Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

With a week left before the training camp, players are busy searching for the source of the natural disaster.

The system announcements were incessant, and even the chat channel was buzzing with discussions about the training camp and strategies for the Cataclysm source points, making it quite lively.

It seems everyone has regained their energy and is no longer listless.

Xu Jiawei and the others then headed back to the high-level natural disaster source point to continue leveling up. Xu Jiawei suspected that at their current speed, they would be able to clear the high-level natural disaster source point even faster than the mid-level one.

That would be ridiculous. So, will the system then send them to the intermediate or final catastrophe source point, or will the high-level catastrophe source point area remain unblocked?

The distribution of the priests is just like in a game. The outermost layer is the weakest, and the further in you go, the stronger they become. Xu Jiawei feels that this is because of the system. It restricts the area where the priests' levels exist. Otherwise, if all these priests swarmed to the outer edge, the players would probably be wiped out.

The priests also had a solution: setting traps and exploiting loopholes in the survival system. This was quite effective, just like the trap Xu Jiawei encountered for the first time. In just a few minutes, hundreds of players were killed. If Xu Jiawei hadn't had strong survival skills, she would have died there too.

As for why the intensity of the final calamity source point is so high, Xu Jiawei suspects that the survival system cannot reach there either, and can only ensure that they cannot escape the area of ​​the final calamity.

After all, once inside, the system was blocked, but it seems that the system was reconnected later. It should be because of the two of them that they managed to get in.

After all, the system said there would be no further activity after logging off before she went in, but the system voice came back after Xu Jiawei killed more than a dozen high priests. Xu Jiawei was very curious about what the system had done after she went in.

Speculating here will only cause more trouble; it's better to just ask directly.

"System, what did you do after entering the final disaster zone?" Xu Jiawei suddenly asked, startling the people next to her.

She then silently turned her head away, but her ears were still perked up. Although Xu Jiawei didn't know why she asked that question, it was clearly a very important one, which directly affected their subsequent actions.

[Ding! To enhance the player experience, the survival system has separated the temple from the source of the catastrophe. You're welcome. (You finally asked! I've been waiting for this!)]

The system is quite narcissistic, to say the least.

"Xiao Xu, what did the system say?" Since it was Xu Jiawei who asked, the system only displayed the message to Xu Jiawei. As for the others, they didn't hear anything at all. Sometimes the system can be quite stingy.

Several faces eagerly crowded around, and even Si Yunming couldn't help but glance at Xu Jiawei.

Everyone looked at her. Xu Jiawei cleared her throat and then said, "There's good news: when we deal with the source of the natural disaster, the Dark God's avatar won't appear. That area has been sealed off by the system."

While this is indeed good news, it's not that much better. The situation is still quite serious, and there's basically no change.

Seeing Li Ming's disappointed expression, Zhang Yunting immediately comforted him, "Don't be disappointed. This also eliminates an unstable factor for us, making it easier for us to deal with the situation from here on out."

"That's true. If that clone jumps out when we kill these bishops, it's not a good thing either." We'd have to spend energy and devise tactics to deal with that clone, which isn't worth it.

"How strong do you think this clone is?" Li Ming joked.

As for the strength of this clone, it couldn't possibly have become a god, so what's the point of them fighting?

"I don't know, but he should be stronger than these bishops, probably level 85 or higher, but not level 90 or higher," Bai Yu said.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

Bai Yu swallowed hard, somewhat incredulous, and continued, "No way, if this clone can really reach the god-level, then is it still a clone?"

"It's hard to say. Even if it's not at the God Rank, it should be close to the God Rank. We need to prepare in advance," Xu Jiawei said.

The topic was a bit heavy, but fortunately the source of the natural disaster was found quickly.

The group divided the work and worked together. The three of them could handle the high-level natural disaster sources, so Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming focused on dealing with the traps.

This was a piece of cake for them; these people could only be killed by Xu Jiawei. Soon the place was cleaned up, and Zhang Yunting's situation was also resolved.

By the time Xu Jiawei arrived, Zhang Yunting and the others had just finished dealing with the person, and the High Priest was beaten beyond recovery.

She was tortured to death by the three of them. As for Xu Jiawei, she couldn't help but applaud from the sidelines. This was such a huge improvement.

Three days later, Xu Jiawei did not rest during those three days and kept running back and forth. Her leveling speed was truly unmatched, and she gained a lot.

On the morning of the fourth day, Li Ming stopped Xu Jiawei, who was about to continue searching for the source of the natural disaster, and said first, "Sister, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so don't work so hard. We haven't had a proper meal together in a long time."

"Aren't we having a get-together right now?" Xu Jiawei wiped the sweat from her brow.

"This is different," Li Ming said.

"Yes, Xiao Xu, this is our first Spring Festival in this world. Let's not leave any regrets. As for next year, we don't even know if we'll be alive," Zhang Yunting said in a heavy tone.

For a moment, the surrounding sounds fell silent. "It's the New Year, let's not talk about these things," Bai Yu said, trying to smooth things over.

"Alright, let's have a meal together then," Xu Jiawei said. She should rest well today. She hadn't expected to have been in this world for so long. Counting the days, it really is almost Chinese New Year.

"No need, our old leader invited us this time. Let's have a meal at the Leader Base. I heard the food is going to be very plentiful," Zhang Yunting said after checking the chat interface.

Bai Yu asked curiously, "Huh, aren't they busy with registration? Shouldn't they be very busy right now?"

Zhang Yunting explained, "There are far fewer people signing up today, and with so many people, we still have time to have a meal together. The entire base will be participating in this meal."

"Okay, let's go to the Leader Base then. If we go now, we can still make it for lunch," Xu Jiawei said with a smile.

The group sat atop the rainbow's head, and the rainbow began to run wildly, quickly arriving at the leader's base.

Upon arriving at the Leader Base, the entire base was bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Some people had pasted couplets on the door frames, while some players, who were clearly foreigners, watched all of this with curiosity.

It felt like she had returned to peaceful times. Xu Jiawei was somewhat dazed. Only after arriving here did she realize how precious that safe life she used to have was. Looking at all this, Xu Jiawei couldn't bear to disturb it. After arriving in the survival game, most players perished in the sea, and some players died here.

How many players are left? Xu Jiawei didn't know, but even if countless people died, the survivors would still do their best to survive and even improve their lives.
