Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

For the past 10 hours, she has completely become a ruthless machine for teaching knowledge.

She didn't even bother to say a word. If a player made a request, she would give them what they wanted. If a player was in a daze, Xu Jiawei would simply throw them a job skill book that suited them and leave.

I don't know how many people she met. Later, experience posts appeared in the chat channel, so when players saw Xu Jiawei, they would shout out what they wanted.

This time, everyone seems more interested in improving their combat power, and most people chose the mage class, except for some who don't have good magical talent or only have alchemy talent.

There are two types of talents. Even though the talent of a mage is slightly inferior to that of an alchemist, most people still choose the mage, in order to increase their combat power and their hope of survival.

Xu Jiawei also voted in the chat channel to find out that people seem to be more interested in combat professions now. In addition to the three mainstream combat professions, Warrior, Magic Swordsman and Mage have always been the top three most desired professions by players.

However, Xu Jiawei did not expect that the fourth place would be the pharmacist. The pharmacist is a profession that has no combat power, is difficult to get started with, and is even more difficult to advance, yet it is ranked fourth.

What Xu Jiawei didn't know was that this profession was so popular partly because of her; she had unknowingly become an idol in the hearts of many people.

And once you become a Level 1 Pharmacist, it becomes a lucrative profession, at least enough to make you self-sufficient.

Even blacksmiths can't do this, because with the increase in player levels, even physical combat is stronger than using white equipment. White equipment is not as strong as physical combat, so low-level blacksmiths simply can't make money.

Even if a low-level alchemist makes low-level potions, they can still sell them; the effects of increasing health and mana are undeniable.

High-level potions are precious and can be used in battle to increase the chances of survival.

Once the battle is over, they can drink several low-level potions to recover their condition and maintain a stable state.

There are just too many people selling low-level potions, so they're not fetching a good price anymore.

Even if they don't sell, they can be self-sufficient, so the profession of apothecary is the most popular besides combat professions.

Of course, there is another special profession called healer. Anyone with the right talent can learn healing skills. However, with the existence of pharmacists, the profession of healer is not so special.

Moreover, the healer profession requires players to give up most of their attack skills and learn healing skills that have no offensive power, which weakens the player's combat ability. Healing skills can only show their specialness when in a team.

Robert chose the profession of therapist, since her talent was well-suited to learning this skill. After learning several more healing skills, Robert completely switched careers to become a therapist.

Of course, there are other miscellaneous professions, such as Zhang Yunting's assassin profession, which is also a popular profession, ranking fifth on the profession aspiration list. There is even a thief profession. There are so many types that even Xu Jiawei did not recognize them all. It seems that the system is determined to let all players obtain a profession.

Just like enabling the job change function in a game.

But isn't it a bit late for any game to only unlock the class feature in the mid-to-late game?

......

Xu Jiawei had to burn herself out to complete the five days of professional tasks. When she returned to the island, she collapsed to the ground and struggled to reach out her hand.

"System, where's my reward?" Don't tell her she wasted 10 hours, just wasted time, and sent all her reward to the ship.

Doesn't that mean she wastes two hours more than others every day without improving or helping herself at all?

The system was clearly aware of this problem, so it set up a special method.

[Ding! Each time you complete a mission to spread knowledge and teach, you will receive one item from the rewards. Take it to the island; the rest will be returned to your ship.]

"Not bad," Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought she had worked for nothing for 10 hours. The system wasn't that cruel.

Even if each person gets one item, she would still have 500 items in 10 hours.

After a few "thump thump thump" sounds, a mountain of supplies fell in front of him, including precious herbs and materials, as well as some high-level equipment, and of course some basic materials and common herbs.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a pharmacist, but the rewards are mostly herbs and the like, and herbs alone make up 60% of this pile of materials.

Xu Jiawei tidied up the precious forging materials and then sent them to Bai Yu.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I don't need these materials from the rewards, you can use them for now.]

Bai Yu hadn't recovered from the system's rattling off of menus yet—why so many materials? But after seeing Xu Jiawei's message, she understood; these were all rewards.

Bai Yu was now in a bigger headache. She desperately needed the materials, but they were too precious, and she had nothing to give back.

Bai Yu still reluctantly decided to refuse. No matter how good their relationship was, she couldn't accept so many precious things for nothing.

[Rain Falling: Jiawei, these are too precious, I can't accept them. Even if we're very close, I can't take advantage of you.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It's alright, I don't need these materials, consider it a gift. If you feel bad, just give me the herbs; I need these things.]

Seeing that Xu Jiawei had said so, Bai Yu would seem pretentious if she didn't accept it, but she couldn't take advantage of the situation. Even if she went to the teaching center and got the treasure chest, she didn't get many herbs.

Bai Yu made up her mind to wait until this batch of materials was used to forge equipment and then give her a larger share.

[Rain Falling: Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony, but I don't have many herbs.]

[Rain Falling: I just finished crafting a few pieces of equipment. You can use them for now. Once this batch of materials is used to craft more equipment, you can choose first.]

Since Bai Yu had said so, Xu Jiawei naturally agreed. Putting herself in Bai Yu's shoes, she would also find a way to repay this kindness.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay, I definitely won't hold back then.]

Xu Jiawei began sorting the remaining materials. She piled the basic materials together and threw them into a corner of Rainbow's stomach. As for the herbs, Xu Jiawei separated the common herbs from the rare herbs and put them in as well. Xu Jiawei asked, "Rainbow, how much can your stomach hold?"

With guards and a flock of birds inside her, Xu Jiawei was genuinely worried that there wouldn't be enough room, especially since this natural disaster was going to last for a long time.

Rainbow tilted its head and thought for a moment. If it grew bigger, it could swallow the entire island. Its belly seemed to be an alternate dimension that could never be filled.

"It's huge, it can hold a lot." That's the only way to describe a rainbow.

Xu Jiawei was immediately relieved. If Rainbow said it was big, then it must be very big. However, Rainbow's belly doesn't have a preservation function. If it were something like fruits or vegetables that are difficult to store, it would spoil in less than three days.

Therefore, the space inside Rainbow's belly can only be used in emergencies.
