Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The child she gave birth to clearly knows how his so-called father treated her, yet he still wants her to go back, and from now on she should pretend she never had this child.

Having one daughter is enough.

"Mom." She looked at her daughter gently tugging at her hand; her daughter was not even nine years old.

Lin Qin comforted her daughter, then pulled her hand away from Li Yaozu's grasp and left.

Xu Jiawei watched this grand performance and was very satisfied with Lin Qin's performance. She was decisive and Xu Jiawei was very relieved to entrust the guild to her care.

In the end, the man was still exiled. After his exile, he sold the house, fearing that the woman would take advantage of him and seize the house.

However, the man also had to compensate Lin Qin for all these years, so part of the money from the sale of the house was given to Lin Qin under the supervision of the captain of the law enforcement team. Of course, that's another story.

As for where Lin Qin will live in the future, she will naturally live in the guild. There are plenty of empty rooms, and she can also watch over the place at night, which is perfect.

Xu Jiawei then brought Lin Qin to the guild.

"This is our territory. There are four other people besides me. They haven't arrived yet. You can find an empty room upstairs to stay in."

"Your job is to manage the shop and sell items. The base salary is 30 gold coins. We'll prepare the goods, and you'll be responsible for selling them. You'll receive a commission for every item sold. What do you think?" Xu Jiawei asked. The base salary was set according to the wages in this small town, which was considered quite high.

In other words, this small town has heavy taxes and low wages, it's a terrible place. Fortunately, things are cheap, so the residents can barely make ends meet.

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied. What kind of products do you want to sell? I'd like to know more about them beforehand," Lin Qin asked, holding Li Zhaodi's hand. The salary for this job was higher than her previous one, and she was very happy with it.

"Well, I'll call them over and let them talk to me themselves." Actually, Xu Jiawei wasn't quite sure either.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Come to the guild, I need to talk to you.]

After saying that, Li Ming arrived immediately. I wonder what Li Ming does every day. Does he just stare at the chat channel all day?

"Sis, what do you want with us? Oh, who is this sister of yours?" Li Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

"This is a staff member I hired. Just tell her what you want to sell."

Lin Qin was startled. How did this man get here? There was clearly no teleportation array here, or was it hidden?

"Excuse me, ma'am, my name is Li Ming. I'm sorry I startled you. I'd like to sell all sorts of miscellaneous goods."

......

Lin Qin listened very attentively and finally nodded.

Having finally secured a shop, Xu Jiawei thought that opening a medicine shop wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thinking it over, I found a shelf that no one was using and put all the medicines on it.

Simple, done. You can tell at a glance what kind of renovation you need and what you want to sell.

The second person to arrive was Bai Yu. Bai Yu took out his farm tools and introduced them. Finally, he took out the equipment and clothing he had made. Lin Qin nodded.

Lin Qin was already used to these people's sudden appearances.

Next up was Zhang Yunting. He hadn't decided what to sell yet. Although they had a lot of things to offer, they weren't particularly specialized in anything. If they sold potions, they couldn't compete with Xu Jiawei; if they sold equipment, they couldn't compete with Bai Yu; and if they sold miscellaneous goods, they couldn't compete with Li Ming.

Even now, the leader hasn't made a decision. Zhang Yunting thought about the leader's special characteristics, and he actually remembered something: one of their chefs had developed food that increased attributes.

Upon learning that the product had been successfully developed and that only the developer could use it an unlimited number of times, Zhang Yunting's gaze towards Xu Jiawei changed.

What a terrifying existence this is! He remembered that Xu Jiawei had researched all the crops that could increase attributes.

Moreover, this food is made using Xu Jiawei's attribute mushrooms as raw materials, in order to increase the number of times it can be used.

This unlimited increase in attributes was still a bit of a waste for the chef, so the organization found a few people who were quite strong to make food with other attributes according to the chef's method.

Zhang Yunting was among them. He was chosen so that he wouldn't fall behind in Xu Jiawei's team. Due to his talent, Zhang Yunting was assigned to make food with strength attributes.

Fortunately, after four days of hard work, Zhang Yunting succeeded.

From now on, he can increase his strength a little bit every day.

Zhang Yunting discussed with the organization for 20 minutes and finally decided that they could sell attribute-enhancing foods first. After he expressed his idea, Xu Jiawei was very interested, so she traded some of these foods with Zhang Yunting, intending to give some to her two teachers and her master.

"Xiao Xu, this food, like your mushrooms, can only be used three times per person. After that, it won't work."

They tried all the other attribute crops obtained from other continents, but none of them were successful. This may be the reason why Xu Jiawei's talent made them, as they are fundamentally different from other attribute crops.

"I understand. How about I give you gold coins at the market price? And aren't you considering selling them through the mainland chamber of commerce?"

"We'd like to, but the method is too complicated. We don't have enough people to produce in large quantities." After all, they might not even be able to sell them in this small town.

In fact, Zhang Yunting had already prepared a set for everyone, but Xu Jiawei asked for a few more sets.

After discussing the arrangements, the decorations were nearing completion. Xu Jiawei put labels and prices on the potions and then handed everything over to Lin Qin. There wasn't much else to prepare, so they decided to open the business the next morning with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was quite well-designed, and Li Ming spoke animatedly about the details of tomorrow's ribbon-cutting.

Si Yunming didn't come today, but I'll definitely invite him to the opening tomorrow.

After Xu Jiawei left, Li Ming continued talking non-stop. When Xu Jiawei returned to the ship, she sensed something was wrong because the temperature inside the barrier had risen to 27 degrees Celsius.

That means it's almost 50 degrees Celsius outside!

The chat channels are full of people lamenting how hot it is.

[Maple Leaf: It's so hot! It's almost ripe. The fan is useless; it just blows hot air.]

[Farewell: Didn't you buy an air conditioner? With an air conditioner, you can just close the door and it'll be cool.]

[Maple Leaf: I couldn't even get a basic air conditioner, so I'm just surviving on an electric fan.]

[Big brother/sister: Actually, even a basic air conditioner isn't very effective anymore. I still sweat even with the lowest temperature setting on. You really need to buy a high-end air conditioner.]

[Sweetie: Brothers and sisters, why are you turning on the air conditioner? There's no electricity.]

[Big Brother/Sister: All you need is a generator. You can generate electricity directly using energy stones. Someone got the blueprint; you just need to go buy one.]

Xu Jiawei looked to see who had received the blueprints, and as expected, it was Li Ming.

Seeing the sudden increase in temperature, Xu Jiawei felt that time was running out. She needed to upgrade the barrier as soon as possible and also store up more Ice Pills.

Because the method of making the Ice Pill is very complicated, only Xu Jiawei can refine it; the mushrooms simply cannot do it.

But given how clever CEO Mushroom is, will he be able to learn it?

Xu Jiawei turned her gaze to the domineering mushroom who was processing medicinal herbs. The domineering mushroom raised its mushroom head and looked at Xu Jiawei's face.

"Woman, what are you trying to do now?"
