Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Feng Hua: Everyone, stop arguing! @AAA Mushroom Fairy, please release the Healing Mushroom! The heat is making it hard for me to see; I hope my eyes don't fail.]

[Is this a bluff? Hey upstairs, can't you see how it was typed?]

[Feng Hua: It's not like they're completely blind. I'm speechless. Can you please stop nitpicking and just tag the big shot?]

[Working Spirit: @AAAMushroomFairy]

[Gamer working stiff: @AAA蘑菇仙.]

Xu Jiawei opened the chat channel. Although she had expected it, she was still very shocked because there were only 50,000 people left. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people had died.

Most of them were elderly people and teenagers who were in poor health and came in the second batch.

Adults have developed resistance, so even at temperatures high enough to cook a person, they can't die. The players are utterly desperate, feeling both hopeless and heartbroken, even envious of those who have died. What could be more despairing than watching yourself get cooked?

Enjoying the air conditioning, Xu Jiawei listed the healing mushrooms. Then, looking at the previous chat conversation, she felt very strange. Could it be that she had disappeared from the system during that hour? People saw that her name had disappeared, so they thought she was dead, and those rats that had escaped before jumped out again.

But have Lin Chengye and Bai Yue not yet had their minds corrupted by the dark attributes? Or have they rationally joined the evil god's camp?

How could this be? Xu Jiawei thought of the group from the Dark Temple again and fell silent. These people were also doing those things while maintaining their rationality. Perhaps Lin Chengye and Bai Yue were in the same situation.

As for where their ship went after being blown up by Xu Jiawei, that's a question Xu Jiawei couldn't possibly guess.

[Waist Straight: @Wishing for one heart, @To grow old together, you still want people to join the evil god's camp? The system's attitude is simply to kill the demonized creatures, yet you want us to join? What are your intentions?]

[Good scenery: Does the person upstairs have such a strong sense of morality? Anyway, I'm about to die, and if the evil god can save me, I'm going to join him!]

[Eat and drink as usual: Seriously, are we really going to betray humanity?]

[Eating hotpot: I don't care about good versus evil. Anyway, this thing isn't planning on letting us live. Joining the evil god's camp at least guarantees survival.]

[Cinderella's leg hair: After being corrupted by demons, it becomes a mindless monster; what's the difference between that and being dead?]

[What a sight! How come that guy who's been inseparable since childhood hasn't turned into a monster? Maybe there's a way to preserve his sanity and join them!]

[Jiajia: That makes sense. We're almost starving anyway, so joining this camp after we're completely starving isn't a bad idea.]

[Giant cockroach tentacles: We are to die as human beings. This evil god is no good at all; He is just deceiving us.]

[Together until old age (enemy): God did not deceive you, it is true. I was saved by God and now live on land where the temperature is suitable. There are no so-called trials. These trials were purely set up to kill us. You must believe me.]

Upon seeing the message from Lin Chengye, Xu Jiawei's eyes sharpened, and she immediately used the location card.

[Ding, player's location has been hidden and cannot be detected.]

Xu Jiawei's expression grew even more somber. Was this bait released by the evil god to divide humanity? He deliberately kept Lin Chengye rational, which could both target Xu Jiawei and serve as a good propaganda tool. This method was very similar to that upgrade potion, accurately grasping the players' desire to survive.

If the allure of the upgrade potion were to be released again, Xu Jiawei dared not even imagine how many players would join this camp. If the system did not resort to special measures, humanity would have no chance of survival.

Even on the world channel, Bai Yue and Lin Chengye spared no effort in promoting how good the evil gods were and how much one could gain by joining them. Some people who were struggling to survive began to respond, causing a huge uproar throughout the world channel.

Not every server has someone like Xu Jiawei, so everyone is struggling to survive.

[System Announcement: Player, wishing for a lifelong bond, has spread information detrimental to unity and has been banned from speaking for 100 days. The system will issue a kill order to all players who have joined the Destruction Faction. All players can click to kill and will be automatically teleported. The successful kill will reward the player with 1 Golden Treasure Chest and 4000 Experience.]

[Soybean Powder (China Server 67): Holy crap, the system itself has issued a kill order! Looks like things are really serious. What does "destroy the faction" mean?]

[Eiko Miko (Sakura Kingdom Server 54): Why can't we live? The system is forcing us to our deaths.]

[Survival System: Player Yingzi Mikou (Sakura Kingdom Server 54), you have insulted the system in your chat. According to system rules, you are banned from speaking for three days. We hope you will abide by the rules in the future and work together to maintain a good environment.]

[Toolkit (China Server 44): Everyone, please be careful what you say and avoid mentioning the word "system".]

[Jaina (Beautiful Kingdom Server 56): Since they're the Destruction faction, they might be going to destroy the world. Anyway, that thing isn't anything good, so I'll just live one more day at a time.]

[Purify Your Mind (China Server 88): I really envy you, you have such a good mindset.]

It seems the system has noticed and begun to intervene, but Xu Jiawei remains skeptical about whether it will succeed.

She then listed Healing Mushrooms, and the supplies increased. Xu Jiawei also collected some rare materials. With her own efforts, the guild was about to upgrade again, and her supplies alone were almost enough to meet the upgrade requirements of the entire guild.

Once the sales of the healing mushrooms slowed down, Xu Jiawei was able to sell enough for each person to get two or three mushrooms. After all, these were healing enoki mushrooms, and just growing a small clump could bring in hundreds or even thousands of yuan. It was just a bit troublesome to distribute them, but these were left to the working mushrooms.

Sales of basic refrigerators and air conditioners gradually declined, while sales of high-end refrigerators and air conditioners became increasingly brisk, and many people have already purchased them. Due to Xu Jiawei and Li Ming's price-cutting efforts, others did not dare to set their prices too high.

It would be at most 20% more than Li Ming's price.

To combat the high temperatures, some people locked themselves in the refrigerator. Even when the power went out, it didn't matter. As long as Xu Jiawei sold Ice Mushrooms, they would immediately buy them and create a small secret room in the refrigerator. They even shared this method, and guides were posted on both the world channel and the 62nd server channel, encouraging people to crawl into the refrigerator.

Although it's cold inside the refrigerator, it's still more comfortable than dying from heat. However, for some people whose generators have exploded and there are no other ways to cool down, lying in the refrigerator is useless, and they can only silently wait to die.

Xu Jiawei thought this was indeed a good method. Just like the small secret room she had made before, as long as the surrounding area was filled with ice mushrooms, it would be a small ice cellar.

So Xu Jiawei sold more Frost Mushrooms. As for Frost Pills, they could only be sold when the temperature was even higher. These Frost Pills could even freeze things up to 150 degrees Celsius into ice blocks.
