Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Things turned out much better than the authorities had anticipated; in just a short time, hundreds of people joined them.

This was when there weren't many players above level 25. Now, players above level 25 are considered to be at the top of the player base, and there aren't many of them in total.

The old leader was moved to tears.

[Rainy Bear: @ChinaOfficial, @LeaderOfficial, can I ask about the training camp? What is this training camp?]

[Official Chinese Announcement: Hello, player. This training camp is designed to prepare players for the level 80 Priest and to improve their level and strength. We will select high-combat-power human players as instructors.]

[Bumblebee: Holy crap, are there any mushroom masters here, or those with three dots? If so, I'll join.]

[At sea: Me too. It's rare to get to see such a master. I'd like to know how they fight and how they train.]

After all, if they could be trained by a top expert, they could learn the expert's fighting methods. Even some of the top experts on the rankings were tempted. If these two really existed, they would definitely go and learn something from them.

[Soybean Powder: It's still far from over. The big shots are so busy every day, farming Cataclysm resources, where would they find the time to train players?]

The officials were also caught in a dilemma. They couldn't possibly let the top players train these players, as that would slow down the top players' leveling speed and wouldn't bring any benefits.

Finally, the leader made the decision: "Go ask Comrade Xu and Comrade Si what they want. If we can do it, ask them to set aside some time each day to train these players."

The news quickly reached Xu Jiawei. After pondering for a while, Xu Jiawei realized that she didn't have much to train them. Her physical skills were still mediocre, and she relied solely on skills to deal damage.

Hsu Chia-wei refused: "I don't have much to train with. My methods are definitely not as good as the official training methods. It's no use sending me there. I might even lead people astray."

"It's alright, Miss Xu. You just need to train their combat strategies and take them to the Cataclysm spawn points to accumulate combat experience. If possible, could you also teach the players how to brew simple potions? What do you think?"

Xu Jiawei relaxed her brows. That wasn't a problem: "Okay, I need a usable crucible and some rare herbs. As for the quantity, you can decide what to give me."

"Ms. Xu, it's a pleasure doing business with you." The negotiator smiled and extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Xu Jiawei also extended her hand and shook hands with the negotiator.

As for Si Yunming, they used the same rhetoric. Si Yunming also refused, citing the same reason that his techniques were inferior to the official training system.

Finally, the negotiator offered to teach him combat methods and strategies, and Si Yunming eventually agreed. Si Yunming's request was for epic-level equipment, since he had no luck in obtaining good equipment.

After reporting the negotiation results to their superiors, the two leaders looked at the requests of the two individuals and said, "Since Comrade Xu wants the precious herbs, then give them all to her. We don't have any senior pharmacists right now, so we don't need them at all. Let those pharmacists learn from Comrade Xu."

"As for Comrade Si, let's see how many epic equipment pieces we have in our inventory and give him the ones he needs most."

The task was assigned, and soon the herbs were delivered to Xu Jiawei's room. Xu Jiawei looked at the dozens of various high-grade herbs and was very satisfied. It seemed that she could refine high-grade potions.

As for the crucible, Xu Jiawei had seen it before, because she had given the CEO the same one before. The price was very attractive, and although it was not as good as the nameless crucible, it was still very useful.

Xu Jiawei accepted the gift and put the crucible away.

Upon receiving the news, the Chinese government and the leader's official channels immediately posted it in the chat channel.

[Official announcement from the leader: Due to popular demand, we invited @AAA蘑菇仙人 and @... player. We are very honored that both players accepted our invitation, and the training instructor will be joining them.]

[Two Butterflies: Oh my god, is this for real?! These two big shots are so mysterious, are we finally going to see their true faces?]

[Jiu Min: You're not lying to us, are you? It's like a pyramid scheme, luring us there and then we can't leave.]

[Ghost: Can't you still send messages?]

[Jiu Min: You're right, but by then it was too late; the person had already been fooled.]

[Nine Demons: Actually, I don't really believe it.]

[Six Lines: Don't worry, brothers, I'll do a divination and let you know later.]

[Headband: How's your calculation going, bro? Why's so quiet?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It's true, I'll be joining the training in seven days.]

[Hiss: Capturing a big shot.]

[Stinky Cat: Catch!]

[Six Lines: I've figured it out, it's true.]

[Qiandu: ...Bro, I figured it out even after you did it this way.]

[Seven Heads: Actually, I figured it out too.]

[Beautiful: I've figured it out too.]

More and more people are signing up now, and even some high-level players above level 30 have joined in. However, there are still some people who are watching and have not yet joined, especially some top players above level 35.

Most of the players joining now are mid-level players.

After player Robert joined, other high-level players also joined one after another. The officials did not expect so many people. The venue they had prepared in advance was not enough, so they had to expand it overnight to accommodate all the players.

It's fortunate that there's a level 25 threshold; otherwise, who knows how many people would be there.

Moreover, most players are below level 25, with only a very small percentage being above level 25.

However, ordinary high-end combatants would end up at the very bottom of the food chain once they arrived here.

Some players around level 35 started making demands, even outrageous ones, which were directly rejected by the official staff. After all, they couldn't open that door. They could understand that these players were very proud and felt that their participation was an honor for the official team.

However, for the sake of team discipline, these players cannot be recruited unless they compromise.

In the end, these players gritted their teeth and agreed, after all, there weren't many opportunities to learn from top-tier combatants, and they couldn't miss this chance.

The official announcement also stated that players who reach level 40 or above can join the ranks of instructors, and will receive epic equipment and other valuable materials as a gift.

This message made all the players very envious, but after looking at their own levels, they cooled down.

Some players who are close to level 40 are starting to work hard, hoping to reach level 40 while they still have time. However, they don't realize that there are still quests after reaching level 40, and it's impossible to reach level 40 or higher during this time.

After a period of hard work, Zhang Yunting and his group are almost at level 40. They have been leveling up, while Xu Jiawei and the others have been farming high-level natural disaster points, preparing to complete their quests directly.
