Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei immediately realized that this thing could not be kept.

So I released Little Pink. "Little Pink, it's all yours now." This time Little Pink can fly. Sure enough, the system was the culprit that it couldn't fly before.

Little Pink nodded. These insect eggs also had experience, and it could level up, although the experience was very small.

The flames climbed up the rock wall and burned along the direction of the white mist, growing stronger with each passing moment. Xu Jiawei followed, and they burned all the way to the cave entrance. Because there were no insects in the cave at night, the speed was much faster. If it weren't for the need to wait for Xiaofen to burn the insect eggs, Xu Jiawei would have come out even faster.

Once the fire reached the cave entrance, Little Pink let out a satisfied burp, then went back to its pet space to sleep.

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, there were no insects outside, or rather, there were very few insects in the entire canyon. Only then did Xu Jiawei see what the world looked like at night.

The white mist was still there, but it fell to the ground and disappeared completely after it hit the ground.

In other words, the white mist that appears during the day is actually the insects in their old age, so they are not very dangerous. So why are they looking back and crawling into the ears and eyes of living beings? Something is still not right.

She speculated that perhaps these insects would enter the organism's body and control it, using it as a means to lay eggs.

Xu Jiawei pondered, still somewhat unsure. Perhaps insects, whether dead or alive, would affect living organisms, and their actions were controlled by humans.

In other words, the eggs in this cave were artificially bred by them.

That would make things difficult, as there would definitely be more than one training center.

Xu Jiawei thought to herself, "Solving natural disasters is indeed not that simple. I should leave first."

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for destroying a branch of the Dark Temple and resolving a Cataclysm source. You have received a Diamond Chest and a message about the Cataclysm source, which will now be broadcast throughout the region.]

[Ding! The player is the first to resolve the source of the natural disaster and has received a Diamond Chest*1]

Wow, not bad! Getting two diamond chests at once, this is even better!

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy for resolving a natural disaster source. Congratulations!]

Upon hearing the system announcement, Bai Yu looked up in surprise, then turned to the two elderly people behind her: "Mom and Dad, this is my friend. I didn't expect her to have solved a natural disaster so quickly. She's amazing."

"Xiaoyu, you must get along well with them."

The same scene unfolded on the other side: "Mom and Dad, brother and sister, did you hear that? This is my sister. My sister is amazing."

Li Ting rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Fine, it's not like you're the one who's better."

"Second sister, are you jealous? Jealous that I have such a capable older sister?" Li Ming said smugly.

Li Ting pointed to her nose: "Jealous of you? Looks like you're asking for it again. I'll teach you a lesson today!"

"Alright, stop arguing, you can't sleep either," the eldest brother said, sitting up from the floor.

Unexpectedly, the system teleported all my relatives together, and surprisingly, they were all quite nice people.

Zhang Yunting also heard the system notification, smiled slightly, and continued feeding his mother, whose condition was getting worse.

Meanwhile, Si Yunming looked thoughtfully at the cave before him. This was the source of the natural disaster? He hadn't expected her to beat him to it. Si Yunming seemed to have realized something and smiled.

Without hesitation, he entered the cave. Only Si Yunming would dare to explore it so late at night.

While some are happy, others are sad. At this moment, Lin Wenshi frowned. He had discovered a wormhole during the day, but out of caution, he did not enter it, intending to wait until he was fully prepared. Unexpectedly, his sister beat him to it.

No, he has to go in tomorrow, or things will get complicated.

Lin Huajing frowned, looked at Lin Jiaqi's gritted teeth, and sneered.

Normally, the Lin family should have landed at the same place as Xu Jiawei, but perhaps the system thought that Lin Jiaqi and they were family, so it put them together.

Xu Jiawei was alone outside.

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player... for successfully resolving a natural disaster source. Congratulations!]

After hearing the system announcement, Lin Wenshi's ominous premonition grew stronger.

"Great, Three O'Clock Bro." Xu Jiawei smiled after hearing the system announcement as she climbed out of the canyon.

After Xu Jiawei resolved the source of the natural disaster, the fog in the area thinned considerably, and the day and night in this region became less distinct, although the nighttime light was somewhat dimmer.

With the help of the light, Xu Jiawei could see that the insects seemed to be asleep, clinging tightly to the objects, turning the whole world gray and black. Whether it was trees, land, or anything else in the world, everything was gray and black, as if she had entered a black and white world.

Xu Jiawei glanced at the insects cautiously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they were no longer moving.

It seems that destroying the temple can kill the bugs.

Thinking this, Xu Jiawei had a sudden inspiration: why not take this opportunity to collect the treasure chests? Since these insects are not moving, then wouldn't the animals controlled by the insects also stop moving?

Furthermore, while players are still resting, quickly loot all the treasure chests in this fog-free area. Once players arrive in the fog-free area, these places will be looted by other players.

Xu Jiawei released the rainbow, and the mushroom guards scattered to search for the treasure chest.

As Xu Jiawei expected, the guardian beasts stopped moving. Xu Jiawei told Rainbow and the others to speed up. This fog-free area wasn't very big; at Xu Jiawei's pace, it would take about four hours to walk from one side to the other.

The mushrooms searched like locusts, trying not to miss a single treasure chest. Occasionally, there were a few guardian beasts that could move, but they were no match for the mushrooms and were knocked down with a single punch.

The fog in the air is decreasing and gradually dying out.

By daybreak, Xu Jiawei had completed most of the search.

At 7 o'clock sharp, a player, having taken precautions, pushed open the door and was stunned by what he saw.

He didn't know when, but the outside had turned blackish-gray, and even the exterior walls of his house had turned blackish-gray. Everything had changed drastically, and the fog that had been swirling around had disappeared.

A colorful mushroom carrying a treasure chest swaggered past his house, glancing at him once.

The man came to his senses; if it weren't for the mushroom, he would have thought he had lost his color.

Wait, a mushroom? Is he hallucinating? When did mushrooms start walking? And carrying treasure chests?

"Oh no, I'm hallucinating! I've been infected!"

The mushroom had no idea why this person had collapsed to the ground again; it was none of its business anyway.

the other side.

"Mushroom's got a treasure chest, boss, let's snatch it!" A burly man had just shown his menacing side when he was stunned by a slap from the woman in charge.

"Are you stupid? Mushroom dares to show up so openly, don't you know whose talent is Mushroom? I'm afraid that before we can snatch it, that guy will be here." The woman said with a serious expression.

The man was stunned for a moment, then swallowed hard, asking incredulously, "Could it be that mushroom from yesterday's radio broadcast?"

The man patted his chest with a hint of lingering fear. Luckily, he hadn't acted impulsively. After all, that was a ruthless person who could single-handedly resolve the source of a natural disaster in the middle of the night.

"At least you have some brains."
