Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

As expected of the simulation, the added attribute panel was just average, without any surprises.

Each time she achieves a racial breakthrough, there are always surprises. Perhaps after the breakthrough, there will be significant changes compared to the current panel. The system is still too conservative.

Suddenly, Xu Jiawei felt a power that didn't belong to her entering her body, making her body stronger.

However, this power doesn't belong to me, so it feels a bit raw. I really need to break through on my own, since the power I have now doesn't belong to me.

The survival system is pretty good, considering they've given these players such a huge advantage. However, having such a huge advantage also proves just how powerful the enemies they'll be facing are.

As for the survival system, considering that it doesn't actually want humans to die, we won't criticize it. In Xu Jiawei's view, the survival system is both good and evil; sometimes it seems ruthless, and sometimes it seems humane.

The chat channel is still buzzing with discussion about this high-profile reward distribution, and some people are even starting to brag about it.

[Bumblebee: Oh dear, with the rewards I've reached level 40, and even the leveling quests have been canceled, I'm so sorry.]

[Mental Hospital Director: Tsk, what's there to brag about? It's the same as everyone else's. Surely no one actually didn't go.]

[Butterfly: So arrogant! Be careful, your joy might turn to sorrow. I'm waiting for your profile picture to turn black.]

[Ye Yezi: Hahaha, someone's jealous. Sigh, how come I'm level 40 too? It's so embarrassing.]

They won't give these selfish players who want to follow them around and enjoy the benefits a friendly attitude.

As for Si Yunming, he has now reached level 57, which is still quite a distance from level 60, while Bai Yu and the others are already close to level 50. They have obtained so many rewards from just one battle, which is hard for everyone to believe.

Xu Jiawei suppressed her joy. The treasure chest hadn't been opened yet, and she didn't know what she could get from the colorful treasure chest. She hoped it would be useful in the battles to come.

[Ding! Congratulations on opening the chest and obtaining the following items: Divine Protection Necklace, Shelter Repair Token*1, Shelter Upgrade Token*1, Skill Breakthrough Token*1, and Top-Tier Attribute Enhancement Fruit*10]

Having acquired another god-tier piece of equipment, Xu Jiawei took out the god-tier protective necklace to check its attributes.

[Divine Protection Necklace: Players gain 50% damage reduction, 50% increased skill damage, and +10000 mana.]

As expected of a god-tier piece of equipment, its stats are ridiculously strong. The 50% damage reduction brings her closer to Rainbow's tankiness. At least with this equipment, she can withstand attacks for a little longer.

There was also a shelter repair voucher. Could the shelter she had destroyed for so long finally be repaired? After all, shelters could eventually be exchanged for contribution points. If it was damaged, who knew if her contribution points would be reduced? Xu Jiawei chose to use it directly. The shelter was completely renewed, and even the things inside were restored, including the bathroom that Xu Jiawei had asked the domineering CEO to bring.

Xu Jiawei said regretfully, "What a loss! I should have thrown in all the broken stuff." Maybe it would have been able to fix them all.

As for the shelter upgrade voucher, Hsu Chia-wei isn't in a hurry to use it. She has plenty of materials right now, so she'll see how far she can upgrade the shelter before using the voucher.

After upgrading the temporary shelter with the existing materials, we only managed to upgrade it by one level before running out of materials.

Okay, it seems I'll have to keep using upgrade tickets. Skill breakthrough tickets can be used on all skills, even passive skills. Xu Jiawei thought for a moment, now that Golden Body is at its maximum level, could she break through it again? She's reached the limit of Golden Body now, and if she exceeds that limit, Golden Body will be useless.

Xu Jiawei used the skill breakthrough ticket directly on the golden body, and it worked as expected.

The Golden Body hasn't changed much, except for two additional effects: immunity to all damage below level 100 and an increase in the number of times it can be used per day from three to five.

In other words, no matter how strong the opponent is, as long as they haven't reached level 100, they won't break the golden body. This makes killing the Dark God's clone much more certain. As for the top-tier attribute-boosting fruit, each one randomly increases attributes by 20 points, and 10 can be used. Xu Jiawei ate them directly, which further increased her chances of success.

After eating the attribute fruit, Xu Jiawei's attributes finally broke through the 900 mark. She glanced at the time and realized there was still an hour left. She should hurry up and refine the potion.

Soon, the two hours were up, and Commander Zhang immediately directed the players to set off. After about an hour, they saw the outline of the temple. Commander Zhang stood at the front, stopped, and looked at the players following behind him, saying, "All players who have run out of resurrection attempts can decide for themselves whether to stay or leave. We will not force anyone. The rest of the journey is entirely voluntary."

Since there's no chance of resurrection, what follows is undoubtedly suicide.

"I guarantee that once you enter the temple, if you can still leave, all players without a chance to resurrect can retreat, preserving the flame of humanity." Commander Zhang scanned all the players.

The players looked at each other in bewilderment. Then, a few of them thought for a moment and left. After all, there was no chance of resurrection now, and they had even used up all their potions. Going in would only be suicide.

No one blamed them; it was all their own choice. Those who didn't choose to leave were prepared to take a gamble, and if they survived, the reward would only be richer than it is now.

"Alright, from now on, I will not allow anyone to betray humanity. Anyone who chooses to surrender will be court-martialed immediately!" After Commander Zhang finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the temple.

The others followed from behind. From the outside, the temple was very quiet, as if there was no one there. But when they went inside, they found that the sounds inside seemed to be blocked out, and they could not hear anything from the outside.

The ground inside was shaking violently, indicating a fierce battle. The facilities inside the hall were almost completely destroyed, and everyone quickly quickened their pace to provide support.

The temple was enormous, so large that the group couldn't see the end of it at a glance. The space inside was much larger than it appeared from the outside. The group hurried toward the direction from which the sound came.

The further they went, the more energy fluctuations stirred up hurricanes, causing everyone to sway and even bringing an invisible pressure that made them want to retreat.

As they drew closer, the pressure intensified, causing everyone to tremble and their eyes to fill with fear. Was this the power of a god? They hadn't even seen his figure yet, but he could exert so much pressure on them.

By the time they reached the center of the battle, let alone fighting, they couldn't even lift their heads. Their bodies were trembling violently, as if the slightest provocation could completely break them down, and they screamed and fled.

However, their reason kept them in check.

Commander Zhang was extremely anxious. He was so frightened as soon as they met; how could they possibly fight?

"Break your spirits and prepare for battle!" Commander Zhang shouted.

At this moment, the battle between the Mushroom God and the Dark God had reached a fever pitch. The Mushroom God was in better condition than Xu Jiawei had imagined. Although he was at a disadvantage, he had not suffered any serious injuries. None of the divine messengers he brought had been killed, except that one of them was seriously injured.

The dark figure opposite him was the Dark God's clone. Xu Jiawei had seen the Dark God from afar in the past, and now the clone's aura was very similar to that of the Dark God's true form.
