Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Didn't you check it after he made the selection? You've neglected your duties and don't deserve to be in our association. Get out!!" The association president who organized the event was furious.

"President, please forgive me! I know I was wrong! I'll never do it again..." the man shouted as security dragged him away.

"President of the Pharmacist Association, I'm so sorry this time. I failed to supervise my subordinates properly." The president who organized the event looked at him with some guilt.

He waved his hand, forcing himself to remain calm: "Now we should discuss how to rescue them, and what's the deal with Duke Is's eldest son?"

"Okay, I'll find someone to go to the island for rescue right away!" He said and immediately went to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, the president of the Pharmacists' Association and others came to Duke Is to demand an explanation.

......

"Tsk, Duke Is deliberately withholding information, are you trying to wipe us all out?!" The president of the Pharmacist Association was the first to speak out.

Duke Is: ? ? ?

"I don't understand what you're saying. Are you here to cause trouble?" Duke Is expressed his dissatisfaction. These people from the association were really barbaric and had no manners at all. They were making a scene at his house.

"Ha, causing trouble! If anything happens to one of my association's geniuses, my Pharmacist Association will fight you to the death!" President Xu Jiawei slammed her hand on the table, breaking it in two.

"Pharmacist Guild Master, calm down. Duke Is, quickly call your son out. We need to ask what happened. Your son chose the location, and now there's a major blunder. We must find out the details."

It turns out there was a problem with the event. The venue was indeed chosen by his son, who has never made a mistake before. What happened?

So he called his son over, intending to have him apologize and smooth things over.

"Father, what is it that you called me here for?" A young man who looked to be about 25 years old walked over, and the head of the pharmacists' association was furious when he saw him.

He even considered slapping someone to death.

"These are the presidents who are looking for you. Ask them what's going on," Duke Is said.

"Hey kid, didn't you notice anything unusual about the lake when you were inspecting it?" another president asked.

Little Is lowered his head, a dark glint flashing in his eyes where no one could see, then looked up as if in great surprise and asked, "What lake? Does that island have a lake?"

"I'm sorry, there was no lake when I sent people to check. Is it a newly appeared lake?"

"Playing dumb, huh? This lake has been on maps for hundreds of years. You're telling me there's no lake?!" The apothecary guild leader slammed his hand on the table, breaking the newly replaced table in two.

"President of the Apothecary Association, please watch your attitude. My manor does not welcome your tantrums. Also, my son has already said he has never seen that lake, and that means he has never seen it. He doesn't lie." Duke Is also lost his temper, having just broken two tables in a short while. Did he think his family wholesaled tables?

The group of people who came to demand an explanation exchanged glances and then attacked Little Is directly.

Given the previous example, it's not impossible that Isaiah Jr. could be replaced.

The president of the Pharmacist Association splashed a bottle of light-attribute healing potion directly on Little Is. The potion acted like sulfuric acid on him, corroding his entire skin, and Little Is cried out in pain.

Duke Is could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up, both shocked and furious: "President of the Apothecary Guild, what have you done?! How dare you pour poison on my son! I'll kill you!!!"

"I only used a regular healing potion with the light attribute. That guy isn't your son anymore!"

"You're talking nonsense! How could a healing potion with the Light attribute have such an effect!" Duke Is grabbed the collar of the president of the Apothecary Association and roared.

"If you don't believe me, look for yourself, I still have half a bottle left."

"Duke Is, the apothecary guild leader is right. Your son was probably replaced by something in the lake. He's not your son at all," the others explained.

Duke Is tremblingly took the bottle and examined it for a long time. Then, his face turned pale, and he looked up at his son in disbelief.

Little Is no longer concerned about the corroded wounds on his body, and instead chuckled softly: "We've been discovered. I didn't expect you to be so clever. Hehehe, all your geniuses will die on this island I've carefully chosen. The world will ultimately belong to us. Enjoy these last moments of joy."

After saying that, he disappeared in front of the group, and the others tried to grab him but missed.

Duke Is collapsed to the ground, wailing, "My son, my son! I shouldn't have entrusted this task to you! It's all my fault, all my fault!"

The group offered some words of comfort to Duke Is, after all, he was in a terrible situation, as his son's death was indirectly caused by them. They said, "Please accept our condolences; the dead cannot be brought back to life."

At this moment, Xu Jiawei finally landed on the ground. She stood up and found herself surrounded by darkness. She took out a flashlight and began to observe her surroundings. The surroundings were pitch black, and the others lay on the ground, unconscious and in pain.

It looks like it's about to turn into a demonized human.

Xu Jiawei quickly used the Light Purification technique to gradually dispel the dark aura that had seeped into her body.

When the black marks on his teammate's body disappeared, the pain on his face also vanished. He slowly opened his eyes. "Captain, thank you for saving me again."

Xu Jiawei nodded and then began to disperse the others. When there were still two people left, one of them went berserk and tried to attack Xu Jiawei.

He completely lost his mind.

Xu Jiawei could only increase the dosage of the Light Purification, and the man clutched his head in pain. As the demonic markings on his body gradually disappeared, he stopped struggling. Until the demonic markings completely disappeared, the crazed man also fainted.

Si Yunming didn't need to worry about it; he simply absorbed the dark energy into his body and went off to digest it on his own.

After purifying the last person, Xu Jiawei was exhausted and went to rest.

"There's really nothing here," Xu Jiawei sighed. The surrounding darkness continued to seep into everyone's bodies, so Xu Jiawei could only create a protective shield of light purification around everyone, including Si Yunming.

You can't just keep inhaling like that; you don't want any health problems to occur.

"We don't know what's going on here, so let's find a way," Xu Jiawei asked Si Yunming and the other Tang Monks.

"Captain, we'll all listen to you."

"Yes, Captain, wherever you say we go, we go. If you say east, I'll never go west. If you say to beat a dog, I'll never chase a chicken!"

Si Yunming: Where did she find this partner?

"Okay, let's head in this direction first!" Xu Jiawei waved her hand, and the others followed.

"Yes, Captain!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Si Yunming: ......

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the surroundings were still shrouded in darkness. Xu Jiawei was getting impatient. This black mist could amplify negative human emotions, just like now, and everyone was starting to become irritable.

Just before everyone erupted, they heard a different sound.

Xu Jiawei gestured for everyone to be on alert, and then cautiously approached. At that moment, Xu Jiawei heard the familiar voice she had been longing for day and night.

She looked up and saw a familiar figure—the one she would recognize even if he were ashes, the one she dreamed of killing at night.

Xu Jiawei sneered, "Lin Chengye! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
