Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

So she clicked the refresh button, and a pop-up window immediately appeared.

[Ding, system notification: The God of Agriculture is right beside you. Are you sure you want to refresh? (Don't blame me for not warning you.)]

Xu Jiawei ignored the system's warning and clicked "OK".

[Ding, refreshing requires 10 gold coins. Continue?]

Xu Jiawei paused for a moment. She didn't believe that her luck would be good enough to refresh the page and get what she wanted in just a few tries, so she directly chose to make a wish.

He even read it aloud: "I hope that refreshing the quest will bring me the blessing of the Mushroom God."

Mushroom God scoffed arrogantly, "You've got good taste, woman. This old geezer is practically dead himself; he's nowhere near as capable as me."

"You damn mushroom, will it kill you to shut your mouth?!" The God of Agriculture wanted to strangle him to death. If he wasn't outmatched right now, they would have had to fight.

However, the god of agriculture also understands that if he releases the blessing again, he will die completely, so he can hold on for a while longer.

With the Mushroom God's power to prolong his life, he might be able to last a long time, but he didn't intend to do so; he had lived for so long that he should have died long ago.

Xu Jiawei then saw that her wish had failed.

Xu Jiawei: ......

Since she couldn't make a wish, she decided to just start grinding. In the end, Xu Jiawei spent two whole hours grinding, spending 100,000 gold coins, until midnight, before she finally got the task she wanted.

When she finally saw that she had received the blessing of the Mushroom God, Xu Jiawei almost thought she was seeing things. She rubbed her eyes and almost clicked refresh again.

The Mushroom God continued arguing with the God of Agriculture, but did not urge Xu Jiawei to leave.

After the refresh was complete, Xu Jiawei respectfully looked at the Mushroom God: "Dear Mushroom God, could you please cast a blessing on my pet beast?"

The Mushroom God snorted again: "Seeing that you are somewhat sincere, I will grant your unreasonable request."

"Hmph, pretending. You're clearly very happy. You're just putting on an act." The God of Agriculture mocked from the side.

"You want to die, huh? I'll make you die early right now!" Mushroom God seemed to have been exposed and was somewhat embarrassed and angry, grabbing the God of Agriculture by the neck and shaking him.

The blessing was completed quickly, and the red earthworm's body was gradually enveloped in rainbow-colored light, its branches becoming much thicker and stronger than before.

Xu Jiawei was taken aback. Could the Mushroom God's blessing be to make up for her weaknesses? After all, the Mushroom God had strong survival abilities, so being blessed by the Mushroom God wouldn't mean she would gain more strength, would it?

Xu Jiawei immediately opened the Red Earthworm's panel. After all, it had just reached level 60, so she had only glanced at it and hadn't looked at it carefully. Now that it had broken through again, she wondered what level the Red Earthworm had reached.

Name: Red Earthworm

Species: Parasitic vine, ice

Level: 66 (Level cap is 70; players can explore ways to exceed the cap themselves)

Growth Potential: SS

Talent/Ability: S

Blood volume: 19500

Power: 3710

Defense: 1940

Physical fitness: 1720

Speed: 3740

Skill: Ultimate Parasite: Quickly scatters seeds in the air, which can sprout and parasitize within the enemy's body, tightly binding and controlling them.

Ultimate Vampirism: Absorbs the blood of multiple enemies to quickly restore oneself.

Ultimate Entanglement Control: Gain a body of steel, entangle your opponent, making it impossible for them to break free. You can also divide your body into 10 segments to entangle multiple targets.

Ultimate Ice Paralysis: After attacking an opponent, ice crystals appear on the enemy's surface, restricting their movement, paralyzing them, and reducing their speed. This effect is guaranteed to trigger.

Advanced Poisoning: The body is inflicted with toxins. Use advanced spikes to break through the opponent's defenses and inject the toxins into the enemy's body.

Ultimate Stun Control: After entangling the opponent, each attack has a 40% chance to cause a 3-second stun.

Advanced stealth: Makes yourself transparent, reducing your presence. While transparent, your speed increases by 40%.

Defense Enhancement: Gain one stack of defense boost for each instance of damage taken, up to a maximum of 20% increase in defense.

Intimacy: 100

(Comment: This is a traitor. As long as its owner doesn't betray it, it won't betray its owner. Please don't anger it.)

As expected, the newly added skill is defense-related. Xu Jiawei thinks it's not bad. After all, the red earthworm's strength, speed, and even control ability are sufficient. It's just that its body is too fragile. Having an additional defensive ability will give the red earthworm an extra guarantee for survival.

After breaking through twice, her other skills also improved significantly. Xu Jiawei looked at them one by one, and the most significant improvement was in the two control skills, which were significantly enhanced, and even her escape skills were significantly improved.

Advanced stealth not only reduces one's own presence but also increases speed by nearly 1500. Isn't this the perfect escape tool?

If a red earthworm wants to run away, no one can stop it unless they are a god-level being.

After the red earthworm completed its breakthrough, Xu Jiawei instantly felt much better. Although it wasn't her ability that improved, the red earthworm's improved ability was a way of indirectly increasing her combat power.

"It's about time we left. We still have to go to the Temple of the Fire God. Old man, you just stay here. I'll come back to laugh at you again when I have time," said the Mushroom God.

At this moment, the God of Agriculture remained silent. Normally, he would have been furious, but now he simply smiled and shook his head.

"I've lived too long. Rather than just lingering on like this, I'd rather make some contributions."

The Mushroom God seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything and finally chose to remain silent.

The God of Agriculture looked at Xu Jiawei: "Little girl, in the end, I would like to bestow a blessing upon you."

Unexpectedly, the God of Agriculture had already intended to die. Xu Jiawei looked at the Mushroom God and, seeing that the Mushroom God remained silent, immediately spoke up: "Respected God of Agriculture, I cannot agree. You are the Mushroom God's good friend, and the Mushroom God is my important companion. If you do this, the Mushroom God will be very sad. Why don't you leave with us? I will definitely find a way to save you."

The God of Agriculture shook his head: "I am just an avatar. I should have died a long time ago. I am already very satisfied to be alive until now and to see you all again. And the Mushroom God will understand me."

Seeing the God of Agriculture's devoted expression, Xu Jiawei became anxious; she couldn't persuade him otherwise.

So he looked at the Mushroom God, wanting him to say something, but the Mushroom God couldn't say anything, because for him, living was not a good thing. Not only were all his companions dead, but now he had to face the Dark God alone. He really didn't have the courage to ask the God of Agriculture to go through all this with him.

"But Mushroom God only has you as a friend now, and having more combat power means we have more protection when facing Dark God," Xu Jiawei could only continue to persuade.

The god of agriculture shook his head again. "I cannot leave here, and I am dying. I am of no help to you."

"Who said that? Your experience in crop cultivation can help us, doesn't that count?" As for the issue of not being able to leave, Xu Jiawei looked at the Mushroom God and asked, "Dear Mushroom God, can you take the God of Agriculture with you?"

This time, the Mushroom God finally reacted, saying, "Yes." Then, looking at the God of Agriculture, he said, "Stay. If you die, who will I laugh at?"
