Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

After Xu Jiawei finished tidying up, she found the man still trembling near the small boat, seemingly terrified.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Xu Jiawei was a little confused. Why was this person still here?

Only then did the man come to his senses. "I'm leaving right now, boss, please don't kill me!"

After saying that, he used his hands as oars and frantically paddled at the seawater, trying to get his boat away from this troublesome place as quickly as possible.

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but touch her face. Was she really that scary? Her face was actually quite deceptive.

[Ding! Congratulations! You and another player have chosen to coexist peacefully. The system will give you a random small gift*1]

Xu Jiawei produced a red gift box, which looked quite presentable.

So Xu Jiawei opened the gift box with anticipation.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 1 Versatile Hair Clip (allows you to change your hairstyle any way you want)]

Xu Jiawei took out a hair clip, which seemed like some useless little fashion junk. She didn't know what use it was in the game world, so she just threw it into her bracelet.

On Earth, this would be something many people dream of, but in this precarious gaming world, it becomes something useless to keep but a pity to discard.

[Flower Monster: Oh my god, that scared me to death! I just saw a really cute girl, but there were over 20 empty boats next to her. It was terrifying!]

My style: Yandere girl?

[Pink: Oh no, that infamous "Life and Death Together" guild has disappeared! Which powerful figure killed them? Could it be the same powerful figure you encountered?]

[Flower Monster: Let me think... it seems like all those ships have a concentric ring pattern.]

[Pink: That's it then, it really was that bunch of trash. Good riddance! You ran into the Fellowship of Life and Death guild and actually survived. You're really lucky.]

[Flower Monster: Oh my god, so that means that girl saved me! Mom, I think I'm in love. That girl is so cute!]

[Hanging on the tree: Don't even think about it, maybe it's some big shot.]

[Douhua: I'm really curious about which big shot it is.]

However, Xu Jiawei didn't have time to check the chat channel. She would probably be very happy if she found someone praising her for being cute.

After all, no one would be unhappy to hear someone praise them.

Looking at another fleet of ships approaching from afar, Xu Jiawei wondered if she had committed some kind of divine punishment, as this never seemed to end.

The large fleet of ships that were drifting in seemed to have noticed Xu Jiawei. They adjusted their course and increased their speed as they drifted toward her.

Could this be another hostile visitor? Xu Jiawei frowned and immediately ordered the patrolling guards, Mushroom, to prepare for battle.

This fleet is much larger than the previous one, and if it encounters a strong opponent, it could easily find itself in a tough battle.

In less than ten minutes, the fleet had already closed in.

However, as the fleet approached, the leader first made a friendly gesture, then waved wildly.

Xu Jiawei did not relax after seeing this. Who knew if this person was acting or just trying to make Xu Jiawei lower her guard so that she could prepare to kill him with one blow.

Seeing that Xu Jiawei remained vigilant, the man took out a testing solution and poured it down her throat, then shook the empty bottle around.

Xu Jiawei then relaxed and took out a bottle of test reagent and drank it down.

"Madam, we mean no harm. We just wanted to say hello and see if you are a mutated creature. Since you are not, we'll be leaving now." After saying this, the leader called to the ships following behind and prepared to leave immediately.

Once the team was in formation, the leader waved his hand and said, "Madam, we're leaving now." With that, he led the entire team away.

Seeing that no more ships were coming, Xu Jiawei returned to her room to prepare to practice magic arrays. Compared to potions, if ships came every few minutes, wouldn't all the pots and pans be ruined?

It's better to practice with magic circles. As long as you don't inject magic power, they won't explode. If you really have to stop halfway, you can just redraw them.

Just as Xu Jiawei had expected, she encountered other players more than a dozen times in less than five hours, making her wonder if she had some kind of alluring physique.

Xu Jiawei suddenly remembered that she had a title before, which was originally called Snake Enchantress, but was later changed to Biological Enchantress. Could it be because of that?

But there's no information about any creatures that attract her. Is she just incredibly lucky, or is her initial luck just too low? Whatever it is, Xu Jiawei feels like she can't defend against anything.

Hearing that someone was attacking outside, he tried to sneak onto Xu Jiawei's boat, but ended up bumping into the protective shield with a thud.

Hearing a sound louder than usual, Xu Jiawei knew the impact was definitely not light, and it even made her teeth ache.

Without Xu Jiawei having to lift a finger, the Mushroom Guards took care of those ill-intentioned people, saving Xu Jiawei a lot of trouble.

She wouldn't harm friendly people; she's not a devil.

However, this fake game doesn't let players go even in the middle of the night. Players will still encounter what they're meant to encounter, and many players are too scared to sleep, fearing that if they fall asleep, they will be ambushed in the middle of the night and never wake up again.

[Tomato: Weren't we supposed to get along well? Why the sneak attack?]

[Scrambled Eggs: Because there are quite a few mutated humans mixed in, as for the normal players, please don't fight each other, but unite.]

[Reply: Only fools would unite. It would be foolish not to seize this opportunity to earn resources.]

[Enrich yourself: To the person upstairs, I'll kill you if I encounter you.]

[Cute girl: I like to kill in my dreams.]

[Want some soy milk: Me too.]

[Waffle: I sleepwalk, and in my sleepwalking I become a different person.]

[Let's row our boats: I go into a berserk state while sleepwalking.]

[I am Qin Shi Huang: You guys are really talented.]

[The male god's underwear: If only I could sleep with one eye open and one eye closed.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Are you still struggling to get enough sleep every day? Are you still worried about not having enough time? Now we're selling Energy Potions that will let you go three days without sleep and feel refreshed.]

[Honey water: Wow, wow, does this stuff really work?]

[Afternoon tea: You could buy a bottle to try.]

[Calculus: I think the pro sold this once before, but it was taken down because of poor sales. I always thought this potion was useless.]

[I am Qin Shi Huang: I also remembered, they said it could improve people's mental state, but it was completely useless back then.]

[Destroy Your Paradise: No wonder the boss is so strong, does he never sleep? Won't he lose his hair if he doesn't sleep every day?]

[Wings: Is the pro using a Tyrant King (霸王)?]

[Preservative: Seriously, I've gone bald, but I've also become stronger.]

As the chat channel gradually went off track, Xu Jiawei saw that someone actually said she was bald. She touched her own hair and thought to herself, "Thank goodness I'm not bald. Even if I were, I'd still be a bald beauty."

After putting a batch of energy potions on the shelves, they were quickly sold out. Xu Jiawei also drank a bottle and started working hard through the night. With energy potions, she estimated that server 62 would be in trouble. Xu Jiawei could only work twice as hard to prevent them from surpassing her. Looking at her level, which was almost level 19, she wondered what the effect of leveling up to level 20 would be. Xu Jiawei was even more looking forward to it.

Just then, Si Yunming sent over a late-night snack. He had found some new ingredients while on a mission and specially made it for Xu Jiawei to try.
