Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

After ending the communication with Grace, Xu Jiawei yawned and continued her efforts to refine the potion today.

Next, we need to find a place to level up. Both her level and her pet's level need to be increased, otherwise she will be surpassed sooner or later.

The next day, Xu Jiawei rubbed her temples and went to the guild again. The shelves in the guild had been renovated and even had signs hung up.

Since no one had arrived yet, Xu Jiawei opened the door and went out.

Because it was early morning, there were relatively few pedestrians outside. When Xu Jiawei arrived at the agreed place, she saw that the woman and the little girl were already waiting there.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Xu Jiawei said, sitting down next to the woman.

The woman shook her head. "It's okay. I arrived too early. If I want to leave him, I have to go to court with the law enforcement team, so I stole the previous sales contract."

Yesterday, the man got tired of kicking the protective shield of the talisman and went straight to sleep. The woman took the opportunity to steal the items and came here to wait in the middle of the night, afraid that if the man found out, she would never be able to get out again.

"Don't be nervous, I'll help you solve this." Xu Jiawei looked at the woman who was still shivering. It wasn't from the cold, because the temperature in this world had already reached 30 degrees Celsius.

Then the only possibility is that they were frightened.

As for the solution, Grace told her that conventional methods were not an option, because conventional methods would mean endless wrangling.

The teacher told himself that since he already had a Level 6 professional certificate, he could consider using privileged means.

Because Level 6 advanced professionals are considered respectable figures in this world, identifying themselves can speed up the processing, even more so than noble status, since professional certificates are valid in all countries.

This is a bit too realistic, is it exercising privilege? But it is indeed the fastest way.

So Xu Jiawei took the two to handle their divorce case. She never expected that she would be doing something like this one day. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the law enforcement team, Xu Jiawei saw the captain from before.

The team leader nodded to Xu Jiawei and then said, "You're the resident who just moved in a few days ago. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The team leader was very friendly to Xu Jiawei, who paid the full amount without saying a word and didn't cause him any trouble.

"I took on an employee and wanted to help her get a divorce and send her husband to prison," Xu Jiawei said without hiding anything.

Looking at the woman following behind Xu Jiawei, the captain's face showed understanding.

He had heard about this family's situation, but he heard that the wife was very pitiful and was often beaten and scolded by her husband. However, it was a family matter and the law enforcement team could not interfere. But the woman said she wanted to send her husband to prison. Was there some other hidden reason?

The captain was very welcoming. He led the three of them to sit down and poured each of them a glass of water. "Hello, you can tell me, and I'll handle this case."

Xu Jiawei nodded and took out the sales contract. Upon seeing the contract, the captain's expression gradually turned serious. He never expected that such a thing could happen in the area under his jurisdiction; it was truly his dereliction of duty.

Although their place is poor and abandoned, this has never happened before.

"We apologize; this is our negligence. We never expected that human trafficking would occur here."

When the man brought the woman to register their marriage, he had her identification documents with him, so no one suspected that it was a case of buying and selling. Generally, women who are bought and sold do not have identification documents, so it is easy to tell.

They were careless.

"However, the process requires reporting through multiple levels, which will take about six months." The captain hesitated for a moment, then his eyes lit up when he saw Xu Jiawei point to the badge on her chest.

That makes things much easier. This is a noble level six mage and level six alchemist. Cases involving high-level professionals don't need to be reported for the time being. It's fine to report them after the case is closed. This is in accordance with the law. High-level professionals do have special privileges.

Everything is clearly written out.

"No problem, I can process it for you right away."

Xu Jiawei looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. She had used her power to oppress others, but in the end, she had become the very person she hated. However, Xu Jiawei quickly adjusted her demeanor.

I went back and ate vegetarian food for three days to atone for my sins.

Xu Jiawei waited for less than 20 minutes before the law enforcement team brought the man over, followed by his son, Li Yaozu.

Li Yaozu held onto his father, sobbing, and said, "You bunch of bad people, let go of my father!"

Upon seeing Lin Qin and Li Zhaodi sitting in the chairs, he revealed a fierce expression: "Bad woman, I hate you. Why don't you just die? You should be treated like pigs."

"You're all worthless!" the boy screamed, his voice shrill and unpleasant.

Xu Jiawei frowned, surprised to hear such words from a seven-year-old child.

A look of sorrow appeared in Lin Qin's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She shouldn't waste her energy on someone who wasn't worth it, even if that person was her child.

Lin Qin could tolerate it, but Xu Jiawei couldn't. She slapped Li Yaozu across the face, and Li Yaozu fell to the ground, crying even harder, "Waaah, you bitch, how dare you hit me! I'll have my dad beat you to death!"

Xu Jiawei slapped her again, making it symmetrical, which felt good.

Li Yaozu cried so hard it was heartbreaking, and he was beaten so badly by Xu Jiawei that he couldn't even speak.

The case was very simple because there were both witnesses and physical evidence, and it was quickly proven.

"Master, for this case, we can choose to exile the person to a more remote place and never allow them to return, or we can keep them here and imprison them for ten years. Of course, during those ten years in prison, they will have to do hard labor here."

Xu Jiawei looked at Lin Qin.

"The choice is yours."

The man struggled to turn around: "Lin Qin, let me tell you, if you dare to kick me out, you'll never see your son again. I will definitely take him with me!"

The man was terrified. He didn't want to be kicked out. Although this place was poor, it was safe. If he was kicked out, he would be sent to a region severely affected by monsters, and whether he could survive there would be a problem.

The man deeply regretted not hiding the sales contract, which Lin Qin had found.

Next time, he will definitely hide it well.

Lin Qin glanced coldly at Li Yaozu, who was wailing loudly, and said indifferently, "Whatever."

After saying that, he turned and left with his daughter. Only then did Li Yaozu realize the panic, stop crying, and quickly grab Lin Qin.

"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you. You can't abandon me." The seven-year-old boy rolled his eyes and then put on a pitiful expression.

Suppressing her heartache, Lin Qin asked, "Then what do you want Mom to do?"

"Mom, please don't leave me and Dad. Dad doesn't want to leave you either."

Seeing his son's performance, the man's eyes darted around. "Yes, Xiaoqin, I know I was wrong. I will definitely change in the future. Please forgive me. Let's go home and live a good life together."

Lin Qin disdainfully shook off the two of them, utterly disappointed in her son.
