Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Not to mention, his talent level directly reached S-rank, increasing his attributes by 100 points.

This racial advancement didn't bring any other benefits; it only upgraded my talent.

Perhaps her talent level was too low, so she used her chance to upgrade her race on talent modification, but whatever it was, no player could match her current attributes.

Oh no, she wants to venture into the source of the natural disaster. What should she do if her dreams have become too big for her britches?

Xu Jiawei was prepared to take a chance. If she couldn't win, she would run away. She would just consider it a way to temper her arrogance. After all, her mentality had become too inflated, and she was no longer the same person she used to be.

However, she decided to find a mid-level natural disaster source point, just in case she really messed up. Thinking this, Xu Jiawei turned and left the location. The fog here was thicker than in the previous area, so she prepared to return to the area she had cleared earlier and go to the area next to it to find a natural disaster source point.

Xu Jiawei took Rainbow back to the location of the hole she had cleared. After a few days of fermentation, a thin mist reappeared in the area that had been cleared.

Judging from the fog, it seemed to have come from somewhere else. She looked around a few times, and finally chose the left side, so she walked to the left.

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

Brother San Dian worked so hard, which further strengthened Xu Jiawei's determination to continue heading to the source of the natural disaster.

She already had experience with this, and even without clues, she could find the source of the disaster faster than others. She had Rainbow scatter her underlings to specifically look for places with dense fog.

Less than two hours later, news came: "Master, the fog is getting thicker heading northeast, but it seems that many people are already heading that way." Rainbow reported the situation.

Xu Jiawei did not give up. Instead, she asked Rainbow to take her there, as it would be safer with more people. Sitting on Rainbow's head, Xu Jiawei quickly approached the location of the Cataclysm source. She encountered more than one player along the way, indicating that the location of the Cataclysm source had been made public, making it extremely difficult to seize it.

However, Xu Jiawei was very confident in herself. If she wasn't confident, would she want to find a natural disaster source point to grind? She wanted to know just how strong she was now.

The source of this natural disaster was in a lake. This was the first time she had ever seen such a situation. The players around her were whispering among themselves. One player walked up to Xu Jiawei, seemingly attracted by the rainbow under Xu Jiawei's buttocks.

Players who own pets are generally quite powerful, so Xu Jiawei wasn't surprised that players would try to curry favor with her.

"Hello, would you like to cooperate? More than half of the players here have already joined us. We will split the rewards equally, following the standard cooperation model for normal players."

Xu Jiawei asked with some doubt, "How will the rewards be divided equally? How can so many players share them?"

"That's right. Our rule here is that if we get something good, whoever wants it should buy it at the market price and then distribute the resources to other players."

This distribution method is good for both the poor and the rich, but right now the players here are all poor, and very few can afford it. They already have a solution for this.

They can sign a contract and pay upon returning home. If they die here, the contract states that the payment will be made from their estate. This is monitored by the system, which automatically allocates funds from the player's estate for the payment.

"I'm sorry, I'm more used to being alone." Xu Jiawei declined.

The young man wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Xu Jiawei and said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's be friends. I'll tell you some information about this calamity's source."

"I heard that the creatures inside this intermediate-level source point are very strong. No one who goes in has ever come out. And if you want to enter this calamity source point, you must drink insect repellent medicine beforehand, otherwise you will only be devoured by insects in the water."

Xu Jiawei sincerely thanked her, "Thank you, I understand."

"You're welcome. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in collaborating; we welcome you anytime." The young man then left.

After all, this player looks very strong. He can win someone's favor with a simple message, and it's good to build a good relationship.

Xu Jiawei also found a place to sit down. The players were waiting for nightfall. After thinking for a moment, Xu Jiawei decided not to let Rainbow's underlings come back and continued hunting and looking for treasure chests outside.

Most of the players present had gas masks, while a small number were still using torches.

Some people also have insect-repellent energy shields.

As long as you don't give up, there's always a way to overcome difficulties. Nowadays, many people have found ways to go out at night. Xu Jiawei overheard that some people wear several layers of clothing to cover themselves up before going out, while others use insect repellent to wash their clothes, which makes the insects run away. However, using insect repellent to wash clothes is too extravagant.

Some people wear insect repellent covers when they go out, some cover themselves with blankets when they go out, and some even make themselves a cover, but this cover doesn't last long and is quite useless.

Those without protective suits wrapped themselves in plastic sheets; there were all sorts of methods. After exchanging ideas, many players benefited greatly.

Time passed quickly, and night fell. Xu Jiawei drank the insect repellent medicine inside the insect repellent hood. Most of the players didn't bring diving equipment, only goggles, and jumped down directly. So Xu Jiawei followed suit and jumped down as well.

The players gathered in front of a huge stone gate underwater. There was a mechanism in front of the gate, and as the mechanism was activated, the gate slowly opened. The players desperately squeezed in, while Xu Jiawei quietly followed at the back. She swam in after everyone had gone in.

As soon as Xu Jiawei stepped through the stone gate, it felt as if she had entered another world. There seemed to be a protective shield outside the stone gate, keeping the water out. With the air around, Xu Jiawei quickly drank another bottle of deworming medicine.

Everyone else looked at Xu Jiawei with the eyes of someone looking at a spendthrift. She had so many supplies, drinking such a luxurious thing as deworming medicine like water. But after glancing at Xu Jiawei's appearance, they sighed and said, "Sigh, the girl is timid, it's understandable."

After all, Xu Jiawei's appearance is very deceptive. Her fighting ability is completely inconsistent with her appearance. She doesn't seem strong and is thin, but she can take on all of them by herself without any problem. That's right, she is that strong.

After the last player entered, the stone door behind them slammed shut before any of the players could react, causing considerable chaos.

Many players frantically pounded on the stone door, seemingly trying to reopen it, but the stone door remained unmoved.

Immediately, all the players had a bad feeling, as if this was a man-eating trap.

Xu Jiawei had never seen anything like this before. The knowledge here was beyond her imagination. It was possible that this was just a trap to lure players in and then kill them.

Now the player is trapped in the long corridor and can only keep moving forward.
