Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

For Xu Jiawei now, starting to cut down trees and build a house again is like playing house. The trees are ridiculously fragile and can be cut down very easily.

Just like the little game Xu Jiawei used to play, you could just chop at a tree a couple of times and it would fall down and automatically break down into wood.

Thanks to the attribute mushrooms she's been feeding these past few days, Xu Jiawei's abilities are getting stronger and stronger.

In just a few minutes, Xu Jiawei had gathered all the wood. Next, all that was left was thatch. However, she could only gather one thatch at a time, and it was very likely to be a weed, making the gathering efficiency too slow.

So I still need to make a sickle, but luckily I have some extra iron and wood.

So he made a sickle and began to ruthlessly harvest the weeds on the ground.

[Ding! Player has collected 3 pieces of thatch]

[Ding! Player has collected 2 pieces of thatch]

........

Xu Jiawei transformed into a lawn-cutting expert, and soon all the grass in the area was gone. Looking at the patchy, bald-like lawn, Xu Jiawei looked somewhat uneasy, thinking that destroying the environment was shameful.

But there's no way around it; not all grass is thatch, most of it is weeds.

Xu Jiawei finally collected 100 thatch grasses after cutting down a large area.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have collected all the materials. Please select the location of your shelter.]

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to choose a safe location for the shelter, such as a cave or next to a boulder, so that she wouldn't find herself in a situation where she was surrounded by enemies.

Xu Jiawei finally chose a spot next to a boulder. It was just a boulder, so there was no need to worry about the mountain collapsing. The back of the shelter was also right next to the boulder, so there was one less side to defend.

Soon a small thatched hut appeared next to the boulder. The hut was about 5 meters long and wide. When you went inside, the hut was drafty on all sides. Xu Jiawei was very skeptical. Could this kind of hut really defend against the monster that was there during the day?

The housing information was opened.

Shelter (temporary)

Rating: 1

Defense: 20

Skill: Protective Shield (Limited Time: 3 Days)

Shield HP: 200000

(Please continue leveling up)

Seeing the incredibly thick protective shield and the high HP, Xu Jiawei finally breathed a sigh of relief, even though it was only for 3 days.

It's 3 PM now, so she can still go out for a stroll. Even if she doesn't find the treasure chest, cutting down some trees would be a good idea.

As soon as Xu Jiawei stepped out of the shelter, a system pop-up appeared.

[Ding! Players are requested to return to the shelter before 7 PM, or face the consequences (if you don't want to become monster food).]

Xu Jiawei resolutely went out the door, and then a green dot appeared on her system map, indicating the location of the shelter, and a red dot, which seemed to be her own location.

Xiao Fen stood protectively beside Xu Jiawei. After what happened last time, Xiao Fen dared not leave Xu Jiawei's 5-meter distance. She simply stayed around Xu Jiawei, fearing that the white mist might have another chance to attack.

The damaged parts of Xu Jiawei's protective suit have not been repaired, nor can they be repaired, since there are currently no materials available.

Having chosen a direction, Xu Jiawei walked firmly toward it.

With Little Pink, Xu Jiawei no longer needs to carefully explore. Now her visibility range is 5 meters in radius. Rainbow also sent out her little brothers to search for treasure chests everywhere. With the addition of the Mushroom Army, Xu Jiawei's efficiency in finding treasure chests has doubled.

She finally experienced what it felt like to have a cheat code in a survival game, which made up for her regrets. Thinking back to the first time she entered a survival game, she felt an urgent sense of impending death every day. It's true that she can't empathize with her past self now.

It's like a max-level player returning to the starting village to do quests.

Rainbow called out, and its little brother discovered another treasure chest. Xu Jiawei thought to herself with delight, "I'm so busy every day. I've already found five treasure chests, but I haven't had time to collect them yet. It's a sweet trouble."

Suddenly Rainbow cried out urgently, "Master, my mushroom guards have been killed!" Rainbow said anxiously.

Xu Jiawei's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression: "Where is it? Let's hurry over there."

The rainbow immediately grew larger, hoisted Xu Jiawei onto its head, and headed towards the direction where its little brother had last delivered the message.

The red earthworm and the pink one clung tightly to the rainbow, which then sped away like a gust of wind.

Soon, a tearing sound came from afar. When Xu Jiawei looked closely, she found that her mushroom guards were being torn to pieces by a pack of wolves.

Anger blazed in Xu Jiawei's eyes. Ignoring the drain on her mana, she released a cocoon of light, surrounding several giant wolves. The wolves frantically tore at the cocoon, but Xu Jiawei sneered and added another layer, completely encircling the wolves.

Rainbow was anxiously trying to piece together the mushroom fragments that had broken into several pieces. At this moment, Xu Jiawei had no potions at all; they were all in her spatial bracelet and she couldn't take them out. She had no idea what to do.

Rainbow thought for a moment and used grafting to give its little brother new limbs. The mushroom was repaired, but it still didn't move. This was the first time that the mushroom hadn't woken up even though its body had been repaired.

In the past, although the mushroom army often lost limbs or even more serious injuries, these mushrooms could repair themselves automatically, and there was never a situation like this now.

Looking at the heartbroken rainbow, Xu Jiawei said, "Rainbow, I can re-imbue it with its spirit, but I can't guarantee that the mushroom that awakens again will still be the same rainbow."

Rainbow nodded, and then Xu Jiawei used the spirit-attaching technique. The dead mushroom slowly opened its eyes, let out two cries, and jumped around.

Looking at the rainbow's expression, Xu Jiawei couldn't figure out the answer, but she decided to just let it be as it was and have a beautiful dream. After all, one must always have hope while living.

At this moment, the cocoon of light was about to break free. Xu Jiawei did not expect that the cocoon of light, which even the shadow of the evil god was wary of, was now teetering on the brink of collapse. How could this be? These wolves were clearly not very strong in combat. What was going on?

Xu Jiawei's face darkened, and she added another layer to the light cocoon. Then she asked, "System, system, why aren't you reporting any monster information? How can these things break free from my light cocoon?" After all, the system paid close attention to her, and she was probably being arrogant because of its favor.

[Ding! Player has encountered a group of monsters. The monsters are level 25 and possess special skills. Fight to the death!]

[A desperate gamble: Unleashing a 10x attack within ten minutes.]

No wonder it was able to break through her light cocoon; that skill is too powerful. Xu Jiawei is envious.

But her mana bar is almost depleted. Unfortunately, her equipment has been disabled, so the automatic regeneration speed is extremely slow. The potions are still stuck in her inventory. Is she going to suffer a major setback?

No, absolutely not. Thinking back to how we fought without mana regeneration, Xu Jiawei's expression hardened, and she gave up on using this high-energy-consuming skill.

As soon as Xu Jiawei stopped, the giant wolves broke free and pounced on her one after another. Xu Jiawei dodged them; she had no mana, but she still had her talent.

That Exploding Mushroom isn't unusable, but if you actually use it, the huge noise would attract all the creatures.
