Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

After a day of travel, Zhang Yunting was closer to them, so at their current pace, they should be able to catch up soon.

The two sat on top of the rainbow.

"Hey, what level are you now?" Xu Jiawei was in a party when she killed those high priests, so Si Yunming should have gotten half of the experience.

"Level 46, almost level 47," Si Yunming said.

It's going by so fast. Si Yunming is almost level 50. Once Si Yunming reaches level 50, they will organize a team to go to the central area again.

Xu Jiawei said, "If we go when you reach level 50, we might not be in such a passive position."

After traveling for seventeen hours, the two finally arrived at Zhang Yunting's location, and Zhang Yunting continued to travel towards Xu Jiawei.

They mentioned in the guild channel before that Bai Yu had developed a location navigation feature. Although it's not as useful as Xu Jiawei's feature, it's enough to find someone.

Xu Jiawei's navigation system is real-time and can be used to track enemies, while Bai Yu's positioning navigation system updates the location every 5 minutes.

It's generally sufficient for navigation, but it's useless if you're looking for enemies with extremely high movement speed.

"Jiawei, are you alright?" Bai Yu asked with some concern.

Xu Jiawei didn't say what happened at the final source point, why there had been no movement for so long, and why she was now looking for the leader team, which meant she must have encountered a very serious problem.

Otherwise, the two of them would have used up all the natural disaster source points.

"It's all right now." Xu Jiawei smiled. As for what happened, she couldn't explain it in a short time. She would wait until she met the leader team to find out.

"Xiao Xu, the old leader has agreed. They've set up camp in the intermediate-level disaster zone and we need to head over there," Zhang Yunting said. Xu Jiawei nodded, understanding. After all, the leader team had many elderly, weak, women, and children who were unable to fight, all of whom were family members of the team members. It was normal for them to set up camp in the intermediate-level disaster zone.

"But Xiao Xu, there's something I need to tell you in advance. Officials are here too; they seem to want to know as well," Zhang Yunting said.

Xu Jiawei was somewhat surprised, "The officials are here too, that's good, they should know about these things too, so they don't have to make another trip."

"It's good that you're not angry." Zhang Yunting breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's go straight to the intermediate-level natural disaster area. These things are more important than leveling up." Xu Jiawei didn't tell her companions now because she didn't want to say it a second time. Telling everyone all at once would save her from repeating it over and over again.

No one objected. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Xu Jiawei is now the captain of their team, and the members generally agree with what she says.

Setting up the location as the team's base camp, the group climbed onto the rainbow's back and quickly headed towards their destination. "All we do every day is keep moving forward," Xu Jiawei sighed.

The journey was incredibly boring. When she was bored, Xu Jiawei would either reread her magic book and the apothecary's notes or practice her magic proficiency.

Although no matter how she practices magic now, the effects are minimal, Xu Jiawei has no intention of giving up.

The more you practice, the better you'll get; little by little, you'll accumulate results, like water dripping on a stone.

One day, her accumulated efforts will finally come to fruition, giving Xu Jiawei a pleasant surprise.

The others looked at Xu Jiawei with nothing but admiration. They had never seen anyone work as hard as Xu Jiawei. No, there was another one, the one practicing swordsmanship right now.

The two of them were like tireless machines, constantly killing monsters and practicing, never having a moment to rest.

The other three could only look up to Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming with admiration. Seeing the two practicing, the three of them also felt a sense of urgency.

So they all started practicing their skills. Recently, they've been spending time with Xu Jiawei and the others. Although they feel very tired, their increased strength is real. It's a bittersweet experience.

The group regrouped. The group had automatically disbanded because the members were too far apart. Xu Jiawei hadn't yet tested the maximum distance a group could travel, but Si Yunming hadn't disbanded even after following Rainbow for such a long distance, so the range seemed quite large.

It takes about 5 hours to get to the leader team's headquarters from here. Along the way, Xu Jiawei didn't rest and reviewed her notes again.

It's just that you can't make potions on Rainbow Head, otherwise Xu Jiawei would have already made potions.

Wait a minute, why do I feel like I can't make potions? Little Pink and Rainbow are both Xu Jiawei's pets, they can't hurt each other, it's just that running is too bumpy, making it difficult to make potions.

No matter how harsh the environment, you have to adapt. If you run out of potions when you're trying to escape, you'll need to make potions no matter the environment. Maybe if you learn how to make potions on the rainbow's head, it will save your life someday.

Although Xu Jiawei's hypothetical conditions were too difficult, refining potions in a bumpy environment was also a way to hone her skills. As a future master pharmacist, how could she be stumped by such a small difficulty?

The group saw Xu Jiawei stop and immediately turned their attention to her. Xu Jiawei took out a soup pot from her ring and a stove.

Are they going to cook? The group became even more curious.

The group then saw Little Pink float into the stove, and Xu Jiawei took out the medicinal herbs.

Since the conditions are tough, let's start by making simple potions, such as intermediate basic potions.

The group stared in disbelief at Xu Jiawei, who was concocting potions in such a turbulent environment. At this point, none of them regarded Xu Jiawei as human. Even Si Yunming couldn't help but stop practicing and look at Xu Jiawei.

"Is this something a human could do?" The group lowered their voices even further. Li Ming leaned closer to Bai Yu and asked, "Is my sister really human? Has she finally given up on being human?"

"Without a doubt, I'm no longer human." Bai Yu was also completely stunned.

His tone was very calm, but it revealed a faint sense of madness, as if he had been driven to a mental breakdown by Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei felt that the surroundings were very bumpy, making it difficult to accurately control the dosage of the herbs. So she took out a small cup and poured the medicine in little by little.

This way, there's no need to worry about adding too much or too little due to hand tremors. It's just a bit more troublesome. Normally, it takes 10 minutes to refine, but now it takes 20 minutes because Xu Jiawei was afraid of not having enough time to add the herbs, so she lowered the temperature of the powder by half, making the herbs react even slower.

Intermediate-level potions don't require very precise temperature control, so Xu Jiawei can do it this way. However, for higher-level potions, the required temperature cannot be changed, so the flame temperature cannot be altered arbitrarily.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Jiawei finally finished refining the potion. Xu Jiawei felt a sense of satisfaction after successfully refining it. She had succeeded. She was a genius!

Time passed by, minute by minute, and they finally arrived at the Leader's Base. There were many people guarding the base, including military personnel and members of the Leader's team. The atmosphere was serious, as if something very important was about to happen.

Even the family members living with the leaders sensed something was wrong, speaking cautiously and even reducing their outings.
