Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei ate some fruit first, because she needed to be full to have the energy to work.

Rubbing her hands together, Xu Jiawei pulled out her purple longsword and prepared to open the chest. She used the sword to pry open the chest, which effectively prevented monsters from rushing in. Opening the chest was very simple; it was mostly empty. Even if there were monsters, Xu Jiawei would kill them with a single slash.

Xu Jiawei glanced at the guaranteed score of [100/100], then took out the golden treasure chest. Xu Jiawei washed her hands again and begged the system god for help!

Trembling, I opened the treasure chest.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 5 Space Stones, 1 Basic Pharmacology skill, 1 Talent Upgrade Scroll, 1 Gold Equipment, and 1 Agility Fruit]

The items are pretty good, but why do I feel like I got less stuff than from the last silver treasure chest?

Survival System: That was the backdoor I opened for you last time!

Without further hesitation, Xu Jiawei used the talent upgrade ticket directly.

[Ding! Congratulations on upgrading your talent to C-level! You, the Mushroom-Picking Girl (C-level is maxed out, can be upgraded further with Talent Upgrade Tickets), have a natural affinity for mushrooms. You will gain the ability to cultivate mushrooms three times a day, increasing the size of your cultivation dish (cultivation time reduced to four hours). Due to mushroom poisoning, you will gain poison immunity upon entering the game. You can fuse mushrooms with different items and your strong desires to cultivate new varieties (note: the synthesis probability depends on the items fused). You will gain the skill: Parasitic Spores.]

In other words, the previous failures were not only due to luck, but also related to the items being fused.

Xu Jiawei looked at the petri dish, which had expanded to more than three times its original size, startling the bronze mushroom. She then slowly approached to observe it, and the planting option reappeared in the petri dish.

The bronze mushroom shook its head in confusion. Xu Jiawei ordered, "Plant the delicious mushrooms first, and then plant the healing mushrooms after that."

The bronze mushroom nodded and began planting.

【Parasitic Spores: Spread spores in the air; if inhaled or contaminated, they will parasitize the target's body, causing a slowing effect and continuous damage. Mana cost: 20】

This skill is perfect for ambushes.

Xu Jiawei took out the Golden Weapon Spinner and rubbed her hands together, wondering what kind of golden equipment she could get.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Invisibility Cloak (Gold): Wearing it makes you invisible, unseen and untouchable, for 15 minutes.]

This equipment is good, but Xu Jiawei saw that the cooldown time is 24 hours, so it seems that it can only be used to save her life. Alternatively, releasing parasitic spores while wearing an invisibility cloak is also a good option.

After eating the Agility Fruit, Agility increases by 1. Xu Jiawei didn't eat it, but put it away. She had a bold idea: what if she fused the mushroom and the Agility Fruit to get an Agility Mushroom? But she'd have to wait until tomorrow when the wish refreshes.

Xu Jiawei opened the book on basic pharmacy. The book mainly covers how to prepare medicines, knowledge of medicinal herbs, methods of harvesting, and basic formulas. Xu Jiawei read it like a treasure. It explained how to prepare healing potions, as well as the formulas for the three basic potions: mana potions and stamina potions. That was enough for her.

I reluctantly put the book down, only to find that I couldn't learn it with one click. Thumbs down.

Today's treasure chest rush has begun. Xu Jiawei got several silver treasure chests in the snake cave, and just in time, she opened them all as guaranteed.

They also opened any remaining treasure chests on the raft.

In the end, several monster corpses were obtained.

Open the silver treasure chest again.

[Congratulations to the player who has obtained 1 awning blueprint, 1 raincoat blueprint, 1 water purifier blueprint, and 1 deluxe package]

Xu Jiawei stared blankly at the lavish meal that had been served; this was the first time she had ever ordered food.

Inside was a classic "old man's meal": fried chicken, a hamburger, and a Coke. Xu Jiawei looked at the meal and tears welled up in her eyes.

This is the best meal she's had since coming to the Survival World.

Awning blueprints and raincoat blueprints? Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, it really looks like it's going to rain.

Never mind, let's open the box!

For the entire day, Xu Jiawei was either opening boxes or on her way to open boxes, with the next silver treasure chest about to be opened.

[Congratulations to the player who has obtained Rain Boots Blueprint*1, Wooden Bed Blueprint*1, and Skill Upgrade Ticket*1]

What are skill upgrade tickets? Are they used to upgrade skills?

[Skill Upgrade Ticket: Increases skill level by 1]

Xu Jiawei tried to use it on the guaranteed reward without thinking, but the system said it couldn't be used. It also couldn't be used on the wishing skill, so she could only regretfully use it on the spirit enchantment skill.

The Enchantment spell has become a group skill, allowing multiple identical objects to be enchanted at once.

As night approached, Xu Jiawei used the wooden bed blueprints to make a bed. Although she was still sleeping on a wooden board, at least she wasn't sleeping on the ground anymore. The weather was getting a bit chilly at night, so sleeping indoors was better than sleeping outside.

[System notification: Your friend, the Lucky One, has gifted you a four-piece bedding set*1, a luxury mattress*1, a silk quilt*1, toothpaste and toothbrush*1, and women's shampoo*1. Please check your mail.]

[The lucky one is here: Sister, please don't be disgusted, these are all unused. You mentioned before that you had bad luck, so you must be short of basic necessities. This was specially prepared for you.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Thanks. By the way, is there anything you need? I'll give it to you, otherwise I'd feel awkward accepting it.]

[The lucky one is here: Could you please give me some more snake meat? That piece of snake meat saved my life, and I'd like to stock up on more.]

Xu Jiawei hesitated for a moment. Was snake meat enough? She had just been to Snake Island, where there was an absurd amount of snake meat. So she sent 100 yuan to the lucky guy. There wasn't much else, just plenty of snake meat.

[The lucky one is here: ??? Wow, so many experts! How many snakes did you kill?]

The European Emperor's tone became increasingly respectful here.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Not much, ask me for more if you need more.]

[The lucky one is here: You're so awesome!]

Take out the delicious mushrooms. Hmm, today's mushrooms are steak flavored, but I'd rather eat the real ones.

Xu Jiawei picked up her basic pharmacy textbook again, and as she read, she got itchy fingers and wanted to prepare the medicine, but unfortunately, she didn't have the tools.

Xu Jiawei slept well tonight.

【Ocean Survival Calendar Day 05, 06:30 Weather: Cloudy】

The alarm rang precisely at 6:30. Xu Jiawei got up and washed up, then immediately used her wish, hoping to fuse it into a mushroom that increases agility. Xu Jiawei then took out the mushroom and the agility fruit, and the two slowly merged.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Agility Mushroom. Consuming it instantly grants +1 Agility. Limited to one use per day; it will not take effect after three uses (this seems to not apply to the creator). This is a mutated mushroom fused by the creator AAA Mushroom Fairy, carrying the creator's strong wishes.]

[Congratulations to the player for creating a crop with unique attributes! You have been awarded one fruit of your choice.]

Xu Jiawei looked at the list of attribute fruits and was surprised to find a lucky attribute fruit. Without any hesitation, she chose it.

I can try cultivating lucky mushrooms tomorrow.

"Plant the Agile Mushroom, Little Bronze." Little Bronze is the name Xu Jiawei gave to the Bronze Mushroom.

Little Bronze nodded and continued to stare at the petri dish.

She ate the agile mushroom.

With nothing else to do, and since the fishing box was automatic, Xu Jiawei took the opportunity to study basic pharmacy again.

Before we knew it, several hours had passed, and the treasure chest rush had begun.

Ready to unpack.

We'll try to get the guaranteed minimum payout by this morning.

[A lucky person here: Can you take me to the island?]
