Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"System, is this the disaster zone we were in before?" Xu Jiawei asked again.

[Ding! Congratulations! You guessed correctly! You are among the top ten in this natural disaster event and will receive a piece of land for free, which will be automatically reclaimed upon your death. (Although you might not die.)]

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiawei received the reward and a large spinning wheel appeared in front of her.

The turntable was covered with tiny, ant-like characters, which appeared to be the names of addresses.

I didn't expect the system to be so trendy, it even has a lottery system.

She spun the wheel, and the final destination was an island in the middle of a lake. It was another island, and Xu Jiawei was curious, so she chose to go there.

Seeing the familiar scenery, Xu Jiawei didn't expect that this island in the middle of the lake was the same one she had visited before. Back then, she had thought how wonderful it would be if this place were hers. Little did she know that after all the twists and turns, this place really was hers.

"This place is indeed quite nice; it can barely serve as a place for me to stay."

Xu Jiawei turned her head in surprise. When did Mushroom God arrive?

"Why are you here?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"What, can't I come?" The Mushroom God raised his head arrogantly.

"No, it's just that I feel your information network is quite good." She had just acquired a piece of land when the Mushroom God arrived right after; his information network was indeed very efficient.

However, the chat group is already in an uproar over the land issue.

[Kinmen: No, didn't the system say it would give us all the land in the world? Why do we have to pay to buy it? Are we just given the right to buy it?]

[French Fries Guy: That's not all! Did you see the next sentence? It says the character is automatically reclaimed upon death. This is practically treating us like pigs!]

[Phoenix: System, please explain why we're being forced to buy this. If we die after purchasing it, won't our descendants be able to inherit it?]

[System: Yes, dear. However, if your descendants want to inherit it, we can sell it at a discount.]

[Time Loop: They really are treating us like pigs.]

[Flower wreath: But I still want to have my own home.]

[Scholarly Mansion: Isn't the ship our home? Let's just keep drifting on the sea.]

[Big Event: But land prices might rise in the future, so buying now might allow you to make a profit later.]

Gold: Why didn't you say the price might even drop?

The chat channel is already buzzing with debate about whether or not to buy a house. Some people say yes, some say no, but most of the people in their guild have already bought one.

The authorities have already purchased the city-building permit and are preparing to build the city.

The city-building order was specially provided by the system to official organizations like them. It was very expensive, but the officials still gritted their teeth and bought a few plots of land.

Of course, Xu Jiawei, as the leader of the first guild, also obtained the qualification to purchase and received the city-building token.

She also gained the right to use a large area of ​​land, and guild members could also move the acquired land to their cities.

Xu Jiawei looked at the minimum price of 100 million, gritted her teeth and bought it anyway. Being the city lord herself was better than living under someone else's roof, right? She directly used this island in the middle of the lake as the center and bought all the surrounding land.

The purchase price of land could reach up to 1000 million, and Xu Jiawei paid for it without hesitation, using the gold coins she had accumulated during this period.

Xu Jiawei was heartbroken and her heart ached.

After Xu Jiawei purchased the city building order, the system immediately released a message in the guild channel.

[Ding! Guild leader AAA Mushroom Fairy has purchased a city-building token. Guild members can choose to relocate to the city. All the gold coins from the land you purchased will be paid to the city lord.]

[Robert: Wow, impressive! Such a large plot of land. But even our guild can't use that much land.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It's alright, we can recruit other people to our city.]

After all, she has a great reputation; if she just says the word, many people would be willing to come.

Moreover, after building her own city, Xu Jiawei can generate multiple sources of income, such as taxes, and she wants to make Mushroom City the most prosperous city.

That's right, Xu Jiawei named her city Mushroom City, using her nickname and the name given by her guild. As for city planning, Xu Jiawei has already divided the city into residential, commercial, and entertainment areas according to the system's template.

You don't need to worry about anything; just follow the system's plan.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Jiawei posted her message on the chat channel, she received many relocation applications.

After all, a city with a powerful figure in charge is definitely safe, and they might even become unofficial members of the Mushroom Alliance.

[Compound Fertilizer: Boss, I want to go too!]

[Comedian: Me too! Me too!]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Don't worry, everyone. The city is huge; everyone can enter.]

[Official Chinese announcement: The official city is recruiting players; all applications will be approved.]

[Jinmei Gang: Recruiting new members in the city; applications will be approved.]

There are recruitment notices for players everywhere now, but Xu Jiawei's city is the most popular, and it became lively in just a few hours.

Of course, Xu Jiawei reserved places for all her guild members, including Li Ming and Mighty King Kong who haven't returned yet.

As soon as they return, they can be teleported into the city immediately.

With land secured, the next step was building houses. People with civil engineering skills found their niche and spent their days constructing houses for others. Xu Jiawei, as the city lord, also set rules requiring that the style be as uniform as possible.

If a house is like a fairy palace and its neighbor's house is like a doghouse, that's just not right. Of course, let them choose their own style.

Whatever style you want, just vote to decide.

Finally, mushroom houses rose from the ground. The players who entered the city unanimously decided that their architectural style should match the city's name. Since it was called Mushroom City, mushrooms should naturally be the main element in Mushroom City.

Xu Jiawei was both amused and exasperated, never expecting her city to have transformed into a fairytale fantasy.

But Mushroom God was very satisfied. For the first time, he discovered a city that suited his tastes so well, even better than his previous holy cities, so he decided to stay there forever.

That's right, they're promoting their mushroom clan like this. No wonder they're their successors; they're actually trying to revive the name of the Mushroom God.

Of course, Xu Jiawei had no idea what the Mushroom God was thinking, but to be honest, the colorful mushrooms gathered together did look quite nice.

After completing the buildings, the players didn't rest; they started building public facilities, such as roads, streetlights, and greenery.

Everyone is very enthusiastic about building their own city, and these public facilities are all built in the shape of mushrooms.

For example, the streetlights are all mushroom-shaped, and even the green belts are made of fluorescent mushrooms of different sizes. They look quite nice together, but Xu Jiawei doesn't know if they have any air-purifying effect.
