Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The life deity is inclusive and respectful of differences. It does not simply absorb deities, but rather acts as a hub, connecting different deities together.

Xu Jiawei took a deep breath. There was still some time before the first activity ended, so the group swept through the surrounding small trials again, since even a small mosquito is still meat.

When the event ended, the player who had just joined the team was still in disbelief. He had never dreamed of getting such a high score. He decided that he would stick close to the leader and become a good follower.

As time ended, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the first stage of the challenge. The first stage leaderboard is now available.]

......

The second phase of the mission begins, and the first round of matchmaking will start in three minutes. After each round of matches, players will have a break.

Note: Matchmaking occurs once every hour. If the battle cannot be resolved within one hour, it will be considered a draw, and players will be immediately teleported to the next round. Please manage your time accordingly.

Players who are currently lagging behind should not be discouraged. As long as you make it into the top 100 in the second stage, you will receive 50 points for each match you win in the final challenge stage. Of course, if you lose, you will lose 50 points.

The system announcement has ended. We encourage players to participate actively; the top 100 players in the overall rankings will receive rewards!

Everyone got excited when they heard there was a reward.

Xu Jiawei carefully read the game rules, especially the notes. In other words, although there was a one-hour rest period after each match, this rest period was shared with the match. That is, the faster the battle ended, the longer the rest period would be.

When necessary, such as when there is a significant disparity in strength between the two sides, one can choose to concede defeat and prepare for the next match.

Of course, this can also lead some players to deliberately drag out the time, hoping that the opponent will lose patience and give up. It all depends on how other players respond.

If you can kill the last one instantly, the best way is to drag the game out with the opponent until it's a draw, and see who can't take it anymore.

Yan Ling seemed to know a lot about the event and began to teach everyone techniques. Just as Xu Jiawei said, if you encounter someone stalling for time, don't give up. Instead, stall back and forth until everyone is stalling for time. Then they won't get any points and will naturally stop doing it.

In the first two days, some people did use this tactic. Some couldn't stand it and gave up directly. Many people tasted the sweetness of victory, which led to more and more people choosing to stall for time. As a result, later on, no one gave up and they stalled for time with each other, which caused the players who stalled for time to no longer be able to get points. That's when this tactic was abandoned.

Yan Ling then imparted a few useful tips, which Xu Jiawei also heard. Soon, the first match began.

In a flash, Xu Jiawei was teleported to a fighting stage. She had barely steadied herself when she looked at her opponent, who shouted in terror, "I surrender!"

They were afraid that if they shouted too late, they would get beaten up.

The player on the other side was very sad. How could he be so unlucky as to encounter a pro and lose 20 points?

Previously, videos of top players taking down hundreds of players were circulating everywhere, which was terrifying. What if a top player was in a bad mood and dismembered someone's arms and legs? Anyway, if you encounter a top player, just run away.

Before Xu Jiawei could speak, she was teleported back to her original location. She was still a little confused. Was she really that scary? Why did everyone run away as soon as they saw her? Oh well, she'd just wait for the others to come back.

Soon Si Yunming and the others returned, with Bai Jian being the last to arrive. Bai Jian's attributes were very low, but fortunately, the player she encountered also had low attributes. The two engaged in a fierce battle, and in the end, Bai Jian won by a single move.

Even though she's just a player of average skill, she's having such a hard time. Bai Jian feels that her ranking probably won't reach the top 100, but it's not bad as it is now.

She seized the time to recover her strength, while Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to refine some potions, since she had nothing else to do anyway.

The second round of the competition started quickly. Xu Jiawei had just caught a glimpse of someone when another voice said, "I give up." Xu Jiawei was sent back to her original spot again. Wasn't she completely uninvolved in this event?

Isn't there anyone willing to let her give some guidance? This constant forwarding makes her seem so dull.

......

For three whole days, Xu Jiawei was completely numb. Her opponents would admit defeat as soon as they saw her, not giving her a chance to speak at all. Xu Jiawei was speechless.

This competition is absolutely hilarious.

Given Xu Jiawei's skill level, her matches should have been the most exciting. However, because her opponents always chose to concede, even the spectators were getting tired of it, and some even started keeping track of who conceded the fastest.

The fastest time so far is 0.2 seconds. Xu Jiawei was teleported back before she could even see her figure clearly. That player seemed to have a precognitive tool that allowed him to know who his next opponent would be, so he shouted that he had to concede as soon as he was teleported.

After several days of fighting, Xu Jiawei hadn't seen her teammates even once. It seemed that the system was intentionally separating these high-combat-power players to prevent them from meeting.

The task for this stage ended quickly, and the system selected the top 100 players to continue the competition. However, there were many players with the same score in the previous round, so only 123 players met the criteria to enter the next round.

[Ding! Congratulations to the 123rd player who has won a reward: 1 Lucky Treasure Chest]

The final round of the competition will now begin to determine the top 10. This competition adopts an elimination system, with the winners advancing to the winners' bracket and the losers advancing to the losers' bracket.

One player receives a bye in each round, and the final winner is determined at the end.

Note: The top ten, the better the ranking, the better the reward!

Random matching has begun. This round's bye player... Congratulations to this incredibly lucky player who effortlessly made it into the top 50!

Unexpectedly, Li Ming was so lucky. He truly has a lucky talent. As the countdown ended, Xu Jiawei opened her eyes and found herself on the arena.

This time, the opponent didn't admit defeat. Instead, he bowed to Xu Jiawei and said, "Boss, I know I can't beat you, but I also want to fight a real expert and see where the gap is. Please don't hold back."

Finally seeing an opponent renege on their promise, Xu Jiawei felt a surge of satisfaction and said, "Alright, I'll give it my all."

The opponent smiled and said, "Please give me your guidance."

This arena system has a protection mechanism; if a player is in mortal danger, the system will teleport them out, so Xu Jiawei doesn't need to hold back.

She immediately used Photon Meteor, which struck the player at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Before the player could react, he was teleported back to his original position.

The system teleported the person away before the attack occurred.

In less than a second, the player was about to lose, causing an uproar among the spectators.
