Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Second phase of the mission begins. Defeat the Dark God's clone (0/1). Reward: 4 Diamond Chests. (Note: Players can receive more rewards based on their damage ranking.)]

Wow, the basic rewards have doubled! I wonder what the rewards will be like later, but the basic rewards alone are enough to make all players' eyes light up with envy.

Instantly, the players' fear vanished, replaced by a burning desire for the reward.

The players looked at the Dark God's avatar with the same ravenous gaze of wolves that hadn't eaten for three days, their eyes filled with a longing for meat. Commander Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally planned to give a short speech or a rally, but now he didn't need to. The players were bursting with confidence.

The best way to instill fear in combat suits is to offer enough incentive to make people lose their sense of purpose and become infatuated.

"I've been waiting for you guys for ages. Are you turtles? Why are you so late?" the Mushroom God said disdainfully.

Commander Zhang immediately explained, his attitude sincere: "I'm sorry, our men have run out of medicine and have had some rest."

Mushroom God is someone who's sharp-tongued but soft-hearted; if you say something nice to him, he won't get angry.

As expected, Mushroom God didn't say anything else after saying that.

"Mushroom God, you've lost your mind. You actually found a bunch of people below level 50 to help you. You've really fallen from grace," the shadowy figure opposite him mocked.

"Heh, better than you, right? Your subordinates were all taken care of by these guys who aren't even level 50. You're all alone and still laughing like this. I admire your mentality." Mushroom God never minced words, and when he saw that Dark God dared to mock him, he immediately retorted.

"What? How could this be?" The shadowy figure then realized that apart from these low-level humans, no one else had come, and its connection to its servants had also disappeared, which proved that the people were dead.

The other priests are on missions far away and cannot come to his aid, so he is indeed the only one left.

"Very well, very well then, you will all die here. Today I will eliminate you all, and then no one will be able to stop me." The voice of the Dark God was elusive and extremely majestic. Just hearing it exerted great pressure, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

Mushroom God sneered, "Stop talking big. You think a clone can kill the real me? Old Black Egg, you've lived too long, your brain's rusted."

"Hmph, even if it's an avatar, it's still a higher level than you." The Dark God sneered, casually unleashing a skill to attack the group of players, but the Mushroom God raised his hand to block the attack.

"Old Black Egg, you're getting more and more shameless. You actually killed these low-level humans who aren't even level 50. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Shut your mouth, Mushroom God. Don't you know how many people you've offended with that mouth?" The Dark God was annoyed by this mockery.

"Sigh, you're getting impatient, you're getting impatient~" This was a line that the domineering CEO learned from Xu Jiawei, and after saying it, the mocking effect was doubled.

Seeing the immense power of the Dark God's casual attack, Commander Zhang realized that they would have been wiped out if the Mushroom God hadn't blocked it. He quickly adjusted his tactics: "All players, divide into groups of 10 and spread out."

The players were very disciplined and quickly formed small teams, but some of the stronger players still fought alone.

"Where is my successor? Come and help me." The Mushroom God searched everywhere for Xu Jiawei.

Hsu Chia-wei: ...So high-profile?

She quickly moved closer to the Mushroom God and soon came to within about 10 meters of it.

"Woman, just harass him and don't give him a chance to unleash his skills." Seeing Xu Jiawei approach, the domineering CEO was very satisfied. She truly lived up to her reputation as his successor.

Xu Jiawei: You really think highly of her; she's only level 60 now.

However, since she had been given a task, she was determined to complete it well, even if the pressure was immense.

Xu Jiawei released the Light Spores first, followed by Photon Meteors attacking the Dark God's clone.

The God of Darkness easily dodged, then continued to taunt: "Mushroom God, you, the successor, actually have the aura of the God of Light. Were you intercepted by the God of Light? Hahaha." Xu Jiawei's attack had no effect.

"Isn't this proof of my successor's excellence? It just so happens that you, a rat hiding in the gutter, are the very thing you hate most—the aura of light. Are you out of your mind? How can you still laugh like that?"

The Dark God realized that he had never gained the upper hand over the Mushroom God verbally, so he simply shut his mouth and remained silent.

But the God of Darkness remained silent, and the Mushroom God wasn't about to let him off easily. "Why aren't you saying anything? What are you pretending to be so profound about? Have you become mute?"

"Shut up!"

"Oh, so you try to shut up when you can't win an argument? Well, I'm not going to shut up. I'll make you, you shameless piece of trash, furious."

Xu Jiawei: ...Ah, is it really okay to attract so much hatred? Didn't you see that black smoke is starting to come out of this clone's head? It looks furious.

However, she didn't want to become a punching bag, so she kept her distance from the Mushroom God. After all, she was the successor of the Mushroom God, and if she couldn't deal with the Mushroom God, the Dark God shouldn't kill her just to vent his anger.

She took another step back, hoping to avoid drawing the conflict to herself.

The Mushroom God also realized that Xu Jiawei's attacks were ineffective, so he said, "Woman, there is a special ability between gods and their successors that is unknown to others."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei was taken aback. Was this why the Mushroom God had summoned her? Then, she asked with some curiosity, "What kind of ability is it?"

"This ability is called Divine Descent. It can enhance the strength of both of us. It is a unique skill between a god and his successor." He left in a hurry just now and actually left Xu Jiawei there. If Xu Jiawei had arrived, he might not have had such a difficult fight just now.

"You even know this? It seems that living a long life does have its advantages." The Dark God was surprised that the Mushroom God knew about this skill, which had been lost during the time of the gods.

"Even so, do you think the two of you can be a match for me?"

"Heh, old black egg, you haven't forgotten, have you? My successor is of the Light attribute." The Mushroom God taunted as he attacked.

No one can shut him up.

Upon hearing the Mushroom God's words, Xu Jiawei immediately asked, "What should I do?"

"Communicate with my magic," said the Mushroom God.

"Hmph, you think this skill is so easy to learn? Do you think she can master it in such a short time? I'll take care of you before she does."

"Old Black Egg, stop talking big." After Mushroom God finished speaking, he looked at Xu Jiawei: "You need to figure this out yourself. Until then, I'll buy you some time."

Xu Jiawei was completely baffled. What was this "communication magic" thing? Did it mean she had to absorb the magic released by the Mushroom God into her own body and comprehend it? Xu Jiawei couldn't understand the riddle-maker's words.

"Everyone, buy some time and protect the mushrooms." Commander Zhang heard the Mushroom God's words and prepared to buy time for Xu Jiawei.

Si Yunming came to Xu Jiawei's side: "Don't worry, even if it takes you a few days to comprehend it, we will definitely stall for time."

Xu Jiawei instantly felt immense pressure; this was her mission.

Besides Xu Jiawei, Si Yunming was the highest-level player. He quickly joined the battle and, with his talent, inflicted considerable damage on the Dark God's clone.

This naturally caught the attention of the Mushroom God, who mocked, "Old Black Egg, even people with the dark attribute are against you, how dare you mock my successor for being of the light attribute? As expected, you have a bad character, no one follows you."
