Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Seeing the side effects, Xu Jiawei was like a gambler who had lost a bet; it would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed.

If the rest of the world knew, they'd probably beat her to death.

With no upper limit on attributes, what are minor side effects to these level 89 monsters? Even if their level is low, as long as they accumulate enough attribute points, wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming a god?

Their problem is that their attributes have reached their limit again, and they have to spend a lot of time finding various treasures to break through the limit. They would rather give up the illusory hope of becoming a god in exchange for unlimited attributes.

However, lifespan cannot be increased with level breakthroughs, but for those whose attributes have already reached their limit, it doesn't have much of an impact, since they are already stuck at level 89, so whether their lifespan increases or not makes no difference.

However, this benefit is not very useful to Xu Jiawei, because she has something that increases the upper limit. The unlimited attribute limit is dispensable to her, but the side effect is quite significant.

On the bright side, the fact that condensing a divine spark has become more difficult proves that the divine spark she is trying to condense is different from the divine sparks of the gods before her. Although it is more complex, it may also be more powerful.

Xu Jiawei could only console herself with this thought: she was still a long way from condensing a divine spark, so she shouldn't think about it for now.

She then looked at the new title, which temporarily adds 5 points of luck when in danger. It was better than nothing, and it provided a little psychological comfort to her unfortunate life of being hunted by the Dark God.

This title isn't very useful, since not every title is useful.

Scrolling down further, she saw a new skill: Fortune and Misfortune Conversion. Xu Jiawei opened the skill description.

[Fortune and Misfortune Reversal: Passive Skill. When the player is in dire straits, it greatly increases the player's luck, providing a glimmer of hope. After the luck ends, the bad luck will rebound doubly. (A very powerful skill if used well.)]

Xu Jiawei stroked her chin, pondering. Was this skill automatically triggered when the player was in dire straits? What constituted being in dire straits? Was it when one was about to die, or when there was no way to find a way to survive?

In short, this skill still needs to be tested. As for the effect of doubling bad luck after luck, if she still can't find a way out while under the blessing of luck, then when luck ends, it will be a complete death sentence for her.

This skill is more like a double-edged sword, just like this racial mutation and evolution. The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. It's probably the effect of drinking the corrupted Fountain of Life. Xu Jiawei made up her mind to wait until she obtains the Fountain of Life again and drink it again to slightly reduce the side effects.

This breakthrough significantly boosted her attributes, increasing them by more than half. Moreover, the strange feeling of power that didn't belong to her completely disappeared. Now, she could release skills very smoothly, and Xu Jiawei was very satisfied.

Given Xu Jiawei's current situation, the benefits of this breakthrough outweigh the drawbacks; all that's needed now is to find ways to eliminate the negative impacts.

Xu Jiawei's level has now surpassed Rainbow's. At the beginning, Rainbow's level was far ahead, but now it has been dragged down by the level cap and stopped leveling up, and her level has been surpassed.

It seems that leveling up quickly isn't always a good thing. Take her for example; although she leveled up quickly, she was punished by the Fountain of Life. If she hadn't been lucky, she might have been stuck at level 70 forever.

Without thinking further, Xu Jiawei flew into the sky, intending to check if the flames had been extinguished. However, seeing the thick smoke drifting in the sky, she felt her hope was fading. Even if the fire had subsided, the smoke would still prevent her from moving freely.

As she flew into the sky, she saw that the fire was gradually subsiding, but the thick smoke made it impossible for her to see her surroundings. If she forced her way in, she might suffocate.

Is she destined to stay on this beach?

Xu Jiawei was somewhat depressed.

[Ding! Please complete the mission of spreading the word. The mission has not been completed for 5 days. Please do not slack off.]

Xu Jiawei was taken aback, then slapped her forehead, realizing she had forgotten about this mission. It wouldn't hurt to take a trip to other islands now; by the time she returned, the fire might be over.

"System, teleport me." After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, a teleportation channel appeared in front of her.

Wang Ping was somewhat stunned. He was still fighting the mutated creatures when suddenly the teacher who was supposed to be preaching was about to arrive. He was attacked by mutated creatures as soon as he entered through the portal. Wouldn't the teacher be angry? Wouldn't he raise the price?

Wang Ping smiled wryly, but he was about to be killed by the mutated creatures, so he couldn't care less about that now.

After Xu Jiawei came out of the teleportation portal, she saw a dark shadow rushing towards her. She frowned and wondered, "What is that?"

Xu Jiawei subconsciously used Photon Meteor, and the dark shadow was burned to ashes by the pale golden flames before it could pounce.

Wang Ping stared in disbelief. What was this?

How can anyone be this strong? These masters are not only professional masters, but their combat power is also this great?

It wasn't until the system alerted him that Wang Ping came to his senses and saw the newcomer's face clearly. The newcomer was very young, good-looking, and had strong combat power. He was also a level nine master. Wang Ping was very envious and wanted to fight against these talented people.

[Ding! Congratulations! AAA Mushroom Master has arrived at your location. You can choose to pay with the supplies on the ship.]

Wait, who's coming?

Is this the unspeakable big shot?

Her appearance was completely different from what he had imagined. In Wang Ping's mind, a big boss should be a woman who was 1.8 meters tall, had eight-pack abs, and was as strong as an ox. But Xu Jiawei's appearance was, well, pretty, but she didn't have the aura of a big boss at all.

But after thinking about it, Wang Ping realized that this was the essence of "the great man hides in plain sight," avoiding revealing his status as a big shot to reduce unnecessary trouble. This must be the tactics of a big shot, and Wang Ping immediately understood.

Xu Jiawei looked at the dazed person in front of her and felt somewhat helpless. Why did everyone stare blankly when they saw her?

Does she look that strange?

She's actually quite pretty, isn't she? "Are you alright?" Xu Jiawei asked.

Xu Jiawei spoke, and Wang Ping finally came to his senses. He smiled apologetically, scratched his head, and said, "I'm fine. I just didn't expect the top-ranked person to look like this. It's completely different from what I imagined."

Xu Jiawei asked curiously, "What do you imagine I'll look like?"

"He should be handsome, 1.8 meters tall, with eight-pack abs, and look like he could kill me with one punch," Wang Ping said.

Xu Jiawei's lips twitched: "I could kill you with one punch right now."

"No, no, no, boss, I was wrong, please forgive me." Wang Ping immediately begged for mercy.

Did Xu Jiawei never expect that she would be seen this way in everyone's eyes?

That's not bad, though. Everyone thinks she's handsome, so her current appearance can help her hide it, right?

My appearance is very deceptive; anyone who looks at me would think I have no fighting ability.

"Do you want to learn magic or potions?" Xu Jiawei asked. Wang Ping's talent for magic and potions was about the same, so it didn't matter which one he learned; it mainly depended on his own choice.

Wang Ping was torn: learning potion-making could increase his stamina, while learning magic could enhance his combat power.
