Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"You are not allowed to insult the dignity of this system!"

Calling a survival system a welfare system is incredibly malicious; it's like trampling its dignity into the ground.

[Ding! Players have been detected as being too lazy and completely lacking in awareness of the danger. The number of treasure chests has been halved, and the amount of living supplies inside has also been halved. Please prepare accordingly.]

Xu Jiawei secretly entered the chat channel created by the 007 system.

[Meet No. 1: What's wrong with the system?]

[Meet No. 2: Who knows? Anyway, I have enough food to last a year, so halving it is fine.]

[Meimei No. 18: No, you've only been saving for a year? I've been saving for three years.]

[Turtle787: Ah, I've been saving this for five years.]

[Wealthy No. 778: I've been here for 10 years.]

[Meet Number 2: You guys keep bragging.]

Xu Jiawei didn't know what quirks the players here had, or why their names all had numbers after them. Maybe it was just the unique culture of this place.

[FireFire5869: Wait, are you guys still arguing about this? Go check the leaderboard! Some random player with random characters has knocked our number 0 player off the leaderboard.]

[Where's the promised happiness? #78798: Seriously? Another account change? The big boss #0 is going to be changed to #1? This is the first major change in a year!]

[Meet #1: Oh, I have to change it to #2? Sister, hurry up and change it to #3, otherwise I can't change it.]

[Meet No. 2: No, that's too much trouble. Never mind, I'll change it right away.]

[TV series #38457: No, who exactly is this garbled code master?]

[Autistic Person #1: I don't know.]

[Meimei19: No, the big boss has already changed his name. Why is it now "Autistic Person"?]

[Autistic Person #1: Ugh, I'm not worthy of being called a big shot! Go look at the levels of the real big shots!]

[Time 374575: Holy crap, level 93? What the hell? Is this some kind of bug?]

[Weapon #68779: I don't know, where did this level 93 player come from?]

[System 007: Don't you guys know how to work harder? Look at players from other places, they've already reached level 93. You entered the game only half a year apart, how come there's such a big difference?]

[Time 374575: System, as you said, this is someone else's child. Don't compare your own child to others.]

[World Number 284: Hey there, you garbled code guy, can you say something? Are you really level 93?]

Finally, Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and asked.

【（）*#@&*…3…：Do you know where there is a dark aura?】

[Number 1837: Wow, it actually spoke! But why is the name just a jumble of characters?]

[Wealthy No. 778: What is the aura of darkness?]

Xu Jiawei realized that her question was pointless once she saw this.

She then closed the system chat, but soon discovered that the autistic person had added her as a friend and said that he knew about the dark aura.

Xu Jiawei immediately added her as a friend.

[Autistic Person #1: Hi, I know about the dark aura, but I also have a question: how did you level up?]

【（）*#@&*…3…：Upgrading requires killing higher-level monsters and absorbing energy. For example, if you are currently level 60, killing a level 70 monster will grant you more experience.】

The autistic woman looked at the level 10 and 20 creatures in front of her and smiled bitterly. There were no monsters of such high level here. She was able to reach level 60 only by killing monsters day and night.

[Autistic Person #1: The highest level monster here is 20; there are no monsters of higher level.]

【（）*#@&*…3…：Then blame the system; it didn't provide enough experience.】

[Autistic Person #1: It's definitely not a qualified system.]

[System 007: Oh my god, the sky has fallen! How did I fail? You can't find the way and it's my fault? I'm so wronged!]

[System 007: Are your eyeballs just for decoration? Can't you see anything different about them? I'm speechless.]

The system forcefully interrupted their chat and started throwing a tantrum.

[Autistic Person #1: System, you're so cynical, you actually spied on our chat.]

【（）*#@&*…3…：System, this is your mistake. You should provide proper guidance.】

[Self-Isolated Person #1: Okay, this is the area where the black mist appears. You can go and take a look. Thanks for the suggestion, otherwise I'd still be grinding monsters in a level 20 area even after reaching level 70.]

【（）*#@&*…3…：Goodbye.】

Xu Jiawei's friend list is currently completely unreachable, except for the newly added friend in front of her. It seems that she is still quite far from the magical world.

She set off following the address given by the autistic person, and encountered many players along the way. These players were dressed completely differently from Xu Jiawei, and their style was more like a gorgeous fairy tale style.

Xu Jiawei looked quite strange even in her black robe, and the players kept turning around to look at her.

However, she was already used to being watched, so she pretended not to see anything.

"By the way, System, could you also help me scout out the location of the Dark God's stronghold?"

[Dingding: Honey, this feature isn't available in the system.]

Xu Jiawei was speechless, then said, "Can't you just activate it? No wonder you can't compare to the system in our world; you can't even do this much."

I thought my system was unreliable enough, sometimes giving wrong or inaccurate information, but compared to the system of this world, their system is incredibly capable.

If it had been this system in the magical world back then, Xu Jiawei was certain that world wouldn't have lasted more than two months.

[Dingding: Darling, how could you say that to the system? Wait, the system will be able to detect it successfully soon.]

Xu Jiawei first arrived at the area where the autistic person had mentioned the black smoke. The black smoke had started emanating from this area ten hours ago. Based on the time it took Xu Jiawei to resolve the previous stronghold, the time when the black smoke started emanating coincided with the time when the Dark God fled.

This must be where the Dark God fled.

However, when Xu Jiawei arrived here, she felt something was wrong. Why was the dark aura here so thin? Could it be that the God of Darkness had already escaped?

Xu Jiawei hurriedly entered the cave, only to find that it was empty, with only a trace of residual darkness remaining in the cave.

No, we need to find another base quickly, otherwise everything will be taken away.

[Ding ding, the system has located the area with the highest level of dark energy. How about that? I'm pretty amazing, aren't I?]

Xu Jiawei didn't have time to praise the 007 system; she needed to hurry and deal with the remnants of the Dark God's stronghold.

She immediately flew into the air and approached the nearest location at an extremely fast speed.

With the system's help, the world's resistance to Xu Jiawei has decreased significantly.
