Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but worry about Li Ming, so she asked in the guild channel.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Li Ming, have you reached the area of ​​the intermediate-level natural disaster?]

[The lucky one is here: Sis, don't worry about me, I'm almost there. I encountered some people robbing supplies on the way, which delayed me a bit.]

[Akagi: People looting supplies? How can this happen in a normal disaster zone? Aren't most players supposed to be in the intermediate disaster zones?]

[The lucky one here: Let me tell you, it's infuriating! The people looting are all players who were planning to stay here. They're deliberately blocking players heading to the intermediate-level disaster area, forcing them to hand over their supplies.]

[Rain Falling: These players who stayed in the ordinary disaster areas are not high level, so they should be fine.]

[The lucky one here: Their level is indeed not high, but they used some underhanded tricks and control skills. They deliberately delayed, refusing to hand over supplies, just to prevent people from reaching the mid-level disaster area. It's disgusting.]

[Rain Falling: That's so malicious! You don't want to leave, but you prevent others from leaving too. Are you alright?]

This completely exploits the weaknesses of these players who are on their way. Although it doesn't cause them any real harm, it's still disgusting.

[The lucky one is here: I'm fine. I just spent some time killing the people blocking my way. Making an example of them will deter others from blocking my path.]

[...: Li Ming, approximately how many people have you encountered who stayed outside?]

[The lucky one here: There weren't many, but there were still a few hundred.]

There were hundreds of people on Li Ming's route alone, so you can imagine how many people were left outside the safe haven. It's unclear how the system will deal with these players.

[The lucky one is here: Enough said, I need to hurry on my way.]

The others fell silent, while Si Yunming turned to Xu Jiawei and asked, "What do you think? How will the system deal with these players?"

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and said, "The most merciful approach is to just leave them outside and ignore them; the ruthless approach is to simply eliminate them."

Si Yunming completely agreed; the two shared the same view, and this was arguably the last hurrah for these guys.

The two returned to the vicinity of the high-level natural disaster source. This time, the natural disaster source was some distance away from the trap. By the time Xu Jiawei finished dealing with the natural disaster source, the high priests who came to help had already arrived late.

Both of them have become much stronger. Si Yunming has also reached level 40 and can easily deal with some minor priests. Now, the two of them are more than capable of dealing with the supporting major priests.

All three of the high priests came this time, but the previous high priests were killed, so they couldn't gather four. Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming could handle the situation with just three high priests.

After dealing with the high-level natural disaster source, Xu Jiawei also took care of the traps along the way. Without the high priest, the 20 minor priests were just a rabble. As long as they couldn't unite, everything would be fine.

However, without the High Priest's command, they could not unite.

After the traps were dealt with, it was just past 7 p.m.

[System Announcement: Did everyone reach the intermediate-level natural disaster area today? Are you very tired? But today's efforts are for tomorrow's success. This game announcement is hereby issued.]

1. The passage from ordinary disaster zones to intermediate disaster zones is now closed. Players remaining in ordinary disaster zones will no longer be able to travel to intermediate disaster zones. (You bunch of cowards, you'll regret this.)

2. Players remaining in ordinary disaster areas will be penalized by the system, losing access to food and having half of their current resources deducted. These players will be outside the system's control. (You are on your own.)

3. Players in intermediate-level Catastrophe zones will enter a new phase of the game, with increased difficulty. The number of monster chests will be halved, while the number of chests obtainable from Catastrophe Sources will be doubled. (Go farm Catastrophe Sources, there are diamond chests!)

4. To encourage players to become stronger, high-level Cataclysm Points will offer a chance to obtain Semi-Rare Treasure Chests, which may contain semi-mythical equipment. (Seriously, semi-divine equipment? Want some?)

5. After the natural disaster ends, an exchange shop will open where you can use contribution points to redeem rewards. Players are encouraged to participate. (Want to become stronger? The items in the exchange shop will exceed your expectations.)

Xu Jiawei sighed, the system is becoming more and more ruthless. The monsters are getting stronger, but the resources are getting scarcer. However, there are more Natural Disaster Source Chests now, which is indirectly forcing players to fight desperately.

Why does it feel like survival games are getting more and more rushed?

Xu Jiawei sat atop Rainbow's head and hurried towards the source of the calamity. After killing one more priest, Rainbow would reach level 50. Xu Jiawei was very much looking forward to seeing what Rainbow would evolve into.

......

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy and... for resolving a high-level natural disaster source point and obtaining a semi-rainbow treasure chest*1! Congratulations! (Envious? Come and kill some monsters!)]

Xu Jiawei looked at the system announcement and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt like she had become an official shill. Xu Jiawei was 100% sure that this semi-colored treasure chest was deliberately given by the survival system to show other players and make them envious.

Xu Jiawei was to open the treasure chest, since she was very lucky.

[Ding! Congratulations, player! You have obtained: Demigod-level Greatsword*1, Epic-level Staff*1, Colored Equipment Repair Scroll*1, Weapon Unlock Card*1]

[Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy for their incredible luck in obtaining demigod-level equipment! This will be announced server-wide.]

[Congratulations to player AAA Mushroom Fairy for obtaining demigod-level equipment from the chest! Congratulations!]

[Huang Feihong reborn: No, you can actually get demigod-level equipment? I'm so envious.]

[Phoenix: Damn it, the system is trying to seduce me, but I've fallen for it! I need to go kill some monsters.]

[Sisters: I want demigod gear too! I'm not sleeping tonight, I'm going to grind monsters!]

[Flower Monster: No, you guys were actually seduced.]

Xu Jiawei was speechless. She really was just a tool. But these things were really good. She desperately needed colored equipment repair vouchers and weapon unlock cards. As for the demigod-level greatsword, was it specially given to Si Yunming by the system? Didn't you see that the sword body was all black? It was obviously a dark attribute.

Xu Jiawei handed the greatsword to Si Yunming and pocketed the colored equipment repair voucher and weapon unlock card. Her Light Goddess Staff could finally be repaired.

However, since we can break through the rainbow barrier, let's take a look at the rainbow first.

The rainbow level is displayed as level 50, which is the maximum level and can be upgraded.

Xu Jiawei looked at the task interface and realized she still needed to complete some tasks.

[The pet Rainbow has reached its level cap and can now break through by soaking in the Divine Mushroom Hot Spring. (Progress 1/1 Completed)]

Xu Jiawei looked strange; she really had struck gold, and the mission was completed instantly.

I didn't expect the Mushroom God's hot spring pool to be so amazing. That means level 50 is the maximum level for Rainbow. After soaking in the pool, Rainbow can level up to a higher level.

Xu Jiawei immediately initiated the breakthrough, and the rainbow was instantly covered by rainbow-colored light. It lasted for about ten minutes before finally ending. The rainbow had completely changed; not only had its appearance changed, but its body had also changed. Xu Jiawei stared blankly at the rainbow that had split in two.

This time, the rainbow really did become two: one with devil horns and a little tail, and the other with an angel halo and little wings.

Apart from that, the two rainbows look exactly the same.

"Master, I am Rainbow One. Don't you recognize me?" said the demon Rainbow.

"Have you two become two people?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"If there are two, then there is one; we can also become one," Rainbow Two said.
