Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She still needs to learn more about her future rivals.

The receptionist wasn't surprised. After all, the person in front of her was a world-renowned genius. It was normal for her to be curious when she suddenly heard that there was a genius with similar talent to her.

"Actually, I don't know much about him either. I only know that he is a wind attribute genius. This special attribute of high agility is a great boost to a person. He's really amazing." The receptionist shared what she knew.

Is it a wind attribute? Xu Jiawei kept this message in mind.

I then took the application form from the receptionist, filled it out again, and paid the exam registration fee.

Xu Jiawei took her exam admission ticket and went back upstairs.

This time, her exam room was number 2731. Xu Jiawei walked quite a distance before arriving at the door of room 2731. She knocked on the door again, and this time an elderly male voice answered.

"Go in." His voice was filled with the vicissitudes of life.

Xu Jiawei opened the door and went in. Sure enough, sitting in the center was an elderly man with white hair. The old man had a very kind face, which made Xu Jiawei relax a little.

"So you're Mo Feng's apprentice? I never expected that Mo Feng would take in someone with such a special attribute as you. It's truly rare."

"Don't let Mo Feng's youthful appearance fool you; he's actually more old-fashioned than anyone else. Given your personality, there's no way he'd accept you as his apprentice."

"I'm very curious, what exactly changed his mind?" The old man looked at Xu Jiawei inquiringly.

Xu Jiawei awkwardly touched her nose: "My pharmacist teacher is Grace."

The old man immediately looked enlightened, muttering to himself, "No wonder, I thought this kid had changed his ways. He really can't resist anyone he sees. With his rotten temper, how could anyone possibly be interested in him..."

The old man seemed lost in his own world, muttering to himself.

Xu Jiawei asked with some curiosity, "May I ask, what is your relationship with Teacher Mofeng?"

After all, the old man showed no respect for Mo Feng, which made Xu Jiawei very curious about his identity.

"I am his teacher, you can call me Grandmaster. Now that you're here, if you're ready, let's start the exam."

Xu Jiawei was not surprised at all when she heard the news; she had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"I'm ready."

"Alright, the Level 4 exam requires three skills to reach a minor level of proficiency. Now, enter the magic training room and unleash all the skills you know."

Xu Jiawei walked through the black wooden door without the slightest hesitation.

"The exam begins." As the old man's voice came from all around, Xu Jiawei unleashed all her skills once more.

Congratulations, you passed the exam!

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Jiawei went out of the house. The old man reminded her, "Just go to the front desk to collect your certificate and badge in a bit. You can leave now if you have nothing else to do."

Xu Jiawei nodded, bowed, and then said, "Thank you, Grandmaster."

After saying that, he left and went downstairs to wait for the certificates to be issued.

Why is the speed here much faster than at the Pharmacist Association?

Seeing Xu Jiawei come down the stairs, the receptionist quickly said, "Congratulations on becoming a Level 4 mage. Please wait a moment; the badge and certificate should be ready in about half an hour."

"So fast?" Xu Jiawei was even more surprised.

"Well, our certificates and badges are a bit different from your Pharmacist Association's. They're simpler. You'll understand in a bit." The receptionist hesitated for a moment, then looked enviously at the inconspicuous Pharmacist Association badge hanging around Xu Jiawei's neck.

That's great. I wish the Mage's Guild was like that too.

The badge is barely noticeable unless you look closely, because the level 5 badge is black, and Xu Jiawei happened to be wearing black.

Xu Jiawei found a seat and sat down. The magicians in the association didn't hide their conversation from others, so Xu Jiawei overheard it.

"I heard that the western kingdom has been attacked by mutated creatures, thousands of them, it's terrifying," a boy said.

"Really? The mutated creatures have already come to the mainland. Haven't they been active on the island all along?" The girl's voice was somewhat hesitant.

"Who knows? Their activities have become even more frequent lately. I don't know if they can hold out," the male voice replied.

"I heard that the barrier's restrictions have weakened. Could it be that the tragedy from tens of thousands of years ago is about to repeat itself?" another person said at the right moment.

After hearing the conversation, Xu Jiawei sighed. They didn't have much time left.

But the evil god can reach level 99, and maybe he'll reach level 100 when he comes out. What use will players who are only level 10 or 12 be then?

Xu Jiawei's badge and certificate were issued very quickly.

Looking at the certificate and badge, Xu Jiawei was speechless. No wonder it was so fast.

The certificate was just a printed piece of paper, and the badge was just a small, ordinary metal badge with four dots printed on it.

However, this badge has a clever design; its shape is actually a mushroom.

It seems that the badge is related to attributes.

"Ms. Xu, this is the first time I've ever seen a mushroom-shaped badge. It's one of a kind." The receptionist looked at it again with some curiosity.

"Are all the badges related to attributes?" This badge seemed rather pathetic compared to the pharmacist's badge. Xu Jiawei put it directly into her bracelet. This badge didn't seem to have any special functions; it was just an ordinary badge and there was no need to wear it.

"Hmm, Lin Wenshi's badge is shaped like a tornado, the wood element is shaped like a big tree, the water element is shaped like a water droplet, and the earth element is shaped like a mountain. In short, the shape is related to the attribute. Your attribute is actually a mushroom? That's really rare." The receptionist happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so she chatted with Xu Jiawei.

"Okay, don't tell anyone else," Xu Jiawei instructed.

"I understand. After all, you want to hide your special attributes to catch people off guard. By the way, would you like to buy a magic hat? It can make your magic flow more smoothly." The receptionist pointed to the hat on her head.

Xu Jiawei glanced around the hall and saw that about half of the people were wearing hats.

If it's really useful, buying one wouldn't be a bad idea.

Xu Jiawei nodded and walked towards the market.

The commercial area of ​​the Mage's Guild has many shops, some selling wands, some selling robes, and some selling special items. Xu Jiawei found the shop selling magic hats and went inside. There were all kinds of magic hats inside.

"Welcome! Our shop sells magic hats of all levels; there's bound to be one that suits you." The shopkeeper immediately recognized the visitor as a big customer upon seeing him wearing an epic-level robe.

"Then introduce yourself to me," Xu Jiawei said.

"Miss, if you'd like to coordinate your outfit, I suggest you buy a golden magic hat. For example, this one will enhance your magic power, this one will increase your attack power, and this one..."

The boss talked eloquently, while Xu Jiawei listened attentively and made her selections.
