Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

He wanted to learn both how to increase his combat power and his endurance; he didn't want to give up either.

"Master, can I learn all of them?" Wang Ping asked.

After thinking for a while, Xu Jiawei offered some sound advice: "Neither of your two talents is particularly good. If you try to learn both, you'll only scratch the surface and end up with nothing. I suggest you focus on learning only one."

"Besides, my tuition is very expensive; you might not be able to afford to learn two things."

After listening to Xu Jiawei's words, Wang Ping became conflicted again. He thought about it and realized that learning potion making would take a long time, and besides, he was currently facing life and death every day, so he didn't have time to practice. It would be better to learn magic, which would allow him to practice in actual combat.

Wang Ping made up his mind and said, "Boss, I want to learn magic."

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "A wise choice." After giving the tutorial, Xu Jiawei left. Since Wang Ping couldn't pay her, she had to take whatever she could get after she left.

Wang Ping knew this, so he didn't care what was missing from the ship. What mattered was that he could finally learn other spells; he was tired of using fireball.

After opening the tutorial and seeing the magic flow circuit inside, Wang Ping had an epiphany. He never thought it could be done like that. No wonder his spellcasting animation was so long; it turned out there was a problem with the magic flow. The knowledge in the Level 1 Magician tutorial was already so amazing. He wondered how the other tutorials were.

But that's enough. One can't be too greedy. He's already very satisfied.

After leaving Wang Ping, Xu Jiawei was teleported to another place. The concentration of dark energy in this place was extremely low, almost non-existent. Of course, this was only true for Xu Jiawei; she had already been poisoned by the top-level polluted island.

These dark energies are nothing to her now.

Is this place considered a polluted area? Xu Jiawei complained about this.

A cute-looking girl stood in front of Xu Jiawei. Behind her were several other people who appeared to be a family.

Xu Jiawei asked, "Are you studying alone, or are you all studying together?" After all, this concerned her compensation, and Xu Jiawei had to find out.

"Boss, do you know me? I'm Ye Yezi, we're friends." Ye Yezi looked at Xu Jiawei with admiration.

Xu Jiawei showed interest. She knew Ye Yezi; she was often active in the chat channel. Although they had never met, Xu Jiawei found the ID very familiar.

"I know you. This time, I'll give you a discount on the payment." Xu Jiawei was very generous to people she knew.

"Thank you, boss." Ye Yezi pondered for a while. Her possessions weren't much, not enough for her family to study. It would be better to let her study on her own and increase their chances of survival. She was already a level four mage, and with just one more study session, she could become a level five mage.

"Boss, I want to learn magic," Ye Yezi said.

Xu Jiawei nodded and gave her the level 5 magic tutorial.

Xu Jiawei thought to herself, "I didn't expect there to be so many level four magicians now, but Lin Wenshi, who was once a magic genius, has now faded into obscurity. It's truly a pity that such a promising talent has been wasted."

He still hasn't broken through to level five. When she went to the Magic Association to learn magic, this guy's talent was comparable to hers. But after so long, he's still stuck at level four without any progress, and he doesn't even have a master.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. With such great talent, how come no one is willing to take him on?

However, Lin Wenshi was simply too arrogant. High-level mages are even more arrogant, so how could they tolerate their apprentice being more arrogant than themselves? Therefore, they looked down on Lin Wenshi's bad temper and let him fend for himself.

Lin Wenshi really lost because of his bad temper.

"Boss, boss, can I join your guild?" Ye Yezi had wanted to join for a long time, but the boss's guild only had five people and did not accept outsiders at all, which made her very disappointed.

Xu Jiawei thought about it. Ye Yezi had been with her since the beginning of server 62. She was a good person and had always spoken up for her. Joining her wasn't out of the question.

"I need to ask a few of my companions. If they agree, I'll bring you in," Xu Jiawei said.

"Thank you so much, you're my idol!" Ye Yezi was visibly excited, her already large eyes widening even more.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Someone wants to join our guild.]

[The lucky one is here: Sis, who is it?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Leafy Leaf, we used to be on server 62.]

[The lucky one is here: It's her! I remember seeing her every time I open the chat channel. I have a pretty good impression of her.]

[Rain Falling: I think she was in the last training camp too, right? I remember her. She's improved a lot; she's a very cute girl.]

[Akagi: Xu, you're the president, you decide. I have no problem with it, as long as the people who join are of good character.]

【...: I have no objection.】

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It seems everyone agrees, so I'll bring him in.]

Xu Jiawei ended the chat, looked at Ye Yezi, and said, "Welcome to our Mushroom Alliance."

"Wow, I actually got to join?! Wow, I'm so lucky, it feels like a dream!" Ye Ye jumped up.

"There aren't any benefits to joining a guild now; it's just a nominal position." Xu Jiawei was both amused and exasperated.

"I'd be willing to lend my name, this is your guild, the top-ranked guild!" Ye Yezi was still very excited.

Ye Yezi was brought into the guild, increasing the guild size from five to six members.

[Ye Yezi: Hello everyone, my name is Ye Yezi, you can just call me Yezi. I'm a little nervous chatting with so many big shots.]

[The lucky one is here: Welcome, welcome!]

[Akagi: Welcome! We'll be comrades from now on, so don't be nervous.]

[Rain Falling: Welcome to the newbie! If you want to craft equipment, you can contact me; I'll give you a 20% discount.]

[The lucky one is here: Where's my brother? Why isn't he saying anything during this newbie period?]

Welcome to the newcomer.

[The lucky one is here: Dude, this is way too perfunctory.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Welcome to the new team!]

[The ultimate lucky charm here: Look at my sister, she's much more serious than you.]

【...：......】

This is probably what they call putting someone down, it's just two words more than him.

Ye Yezi was very excited and couldn't speak as she looked at Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei checked the time and said, "I've been here for a long time, I have to go now."

"Big boss, I'll give you a ride." As soon as Ye Yezi finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself. What kind of talk was that? Did the big boss need to be given a ride when he was using the teleportation array?

"No need, it's just a short walk," Xu Jiawei said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Ye Yezi, Xu Jiawei teleported again and stayed with Ye Yezi for five minutes. Now she had to speed things up and become a ruthless teaching machine.

After that, she didn't say another word, and could finish in a minute or two. She was dizzy and lightheaded, and had seen countless people in 10 hours.
