Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"I guess I was too arrogant. If I hadn't been trying to find the source of the natural disaster, I wouldn't have encountered this situation and lost my house," Xu Jiawei said, reflecting deeply on her experience.

"You're not being arrogant. If you were, you would have already challenged the high-level natural disaster source points. It's just that these evil god followers are too cunning," Si Yunming said, offering a long string of words of comfort.

He originally came to find the source of the natural disaster, and if it were him, he would have been defeated there too. Fortunately, he met Xu Jiawei and learned about this.

Xu Jiawei shook her head: "Maybe I should have left when I found out the door was underwater." Upon closer inspection, this source of natural disaster was quite different from what Xu Jiawei had seen.

But Xu Jiawei thought that since there were canyons, caves, and underground caves, a water cave wouldn't be a problem. However, it turned out that the water cave was a trap.

"If you want to fight your way back, I'll help you," Si Yunming said very seriously.

Xu Jiawei glanced at Si Yunming's level and was surprised to find that he was already level 28. She hadn't expected that with the help of the ring and the rainbow, his level was almost catching up with hers. It was easy to imagine how many monsters he had killed.

It was only today, when Xu Jiawei killed more than a dozen priests, that the gap widened.

"Let's wait until we level up and get stronger again. That high priest will be at least level 70. If we go there now, we'll just be easy prey," Xu Jiawei replied.

"By the way, Brother Three, these bugs seem to be afraid of you. They don't dare to come near you at all. What's going on?" Xu Jiawei was very curious and was quite surprised to see these bugs hiding ten meters away from them.

"It's probably related to my new skill. Do you want to come with me?" Si Yunming hesitated for a while before asking.

"Okay, I've already lost my house, so I'll stay with you." Xu Jiawei immediately agreed.

After cooperating with Si Yunming, Xu Jiawei felt the benefits of the collaboration. Si Yunming was like a giant ten-meter-tall insect-proof shield, and Xu Jiawei could easily find monsters by relying on her rainbow intuition.

Although experience needs to be shared equally among people, their efficiency has been greatly improved.

As for Si Yunming's little octopus, it can't help right now because Si Yunming's upgrade rewards don't include this pet breakthrough potion.

After leaving one bottle for the red earthworm, Xu Jiawei had one extra bottle, which she had just obtained from leveling up. So she gave one bottle to Si Yunming, and Si Yunming also gave Xu Jiawei one of the high-attribute-boosting fruits he had obtained from leveling up.

Xu Jiawei accepted the fruit. This fruit could randomly increase attributes by 10 points. Xu Jiawei had never seen such an attribute fruit before. After learning that Si Yunming had also obtained it through leveling up, she didn't ask any more questions and ate it directly.

After leveling up, the little octopus regained its confidence. Previously, it had been knocked down to level 10 by Xu Jiawei, but now it had returned to level 30. It was overjoyed and wanted to test its skills against Xu Jiawei's pet.

But after learning that Xu Jiawei's pets ranged in level from 38 to 41, he immediately gave up the idea.

The little octopus gave Si Yunming a disdainful pat. "Si, hurry up and get on good terms with that rich woman. My breakthrough depends on you."

Si Yunming glanced at the little octopus but didn't say a word.

The next day, Xu Jiawei yawned; without the energy potion, she was prone to drowsiness.

But Xu Jiawei glanced at Si Yunming beside her and asked, "Three o'clock brother, aren't you sleepy?"

"I have a skill that allows me to not need to sleep." Si Yunming took out the house and then said, "You should go and rest for a while." Xu Jiawei didn't stand on ceremony and just released her pet beast to gain experience, leaving only Little Pink behind.

When Si Yunming saw the rainbow summoning guards, his lips twitched. He could gain experience while lying down. Maybe when the octopus grew up, he could also gain experience while lying down.

Si Yunming thought about it and decided to work even harder, so as not to fall too far behind.

Xu Jiawei slept until the afternoon. She slowly yawned, glanced at her experience bar, and thought, "Rainbow and the others are working pretty hard."

Not long after, Si Yunming returned, and the insects in the room vanished instantly.

She had just fallen asleep, but thanks to Xiao Fen watching over her, when Xu Jiawei sat up, she saw Si Yunming taking a bunch of wild vegetables he had gathered and starting to cook. She had been wondering if Si Yunming would starve to death, but it turned out that Si Yunming had a clever plan: to dig up wild vegetables and eat them. It was indeed a good idea.

Xu Jiawei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother San Dian, when you were gathering wild vegetables, did you also gather any medicinal herbs?"

Si Yunming nodded and took out all the herbs he had collected. Xu Jiawei looked at them and saw that there were quite a few kinds of herbs. Thanks to Xu Jiawei's previous explanations of herbs, they all recognized them and would collect them whenever they saw them.

Xu Jiawei observed carefully and realized that these potions could be used to make some energy potions and insect repellent potions, as well as a potion of recovery potions.

Her eyes lit up, and she took Si Yunming's soup pot and asked Xiao Fen to help her brew the potion. She was already used to being back to square one.

Can't you just make medicine with any pot? It doesn't matter what kind of pot it is.

Si Yunming: ......

Is this how the medicine is made?

This must be the secret recipe used by genius pharmacists.

Xu Jiawei spent two whole hours refining the potion. She got a little hungry during that time, so she ate some food. In the end, Xu Jiawei obtained 13 bottles of intermediate-level energy potion, 30 bottles of deworming medicine, and 11 bottles of intermediate-level recovery potion.

Xu Jiawei gave the 11 bottles of recovery potion to Si Yunming, and kept the rest for herself. Xu Jiawei felt no guilt at all; this was her reward for making the potion, even though the reward was rather high.

However, Si Yunming didn't care. The price wasn't high; the value of a bottle of intermediate-level potion was far greater than that of ordinary potions.

In the afternoon, Xu Jiawei went out with Si Yunming. With Si Yunming by her side, even Xiaofen could fight. There was no need to worry about the bugs. This was the first time Xiaofen had released its power, and the flames burned the monster to ashes.

It even started showing off its skills, unleashing its high-temperature domain, trapping the monsters inside and burning them to death within the domain.

However, Xiaofen's flame intensity is still weaker than Xu Jiawei's Photon Meteor. Even though Xiaofen has higher strength, her attack on dark creatures is still not as good as Xu Jiawei's. After all, light attribute only accounts for a small part of Xiaofen's damage, and more of it is fire damage.

Xu Jiawei's Light attribute is still very strong, accounting for about half of her total attributes.

Little Pink attacks one monster, while Xu Jiawei and Red Earthworm work together to kill another, and Rainbow attacks one monster by herself.

While Si Yunming was killing monsters, he watched Xu Jiawei's fight and couldn't help but feel a little envious. Is this the benefit of having many pets?

Si Yunming learned Xu Jiawei's fighting style. He glanced at the octopus, which immediately obeyed and controlled the monster. Si Yunming used darkness to corrode the monster. This method was indeed very efficient, but it was useless for improving combat ability. However, the main goal now was to level up, so Si Yunming learned Xu Jiawei's method to kill monsters.
