Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

After traveling for about two hours, Xu Jiawei decided to collect the treasure chests.

At Rainbow's speed, two hours of travel would have taken them very far from the mountain; Rainbow's speed is twice that of Xu Jiawei.

In other words, it's equivalent to Xu Jiawei traveling for four hours, while for ordinary players, it's equivalent to a 12-hour travel time.

Normal players only have a speed attribute of 60 or 70, while stronger players, such as those ranked above level 10, only have around 80.

Si Yunming's stats are only around 120, but once his race level improves again, there will be a significant increase.

Unlike Si Yunming, Xu Jiawei's racial attributes didn't increase much. Si Yunming said that after he awakened his race, all his attributes increased by 40 points.

In Xu Jiawei's own memory, her first awakening did not increase much.

After returning to the past, he met the Mushroom God, who was still a god. He soaked in the hot spring that looked like gasoline for a while and gained another boost.

Her current high attributes are all thanks to the attribute-boosting mushrooms she consumes.

She patted the rainbow to stop it, so she could go find the treasure chest. It seemed there were no signs of player activity nearby, so the treasure chest should still be there.

Xu Jiawei jumped off Rainbow's back and then led Rainbow and Little Pink on a search for treasure chests, hoping to find more clues by opening them.

She walked eastward, searching for treasure chests as she went. After half an hour, it seemed that there were fewer signs of player activity around her. Could it be that there were fewer players to the east and more players to the west?

Why? Does the system consciously control where players land?

I can't figure it out right now, so I'll just focus on finding the treasure chest.

After searching for a while, she encountered a treasure chest almost every hour when walking in a straight line. Xu Jiawei thought to herself that there were indeed very few traces of player activity here, and no one had picked up the treasure chests.

If Xu Jiawei is in this state, then the guard mushrooms must be even more desperate; they've already found several boxes.

There's a reason why the Guard Mushrooms were able to find the treasure chest so quickly, even without torches; although they have eyes, they're useless in such a thick fog.

Rainbow said they mainly rely on special senses and intuition, which is why they can find boxes in bird nests.

Their intuition told them to go this way, and that's how they found the box.

The further east she went, the more boxes she encountered, and Xu Jiawei's pace slowed down slightly, but she hadn't yet encountered any high-quality boxes.

Xu Jiawei felt that it was because the Guardian Mushroom's search area was very small, and it dared not stray too far from Xu Jiawei.

After all, they were on a journey. What if the mushrooms ran too far and couldn't come back? Their search area was also mainly to the east, and they were just traveling alongside Xu Jiawei.

"Master, we found it! There's a silver treasure chest, but it's quite far away." Rainbow seemed a little troubled; the mushroom hadn't noticed that it had wandered a bit too far.

If it's a silver treasure chest, then no matter how far away it is, she has to go get it. After all, it's a silver treasure chest, and it used to be a reward from the leaderboard. Now that the leaderboard function is closed, Xu Jiawei is penniless again, and she only has enough food for that day, with no extra at all.

I miss the days when I could freeload meals.

I wonder how Si Yunming is doing. With his luck, he probably didn't starve to death. At least he's a dark elementalist and won't be parasitized by insects. Otherwise, with his luck, it would be a long time before he could even make a torch.

Hmm, this seems to be her state when she first arrived in the survival world.

She is no longer the same person she once was; she is now the Mushroom Immortal of Niohuru, and the unlucky girl from before has disappeared.

It is impossible for a person to empathize with their past self.

Xu Jiawei climbed onto the rainbow's back and was carried along by it.

With a roar, the monster was burned to ashes by the white flames, and Xu Jiawei ended the battle.

After putting the box into her backpack, Xu Jiawei glanced at the time and continued eastward.

When it was 6:30, Xu Jiawei stopped and told the mushrooms to just look for boxes nearby and not to go too far.

Looking at this large open space, there is a crack about ten meters wide just ahead.

The mushrooms couldn't make it across, so Xu Jiawei had to take them. But they were far away and couldn't get together in a short time, so they would have to continue their journey tomorrow.

Xu Jiawei placed the house near the crack, and the house immediately became larger. Xu Jiawei placed the house some distance away from the crack, because if the crack collapsed, she would fall in.

He returned to his room and closed the door, but without the protective shield, the house's drawbacks became apparent.

Looking at the white mist squeezing in through the gap in the sliding door, Xu Jiawei wanted to use tape to block it up, but unfortunately, she didn't have any tape.

The upgraded windows are sliding windows, but they seem to be very well sealed and don't let in any air.

However, sliding doors are obviously not suitable because windows are suspended in the air, while doors are not. Even if a threshold is added to block the bottom, there will still be gaps on the sides. After all, no door can be completely sealed; the gaps can only be reduced. This gives sliding doors an advantage over windows.

At the very least, these bugs forced their way in, they weren't let in.

Even though there are no gaps, they still managed to squeeze in.

This won't do. It seems we'll have to light torches tonight, or have Little Pink stay outside.

But it's like this even before nightfall, what will it be like at night? Xu Jiawei felt a headache just thinking about it.

Soon, all the mushrooms outside returned, bringing with them quite a few boxes. Around six o'clock, the mushrooms slowly moved towards Xu Jiawei's direction. Xu Jiawei wasn't surprised that they were back before seven o'clock. After all the mushrooms had returned, Xu Jiawei locked the door.

White mist was still billowing out.

Xu Jiawei could only place the torch near the crack in the door, and finally the white mist stopped coming out.

After Xu Jiawei placed the torch, it instantly became dark, and nothing could be seen through the window anymore.

When Xu Jiawei learned that these black things were tiny insects, her scalp tingled with fear, because these insects were only a pane of glass thick away from her.

The torches placed in the crack of the door seemed to be less effective, as a white, misty substance squeezed in. The situation seemed even worse than before, when no torches were lit. These insects kept pushing their way in, causing the door to shake slightly, as if trying to force it open.

But Xu Jiawei had already locked it, so they naturally couldn't squeeze through.

Seeing this, Xiao Fen took matters into her own hands. The insects that came into contact with Xiao Fen were burned into wisps of smoke, seemingly accompanied by the smell of burning protein.

These white mists seemed fearless, advancing wave after wave.

After picking up the torch, Xu Jiawei reached out and touched the areas where the little pink insects couldn't be burned. The insects were instantly charred upon contact with the torch.

Xu Jiawei made the rainbow bigger and held a torch to guard the gate. She couldn't guard the gate like this every night. Now she had no more energy potions and needed to rest.

Rainbow and Little Pink, though not animals, also need rest.

We can only see if there's anything usable inside the box.

Today's harvest was pretty good: 15 wooden treasure chests, 3 iron treasure chests, and 1 silver treasure chest.

There are fewer people here, so there are more boxes.
