Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Ding! Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy... for defeating a special monster and gaining 20000 experience points and 2 magic crystals. The experience points will be split equally.]

[Ding! Congratulations, player has gained 15000 experience points and 1 magic crystal.]

Xu Jiawei nodded in satisfaction after gaining 15000 experience points. This mythical equipment was really useful.

After this wave, Xu Jiawei reached level 12.

[Ding! Experience points full. Player has reached level 12 and received 1 free attribute point. The player who is the first in the entire server to reach level 12 will receive in-game rewards. There are three options: 1. Luck +1; 2. Obtain a golden weapon; 3. Random attribute points +3]

Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment and then directly chose 1.

Luck is the most important thing. Sooner or later, her luck will surpass all other attributes. Xu Jiawei clenched her fist and set her goal.

Seeing that Si Yunming was alright, the two prepared to go find their teammates who had hidden far away. The team members were still trembling with fear, having been terrified by what had just happened.

Seeing Xu Jiawei and the other person return, they scrambled out of the protective shield, crying, "Captain, you scared me to death! I thought you were dead, boohoo!"

"You guys ran pretty fast, and you did a good job. You're not good at fighting, but you're pretty good at staying alive," Xu Jiawei said.

"Of course, Captain. We are pharmacists. Although we have no combat ability, we are very skilled at escaping."

Xu Jiawei nodded. "That's right. If we don't learn combat skills, we have to learn escape skills."

She looked at the three people who were tied up. The three lowered their heads under Xu Jiawei's gaze. This woman was too strong, completely inconsistent with her appearance.

I thought I was already very strong, being in the top ten of the entire server, but compared to these men and women, I'm far inferior. How did they become so strong? I really want to learn.

"I'm asking you, what is your relationship with Lin Chengye?" Xu Jiawei asked.

The man was about to speak when Xu Jiawei interrupted him, "Think it over before you speak. If I find out you're lying..."

Xu Jiawei didn't continue speaking. Instead, she looked at the three of them with a cold smile, and the three of them were already terrified and their faces turned pale.

Xu Jiawei didn't know how to threaten him anymore, so she could only say that sometimes leaving things unsaid is a good approach.

Before he could even see these three people, he was already trembling with fear, not knowing what he was thinking.

The three of them had originally intended to hide something, but now they dared not hide it anymore.

"Boss, there were originally seven of us brothers, all players from the same server. Lin Chengye asked us to cooperate, saying he knew where to find mythical equipment," the leader of the three said.

"So you agreed?" Xu Jiawei asked casually, twirling the ring on her hand.

The leader swallowed hard, then told the truth: "Yes, we agreed, but we regretted it when we found out it was a siege. It was too late to back out, so we had no choice but to go with them."

"Lin Chengye seemed to realize that we wanted to quit, so he entrusted us with the dangerous scouting mission. Four of us died. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so indecisive, and had just quit, maybe Lin Chengye would have been wary of us because of our numbers." As he spoke, the leader burst into tears.

Xu Jiawei nodded. This person was indeed indecisive and had been slowly boiled like a frog in lukewarm water.

At this moment, one of her timid teammates said, "Captain, what he said is true. My talent is being able to detect lies."

The girl was very timid, huddled in the back, and made a weak sound.

I never expected there would be someone with such talent in her team.

"Do you all have talent?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"Captain, talented people are rare, one in a million. It's unheard of for you and that gentleman, or even all three of you, to be talented," Gu Lin said softly.

Xu Jiawei was somewhat surprised. All of their players had talents, but were those who could unlock their talents on the continent one in ten thousand? No wonder they were asked to fight against the dark creatures. Xu Jiawei had wondered before why these people on the continent, who were so much stronger than them, were sent here.

It turns out that Earthlings really do have some unique characteristics.

"Alright, then you can go." After saying that, he wanted to release the three of them. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If he let them go, they would just cause trouble for Lin Chengye.

The leader suddenly realized something: "Um, are you the one Lin Chengye attacked? Can I come with you? I also want to avenge my brothers."

These two are so strong that even if Lin Chengye had more than ten men, they probably wouldn't be a match for them. Only by following them could he have any hope of revenge, so he immediately made up his mind.

Seeing Xu Jiawei's hesitation, he immediately pressed on: "If you don't trust us, you can keep us tied up. You can keep all the weapons in our backpacks."

Xu Jiawei looked at her lie detector, and the little girl nodded and then hid it again.

She stopped dwelling on it, ordered her men to untie the person, and then said, "My name is Xu Jiawei, and I am Lin Chengye's enemy."

"That one is called Boss Xun, and these two are my underlings. Later, one of them changed his name to Boss Two and the other to Boss Three."

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother were all killed by Lin Chengye. I really want revenge." Boss Xun clenched his fist.

Eldest, second, third—these names are really casual, Xu Jiawei's lips twitched.

"Okay, they shouldn't have gone far. We should be able to catch up," Xu Jiawei said.

With the addition of three more people, they could finally put up a fight. After all, the other two were carrying a dozen or so weaklings, and it wouldn't be easy for them to fight alone. That's why Xu Jiawei had been hiding in the shadows and hadn't gone straight in for a full-blown battle.

The group continued walking forward, chasing for half an hour, until they finally heard Lin Chengye's familiar voice again.

"Hey, Lin Chengye, didn't you say you wouldn't let us scout ahead? Those three were right, you really are a hypocrite!!" one of them said angrily.

"We didn't need you to scout ahead, but those guys died, so there's nothing I can do," Lin Chengye said, shrugging.

"Everyone, Lin Chengye doesn't tell the truth. He's sending me to scout ahead, and once I'm dead, it'll be your turn. In the end, only he will benefit. Do you still dare to follow this kind of person?" As soon as the man finished speaking, quite a few people were persuaded.

Lin Chengye sneered: "Don't you want mythical equipment anymore?" The person who had been persuaded hardened their eyes again.

"If he has mythical equipment, why wouldn't he keep it for himself? Why should he give it to you? Don't be fooled by him!" The man was already in despair, and sure enough, some people hesitated again.

Lin Chengye thought this to himself, but didn't say it aloud: "I promise, whoever gets it gets it, and I won't say another word." When they start fighting over the equipment, he'll sit back and reap the benefits, killing everyone.

Lin Chengye was enjoying his daydreams when a voice that terrified him suddenly rang out, "Oh, so you're so interested in my equipment? Why didn't you say so in the chat channel? Useless coward."

"You, what are you doing here! Kill her now, the mythical equipment is in her hands!" Lin Chengye's voice was trembling.

Xu Jiawei chuckled lightly, looking at the group who had immediately reconciled and were now glaring at her menacingly, and said, "Heh, kill me? Who kills whom is still uncertain. Lin Chengye, are you ready to die?"
