Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

At seven o'clock the next day, the teleportation magic circle lit up again. Xu Jiawei was already leaning against the wall resting, holding a book that was half-read in her hand.

Si Yunming sat down next to Xu Jiawei, and the two of them sat there leaning against each other all night.

Si Yunming didn't fall asleep because he wanted to see when the teleportation array would appear, since it would only appear for a brief moment, and if he missed it, he would have to wait another 12 hours.

Si Yunming stared at the direction of the teleportation array all night. When he saw a light flash in the direction of the teleportation array, he quickly woke up Xu Jiawei, and the two went outside.

Xu Jiawei immediately opened her eyes and walked out with Si Yunming. Seeing the clear world again, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but marvel at how she wasn't nearsighted after all.

It feels so good to see things clearly.

She pulled Si Yunming and walked outside. She needed to find Blackie quickly, as the situation there was urgent and she didn't know how long it would take to get there. She released Rainbow and let it pull them over.

She doesn't plan to clear out the treasure chests in this area; she can only contribute to other players' loot.

She needed to find Blackie quickly, so she set the destination of her navigation as Blackie.

This navigation system is really advanced. With this, you can find people and maybe even other partners. Xu Jiawei asked for their opinions, but they all refused because they wanted to become stronger and couldn't hold anyone back. Besides, they also had their families, and there were too many people in total.

So the matter was dropped, but Li Ming left with a final statement.

[The Lucky One is here: Sis, just you wait, there will definitely be a system announcement from me.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay, I'll be waiting.]

[Akagi: Haha, even Little Li is working this hard, so we can't fall behind.]

[Rain is falling: Of the three of us, I'll definitely be the first to receive the system announcement!]

[The European Emperor is here: Nonsense, it should be me.]

[Rain falls heavily: Let's have a competition then.]

[The Lucky One is here: Just you wait, it'll definitely be me, watch me solo the Scourge Source.]

Neither of them would back down, exchanging harsh words. They were currently using the guild chat channel, so they could chat casually with each other.

Speaking of guilds, Xu Jiawei was very worried about how her guild shop was doing, whether she had enough stock, and whether the shop would have to close down soon after it opened.

Rainbow moved as fast as the wind, and fortunately the dark spot wasn't too far away. Rainbow sped up and finally reached the location before dark, at 5 p.m.

A man wearing a black hoodie lay on the ground, his face covered in demonic markings, seemingly unconscious.

Si Yunming jumped off the rainbow and gently patted the person's face. "Wake up." This was the first time he had ever met someone of the same attribute as him who still retained their rationality.

The man opened his eyes with difficulty. "Who are you?" He clearly sensed that the man in front of him shared the same attribute as him, but the AAA Mushroom Fairy should have been a woman. Could it be that he had undergone gender reassignment surgery? The man's mind was a little confused at the moment.

Then another woman walked over into his line of sight. "Are you Black?" Xu Jiawei asked.

The man scanned Xu Jiawei from head to toe, somewhat incredulous. Was this person playing a trick on him? The big shot actually looked like this.

This is that ruthless big shot, the legendary strongest player. He thought this strongest player was a muscular, fierce woman, but now the image of this woman is completely different from what he imagined; they're practically unrelated.

Although Black was a man, he used to love reading novels, especially female-centric novels. The female protagonists in those novels were all tall, cool, and stylish mature women, each standing 1.7 meters tall. But this person was completely different from the novels. It turns out that novels are all lies.

Xu Jiawei glanced at Si Yunming. Was this guy stupid? Why wasn't he saying anything?

The man seemed to only then realize what was happening. "I'm black. Do you have a way to temporarily heal me?"

Xu Jiawei nodded and said, "I have a way to temporarily cure you, but the method is very painful, so you have to be patient."

The man gritted his teeth and nodded. Xu Jiawei began to unleash her skill, and the Light Purification fell on the black body. The man roared in pain on the ground. Xu Jiawei ordered Si Yunming to control the man.

Because of the blessing of the Goddess of Light, Si Yunming has great resistance to light-type skills, so this Light Purification did not pose much of a problem for him.

In just two hours, the man's voice became hoarse, and he couldn't utter a sound anymore. The demonic markings on his face faded and turned red.

Xu Jiawei stopped what she was doing and looked at the man. "How are you feeling?"

"Thank you, I feel much better," he said in a hoarse voice, looking at Xu Jiawei as he slowly stood up.

"If you want to resolve this completely, then rely on your own willpower to get through it." After saying that, Xu Jiawei turned around.

"I'll try my best. If this happens again in the future, can I come to you?" he asked.

Xu Jiawei nodded, then waved her hand and left with Si Yunming.

They need to continue searching for Cataclysmic Sources. Since the High Priest at the previous Cataclysmic Source was injured and escaped, if they encounter an uninjured High Priest, they might only be able to run away. For safety's sake, they should farm intermediate Cataclysmic Sources first.

Thinking it over, Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming left. After farming another intermediate-level natural disaster source point, Si Yunming also reached level 30. After reaching level 30, his race evolved again, and his attributes increased significantly, almost matching Xu Jiawei's.

"Brother Three, your race and talent are amazing." Xu Jiawei was a little envious. She had spent so much time and effort improving her attributes every day without fail, and now she had been overtaken.

"Your talent is also amazing, and you're very good at staying alive." After all, he couldn't obtain such a high survival talent even if he wanted to.

Xu Jiawei pondered. Indeed, a god like the Mushroom God, who was so good at preserving his life, was perhaps the only one who survived. She had personally witnessed the Mushroom God transform into spores and fly away, and then he had been resurrected.

She didn't remember it yet. Her own mushroom skill was pretty good, but Si Yunming's skill was also very good, so she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

If things continue like this, won't Si Yunming's abilities surpass hers very soon?

Thinking about this, Xu Jiawei decided to work even harder to improve. Now she has reached level 35. When she reaches level 40, she will go back to the bottom of the water to avenge herself and take back everything.

"The source of the natural disaster is just ahead," Si Yunming said.

The two quickly went inside. The cave was very quiet at night, but Xu Jiawei felt that something was wrong.

"Brother San Dian, let's go back. I have a bad feeling about this," Xu Jiawei said.

Si Yunming nodded, trusting Xu Jiawei completely, and the two turned and walked out.

"Something's not right," Si Yunming asked.

Xu Jiawei said, "I don't know, but there are no insect eggs near the cave, and the cave seems to have been recently dug out, not naturally formed."

After all, those guys only build temples on existing terrain; the only one they've ever seen carved out is that trap.
