Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Comrade CEO, I have a difficult task for you now." Xu Jiawei's expression was very serious.

"Woman, get to the point. You're testing my patience." The domineering CEO, Mushroom, narrowed his beady eyes impatiently, his hands moving swiftly as he packaged the pills without stopping.

Xu Jiawei had to admire her. Although she was sharp-tongued, she was quite efficient at her work, and even her mushroom-shaped face looked much better.

Xu Jiawei patted the domineering CEO Mushroom on the shoulder.

"Comrade CEO, let me teach you how to make medicine. From now on, I'll entrust the work of making medicine to you." Xu Jiawei stared intently at the CEO's mushroom-shaped face.

"Woman, are you begging me?" The domineering CEO crossed his arms, slightly raised his chin, and looked down at Xu Jiawei.

Hmm, this is the first time I've realized mushrooms have nostrils.

"Yes, Mr. CEO, I can't handle this all by myself, so I have to ask you for help."

The domineering CEO was very pleased with Xu Jiawei's request, so he nodded and went straight to Xu Jiawei's cauldron. Seeing that the domineering CEO had already started throwing herbs into the pot, Xu Jiawei quickly stopped him.

"Boss, let me teach you."

"Hmph, do I need you to teach me this? I've already learned it after watching you work for so long." With that, she deftly made a pot of Frost Pills.

It worked?!

Xu Jiawei was devastated. How could this be? Is this how she felt about the genius's helplessness? She had spent so long learning it, but the CEO mastered it in one go. What kind of genius was he?

Xu Jiawei was practically devastated, so she decided to pass on all the prescriptions to the domineering CEO. She couldn't take it anymore and was going to shut down the business!

Of course, this is a joke.

Without saying a word, Xu Jiawei, in a fit of rage, tried to concoct all the potions. To her surprise, this time the situation was completely different; the "Overlord Mushroom" simply couldn't concoct any other potions.

Xu Jiawei nodded with great satisfaction. Sure enough, the Ice Pill was just an accident.

"Woman, this was just an accident. I have no interest in making other potions, hmph." After saying that, the domineering mushroom continued to roll the pills.

With some free time, Xu Jiawei thought about whether there was anything she hadn't done yet. Oh right, she hadn't delivered the medicine tray to her master yet, but because of the natural disaster, the courier service was suspended. What should she do?

Xu Jiawei was somewhat conflicted, but in the end she dialed Mo Feng's communicator and asked him to send the attribute-enhancing food that she had bought for Grace, Mo Feng, and Mo Feng's teacher, her grandmaster.

Upon seeing Xu Jiawei's things, even the usually irritable Mo Feng said something kind: "You've put your heart into it. Sister Grace will definitely like it."

"Then please ask Teacher Mofeng to deliver it to Teacher Grace and Grandmaster," Xu Jiawei said.

Mo Feng nodded, then turned his gaze to the domineering mushroom. There was no other reason than that it was too conspicuous and looked ridiculous.

"Heh, man, what are you staring at me for? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out," the domineering mushroom sneered.

"Comrade CEO, this is my teacher, you should respect him," Xu Jiawei corrected.

Mo Feng didn't seem to care; instead, he seemed to have discovered something interesting.

"Hey, this mushroom of yours seems to have a complete soul, even stronger than the soul of your pet mushroom. That's strange." Mo Feng circled the domineering mushroom, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Heh, of course, I'm one of a kind." The domineering CEO snorted coldly; this guy actually has good taste.

"A complete soul?" Xu Jiawei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it's complete. I've seen all the mushrooms you had before, and they're all different from this one. It seems to have a complete soul, which is why it's smarter."

"Disciple, could I borrow it for a few days to study?" Mo Feng asked.

Just as Xu Jiawei was about to agree, she felt a chill creep over her.

The domineering CEO Mushroom glared at Xu Jiawei, his eyes narrowing and filled with murderous intent: "Woman, you dare!"

Xu Jiawei shrugged. "Teacher, as you can see, this isn't something I can decide."

"That's a real shame." Mo Feng could only leave with some regret.

"Hmph, woman, you're smart to know what's good for you." After saying that, the CEO continued to roll the pills. Since her crucible had been taken over by the CEO, Xu Jiawei had no choice but to go to the association to buy a new crucible for the CEO. The nameless crucible was for Xu Jiawei's own use, so naturally she couldn't give it to the CEO.

Upon arriving at the association, the receptionist looked at Xu Jiawei in horror: "Are you here to take the Level 7 certificate exam again?!"

Xu Jiawei: ......

"No, I'm here to buy a crucible." However, she has developed a new testing potion, which is actually at the level of a seventh-level pharmacist. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the test.

"However, it would be nice to take the test if I have time," Xu Jiawei replied.

The receptionist, who had just relaxed, almost couldn't catch her breath. This person had only been taking exams for a short time and was already taking the Level 7 exam!

Can you please stop breathing so heavily when you speak? Her heart really can't take it.

The receptionist's expression changed several times before she finally gave a polite smile, displaying all her professionalism.

"Okay, okay, I'll schedule a time for you. I'll notify you once the appointment is successful." The Level 7 exam requires the joint decision-making of the president, vice president, and elders because it involves developing new technology.

Xu Jiawei nodded in agreement, then went to the guild shop and bought the most expensive cauldron in the store. Anyway, she wasn't short of money now, so if she was going to buy something for the domineering CEO, she would buy the most expensive one.

Xu Jiawei then returned to the ship and gave the newly purchased, very ornate crucible to the domineering CEO, Mushroom.

"Woman, you've put your heart into this." The domineering CEO Mushroom was very satisfied.

The night passed just like that. The next day, at the appointed time, Xu Jiawei arrived at the guild. Everyone was already busy. After Xu Jiawei left yesterday, the others had already decorated the guild and were just waiting for the opening.

"Sis, you're here!" Li Ming excitedly pulled Xu Jiawei up and explained the precautions for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Some residents watched with curiosity as these newcomers gathered around, wondering what they were up to.

Soon it was time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Xu Jiawei cut the red ribbon, and applause could be heard from twos and threes. Then Li Ming took out firecrackers and fireworks. Even if there were few people, he wanted to make it a lively event.

Soon the noise of the fireworks attracted the town's residents, and even wandering merchants passing through the town were drawn over.

"Hey, is there some good news? Why is it so noisy?" The merchant saw that some people were attracted to the noise, so he followed to see what was going on, hoping to sell some things.

......

Xu Jiawei stepped onto the stage and then proceeded with the pre-arranged opening ceremony: "Fellow villagers, my shop is opening today! Everything is 20% off! We have new types of food that boost attributes, all kinds of potions, farm tools, equipment, and miscellaneous items..."

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, the residents turned up their noses at her and dispersed.

Xu Jiawei: ......

However, one person in the audience had his eyes shining. Potions? Equipment? These were rare and scarce items; he had to get them. And there were new types of food that increased attributes! Really? Could it be a scam? Just what was the background of the owner of this little shop?!
