Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Akagi: Xiao Xu, are you free now? Can I ask about the situation on that top-tier island?]

Zhang Yunting had wanted to ask for a long time, but Li Ming sent a message in the group and Xu Jiawei didn't reply, so he knew Xu Jiawei was busy and didn't bother her.

But this news was very important to them, so he had to ask.

Xu Jiawei also knew the importance of this message. If she shared it, it could save many lives and give people a psychological preparation.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Alright, I'll get straight to the point. The purification process will take three hours. There are three teleportation arrays during this time. The mutated creatures and priests all came out of these arrays, and even figures of the same rank as the archbishop have arrived. Even after the purification is complete, these creatures will still exist and must be dealt with.]

[Akagi: Aren't all the archbishops dead? How come there are new bishops?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: They are not bishops, but great divine messengers. Their level is similar to that of bishops, but their strength is slightly greater.]

[Akagi: Are you alright? Are you hurt?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It's alright, I can handle it. But you need to be careful of the Dark God's trap; that's the hardest to deal with. Once you enter, you're almost guaranteed to die.]

What Xu Jiawei didn't say was that for her, it was a near-death experience, but for them, it was a certain death.

[Akagi: We understand. We won't go to dangerous places.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: The Dark God's traps won't be in dangerous places; always be vigilant.]

Although the probability of them encountering a Dark God's trap is extremely low, it cannot be ruled out that it is zero.

【...You've come to a new island? Where is it? I'm coming to find you.】

[Rain Falling: No, this sentence contains a lot of information. You two are on the same island? How did you know? Or how did you do that?]

Bai Yu didn't know how to ask anymore.

[...I had the system teleport me to her next island.]

[Rain Falling: You can do that? I want to try it next time.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Let's not do that, it's too dangerous here.]

She then immediately chatted privately with Si Yunming.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Where are you? I'll come find you. Do you have a place to stay?]

[...in the rainforest.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: ??? Dude, are we sure we're in the same place? I'm at a volcano.]

【...：....】

Si Yunming was teleported to a rainforest, where did the volcano come from?

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but ask the system, "System, am I on the same island as Si Yunming? You're not playing a trick on him, are you?"

[Ding! The system never lies; you are indeed on the same island.]

Since the system said it was on the same island, it meant it was a different landscape. Perhaps the island wasn't as small as she imagined, and she had just been teleported to the edge of the island.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Three O'Clock Bro, the island might be huge, so let's just meet at the source of pollution; we'll arrive at the same destination by different paths.]

They share the same goal and will meet again.

【...:good】

Just after ending her chat with Si Yunming, Xu Jiawei's attention was drawn to a system announcement.

[Ding! Congratulations to player Lin's Group for purifying a primary source of pollution. Well done!]

Huh, this guy actually purified a source of pollution, but that's too slow. It's still a primary source of pollution. I don't know where he got the courage to provoke her.

Lin Wenshi stood panting inside the cave. For some reason, this time it was very simple. He prepared himself and came to the source of pollution again, only to find that only one of the original priests remained. Even Lin Huajing was nowhere to be found.

There were hardly any mutated creatures, making the purification of the entire pollution source much easier.

Lin Wenshi thought that the previous situation was just more difficult, and that the current situation was the normal difficulty. It seemed that purifying the pollution source was not so difficult after all. Lin Wenshi smiled, but before his smile could fully open, he heard the system message, which made his mood plummet.

[Ding! Thank you to player AAA Mushroom Fairy for your assistance with this purification. Half of the rewards for this purification will be equally distributed to player AAA Mushroom Fairy.]

Lin Wenshi's face turned ashen, and he couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately asked, "System, what's going on? Is there a mistake? Xu Jiawei is at another source of pollution, so why is she providing me with assistance?"

[Ding! Player AAA Mushroom Fairy, during the purification of the top-tier pollution source, attracted mutated creatures from various islands, disrupting the priests' actions and reducing the difficulty of the player's purification.]

In fact, Xu Jiawei deserves 70% of the credit for the purification here. According to the system's rules, Xu Jiawei should be number one on the leaderboard, but she didn't come here. Distributing the resources this way would make the hardworking players feel it's unfair, so it's being divided equally now.

"This is impossible! I'm clearly number one on the leaderboard; all the rewards should belong to me!"

[Ding! Due to player dissatisfaction, the system will now display a contribution ranking.]

When Lin Wenshi saw that Xu Jiawei firmly occupied the top spot on the contribution list, even contributing 72%, he was completely discouraged.

Why is he so different from Xu Jiawei? What's even more infuriating is that some people are actually mocking him.

Even if he's not third on the list, he's still fourth. Who gave them the right to mock him?

[Caveman: Isn't it supposed to be this difficult to eliminate a primary source of pollution? Why did it take someone so long to purify it?]

[Lin Group: Heh, who do you think you are? I'm the fourth company to solve the pollution problem, what right do you have to talk to me like that?]

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Caveman" for purifying a primary source of pollution. Well done!]

[Caveman: @AAAMushroomFairy, thanks for your help! I soloed this pollution source all by myself. Everyone should hurry and farm the pollution source now. After you attracted all the priests and demonic creatures away, the difficulty dropped significantly.]

[The lucky one is here: Really? I just found a source of pollution. I was planning to prepare before going, but my sister is amazing!]

After saying that, Li Ming hurriedly led his family to clean up the pollution source. When he dealt with one priest and purified the entire pollution source, he was still a little incredulous.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Lucky One" for purifying a primary source of pollution. Well done!]

[Ding! Congratulations to player Phoenix for purifying a primary source of pollution. Well done!]

[Phoenix: My god, it's really true! Just taking down a priest? Even I, a nobody ranked outside the top 100, could solo it. @Lin's Group, what are you pretending to be, some big shot? You were just lucky; you were the fourth to be taken down because the big shots were dealing with the top-tier natural disaster and attracting all the demonized creatures away.]

[Lin's Group: I encountered a slight accident at the beginning, otherwise it would have been resolved long ago, and Xu Jiawei wouldn't have been eligible for the reward.]

[Phoenix: My god, the boss reduced the danger so much, and yet he still shamelessly repays kindness with enmity.]

[Lin Group: She didn't even come, yet she received half the reward. Is that reasonable?]

[Phoenix: LOL. Under normal circumstances, the source of pollution would require 3 priests and 20 mutated creatures. With your strength, which isn't even ranked 100th on the combat power list, you think you can take it down by yourself?]
