Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Do you know her?" Xu Jiawei asked, somewhat surprised.

The Queen nodded. "I also know what she wants. Take me there." The Queen's voice was somewhat helpless.

Xu Jiawei didn't ask any more questions. As long as she could complete the mission, other questions didn't matter. Then she and the queen wearing a crown surfaced on the water.

As soon as she peeked out, the mermaid tied to the deck saw her queen and said with great grievance, "Queen."

The Queen smiled apologetically and said, "You've worked hard." Then she looked at the little girl and said with a mixture of sternness and helplessness.

"Have you had enough fun? You've dragged your entire tribe into this game, and as the future sea god, you have absolutely no sense of responsibility. And you still want the sea god's necklace?"

"Your Majesty, the princess is still young, please don't be angry. We played with her willingly." The eldest mermaid, who had been captured at the beginning, felt extremely sorry for the little princess when she saw her being scolded. She quickly explained and freed herself from the ropes.

The queen came ashore and conjured human legs, which she used to hold the girl in her arms. The girl struggled desperately.

He kicked his legs and shouted, "Mother Queen, if you hadn't refused to give it to me, I wouldn't have let this person steal it. I am the future Sea God, you can't treat me like this, give me some face!"

The Queen's smile vanished. The brat deserved a slap, and she slapped her across the face. The girl screamed and cried.

The bound mermaids were heartbroken: "Queen, please stop hitting her! The princess is only 130 years old; she's still a child."

Xu Jiawei's lips twitched. She called herself "my 130-year-old child."

The mermaid queen stopped spanking the little girl only after she cried and admitted her mistake. Then the queen looked at Xu Jiawei and said, "Since you have completed the mission and already have a pet, here you go."

As she spoke, the Queen took out a round bead that emitted an iridescent luster, and Xu Jiawei accepted the bead.

The queen then led all the mermaids back to the sea.

"Wait..." Xu Jiawei was about to call out to the mermaids when she realized they had already jumped into the sea and disappeared without a trace. The locator that the little girl had given Xu Jiawei was still in her hand.

So Xu Jiawei jumped into the water again to return it, but when she returned to the seabed, there was no palace left. It was as if the little palace and the mermaid were just a dream. Only the locator and the bead in her hand reminded her that it was not a dream.

The red dot on the locator in her hand disappeared completely. Xu Jiawei felt that the palace and the mermaids had been completely hidden, or that some special entrance to the mermaid territory was now closed.

Anyway, I'll return it to her next time I see her. Xu Jiawei returned to the ship and picked up the bead.

[Queen's Mermaid Pearl: A mermaid pearl crafted by the Queen, providing your pet with 1 experience point per second. It can be socketed into your pet's inventory.]

"As expected of the Queen, she's so generous." Xu Jiawei placed the bead on the pet backpack, which immediately swallowed it.

[Ding! Your pet backpack has been upgraded to an intermediate-level pet backpack. Please continue your efforts.]

With a good harvest, Xu Jiawei continued to refine the Infinity Potion in a good mood. However, it seems that the teacher has not been refining the Infinity Potion recently. Isn't this thing very important?

Xu Jiawei has attribute mushrooms that can infinitely increase attribute points, but Grace does not. Therefore, unless she finds a new attribute crop, she will not continue to refine infinite potions.

This is also why new attribute crops are more popular than Infinite Potions. Even if the Lotus of All Things is hard to find, it can still be found. New attribute crops may not appear for hundreds of years. Moreover, with Xu Jiawei's Mushroom of All Things, Infinite Potions are now everywhere and their price has dropped by more than half.

After refining the potion, Xu Jiawei was quite skilled and could probably continue taking the exam. The higher the pharmacist's level, the greater the discounts she would receive when buying things.

It's a good opportunity to take all the magician exams at the same time.

As dawn broke, Xu Jiawei took out her certificate and badge, hung the magician badge around her neck, and immediately set off.

Xu Jiawei decided to take the pharmacist exam first. She returned to the association and, seeing the familiar scenery, easily registered.

"Master Xu, let me see, I can arrange an exam for you at four o'clock this afternoon, what do you think?" the receptionist said, looking at the meeting time schedule in her hand.

"Does it take this long to prepare?" She thought she could take the test right away when she arrived.

"The Level 6 exam requires the president or vice president to personally proctor it, so it depends on their schedule. This is already the earliest available," the receptionist said respectfully and somewhat apologetically.

Then he looked at Xu Jiawei with fervor. A genius, an absolute genius! She's already taking the CET-6 exam after only a few days. It's terrifying. She doesn't even seem like a human from another world.

Xu Jiawei: We were never from the same world to begin with.

"Okay, then that's settled." After registering and paying, Xu Jiawei left the Apothecary Association and immediately teleported to the Mage Association to see if she could finish the exam before four o'clock.

At this moment, Xu Jiawei was wearing a black robe and a black magic hat, giving her the appearance of a mysterious magician.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The receptionist was dressed in a yellow shirt today.

"Hello, I want to take the Level 5 mage exam, can you arrange that?"

The receptionist handed over the form, and after Xu Jiawei filled it out and paid the gold coins, she could immediately go to take the exam.

She went upstairs again, and this time the examiner was still Xu Jiawei's grandmaster. Upon seeing the familiar face, Xu Jiawei immediately went to greet him.

"Greetings, Grandmaster!" Xu Jiawei bowed.

The old man smiled and said, "Good child, now that you've learned about barriers, you should be taking the Level 6 exam, not the Level 5 one. Never mind, you can go again later."

He then instructed Xu Jiawei to enter the testing room and unleash her skill. After Xu Jiawei came out, the master took out a stamped form and said, "Go ahead and give this form to the front desk."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." Xu Jiawei bowed again and left.

Back at the front desk, the staff looked at Xu Jiawei like she was a monster. "Holy crap, is there really such a genius?"

The receptionist stared at Xu Jiawei for a while, then looked at the schedule and said, "Sage Xu, we can arrange your test for 3 PM this afternoon, is that alright?" Actually, one can only be called a sage after reaching level six, but Xu Jiawei has already been recommended by the elders, which means that she is now strong enough to pass level six.

Three o'clock? Xu Jiawei frowned. Her pharmacist exam was at four o'clock. If she was late and missed the exam, that would be bad.

Xu Jiawei was worried that she wouldn't have enough time and didn't know how the CET-6 exam differed from previous ones.

"Hello, I have a pharmacist exam at 4 PM. If I take the exam at 3 PM, will I have enough time?" Xu Jiawei asked.

The receptionist was at a loss for words when she looked at Xu Jiawei. She glanced at the pharmacist badge on Xu Jiawei's chest—a Level 5 pharmacist who had to take two Level 6 exams a day. Was this the world of the strong? It was something that ordinary people like them could never compare to.

The receptionist looked somewhat conflicted. "Xu Xianzhe, if you don't want to take the exam at 3 PM, there's another vice president available this morning, but very few people choose her because her exam is extremely rigorous, with a pass rate of only 10%, so..." The receptionist then gave the choice to Xu Jiawei.
