Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

All night, Xu Jiawei was tidying up the players' belongings. The players' things were very messy, and there were even a lot of private items, which disgusted Xu Jiawei. She disdainfully took a bamboo pole and used it to carry the things into the sea.

This kind of trouble is probably the price to pay, but Xu Jiawei can accept it.

At first, Xu Jiawei felt like she was about to get a sty, but after tidying up for a whole night, she had become numb.

They simply threw things into the sea mechanically.

After organizing her items, Xu Jiawei found that there were already quite a few items in the system shop that could be negotiated. Ordinary items didn't require negotiation, but some valuable items did. Xu Jiawei looked through them one by one and chose the items that best suited her.

Sigh, it would be great if players could also use gold, silver, and copper coins as currency. At least they wouldn't have to barter, which would be much more convenient.

Unfortunately, most people have never been to the mainland and have no idea what this world is like, so they naturally don't know that there is such a thing as currency. Even if they find it in a box, they just treat it as a useless item and sell it directly in the system store.

Moreover, very few players currently possess currency. Even if Xu Jiawei mentions its use in the chat channel, players will simply hoard it and not use it immediately.

After selling everything, Xu Jiawei changed a few blueprints, including some common ones, such as blueprints for teacups, bowls and chopsticks, and even some basic items like pots and pans.

The better ones are blueprints for tables, chairs, wardrobes, etc.

We didn't receive a single blueprint.

By the time Xu Jiawei finished everything, it was already broad daylight, and the temperature seemed to be a bit higher than yesterday.

Xu Jiawei had changed out of her sweater and into a light shirt. She was a little worried, wondering if she would be steamed alive by the high temperature at the current rate of temperature rise.

However, while the temperature is still quite nice, I need to hurry up and take the magician certificate exam and learn how to create that barrier.

After scavenging the belongings of hundreds of people, Xu Jiawei finally had enough resources to establish a level three guild. So she took out the guild formation order and used it directly.

[Ding! Players can currently create a level 3 guild. Use? (Note: Guilds can be created initially, with a maximum level of 3.)]

Xu Jiawei clicked the "Yes" option, and then a guild naming selection box appeared.

Naming it? Xu Jiawei thought for a moment. She had a mushroom talent and a whole bunch of mushrooms at home, so she decided to just call it the Mushroom Alliance.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for creating the Mushroom Alliance guild. You are the first player to create a level 3 guild and are entitled to the following reward: Guild Base *1. Note: The guild base is located on the mainland and can be teleported to.]

Tsk, there's such a thing as a guild base? But is she the first one?

She thought the leader was the first one, after all, they had more people and more strength, and their resources were much better than Xu Jiawei fighting alone.

Seeing that Zhang Yunting still hadn't replied to her message, Xu Jiawei wondered if there was a serious problem with the leadership team.

Never mind, Xu Jiawei decided to go to the guild base to check on the situation first.

As soon as she was teleported there, Xu Jiawei was choked by a musty smell and couldn't breathe.

She was utterly stunned. How could this guild base be in such a dilapidated state? The entire building was no more than 50 square meters in size, with drafts coming from all sides of the walls, and of course, several large holes in the roof.

What did you give her to do?

Is this the reward for first place?

This is too shabby. However, Xu Jiawei thought that many of the rewards were given by the natives of the mainland, so this was probably arranged by the upper management who couldn't stand outsiders.

Xu Jiawei pushed open the rickety door and stepped outside. She found that she seemed to be on the edge of a small town. There were some houses in the distance, and a few residents walked past Xu Jiawei's door, glanced at her curiously, and then hurried away.

Well, at least we're inside the protective shield and have a way to travel to the mainland at any time, so that's good news.

Xu Jiawei had just stepped out the door when a system message came in.

[Ding! Congratulations on entering the guild base. Players can stay here for two hours each day (including time spent outside). After the time is up, you will be automatically teleported back to the ship. (Be mindful of the time; don't be teleported back before paying for anything, or you'll get caught!)]

Xu Jiawei: ......

Forget it, Xu Jiawei immediately stopped thinking about going out. First, she pulled her friends from her small group to her guild. Xu Jiawei couldn't finish packing by herself, so she asked her friends to help her pack.

There's strength in numbers.

Xu Jiawei opened the guild recruitment interface and found that the guild application had already received a message.

When Xu Jiawei opened the app, a long list of applications popped up. She didn't know if any of her friends from the group had applied, but she didn't plan to add that many people right now. The more people there were, the more chaotic it would be. She would deal with it later.

After closing the application interface, Xu Jiawei started recruiting people one by one.

Li Ming was the first to enter.

A new guild channel was added to the chat channel, and Li Ming spoke first.

[The lucky one is here: Sis, I'm here! I didn't expect you to be the first to pull me, I'm so touched.]

The second person to enter was Bai Yu, who immediately spoke.

[Rain Falling: Jiawei, you've already formed a guild? And it's level three? That's amazing!]

[The luckiest person here: Holy crap, I just realized, sis, you're amazing!]

A few seconds later, Si Yunming also came in, but Zhang Yunting remained silent.

Xu Jiawei didn't wait any longer and spoke directly in the guild channel.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Everyone come to the guild base.]

Upon seeing Xu Jiawei's message, the three of them didn't hesitate and immediately sent it over.

After being teleported over, the three of them were stunned by what they saw.

Xu Jiawei coughed lightly, "That's the situation. As you can see, we need to clean up this base. It's our foothold when we enter the mainland, so it can't be in such a shabby state."

"We only have two hours, we need to hurry."

Li Ming stared blankly at everything. He had never seen such a dilapidated house before. Then he nodded heavily and said, "Sister, I'll go get the materials."

Bai Yu walked to the door, pulled it open, and the door shook violently. Bai Yu twitched her lips. "I'm going to make a security door and security windows. I'll bring them over and install them later."

Xu Jiawei nodded, then looked at Si Yunming, "Brother San Dian, let's tear down the house and rebuild it. The walls look like they're about to collapse." Not to mention the roof.

This house is so dilapidated that it can only be rebuilt.

Si Yunming nodded, and the two began to dismantle the wall. Soon, Li Ming returned with the materials. Sure enough, Li Ming had high-quality goods; Xu Jiawei had never even seen the building materials he brought before.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xu Jiawei and the two people exchanged glances. Who could it be at this hour?

Xu Jiawei opened the door and saw that the person in the lead was dressed in full armor, followed by several guards.

"Hello, I am Tiancheng, the captain of the law enforcement team."

Xu Jiawei politely replied, "Hello, may I ask what brings you here?"

"You are the new owners of this house, right? I'm here to collect taxes. All residents living here must pay a residence tax of 10 gold coins per year, a land tax of 100 gold coins per year, a protective shield fee of 2 gold coins per month, a security tax of 5 gold coins per year, as well as water, business licenses, and several other fees. Here is the list, please take a look."

As he spoke, the form in his hand was handed over.

Xu Jiawei: ......

So they were waiting for her here.
