Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Their potions can fetch exorbitant prices; even hundreds of materials can't buy a single bottle.

"No need." Si Yunming turned his face away and found another place to sit down.

Well, this person is as sparing with words as ever.

"Take them, I made them all myself." Seeing that the two were refusing, Xu Jiawei forcefully stuffed them into their hands.

"Little Jiawei, you're actually a pharmacist? That's amazing! And you're so cute, totally my type. I'll take two bottles, you can keep the rest." Bai Yu's hands were itching to hug her.

"Don't refuse anymore. The medicine isn't expensive for us, it's very cheap." Seeing that the two still didn't want to accept it, Xu Jiawei immediately winked at Zhang Yunting.

Upon receiving the signal, Zhang Yunting immediately said, "Xiao Xu is right. Only Xiao Xu sells our medicine, and it's very cheap."

After chatting for a few minutes, before they could even collect the backpacks scattered on the ground, seeing that everyone was resting, Xu Jiawei gathered the backpacks together and distributed the ones dropped during the murder to everyone.

Whoever killed him gets to keep him, and Li Ming and Zhang Yunting obediently accepted the money.

However, Bai Yu and Si Yunming did not accept the backpack, implying that they had already received the potion and could not accept it.

Seeing that the two were still declining, Xu Jiawei said, "Brothers and sisters, please accept it. If you're too embarrassed, then we can talk about cooperation."

"What kind of cooperation?" Si Yunming looked up at Xu Jiawei.

"Since the system suggests forming a team, it means the monsters inside are very strong, so should we cooperate?" Xu Jiawei asked.

Bai Yu was unaware of the details; all she knew was that Si Yunming, the top-ranked player, was selling team slots.

Bai Yu had to buy a spot from "[Burn You with Money]" after he spent all the supplies to book the entire venue. When "[Burn You with Money]" saw that Bai Yu was ranked second, he immediately agreed, offering to use the spot to protect him in exchange for some supplies after they returned.

However, this fat pig really annoyed her. Not only was he a hindrance, but he also kept provoking things he shouldn't have. After Bai Yu and Si Yunming finished dealing with the situation, this fat pig had this "it's only right" look on his face, "I provided the supplies and hired you guys, so you do whatever I tell you to do." He didn't even say thank you.

Bai Yu only just learned that the system suggested forming a team.

"Well, I didn't expect you to be so cunning." Bai Yu patted Si Yunming on the shoulder. If he had revealed the information, maybe this fat pig wouldn't have come, and he wouldn't have had to put up with this.

"He did it voluntarily," Si Yunming replied coldly.

"Sigh, if you had told me beforehand, I might have asked for a price increase." Bai Yu said with a half-smile.

"What did you say? Damn it, it's this dangerous! I spent so much on supplies, you guys have to protect me!" [I'll bury you in money] exploded after secretly eavesdropping on their conversation.

"I told you, it's dangerous, life and death are in the hands of fate." Si Yunming stood up and looked at [I'll bury you in money].

[I'll bury you in money] took a step back in fright, then realized what he meant and became furious: "I'm Dong Long, the chairman of Su Zhong Group. How dare you talk to me like that? Who knew your danger referred to the system?"

"If you take my supplies, you must guarantee my safety!" Dong Long ordered.

"Don't worry, we'll take you back, you dead pig. As long as you don't mess around and it's not dangerous for you to go anywhere, whether it's landing on an island or entering a dungeon, it's your own choice to come here." Bai Yu's voice was somewhat sarcastic.

"What are you saying, you stinking woman! I'm the boss because I'm in charge of the supplies. No matter how dangerous it is, you have to protect me." Dong Long tried to step forward but was kicked away by Bai Yu.

Seeing how upset the two looked, Xu Jiawei decided that no matter how poor she became, she would never sell her spot again.

He walked up to Si Yunming and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Next time you sell spots, you should do a screening."

During their break, Dong Long continued to ramble on: "Hey woman, I see you're pretty skilled. How about you become my concubine? My talent is double the resources, so you'll never lack supplies."

Xu Jiawei sneered: "If you don't want to end up like those people, shut your mouth."

Dong Long shuddered at the thought of what would happen to those burly men. "Hmph, they don't know what's good for them. There are plenty of people who want to follow me but don't even have the chance."

Xu Jiawei began to organize the backpack she had received.

"Tsk, double-crossing is really profitable." These two groups have robbed countless people and have abundant supplies. Having just upgraded her ship, the impoverished Xu Jiawei is very satisfied.

Around midnight, several more groups of people arrived. Like Xu Jiawei before them, they touched the protective shield and then hid in a corner at a distance.

[Ding! Countdown over. Congratulations to the 890 players who have entered the central area. Players can choose to enter the main hall or leave the instance. Players who leave will receive 1 Silver Treasure Chest and 3 Attribute Fruits. Players who choose to enter are responsible for their own actions—whether they choose to pull back from the brink or go all in. (The system has fulfilled its duty to remind you; don't blame me if you die.)]

"So many players?" Xu Jiawei glanced at the crowd and saw only two or three hundred. She guessed the rest of the players were in other directions, since the main hall was quite large.

Xu Jiawei and the other two naturally wanted to go in, but at this moment Bai Yu said to Dong Long, "I say you should leave quickly, you've already made a profit with a silver treasure chest and three attribute fruits."

Xu Jiawei also felt that the system was quite generous, even though the reward was so high just for entering the central area and leaving.

Dong Long stared at the main hall with fanatical eyes: "What do you know, you short-sighted woman? The rewards for coming to the central area are so high. Forget about entering the main hall, you can gamble and win big."

Bai Yu's tone was very unpleasant. Who would be in a good mood with a burden like this? "You really have no self-awareness at all. I'm afraid you'll have the life to take it but not the life to spend it. Let me make this clear: I won't help you if things get dangerous."

Si Yunming also spoke up: "I suggest you leave; it's very dangerous."

Dong Long's face twisted in pain: "You! You... If anything happens to me, you won't get a single thing. I'm warning you, protect me."

Seeing that Dong Long was determined to die, the others stopped trying to persuade him.

The group went inside. Dong Long was filled with excitement and madness. After they had all made their choices, the protective shield behind them suddenly rose up.

Everyone quickly turned around to check, and sure enough, they couldn't get out.

[Ding! Congratulations to 870 players who chose to enter. The mission is now issued: First stage, enter the central tower. (You didn't cherish the opportunity I gave you; I hope you're still alive next time we meet.)]

Xu Jiawei could only see the spire in the distance; she couldn't make out any of the buildings in the distance.

"Let's go," Xu Jiawei said, and walked forward.

The surrounding architecture was very unique, unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, which surprised them. However, even the most beautiful scenery would become boring if it were repeated too often. The pillars remained unchanged, and even the distance between them didn't change. Xu Jiawei walked for a long time before finally stopping.

"Why do I feel like we've been walking for ages and we're still stuck in the same place?" Xu Jiawei squinted, the distance between them and the tower seemed to have never changed.
