Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Practice time always flies by, and soon it was midnight.

[System Announcement: To all survival players, congratulations on passing another survival test. This is a server-wide announcement.]

1. In order to create a better gaming environment for players, the Survival System will be merged at 7:00 AM tomorrow. Servers 32-62 in China will be merged. Since server 62 in China has a higher population ratio, it will be named server 62 in China after the merger.

2. To encourage players to unite and survive, in the server with the largest number of players, each player will receive 1 random attribute point.

3. After the servers are merged, a seven-day treasure chest event will be launched. Players are encouraged to seize the opportunity to prepare for the next natural disaster.

4. A new event is starting: Player Match-Ups. In the coming days, players' activity area will be reduced, making it easier to encounter other players. Players can choose to coexist peacefully or fight each other. If a player kills another player, the player will obtain all of the other player's resources. If two players coexist peacefully, both players will receive a small gift from the system.

Note: If you kill a player whose ship is of a higher level than yours, your ship will instantly evolve and level up. (How tempting is that? If you kill a follower of an evil god, your experience will be doubled, and you will receive a system reward.)

Please stay tuned for further announcements regarding future events. Thank you for your support, and I hope we'll all be alive when we meet again. (The future will be even tougher, so stay strong!)

[Ye Yezi: 32-62? How many people died?]

[The song of prosperity has faded: Actually, that's not necessarily true. There might be many servers that have already been merged or disappeared; it just looks like a lot.]

[Eating: This is terrifying enough. I wonder how many people have died. Are we humans going to go extinct? So tragic.]

[Rainy Bear: Tomorrow we'll be welcoming new players again, and there's also this event tomorrow. Everyone needs to be on their toes and not embarrass our server 62.]

[Wishing for legs that are 1.8 meters long: Is this event trying to make us fight each other?]

[Drink today, for tomorrow we die: Not necessarily. Didn't they say peaceful coexistence brings gifts? But if you encounter a follower of the God of Darkness, go for it!]

[Phoenix: Should we go for it? I have a feeling I'll get counter-killed.]

[Darkness: If you don't want to be killed by us, join us. We'll get along peacefully with our companions, and together we'll worship the God of Darkness!]

[Ye Yezi: Get out, you traitor to humanity.]

[Wishing for legs to be 1.8 meters long: Get lost, you lackey of the evil god.]

[Rainy Bear: +1]

[System Announcement: Player, for spreading information detrimental to unity, you have 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 hunt down the player and will be automatically teleported. The player who successfully kills the player will receive 1 Golden Treasure Chest and 4000 Experience.]

[Lake Water: These guys really don't learn their lesson at all. They know they'll be banned for 100 days and have a bounty on their heads, yet they act like they're not afraid of death.]

[Rainy Bear: This is terrifying to think about! Could these guys really be fearless? Have they been corrupted by demons and turned into mindless monsters?]

[The Mysterious Deity: Who said that?]

[Standing on one leg like a rooster: We're perfectly fine, we haven't been demonized at all.]

[Beauty: Who told you that?]

[Mockingly: Don't speculate, the gods are very kind to us.]

...A long string of messages startled the chat channel into silence for a moment.

[Lake water: My God, this is terrifying! It looks like a fake human.]

[Rainy Bear: Now I'm 100% sure I've been corrupted by a demon. It scared me to death.]

[Ye Yezi: The fakes are showing up? Is our game not called Survival at Sea, but "Identify the Fakes"?]

[Regarding the code: What are the characteristics of a fake person? Has anyone summarized them?]

[Ye Yezi: Maybe they react if I say bad things about evil gods, does that count?]

Ghana: No, some guys can fake it.

[Did it freeze? What should I do?]

Seeing this, Xu Jiawei felt that her test potion and the Brightness Purification Potion could be put on the market.

[AAA Mushroom Sage: Now selling Testing Potions and Light Purification Potions. Testing Potions: Can detect demonic creatures hidden among humans. Light Purification Potions: Can remove the demonic effects in cases of mild demonic possession, but will affect personality; use with caution.] [AAA Mushroom Sage: If you suspect your companions or relatives have been demonized, you can use these potions to test them, or to prove your innocence.]

[Little Angel: I'm sleepy, so you're sending me a pillow! Wow, you're amazing to have something like this. I'm going to buy a bottle as a precaution, just in case I get corrupted by dark energy too.]

[Dancing Maggot: I suggest everyone prepare some. Once the event starts, you can use them to prove your innocence and avoid antagonizing normal players. Our main goal is to kill the corrupted humans.]

[Barbecue: The maggot is right, we normal people shouldn't kill each other.]

[The person who got it for free with a phone top-up: What you said is very good, but who knows who the people coming from tomorrow's server merge will be?]

[Akagi: Then please spread the word! Humanity must unite and stand together against external threats.]

[Ye Yezi: I understand.]

Upon seeing the chat message, Xu Jiawei instructed the mushroom workers to refine test potions and light purification potions. The method was very simple, and even the mushrooms could learn it. Since they stopped refining the Ice Pill, even the domineering CEO had become idle, lounging on the sofa all day doing nothing.

Xu Jiawei tried to teach the CEO how to use these two potions. The CEO was quite adept at using these simple potions and quickly learned how to use them. So he got busy again.

In one night, Xu Jiawei produced nearly 10,000 bottles of mushroom extract.

Soon it was seven o'clock the next day, and the chat channel immediately became lively.

[Lin Jiaqi (Server 59): Xu Jiawei, I'm back! My older brother's here this time, he'll definitely teach you a lesson.]

[Disassembly Symbol (Server 62): Who is your big brother? What's his ranking? He's clearly number one and a big shot, so why is he talking big?]

[Lin Jiaqi (Server 59): How is this possible? How could Xu Jiawei be so strong? My older brother has always been number one on the leaderboard!?]

[Hua Jing (Server 59): Stop talking, let's find Mom and meet up first.]

Xu Jiawei was surprised to see that Lin Huajing had changed his name, which meant that he still had a grudge against Lin Jiaqi.

[Lin Group (Server 59): Xu Jiawei, you are very strong. I agree to let you return to the Lin Group. The past is over.]

[Lin Jiaqi (Server 59): Brother!?]

[Lin Group (Server 59): Jiaqi, be good. I will make it up to you.]

Xu Jiawei watched as this family started acting again. Why did they like acting so much?

This is Lin Jiaqi's older brother, Lin Wenshi, the genius of wind magic? He hasn't even reached the sixth level of magic yet, what kind of genius is he? She's really too nervous. Look at the power ranking, he's only fourth, not even as good as Zhang Yunting. Where does he get such a big face?

Xu Jiawei immediately blocked the person.

[Lin Clan Group (Server 59): @AAA Mushroom Immortal, what's your decision? Joining the Lin Clan Group is a rare opportunity.]

[Ye Yezi (Server 62): Am I just imagining things? This person is only ranked fourth, how come they're behaving like the number one?]

[Eating (62nd post): To be honest, this family is quite something, they have a kind of inexplicable self-confidence.]
