Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Rainbow's improvement wasn't significant; it only raised her level a bit, and Xu Jiawei assumed it was just a problem with the hot spring pool.

Unexpectedly, Rainbow had the script of accumulating and then bursting forth. This grand evolution lasted until the afternoon. Xu Jiawei did not dare to leave because there were many monsters nearby. If she left rashly, Rainbow would be in danger during its evolution.

Xu Jiawei waited quietly, and had lunch while she waited. The rainbow-colored light gradually faded, and the rainbow's face appeared.

At this moment, the small mushroom on its head grew larger, like two mushrooms stacked together, and the mushroom on its head grew something like small wings, with a halo, echoing the small horns growing below. Its body had some more spikes, making it look very fierce.

Although he's not as cute as before, he looks quite handsome now, being very fierce.

Looking down, fingers grew from its originally round hands. Rainbow tried to grasp her own palm and could easily make grasping motions, even some very delicate gestures, which looked more flexible than Xu Jiawei's fingers.

Xu Jiawei touched Rainbow; its skin was very tough, indicating its defenses had improved significantly. "Rainbow, how are you feeling?"

"Master, I'm fine. I feel like I've become much stronger," the mushroom-headed figure below spoke.

"Me too, me too." The mushroom head on the rainbow also spoke up. Xu Jiawei was very surprised. She didn't expect there to be two consciousnesses.

"Rainbow, what... have you split?" Xu Jiawei felt like she was about to split apart. Rainbow had evolved and split into two consciousnesses. Was this still Rainbow?

"Yes, Master, I'm the eldest, and the one above me is the second eldest," said the one below.

"Nonsense, I'm the boss, you're number two!" The mouth above retorted, not to be outdone. Rainbow was arguing with itself; would it start fighting with itself later?

Taking advantage of the argument, Xu Jiawei finally had a chance to check Rainbow's panel.

(Comment: The skill is indeed support, no, it's more like a tank support, what a weirdo!)

Her health was almost at 10000. Not only was Xu Jiawei the envy of everyone, but her skills Life Extraction and Transplantation were also greatly improved, and she gained two new skills. Judging from these skills, she is a tank support who can both withstand damage and heal. Her attributes have also basically doubled.

Looking at her stats, which were almost in the five-digit range, Xu Jiawei felt a surge of confidence. She felt like she could now take on three priests. Of course, that was just an exaggeration; she still couldn't beat them. She'd better wait until Red Earthworm and Little Pink reached level 30 before making a move.

Thinking this, Xu Jiawei patted Rainbow's head and said, "Rainbow, let's go to the next place."

"Master, my name is Rainbow One, and the one above me is Rainbow Two," said the mushroom-headed guy below.

"Nonsense, my name is Rainbow One. You're Rainbow Two," the mushroom-headed man retorted.

Xu Jiawei touched the mushroom on her head, wondering if it might also split into a consciousness. The mushroom rubbed against Xu Jiawei's palm, as if to comfort her.

"Alright, whoever appears first is number 1, and the rest will be number 2 and so on," Xu Jiawei said. Rainbow immediately accepted, so the Rainbow below became Rainbow Number 1, and the one above was called Rainbow Number 2, but she still referred to them all as Rainbow.

The evolved rainbow is even more powerful. Not only has its intuition become stronger, but even its guards have become stronger, as if they have also evolved. Now they can hunt even stronger monsters.

Xu Jiawei can now sit back and collect experience points. This summoning guard skill is a powerful way to gain experience by killing monsters, so Rainbow's level is much higher than Red Earthworm and Little Pink.

Of course, Xu Jiawei also gains experience from their hunting, but compared to Rainbow, Xu Jiawei needs much more experience, so she is only level 26 now, even lower than Little Pink and Red Earthworm.

It seems that humans have an exceptionally difficult time in terms of upgrading, as if the world is targeting them.

Fortunately, she didn't need to use a breakthrough potion to break through the level cap when she reached level 20, but that might not be the case in the future.

Perhaps the reason why humans need more experience to level up is because they don't need potions to break through; we'll only know in the future.

Thinking about it now would only cause her more trouble.

The key issue is that being human with low stats and slow leveling up means you're constantly being hit with all sorts of debuffs.

Xu Jiawei sat atop the rainbow head, and only now did she truly understand what it meant to feel like she was flying. Her speed had nearly doubled; this was real speed!

Xu Jiawei felt the scenery rushing by, as if her body was floating in front of her while her soul was flying behind.

Even passing monsters were stomped to death by it. Rainbow would deliberately stomp on the monsters, stomping on them a few more times if one stomp wasn't enough, and if that still wasn't enough, Xu Jiawei would kill them herself.

All the way, Xu Jiawei's experience bar kept rising, and her face was beaming with joy. Is this what it feels like to be carried to victory?

Luckily, there were no other players nearby, otherwise people might have thought there had been an earthquake.

After teaming up with the red earthworm to kill the monster again, her experience bar had reached halfway to level 26, while the red earthworm had reached level 29 and was about to reach level 30. Little Pink had a slightly lower experience level than the red earthworm, but she was also close to level 30.

They would reach the level cap before Xu Jiawei and then get stuck at a certain level. Xu Jiawei had already anticipated this, so she worked even harder to fight monsters and level up.

She didn't stop even at night, and three days later, Xu Jiawei reached level 28 a day earlier than expected, obtaining two pet breakthrough potions. At level 27, Xu Jiawei had already obtained one potion, but she didn't give it to anyone, planning to wait until level 28 so that Little Pink and Red Earthworm could advance together, which was fair.

The two pets poured the potion into their mouths. Xu Jiawei looked on with anticipation, wondering if they would evolve. However, unlike Rainbow, they did not evolve; they simply broke through the level cap.

There have been changes, to say the least.
