Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

It seems these traps are meant to protect against the Mushroom God. What exactly did the Mushroom God do to make the God of Agriculture so wary?

Xu Jiawei dared not speak, only to hear Mushroom God complain, "I only took some things from him, why are you so stingy? Now look what's happened, he's been dead for so many years, everything inside is mine now."

Then Mushroom God fell silent again, as if he would fall silent after talking for a while.

Xu Jiawei didn't dare to speak; she could sense that Mushroom God was extremely sad and heartbroken.

After all, all his former comrades-in-arms had died, and he was the only one who survived. Moreover, the thing that everyone had fought so hard for and sacrificed their lives to seal was about to come back to life when he finally woke up. Just thinking about it made Xu Jiawei feel like the sky was falling.

It would be better to just fall asleep and die.

Although Mushroom God has a funny face, his inner self is actually quite heavy.

"Woman, it's strange that you're not saying anything," the Mushroom God spoke first.

"I'm just listening to you." Xu Jiawei touched her nose.

"Hmph, once we're inside, we'll ransack his place, leaving nothing behind. Even in death, he won't rest in peace; he'll only cause me more trouble," the Mushroom God said.

Xu Jiawei didn't dare to speak anymore. She didn't know if Mushroom God was just saying it out of anger or what. Finally, the two of them reached the end, and the awkward atmosphere was broken.

At the end of the main hall was a wall, and there was nothing else. Xu Jiawei knocked on it; it was solid.

But there's nothing here except walls. Why did the Mushroom God bring her here?

Mushroom God ignored Xu Jiawei and punched the wall.

The wall, which had existed for an unknown number of years, collapsed with a loud crash, unable to withstand the weight. Xu Jiawei stared in shock at what she saw before her. She had never expected that there was a secret chamber behind the wall. Moreover, the wall was about two meters thick, almost like a huge rock. No wonder she couldn't hear any sound.

Xu Jiawei walked in, and suddenly a cool breeze swept over her, lifting a strand of her hair.

However, the cool breeze wasn't aimed at her. In just a moment, it passed by her and rushed towards the Mushroom God. The Mushroom God slapped the cool breeze away, and a cry of "Ouch!" was heard.

Xu Jiawei turned her head and saw a semi-transparent old man lying on the ground, but the old man's body was almost shattered by the impact.

"You really are alive! After all these years, you still come to my house to steal things. Have you no shame?" the old man cursed angrily, struggling for a long time but unable to stand up.

"Since you're about to disappear anyway, you might as well leave it to me," the Mushroom God said, though his voice carried a hint of pleasure.

He immediately used his divine power to solidify the old man's body, and now the old man was more solid than before.

The old man was silent for a while, then asked, "How is it outside?" No one had come here for a long time, but he couldn't get out and could only be trapped here watching his temple decay.

The remaining clone is about to disappear as well. If it weren't for the Mushroom God's intervention, it might have vanished completely without anyone knowing.

"That thing is about to come out. I'm here to collect your inheritance," the Mushroom God said without any mercy.

"Fine, I can't use it anymore anyway, so take them all. This is your successor, isn't it? I'm actually a little jealous." The God of Agriculture felt a little sour. His successor had lost his life in that great battle, and he himself had also lost his life, leaving only this clone.

Too many gods died at that time, so Xu Jiawei did not see the God of Agriculture, but the God of Agriculture saw her.

He looked at Xu Jiawei and asked, "Have you planted the seed that the God of Light gave you?" After all, the God of Fate had previously prophesied that they had placed everything on Xu Jiawei's inevitable path, but they didn't know that the system had taken their things and disguised them as rewards, sending them to Xu Jiawei.

"We have placed the sacred soil and nutrient solution on your path. Have you found them?" the God of Agriculture continued.

Xu Jiawei's smile froze. She didn't know about the nutrient solution, but she had found the divine soil in that ridiculously expensive box. The God of Agriculture said the items were originally meant for her, so the system took what the gods had given her, repackaged it as a commodity, and resold it to her?

Xu Jiawei wanted to confront the system immediately, but she held back and said, "Respected God of Agriculture, I have obtained the divine soil, but I don't know how to plant it."

The God of Agriculture was somewhat surprised: "That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't the planting methods be combined with the sacred soil?"

Xu Jiawei wanted to laugh. That damned system not only took the items away, but also disassembled them. How could it be so despicable?

"I got it from opening a chest," Xu Jiawei said through gritted teeth.

Mushroom God had a thoughtful expression on his face. Everything here had been taken over by the system, and their layout had been changed. He wondered what this foreign survival system was thinking.

"Listen carefully, the seed needs to be watered with magic every day until it sprouts. After it sprouts, water it with nutrient solution once every afternoon at four o'clock, and cover it with sunlight for 10 hours every day..."

The God of Agriculture spoke eloquently, and Xu Jiawei wrote down his points one by one in her notebook.

The record was complete. By this time, the Mushroom God had already opened the inner chamber of the secret room. The God of Agriculture, angrily blowing his beard and glaring, exclaimed, "How did you know I put things here?!"

"I know what kind of person you are." Mushroom God sneered, then threw a green bottle containing a glowing object to Xu Jiawei.

"Here, these are what you need." With that, the Mushroom God put everything else into his pocket.

"Stop! Stop! How can you steal like this?" The God of Agriculture was furious.

Xu Jiawei took the bottle that looked like medicine, and a system notification sounded in her mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Wood Spirit Essence.]

This is the essence of wood spirit? You obtained it so easily? She thought it would take a long time to find it.

Xu Jiawei dared not delay any longer. Once the red earthworm leveled up, perhaps her body would be able to hold the excess energy and wake up soon.

She took the red earthworm out of the pet's back, searched for a while, found the red earthworm's mouth, and fed it the essence of wood spirit.

Soon, the red earthworm emitted a shimmering green light and floated in the air.

Two minutes later, as the light faded, the red earthworm seemed to burp, then swayed groggily, even conveying its emotions to Xu Jiawei: "So full, so full."

I didn't expect to wake up right after the upgrade, and I'm still feeling a bit weak.

Xu Jiawei looked at the Red Earthworm's panel and was shocked to find that the Red Earthworm had reached its level cap again. Could it be that some of the potion energy had been converted into experience?

However, the red earthworm needs the blessing of a god to break through again. Xu Jiawei checked and found that the god who needed the blessing was the god of agriculture right in front of her.

However, Xu Jiawei would never allow the God of Agriculture to bless her. Si Yunming had told her before that the God of Light's avatar had disappeared after giving him the blessing. This was an acquaintance of the Mushroom God, and Xu Jiawei absolutely could not let him just disappear like that.

Xu Jiawei knew that as long as she asked, the God of Agriculture would definitely agree to her request, but she didn't want to do so.
