”

The manager haughtily lifted up his chin, “Then you go find another boat, or swim out on your own.”

In their eyes, Grey-tailed guests were nothing more than just meat and fish reserves. It was pretty hard to maintain superficial respect.

This scene also caused the other tourists, who were originally satisfied with the handling of this incident, to feel revolted.


Due to this scene, even the boss residing on the 7th floor became annoyed.

“Tell those idiots in the security team to mind their lower bodies. I don’t want this kind of thing to happen again.”

With that, he took a long leap into the infinity pool.

There were 20 large screens next to the pool, tracking the performance of the Preparatory Mermaids.

These Preparatory Mermaids were ordinary people, only their skin looked good.  When their souls were cut out and revealed, they were dull and boring.

Some were keen on fame and fortune, some simply wanted to travel, and some even slept until one in the afternoon.

Disappointed, the boss turned off the screens indifferently.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the Golden-tailed clients on the 7th floor from being bored, the boss had already found someone to arrange a different play.

What’s more, from the second week onwards, these Preparatory Mermaids would begin to distort. When that time came, it would be pleasurable to watch the desperate, helpless faces of these people.


Lu Yan was a little worried that the hotel cleaners would come in and search for things while he was not in the room.

Therefore, he simply carried the dagger with him, locked the bow and other items in his suitcase, and hid it underwater.

On the third day, according to the play, there would be a bonfire party by the sea, and the Meatfish would be driven to the shore by Xu Guanyue for the lucky “Preparatory Mermaids” to see.

Panic could make the mutation degree rapidly rise.

Lu Yan practiced several times in the room by himself, before he learned to look like he was in a panic.

The bonfire party was performed by Mermaids, and Lu Yan’s seat in the audience was placed at the outermost edge.

It was so close to the coast that Lu Yan could even feel the waves brushing his ankles.

Soon, he felt his ankle being grabbed by a hand.

Lu Yan looked back, and a few meters away, under the water, a Meatfish grinned at him.

Based on the play, he should fall to the ground and call a security guard in a panic.

Nonetheless, because the ground was too dirty, Lu Yan stiffened for close to half a minute and hadn’t moved yet, making Xu Guangyue, who was hiding behind the reef extremely anxious.

The System reassured him, [Forbearance, Host, you are someone who wants to do great things. Think of these streetlight capitalists, think of the other Ostae who suffer!]

Lu Yan’s heart fluttered, and he fell to the ground, letting the sea water mix with mud and the sand stain his body.

A strong murderous aura erupted in his heart, and he hated the streetlight capitalists like never before.

A security guard came quickly with a worried tone, “What’s the matter, Sir?”

“There’s a monster— a monster in the sea,” Lu Yan grabbed the security guard’s arm, looking panicked beyond belief, and pointed to the surface, “with a fish head and a human body. It must be a Pollutant, so terrible-looking.”

Lu Yan tried several times, but couldn’t squeeze out his tears. Thus, he just lowered his head and hugged himself, shivering.

“There’s nothing in the sea. You must have seen it wrong, Sir.” The security guard’s voice was soft, and he draped him with a blanket to shield him from the wind, “You look like you feel uncomfortable. Should I send you back to the hotel first? ”

Lu Yan nodded obediently.

A lovely and pitiful beauty that had a trace of fragility was more attractive than his usually cold expression, especially when the seawater dampened his clothes and outlined the counters of his body under his thin shirt.

The boss brought his face close to the screen and licked it with his tongue; his eyes full of obsession, “He’s so pretty, isn’t he?”

He was sure that this man would be the most perfect Mermaid this year.

Thankfully, Lu Yan couldn’t see his expressions or his actions.

He returned to the hotel accompanied by the security guard, closed the door to his room, and backhandedly pulled out the disinfectant and sprayed it on himself.

It felt disgusting and revolting.

If it wasn’t because the water source in the room was not clean with some Mermaid gene mixed in it, Lu Yan wanted to immediately take a shower and soak in water for a few days.

He lifted the glass cover under the bed and jumped into the sea. Scales emerged from Lu Yan’s arms, all the way to cover the side of his face.

These days, Lu Yan had been helping the Ostae reduce their pollution degree. He didn’t know if it was the reason that despite his distortion being manageable, it became more pronounced.

Recently, when he woke up, he would even feel some itchiness on his waist. He lifted the quilt to take a look and saw some golden scales.

The first Osta, after two days of recovery, had his fish head almost changed back to a human one. The good thing was that it still retained the ability to live underwater.

These Ostae were extremely attached to Lu Yan, similar to how the little dragon girls were attached to the Dragon Maiden at the lake.

Looking out over the bay, Mermaid Island continued its festivities.2歌舞升平 means “to make a show of happiness and prosperity.”

Thinking that he would soon be able to kill them all, Lu Yan’s mood improved.
