Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The chat channel was in an uproar, with comments scrolling rapidly.

[A Smile for a Beauty: What's going on? The temperature is getting higher and higher! It's almost cooked!]

[Gou Fugui: @BaiShouBuFenCheng, I want to join the evil god's camp, pull me in, I'm going to die!]

[Sister Feifei: Hang in there, everyone. This is only temporary. The system has only been compromised for now.]

[Line break: How can we hold on? The temperature is getting higher and higher; we'll be cooked through in less than ten minutes.]

[I am a paramecium: This is terrible, I feel like I'm going to die.]

[Pink Princess Dress: Hey boss, hurry up and put Ice Mushrooms on sale! Everyone, put the Ice Mushrooms in the fridge and hide inside!]

[Calmly: The temperature is almost 100 degrees Celsius, everyone stop arguing and quickly hide in the refrigerator.]

Xu Jiawei immediately looked at the group of people in front of her and said, "Quick, let's hide in the secret room!" After saying that, she pulled the group of people directly to the secret hut they had been in before. After closing the door, she released her talent, and the walls and the ground were covered with ice mushrooms. This was the first time everyone had seen Xu Jiawei make mushrooms, and they were very surprised.

Soon, the temperature inside the room dropped, and Xu Jiawei looked at everyone and said, "Please help me pick the mushrooms and sell them. You can take one-tenth of each mushroom."

After saying that, Xu Jiawei also squatted down to collect the samples.

"No need, we just need to help, it's for the sake of this world!" After saying that, Bai Yu took the lead in squatting down to pick the ice mushrooms. The others nodded and immediately got to work as well. The situation was critical, and there was no time for idle chatter.

Xu Jiawei's talent kept coming out; every time they picked a mushroom, another would immediately grow. They collected mushrooms for half a day, but the number of mushrooms in the room didn't seem to decrease.

After her talent level was upgraded, she no longer needed to think about growing these mushrooms. It was as if it had become a passive skill. As long as the program was set up, these things could keep growing, and she even had time to do other things.

Xu Jiawei immediately put the Frost Pill on the shelf. Speaking of the Frost Pill, suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and a sharp explosion rang in her mind: Ahhh, the domineering CEO is still outside!

Xu Jiawei immediately opened the door and went to the living room to pull the unconscious, alluring CEO into the secret room. Less than a minute after leaving the room, Xu Jiawei was already burned and felt a burning pain all over her body, so she immediately ate a healing mushroom.

Then, looking at the domineering CEO on the ground, he swallowed hard. The others who were picking mushrooms also swallowed hard when they smelled the tempting aroma. "Sis, is this the food you brought in? It smells pretty good," Li Ming said without turning around and continued picking mushrooms.

Bai Yu laughed and scolded, "Idiot, didn't you see this food is wearing a suit? How could it be food? Although it does smell pretty good."

Xu Jiawei fed the medicine into the CEO's mouth, and watching him slowly open his eyes, Xu Jiawei exclaimed excitedly, "CEO, you're awake!"

The domineering CEO blinked his beady eyes weakly and said in a feeble voice, "Woman, I didn't expect you to still remember me. You still have a conscience."

As soon as the CEO opened his mouth, the group couldn't hold back their laughter. Their lips twitched uncontrollably as they burst out laughing. Originally, the CEO lying on the ground was just a strange creature with a mushroom head and a human body, but now that he had spoken, the hilarious and absurd feeling was impossible to shake off.

Li Ming couldn't help but roll around on the ground, clutching his stomach and laughing loudly: "Sis, where did you find this weird creature? It's both funny and ugly-cute, hahaha, and it's so funny to talk like that."

The appearance of the domineering CEO added a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to the oppressive environment.

Hearing Li Ming laugh heartily, Bai Yu couldn't help but squat down and chuckle too.

The already weakened CEO couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing this. He immediately stood up. Ugly? Who's ugly? He's clearly so handsome and unparalleled, how could he be ugly? So, he angrily said, "How dare you say I'm ugly? Do you want to die? You dare laugh? I'm going to throw you all out!"

"I'll give you a chance since you're this woman's friends. Apologize now!" The domineering CEO's eyes widened with anger.

Seeing this, even Zhang Yunting and Si Yunming couldn't hold back anymore, their shoulders twitching uncontrollably.

"You! Women, get them out of here! This is my territory!" The domineering CEO was so angry that his mushroom-shaped face turned red.

"CEO, don't be angry, they didn't mean it!" Xu Jiawei coaxed the CEO, and immediately gave a wink to the few people who were still convulsing.

Seeing Xu Jiawei's signal, the others stopped laughing. "Sorry, I just thought of something funny, I wasn't laughing at you." Zhang Yunting looked at that arrogant mushroom face and immediately started laughing again, quickly covering his mouth.

Li Ming's lips were still twitching: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you were ugly, you are very handsome." After saying that, he couldn't hold back anymore, turned his head to use the ice mushroom as cover, and his shoulders kept shaking.

"Sorry, you're actually very cute! Haha." After saying that, Bai Yu turned around.

"Hmph, you have good taste." The CEO's anger subsided somewhat. He then crossed his arms and looked at Si Yunming, who was now the only one left.

"I'm sorry." Si Yunming said those two words and then fell silent. The domineering CEO was extremely dissatisfied. "Hey, what kind of attitude is this? Is this all the sincerity you have for an apology? Is two words enough? Hey, say something! If you don't say something, I'll kick you out!"

"Boss, that's just how Brother San Dian is. He talks like that to everyone. Don't take it to heart." Xu Jiawei immediately tried to smooth things over for Si Yunming, finally managing to appease Mushroom.

At this moment, the temperature inside the room, which was initially a bit cold, began to gradually rise.

Even Xu Jiawei noticed it; she didn't know how high the temperature was outside, and since there were no windows, she couldn't see.

So I continued to put the Ice Pills on the shelves, but I was interrupted by the CEO's matter.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Now selling Ice Pills, poison pills that can freeze people into ice blocks. Tested, they can freeze people into ice blocks at 150 degrees Celsius. Use with caution; we are not responsible for any deaths caused by freezing!]

[Bumblebee: You guys even have something like this? Put it on sale right away!]

[I'm not a domineering CEO: I'd rather freeze to death than be roasted alive! My god, the sea is boiling, it's amazing I'm still alive.]

[Meme: If we jump into the sea, won't we turn into boiled meat slices? Won't the aquatic creatures cook too?]

[How awkward: Probably not, the sea is very deep, maybe they've all escaped to the deep sea.]

Upon seeing the message, Xu Jiawei's expression grew even more serious. The seawater was boiling; how hot was it outside?

[Red: Ahhh, the Ice Pill from the master is really useful! My legs are frozen solid, I can barely move, and I can't feel any heat anymore. Just please don't freeze my nose.]

[Eat Well: Upstairs, why don't you just burn your nose with fire?]

The Frost Pills were snapped up immediately. Xu Jiawei sold them and collected a large amount of Frost Beads and herbs. Now, only the CEO had nothing to do, so he chose to continue refining Frost Pills. As soon as the crucible was taken out, the temperature in the room rose a little more.

However, the Frost Pills probably won't be enough to survive the natural disaster. If the CEO refines some more, we can keep some stock.

After all, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and this igloo feels a bit shaky.
