Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

After Xu Jiawei left, the manager of the Stardust Chamber of Commerce immediately investigated her. He discovered that after leaving the Stardust Chamber of Commerce for the first time, Xu Jiawei went to the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce. After a long time, she was respectfully escorted out by Jin Jian and then went to the trading company to withdraw money.

What is it about this person that makes him so respected by Jin Jian? No matter what, there must be something to gain. The administrator of Stardust Continent was somewhat regretful and wanted to repair his relationship with Xu Jiawei.

So they sent someone to invite Xu Jiawei to the Stardust Merchant Guild again.

Xu Jiawei sneered. Did she think she could profit from Jin Jian's attitude?

But they're really arrogant, refusing to even come in person. Is this the attitude of the Stardust Merchant Guild?

"Tsk, is this how your Stardust Merchant Guild admits its mistakes? Shouldn't you come and apologize in person if you know you're wrong?" Xu Jiawei didn't tolerate them at all.

"What kind of attitude is this, woman? It's a blessing that our administrator apologized to you. Don't push your luck." The people from the Stardust Merchant Guild were getting impatient.

"Whoever wants this good fortune can have it. Anyway, I don't accept your apology. Get lost." Xu Jiawei glanced at them.

"You, you, you just wait!" he said before leaving.

Upon returning, the Stardust Merchant Guild members immediately reported to the manager: "Manager, that woman is incredibly ungrateful. She didn't want to come at all; she's practically asking for trouble. Should we teach her a lesson?"

The manager of the Stardust Chamber of Commerce was ashen-faced: "Idiot!" He wanted to go out immediately to apologize in person, but Xu Jiawei had already left, leaving him empty-handed.

Not long after, the manager of the Stardust Chamber of Commerce realized what kind of opportunity he had lost. He was filled with regret, the headquarters was furious, the entire branch was punished, and the manager was demoted.

No matter how much trouble someone can cause at work, Xu Jiawei would only say "serves them right" if she knew.

After saying goodbye to Si Yunming, Xu Jiawei bought some vegetable seeds and returned to the raft at seven o'clock sharp. At this time, Xu Jiawei saw a lot of private messages and wondered what had happened.

[Leader: Mushroom, what's wrong? I haven't heard from you all day.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I'm going out. Sorry, I forgot to tell you.]

Xu Jiawei gave him two jin of the meat she bought, and also gave Li Ming two jin. She also gave him some vegetables.

[Lucky Queen here: Sis, you're amazing! You actually managed to get vegetables.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Bought at the market.]

Li Ming scratched his head awkwardly, realizing he had backfired on his attempt to flatter, and quickly changed the subject.

[The Lucky One is here: Sis, you have no idea how much fun Aotian had while you were gone. I really wanted to beat him up.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I'll go check it out later.]

Having ended her conversation with Li Ming, Xu Jiawei had something more important to do, so she approached Zhang Yunting.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I suspect that the survival system's setting of hardship to reduce the number of players is a requirement of this world.]

[Leader: Why do I say that?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: This world has indigenous inhabitants, so I suspect there's a ulterior motive behind its acceptance of us humans.]

Xu Jiawei's words were incredibly informative, leaving Zhang Yunting completely stunned.

After speaking, Xu Jiawei recalled the system's blocking during her conversation with Master Mishili. It seemed that the system did not want humans to prepare in advance, nor did it want humans to die easily. Xu Jiawei could only think of a test.

However, this is not something Xu Jiawei should worry about; let Zhang Yunting have his own headache.

Xu Jiawei hasn't sold any medicine for a day, and the chat channel is in an uproar.

[Mountain Bike: Why aren't you selling potions today, boss? I can't hold on much longer.]

[Phone calls are expensive! Hopefully, something's happened to the boss.]

[Click to revive GG: Boss, don't die!]

Everyone in the chat channel was curious why Xu Jiawei hadn't sold any medicine today, but some people were actually quite happy.

[Aotian: Hahaha, heaven has eyes! Serves you right for daring to go against me.]

[Your Little Sweetheart: Brother Aotian, this is the retribution for Mushroom's actions, harming both herself and others.]

Aotian seized every opportunity to oppose Xu Jiawei. After all, because Xu Jiawei had blocked them, they had to pay high prices to find a proxy buyer. The more he thought about it, the more he hated her, and he wished he could kill Xu Jiawei immediately.

[Brother-in-law: That mushroom couldn't have chosen a better time to die; we're all waiting for her to sell her medicine.]

[Working separately: Exactly! They just die out there so easily, and they even monopolize the medicine supply. It's harmful to themselves and others.]

They were getting increasingly outrageous.

Many people also spoke up for Xu Jiawei.

[Wishing for legs that are 1.8 meters long: A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment; the person upstairs is a perfect example.]

[Ye Yezi: A bunch of ingrates, kicking someone when they're down.]

[The ultimate savior here: Which idiot said my sister is dead! Even if you all die, my sister won't.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: @Aotian, @YourLittleSweetheart, I'm sorry to disappoint you~ I'm still alive and well, the potions are back in stock, and anyone who insulted me has been blocked.]

Xu Jiawei put some of today's inventory on the shelves; how could she complain about making more money?

After the medicine was put on the shelves, Xu Jiawei started cooking. Shouldn't she try out all the things she bought? When stir-frying, you should put the oil in first, then the vegetables, add the seasonings, and you're done!

Xu Jiawei couldn't wait to take a bite. Hmm, indeed, suitable things should be given to suitable people; she'd better not cook.

Not knowing why Xu Jiawei's stir-fried dishes were bitter and astringent, she asked Zhang Yunting and Li Ming. Li Ming said that his dishes were the same, and the two of them agreed that it was a problem with the dishes, until Zhang Yunting sent Xu Jiawei a picture of the stir-fried dishes.

Xu Jiawei stared at it for a moment, and it seemed to be no different from what she had cooked. So she put it in her mouth and took a bite. The bitter taste disappeared, but hers and Zhang Yunting's were no different, except that it was a little burnt.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: How did you make this? Mine looks about the same as yours, but the taste is so different.]

[Leader: The cooking methods are all researched by our head chef. Let me ask.]

After receiving the food sent by Xu Jiawei, Zhang Yunting distributed the dishes and meats to the chefs and researchers to study how to prepare them.

[Leader: The chef told me I need to blanch the vegetables, then soak them in clean water for two hours. Stir-fry them evenly for no more than five minutes, otherwise they will have a bitter taste.]

As expected, professional matters should be left to professionals, so Xu Jiawei will not bother them.

As darkness fell completely, the sharks attacked again. Xu Jiawei chased them away first. Xu Jiawei's archery accuracy is getting better and better.

Afterwards, Xu Jiawei placed the medicinal herb field on the raft and the portable planting soil on the other side.

When the protective cover rose above the medicinal herb field and planting soil, just like the mushroom culture dish, Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief. She then arranged for the working mushrooms to plant the herb seeds and vegetables. Oh right, the mushrooms hadn't been harvested yet. Xu Jiawei picked the healing enoki mushrooms, split them open, and put them on the system store.

The next day, the rain intensified, a light breeze even picked up, and the temperature dropped a bit. Xu Jiawei opened the system.

[Ocean Survival Journey Day 16, 07:02 Weather: Heavy rain, light breeze]

Sure enough, the wind picked up. Xu Jiawei was a little worried. What if the wind got stronger and stronger, and the awning was blown away by the wind before the rain could even destroy it?

Today, the glass bottles provided by the system just expired, and Xu Jiawei messaged Zhang Yunting privately.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Do you have the tools to make glass bottles yet?]

[Leader: You've come at the perfect time! I just received my package and was just about to come find you.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Sell it to me. The system doesn't provide glass bottles anymore. Also, sell awnings and help me collect the glass.]

[Leader: Okay, give me whatever you think is appropriate.]

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and gave Zhang Yunting a lot of medicine in exchange.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I have a treasure map here. The system suggests forming a team. Do you want to join?]
