Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei had no intention of telling the domineering CEO the truth. Given his arrogant demeanor, who knew how cocky he would become if she told him?

Xu Jiawei pretended not to hear the question about the domineering CEO.

"Woman, how dare you ignore me? Fine, you look busy right now, I'll leave first." After saying that, the domineering CEO teleported back to the ship.

Unexpectedly, it was able to go back on its own. Xu Jiawei had thought that it would follow her forever after being summoned, but since it could go back directly, Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up and she instantly had an idea.

Perhaps she could ask the CEO to move some of the things she needs right now, of course, just protective suits and herbs, etc. As for anything else, Xu Jiawei was afraid that she would go too far and anger the system, so she directly banned it.

Xu Jiawei was in a great mood, and even her movements became much lighter. However, she didn't know how long her opponent could maintain this state. She was powerless to fight back and could only dodge awkwardly.

Fortunately, the attribute added this time was speed, which is quite lucky; otherwise, even ten uses of Golden Body wouldn't be enough for her.

"Hmph, the little bug is quick to hide!" The old man's voice was very calm, as if he had victory in his grasp.

But he was far less calm than he appeared, because his time was about to end.

He's level 49, and he even holds a priest position in the temple, albeit a low-ranking one. But this bug in front of him seems to be only level 20, yet it's managing to fight him to a standstill.

Although he managed to suppress the person in front of him with the help of divine power, this ability was obtained by burning his life force and could not last long. Soon all his organs would fail, and then he would be powerless to save him.

Xu Jiawei heard what the old man said. He seemed to be handling things with ease, but Xu Jiawei had a strange feeling in her heart. She inexplicably felt that his voice was a little weak.

She had complete faith in her judgment. Perhaps this guy was just bluffing and had already exhausted his strength. If she could just hold on a little longer, she would be the one to win.

This kind of thing can't be rushed. Even if we fight for several more hours, we can't rush it. If we rush, we'll make mistakes. We still need to proceed steadily. If the bug comes back, she can just stay in this gate for another day.

This door looks very sturdy.

She dealt with the old man even more carefully, making sure he couldn't find any fault with her.

Xu Jiawei remained calm, but the old man grew increasingly anxious, his attacks becoming more and more erratic. Finally, realizing that Xu Jiawei hadn't been hit yet, he decided to take her down with him, shouting like a madman, "Die!"

After speaking, a terrifying crack appeared on the old man's face, and then his eyes stared intently at Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei's expression froze, and her movements stiffened for a moment.

This is a mental attack skill! By the time Xu Jiawei reacted, the towering black flames had already rushed over; it was too late.

Xu Jiawei could only quickly release a cocoon of light to envelop herself, but she was still burned. Without even looking, she knew that her current state was terrifying. Her face was burning with pain, one eye could no longer see anything, and her arms, legs, and even her body were covered in blood, with the white bones clearly visible.

She has lost all feeling in one of her arms.

Rainbow replaced the damaged parts of Xu Jiawei's clothes through the pet backpack, so now she was essentially carrying a doctor with her at all times.

Surprisingly, she didn't get to use her golden body a second time, meaning that although Xu Jiawei's injuries looked terrible, they weren't fundamentally damaged.

When Rainbow removed her eyeball, Xu Jiawei closed her other eye, too afraid to look. It was her eyeball! She was afraid she would be terrified if she looked in the mirror now.

After being encased in another layer of light cocoon, the light cocoon is now dissolving at an extremely fast rate. Her mana is simply not enough. She herself can use her golden body to withstand the damage, but the pet backpacks containing Rainbow Three cannot withstand it and will easily burn out.

Perhaps, all three of them will be destroyed as well.

Finally, Xu Jiawei gritted her teeth, took out a mana potion and poured it into her mouth. After she had finished all the potions, the final kill was finally over.

The life-saving weapon I had just prepared was finished in just two days.

When Xu Jiawei removed the light shield, she found that the place was in ruins. Xu Jiawei's clothes were also tattered, mainly her outer cloak and inner skirt. Epic equipment is not so easy to destroy, but it also had some holes.

Although this clothing can no longer protect the human body, it is still strong enough.

Even if Xu Jiawei's body were completely rotten, her clothes wouldn't necessarily be torn. But now her clothes are damaged in various ways, and the reward for the custom-made equipment is still nowhere in sight. This trip has been a huge loss.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for defeating the Dark Temple Priest. You have gained 300000 experience points. (Wow, I didn't expect you to kill the priest all by yourself.)]

[Congratulations to the player for defeating a human 25 levels above their own and obtaining the title "Dragon Overlord," with a 50% increase in strength. (Which overlord protagonist can't kill someone 25 levels above their own? You're truly the chosen one!)]

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. Exchanging the damage to her equipment for 50 points of strength, Xu Jiawei thought it wasn't a bad deal. Even if it was damaged, the attribute loss wouldn't be that much, so this was not a loss.

After thinking about it for a while, he summoned the CEO again.

"Woman, what's wrong with you again?" The domineering CEO stared at Xu Jiawei with a look of impatience, holding a medicine bottle in his hand.

It seemed she had disturbed the CEO's alchemy. Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "CEO, could you please bring me a few sets of protective clothing and some herbs for basic potions?" Xu Jiawei's tone was very gentle, which pleased the CEO.

"Woman, since you're the one who asked me, I'll help you out." With that, the domineering CEO went straight back. Xu Jiawei waited for fifteen minutes and then summoned him back.

The CEO was carrying a protective suit in one hand and a large bag of herbs in the other, which was packed in a burlap sack. The protective suit was made by Mushroom, whom Xu Jiawei had asked to work, and the CEO simply brought a bundle of it.

"Is this enough, woman?" the domineering CEO asked.

Xu Jiawei stared in disbelief: "Enough, enough, CEO, you're too amazing." As she spoke, Xu Jiawei quickly put the items into her temporary backpack, afraid that the system would find out and confiscate them.

The boss simply tossed down a cauldron meant for the mushrooms and left. Xu Jiawei was almost in tears. Although the boss seemed domineering, it was actually quite thoughtful.

Xu Jiawei glanced at the time; it was already past midnight. She had to leave quickly, or she wouldn't be able to escape when the bugs returned.

As Xu Jiawei entered the passageway, she frowned. She didn't know when, but the stone wall was covered with some mist-like things that looked like insects, but were not quite the same. These mist-like things seemed to be very obedient, just sticking to the stone wall.

Xu Jiawei observed it carefully for a while. The thing really didn't move. Xu Jiawei suspected that it was insect eggs. These insect eggs made the entire stone wall look shrouded in mist and had a very ethereal feel. If you didn't know better, you would think it was the cave of an immortal.
