Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei was fighting the rabbit at the moment and naturally had no idea what Lin Huajing was thinking. After killing the rabbit, she glanced at the direction of the cave again.

I have a feeling that the atmosphere over there has changed; there's a sense of danger.

Xu Jiawei kept thinking to herself as she worked. There was a litter of rabbits here, including a male rabbit, a female rabbit, and a litter of baby rabbits that looked to be quite young.

Xu Jiawei felt quite sorry for her child who had turned out like this just a few days after birth, but it had nothing to do with her.

After all, she wasn't the one who turned the rabbits into this. Instead of killing the person who turned their whole family into this, these rabbits harbored malice towards her.

However, this rabbit was not rational after all; she was just making a sarcastic remark.

The ground was littered with rabbit carcasses, a truly gruesome sight. After Xu Jiawei finished off the rabbits, her level reached 25.

[Ding! Experience points full. Player has reached level 25 and received 1 free attribute point. The player who is the first in the entire server to reach level 25 will receive in-game rewards. There are three options: 1. 1 potion of your choice; 2. 1 piece of gold equipment; 3. 3 attribute points...]

Seeing that the reward was the same as last time, Xu Jiawei chose to select the potion again and obtained another pet breakthrough potion, which she then fed to Xiaofen.

(Review: This is a good fit for a pharmacist. Yes, you heard right, it's a good fit for you.)

Little Pink advanced her first two skills and then gained a new one.

Looking at the last skill, she thought that perhaps the domain was more like a barrier, except that it was a barrier for enemies, trapping them inside.

Although the skill description looks very powerful, Xu Jiawei's experience suggests that this barrier definitely has a limit.

The little pink cat has changed from light pink to dark pink, and its lighting range has expanded. It can even exceed the range of the insect-repelling energy shield without needing the shield itself.

Xu Jiawei made a decision: even if she couldn't reach level 30 herself, as long as Rainbow reached level 40 and Little Pink and Red Earthworm reached level 30, she would go explore the source of the natural disaster.

After all, she needs to reach level 30, and who knows how many days that will take? Delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances.

After all, each upgrade of a pet's attributes is a significant boost. Rainbow's attributes are already over 500, and another upgrade would bring even greater improvement. It could even put up a fight against level 50 or 60 humans.

Few people on this continent keep pets. Although pets are very strong and can assist in battle, there was no way to advance them before, since the recipe for pet advancement potions had been lost.

Pets can only reach level 20 at most, and their attributes cannot be upgraded at the same time as the player's. At first, pets are enough for beginners, but once the player reaches level 30, pets become useless and can only hold them back.

Nowadays, most pets are kept by wealthy ladies as pets, or like apothecaries, they contract a fire spirit to assist in making potions.

However, Xu Jiawei believes that with advancement methods available, professions like Beast Tamers will emerge, and people will be more willing to contract a pet beast to increase their combat power.

Each time she breaks through the level cap, it's a big boost, so she wants to level up 3 more times. Xu Jiawei set a goal to level up 3 times in 5 days.

This necessitates going to a place with even denser fog.

Xu Jiawei has killed many monsters in this place, and their numbers have decreased. Staying here any longer will slow down your leveling speed.

Perhaps she could skip this place and continue eastward to find higher-level monsters to kill and level up.

In this case, the dangers become even greater. Risk comes with reward; this doesn't mean going to your death, but rather taking appropriate risks.

If she wanted to die, she would have already gone into the wormhole. The fact that she hasn't gone proves that she wants to live.

After figuring things out, Xu Jiawei continued eastward with her family and three pet animals.

With Little Pink by her side, finding her way became much easier. After bypassing the wormhole, she could clearly feel that the fog was getting thicker and there were more monsters the further east she went.

The group killed off a large number of experience points along the way, and Xu Jiawei was very satisfied.

She's almost level 26 again, but now it takes so much experience to level up.

If it weren't for the mythical ring, it's hard to say whether Xu Jiawei could even reach level 20 now. No wonder the Goddess of Light, although the head of all gods, is the youngest god; it must be because of the ring.

I wonder when she'll reach level 90; it seems so far away.

It might take a hundred years, but it seems this world can't wait any longer. The fact that the system has placed them here explains why—it wants them to level up.

If the evil god really escapes from the seal and is resurrected, what will happen to these players? They can only wait to die.

Xu Jiawei absolutely refused to allow herself to fall into such a passive situation.

Upon arriving at the new area, Rainbow, as usual, first sent out Mushrooms to explore. If they could defeat them, they would; if not, Xu Jiawei would personally take over. With the cooperation of Red Earthworms, things went very smoothly. Even in this area where level 50s were everywhere, Xu Jiawei was capable of putting up a fight.

With the addition of an insect-repellent energy shield, Xu Jiawei can even go out for a walk at night.

While the mushrooms are still searching for the treasure chest, she needs to brew some energy potions and stamina potions, and of course, she can't forget about mana potions.

It is guarded by red earthworms and rainbows to prevent monsters from sneaking up on it.

With energy and stamina potions, Xu Jiawei had the resources to fight through the night. As for the insect-repellent energy shield, it was the foundation for her to stand firm in the darkness.

This was the first time Xu Jiawei had ever gone out late at night on her own initiative, and she was a little nervous.

She checked herself over again. The protective suit had no holes, and the mask filter was intact. Just in case, Xu Jiawei put on another layer of protective clothing. She hadn't forgotten that insects are corrosive.

Although the protective suit also has anti-corrosion properties, Xu Jiawei dared not take the risk.

Soon, under Xu Jiawei's gaze, a blanket of blackness fell upon the trees and the ground, turning everything in the world black.

Even the insect-proof cover was no exception; apart from the area covered by the insect-proof cover, Xu Jiawei could not see anything.

This was the first time Xu Jiawei had ever seen the scene of nightfall, and she was deeply impressed.

The monsters that were usually active during the day were now quiet, and the surroundings were completely silent, with only the oppressive darkness.

Now that there's no sound, finding the monster has become a problem. Xu Jiawei can only ask Rainbow to take her to find the few boxes that the guard mushrooms didn't have time to take during the day.

Because Rainbow also had to stay within the insect-proof enclosure, Hsu Chia-wei had no choice but to follow Rainbow.

The road conditions were even more difficult at night, so they slowed down considerably, turning what should have been an hour's journey into two hours.

"Master, we've arrived." Rainbow stopped skipping along.
