Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei would be startled awake by the slightest noise, and she slept very restlessly all night, going back and forth like this.

Because she was in a survival game, her sleep was very light. No matter when or what she was doing, she would stay alert until her mental energy was completely depleted, at which point she would truly pass out.

After enduring this torment, it finally arrived at 6:30 a.m. on the second day. Xu Jiawei opened her sleepy eyes, her dark circles under her eyes were so prominent they could be national treasures.

Xu Jiawei yawned: "Is it already dawn?" Today her body was even more stiff and tired, but she still had to go to collect stones, so Xu Jiawei still drank a bottle of stamina potion.

Her body suddenly felt lighter, although she was still mentally exhausted.

Xu Jiawei sat up, thought for a moment, and then drank a bottle of deworming medicine. The deworming medicine didn't taste good; it was very bitter. But for peace of mind, Xu Jiawei swallowed it anyway.

After drinking it, Xu Jiawei instantly felt better, though perhaps it was just an illusion.

I took out the vegetarian buns from yesterday. They were still steaming hot, thanks to the backpack's preservation function.

The steamed bun was huge; Xu Jiawei couldn't even hold it in one hand. It was bigger than her face.

After eating three large steamed buns and drinking half a bottle of water, Xu Jiawei let out a burp. Her appetite was getting bigger and bigger; the stronger she became, the bigger her appetite became.

I wonder where such a big bun went. Could it be that her stomach has turned into another dimension?

Soon the seven o'clock bell rang on time. Xu Jiawei packed her things and prepared to go explore. As for the red earthworm, it stayed to guard the base. Rainbow also left a few of her underlings behind. After all, what happened yesterday had given Xu Jiawei a warning, and it was better to leave more people to guard the base.

Xiao Fen was next to Xu Jiawei, while Caihong had already placed Xu Jiawei on her head and started running eastward. It took them about an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

Xu Jiawei heard the sound of ping-pong balls as soon as she got close.

"Could it be other players? Has someone already arrived?" Xu Jiawei climbed to the top of the mountain with some doubt.

Why would she go up the mountain to collect resources? She must be crazy to do it at the foot of the mountain. What if a landslide buries her? Besides, having a backpack means she doesn't have to worry about transportation when she goes up the mountain to collect resources.

When Xu Jiawei reached the top of the mountain, she saw that there were already more than a dozen people mining there, holding torches in one hand and banging picks in the other.

"New here? Also here to mine stones? You can go over there," a player said, holding a torch and pointing in a direction.

Xu Jiawei nodded, took out her pickaxe, and started clanging away.

After all, the upgrade conditions for the first two levels of shelter are very simple, and players have basically completed them. It is normal for them to collect stones to upgrade to level three now.

The mountain is covered in signs of mining, and it's not high; in fact, it's quite short, as if it had been cut off.

I guess someone started harvesting yesterday. It's all just Xu Jiawei's guess, because the guard mushroom was in a hurry to go back and didn't notice if anyone was around.

Xu Jiawei is very strong and digs very quickly; in just a short time, she had already dug out a large pit.

As time went by, more and more people gathered, with over 100 people on the mountaintop alone, and the air was filled with the sounds of clanging and tinkling.

After about an hour, Xu Jiawei had collected all the stones, and even a few more. Now that she had enough, she prepared to go down the mountain.

Go back and upgrade first, then explore eastward.

Before leaving, Xu Jiawei glanced back. "Strange, is it just my imagination? Why does the mountain seem shorter?"

An hour later, back in her shelter, Xu Jiawei chose to upgrade.

Then, Xu Jiawei's vision blurred, and her little wooden house turned into a stone house. All the gaps were blocked up. The house had no windows, only a door. As soon as the door was closed, the house immediately became dark, with only a little light showing through the crack in the door.

[Ding! A level 4 shelter requires 500 lime, 500 plaster, 10 glass, 30 iron nails, and 2 horizontal sliding doors.]

They wanted quite a few things, all of which Xu Jiawei didn't have. Although the horizontal sliding door looked like some kind of precious resource that was hard to obtain, it could greatly reduce the gaps in the door, which was indeed very useful.

Since she couldn't gather all the materials for the time being, she decided to use the temporary shelter upgrade voucher directly, since she didn't know how long it would take to collect all the materials.

Soon, Xu Jiawei's vision blurred again, and the house had completely changed, transforming from a primitive dwelling into a house in a rural area of ​​Earth with a modern style.

[Ding! Congratulations! Your temporary shelter has been upgraded to level four, unlocking the shelter relocation function. You can now relocate your shelter to any location. This feature can be used once per day. (How about that? The system went to great lengths to help you find clues. Mom doesn't have to worry about me not making it back to the shelter anymore!)]

"This feature is great, system, you're amazing." Now Xu Jiawei can go out and look for clues without worrying about going too far and not being able to come back.

While others leave their hometowns, Xu Jiawei leaves her home with her house on her back. Every morning, she takes her house with her when she leaves, and before nightfall, she settles the house in its current location.

Now the red earthworms don't need to guard the house anymore.

Xu Jiawei walked straight out of the house and selected the house migration function. The house quickly shrank and entered her backpack, taking up one of the backpack slots.

Really, having left her home and hometown, Xu Jiawei suddenly thought of snails and hermit crabs. Now she really was like a snail and a hermit crab.

Xu Jiawei looked back one last time at her hometown, where she had only stayed for two days. "Goodbye, I'm going on a long voyage."

Actually, there was no reluctance at all, because at this moment the land looked like it had been gnawed by dogs. Not only were there jagged tree stumps left by Xu Jiawei cutting down trees, but the surrounding ground was also very messy due to the fighting of red earthworms.

"Thank you for making these two unforgettable days possible. Goodbye then~"

She seemed to be saying goodbye to her hometown. After all, life in a survival game is already so tough, and people need to be a little humorous to survive.

Xu Jiawei climbed onto the rainbow's back, turned around without a second thought, and left without taking a single cloud with her. All that remained was a mess.

Back at the mountain, Xu Jiawei fell silent. "This isn't right. Where's the mountain? And what's that huge crater in front of us?"

How come the mountain has turned into a basin?

Xu Jiawei peered into the pit, which was extremely deep and bottomless. The faint sound of ping-pong balls coming from the bottom of the pit could be heard, and many players had jumped into the pit after arriving.

"There are rocks underground, hurry up and dig them up, or they'll be gone!" Seeing Xu Jiawei in a daze, the player next to her who was about to jump down couldn't help but remind her.

Xu Jiawei: You're a really nice person.

Players have turned mountains into basins, and Xu Jiawei deserves some credit for that; that's the destructive power of these players.

Xu Jiawei bypassed the large pit and continued on her way, releasing the mushroom guards as she searched for treasure chests.

Since the system says the clues are in the east, let's head east first, opening treasure chests along the way to see if we can get any other clues.

As for the wooden treasure chest, Rainbow's underlings brought it back directly, while Xu Jiawei, who was of higher rank, went to retrieve it herself. This greatly improved Xu Jiawei's travel efficiency.

But man proposes, God disposes. There wasn't a single treasure chest around. Xu Jiawei walked for half a day and found nothing. After a moment of contemplation, she immediately understood why. The problem lay in that mountain—no, it should be called a trap now.

These players came from all directions, and given their destructive behavior, how could the treasure chests they encountered along the way possibly still be there?

Xu Jiawei sighed. Since all the treasure chests nearby had been looted, she decided to speed up her journey. So, Xu Jiawei asked Rainbow to summon her underlings back and wait a few hours before looting the treasure chests again. By then, they would be far from the mountain, and the treasure chests would probably not have been completely looted.
