Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"There's no rush. Leveling up is the most important thing. If your level isn't high enough and your strength isn't sufficient, you'll just be throwing your life away," Si Yunming said.

The leader turned his attention to him. So this was the second player in the human faction to reach level 40? Although he was quiet, he spoke with neither arrogance nor servility. He was truly a talent worthy of China. The leader was very pleased that such a capable person was still in China.

Everyone took his opinions very seriously.

"We understand that you need to reach at least level 30 before we will allow you to go. Don't worry, we will make the arrangements."

The next step is to discuss how to recruit players, and the official team and the leader are also preparing to take this opportunity to recruit some talent.

After learning what kind of enemy they were facing, they realized that their current forces were no longer sufficient.

As professionals, they are more organized and disciplined, but correspondingly, their casualty rate is alarmingly high.

They ventured into the most dangerous places, even those inaccessible to ordinary players, just to figure out the purpose of survival games as soon as possible.

Especially at the very beginning of the game, when all the players knew nothing, they had already discovered most of the information, but this was basically achieved by sacrificing lives.

If none of the people sent out survive, send out another batch until someone comes back alive with news. If you ask why they risk their lives so much, it's simply so that humanity can survive in this strange world. Xu Jiawei can only admire them.

Because they disregarded life and death, the official control became increasingly weak. After the first natural disaster, they no longer wanted to control the situation, because they realized that the essence of the game was natural selection and survival of the fittest. They could only help within their own capabilities.

It's better to follow the requirements of the survival system, allowing all players to grow and enabling them to survive natural disasters on their own.

The group then discussed how to send the message.

"Should we conceal the danger? Politeize the information?" This time it was Li Ming who asked.

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Si Yunming and said, "No need, tell them the truth."

The three looked at Xu Jiawei in surprise. Would anyone really come if they told the truth like this? Especially Li Ming, who, having grown up in a business family, knew that concealment was the most advantageous thing for him.

This time, Si Yunming explained, "If you don't have the courage to come, it's useless even if you trick them into coming."

"Brother Three is right. Even if we manage to lure these people here, they might just run away or betray us and join the Dark Temple, which would undoubtedly be more disadvantageous for us," Xu Jiawei said.

Li Ming suddenly realized that he had overlooked this factor. Sure enough, his sister and brother had thought of everything. He was still too inexperienced and needed to continue learning from his brother and sister.

The official leader nodded in agreement; the people they wanted to recruit had to have courage, that was the primary quality.

"Okay, I'll have them come up with the copy and send it out tonight. It's already so late, and you've been traveling for so long, you must be tired. Go and get some rest," said the leader of the team. "Xiao Zhang, you can make the arrangements."

Zhang Yunting immediately saluted and shouted, "Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Afterwards, Zhang Yunting led the four of them out. As soon as Li Ming walked out of the conference room, he couldn't help but yawn. After all, he had been training all day and had experienced intense emotional fluctuations. Now that he was calm, he suddenly felt sleepy.

The others also looked exhausted, including Bai Yu and Zhang Yunting.

Finally, Zhang Yunting led Xu Jiawei and the others to an empty house. The house looked very large and seemed to be built in the same way as the previous conference hall, both being products of magic. When Xu Jiawei walked in, she was stunned.

Could this be the original conference hall? Judging from the layout, it's clearly a smaller version of the building we just saw. There are many rooms inside, so each of them chose one. Xu Jiawei asked for a place where she could practice magic.

Since it was a product of magic, Xu Jiawei couldn't guarantee that her skill wouldn't affect the house.

What if you accidentally knock down the house? Wouldn't that be awkward? You've just arrived as a guest and you've already destroyed someone's house. That wouldn't be good.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunting finally chose a very secluded basement.

"Xiao Xu, don't worry, this place is very safe. It was built with the best materials," Zhang Yunting said, pointing to the basement.

Xu Jiawei looked around and was very satisfied. Zhang Yunting even brought out a bed for her to use.

Xu Jiawei plopped down on the bed and began casting magic. As for why she didn't practice making medicine, it was because she was currently in dire need of herbs and could only gather enough for intermediate-level potions. Practicing this kind of simple potion was pointless.

Xu Jiawei was curious. This place was so big, why couldn't she even collect a single high-grade herb? Could it be that the source of the natural disaster had absorbed all the energy, so there was nothing left?

Xu Jiawei felt she had figured it out, she sighed and continued practicing.

A huge mountain was blocking her way; how could she stand still?

The night passed quickly, and it was time for all players to wake up. The official team and the leader team began to release recruitment information.

[Official Chinese announcement: For the survival of humanity, we sincerely invite all players level 25 and above to participate in the siege of the final Cataclysmic Source. The final Cataclysmic Source has a danger level of S and contains several priests level 80 and above. Interested players are welcome to contact us.]

[Pride: Who would go something so dangerous? One wrong move and you'd be dead. I'm not stupid.]

[Ye Yezi: I'll go. No matter what, we'll go. After all, we have to eliminate all the sources of natural disasters.]

[Pride: Isn't it good for us to stay here? It's safe here.]

[Cow: Are we just supposed to wait for the system to kick us out? What if the system just shuts down the intermediate-level natural disaster source directly?]

[Pride: Are you stupid? Even if you're kicking people out, you'll be heading to higher-level Cataclysm locations, which are much farther from the final Cataclysm location. Besides, I kill monsters with my teammates every day, so my level won't fall behind.]

[Yezi111: Yeah, it's definitely safe here. Isn't going to the final Cataclysm point just suicide?]

[Grape Seed: Anyway, I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go. It's a contribution to all of humanity, and we can benefit from it too.]

[Wishing for legs to be 1.8 meters long: I want to go, how do I contact them? Can I just add them as a friend and message their official account?]

[Official Chinese account: Players can contact us through the official Chinese account or the official WeChat account of the game developer. We sincerely invite players from any country, whether Chinese or from other countries, as long as they meet the criteria.]

[A rough summary: I'm crying. I'm only level 24, what should I do? I'm not good enough.]

[Official Chinese statement: Registration will be open for one week, followed by intensive training.]

In other words, you have seven days to practice, and as long as you reach level 25 within seven days, you will be considered to have passed the test.

[The more the merrier: I'm level 22 now, and I don't know if I can reach level 25 in other areas. I need to work harder.]

[Friend: I'm a bit higher level than you, currently level 23. Let's cheer each other on!]

[Major Development: +1]

The conversation was polarized: some people thought those who joined were fools, while others thought those who didn't join were just waiting to reap the benefits from those who did.

However, the wind was blowing much better than Xu Jiawei had imagined; she thought it would be one-sided with very few people joining.
