Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

An hour later, Xu Jiawei was woken up by Zhang Yunting, but she was still very tired after only an hour of rest.

I wonder if there are any potions that can restore energy. Xu Jiawei opened the advanced version of Basic Pharmacy and sure enough, there was an energy potion inside. Xu Jiawei looked at the pile of herbs she brought back from the Medicine Island and realized that she could actually gather a few.

I made an energy potion according to the method in the book. I failed the first time, but I made a rough energy potion the second time. It seems that I have quite a talent.

After drinking the medicine, Xu Jiawei instantly felt refreshed.

Continue making healing potions. Hsu Chia-Wei's potions sell for 40 basic materials, while the potions made by Mushrooms generally restore 5-10 health points, so they are priced at 15-25 basic materials.

Next, due to the deaths of people and the efforts of the mushrooms, fewer people bought rain shelters, and the pace slowed down. Those who had the materials bought them, while those who didn't were still gathering them, so there wasn't such a rush. What was lacking now was healing potions. Since Xu Jiawei hadn't cured the mushrooms, she could only make potions to save their lives.

However, equipment is insufficient, and medicine is in short supply. If you encounter difficulties, contact the authorities.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Do you have any more experimental equipment? A few more pots and a stove, please.]

Looking at the message from Mushroom, Zhang Yunting fell into deep thought and sent a message to the mysterious group.

Seeing the reply from his superior, Zhang Yunting responded to Xu Jiawei.

[Leader: Mushroom, there's a special crucible for making medicine here, brought out by a companion who paid the ultimate price on the island.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: What are the conditions?]

[Leader: We can sell to you, for just 100 bottles of ordinary potions, on one condition: you must give us priority access to anything. You're very capable, perhaps even more capable than we imagine. The higher-ups are willing to take a gamble on you.]

Something that Zhang Yunting values ​​so highly must be a good thing, so Xu Jiawei immediately agreed, and the two signed a contract.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: By the way, I have some items that increase attributes. They're produced consistently and will sell for a high price. Do you want to pre-order?]

[Leader: We'll take them all. You're really something.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Each person can only eat this three times. Buying too much is useless. Of course, we'll have to wait until the rainstorm ends.]

Zhang Yunting: This is pretty unbelievable, okay? I always feel like Mushroom and I are playing different games.

[Leader: I'll go talk to the higher-ups beforehand and get everything ready. Let me know in advance if there's anything you want.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Then could you keep an eye out for anything that makes glass bottles?]

[System notification: Your friend, the Guide, has gifted you 1 Nameless Crucible.]

Xu Jiawei looked at the crucible, which seemed smaller than her palm and didn't seem very useful. Perhaps to refute Xu Jiawei's words, the crucible suddenly became enormous, pushing aside the worktable next to it, and flames burst into flames from the bottom of the crucible.

Xu Jiawei moved the worktable outside, leaving only this one crucible inside. She couldn't even imagine how many potions could be made in such a large pot at once.

Following the original steps, Xu Jiawei discovered that using this crucible made things much faster; indeed, professional tasks should be left to professional equipment.

Even the final filtration step was skipped; this pot yielded over a hundred bottles of ordinary medicine, which Xu Jiawei delivered directly to Zhang Yunting.

There were even a few bottles of intermediate-level potions. How come the effects of potions from the same pot were different? This crucible is really a good thing. I've gotten a great deal.

The previous pot was handed over to the working mushrooms, and Xu Jiawei made ordinary potions. The mushrooms continued to make substandard products, and Xu Jiawei barely kept up with market demand.

By the afternoon, Xu Jiawei even had some leftover stock.

[Leader: Mushroom, go and rest after you finish making these awnings. We have enough stock for tonight.]

After delivering these rain shelters, Xu Jiawei paused the potion-making process and let the mushrooms continue. Now, Xu Jiawei only has crucibles left, and she doesn't know if the mushroom soup cooked in a crucible will taste better.

The crucible was resized to a normal size, and water, salt, and delicious mushrooms were added. Soon, a fragrant aroma filled the air. Xu Jiawei even made her own chopsticks from a wooden board. She ate directly from the pot, and the taste was even better. She never expected the crucible to have this function.

After finishing her meal, Xu Jiawei washed the pot and continued making the medicine.

Suddenly the raft rocked, and Xu Jiawei put the potion she had made up in the system shop. Unexpectedly, the sharks came again in this kind of weather, and the chat channel was full of howls.

When she went outside, it was raining heavily. Xu Jiawei put on her raincoat and went out.

She couldn't see anything outside, just a curtain of pouring rain, and Xu Jiawei couldn't see the shark at all.

She could only take out her bow and arrows and shoot around the raft. Sure enough, the impacts decreased. Xu Jiawei ran towards the direction of the impact, but by the time she arrived, the sharks had already escaped.

Xu Jiawei could only keep firing around the raft, and after an unknown amount of time, there was finally no movement.

I feel like I need to practice my archery. I still have a few arrows stuck in the raft. At this rate, I'm not going to be accurate.

Practicing magic proficiency and learning advanced basic pharmacology—she's so busy! Oh, and she also needs to learn some fighting skills; she's too unskilled right now.

After returning, Xu Jiawei stopped making potions and began researching advanced basic pharmacology. In addition to energy potions, she also developed potions that temporarily increased strength, as well as potions that temporarily increased speed and defense.

We can't just focus on acquiring resources and forget about improving ourselves.

Before going to sleep, Xu Jiawei made another potion and listed it in the system shop before going to bed.

The next day, Xu Jiawei was awakened by the sound of rain. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Xu Jiawei felt that the awning behind her was about to collapse.

I shared my thoughts with Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunting agreed.

So Zhang Yunting told everyone in the chat channel to upgrade their rafts to level three.

Xu Jiawei used her wish to create defensive mushrooms, and now she has collected them all. She had Little Bronze plant one batch of defensive mushrooms, and the rest were used to plant healing enoki mushrooms.

These past few days, Xu Jiawei has been making rain shelters and potions. Towards the end, she has to buy even less, so she has time to practice archery and even improve her magic proficiency.

Everyone in the chat channel felt depressed; more and more people were dying, and the heavy rain seemed to be drowning the world.

Xu Jiawei went to open the chests. It had taken her several days to collect just one guaranteed treasure chest. It was nothing compared to the treasure chest craze. She took out the silver treasure chest and opened it.

Congratulations to the player who has obtained a Mainland Pass*1, a Window Blueprint*1, and 200 Gold Coins.

What is a Mainland Travel Permit?

[Mainland Travel Permit allows you to travel to mainland China for 12 hours (be careful not to anger the indigenous people!)]

In other words, are there other intelligent beings in this world besides humans?

Xu Jiawei showed interest.
