Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

When Xu Jiawei saw this question, the corner of her mouth twitched immediately. The system knew exactly how to provoke her.

This must be referring to her, it definitely refers to her. She thought about it carefully and was shocked to realize that it had taken her more than two months to reach level 30, while Little Grey took only a few days.

No, it should be said that it's only been born a few days ago? It's so great to have a big shot to guide you, Xu Jiawei said enviously. This is such a great connection. Of course, she absolutely did not mean to praise herself.

As for her own thigh, thinking of the Mushroom God who argued with her every day on the ship, Xu Jiawei sighed.

My thighs don't seem quite right.

I envy the feeling of being guided to level up by a pro, even though that pro seems to be myself.

Xu Jiawei looked at Xiao Huihui's panel. After two breakthroughs, Xiao Huihui's attributes had finally reached a normal level. She seemed to remember that when Rainbow was level 30, its attributes were only around 500.

Now, Little Grey is no longer a thin, weak little bird; it has become a normal little bird.

Next are the upgrades to several skills. Screaming Stun only adds a few more damage skills, while Emotional Fluctuation adds a weakening effect. It's unclear whether it will be useful against opponents far stronger than it. If it is, then Emotional Fluctuation will be an extremely powerful support skill.

Another thing is that the teleportation distance has increased. Xu Jiawei thought, with teleportation, the ability to grow and shrink, and its extraordinary speed, wouldn't it be able to replace Rainbow for traveling once it reaches a higher level?

Xu Jiawei was secretly excited. Was she going to have a flying mount? She would finally have a mount for land, sea, air, and sea.

Although Xu Jiawei doesn't have a mount for sailing, Si Yunming does; his octopus is for use on water, isn't it?

Xu Jiawei pulled her wandering thoughts back; the last skill, according to the description, was extremely powerful.

Xu Jiawei immediately let it try. After Little Grey killed one of the demonized creatures by pecking it, the last demonized creature used Emotional Tear. With just this one blow, the energy in its body was drained.

Exhausted, it slumped to the ground, but the effect was still considerable. With just one strike, it tore the mutated creature's skull in two. However, this skill was not good for finishing off enemies, as it used up all its energy in just one strike.

It seems Little Grey will have to continue its "kowtowing" attack. Little Grey is not disappointed; instead, it looks at the wounds it caused with bright eyes, as if it still can't believe that it was caused by it.

Its attacks have finally become powerful.

The assistant mushroom picked up Little Gray and began to replenish its energy.

Little Grey looked at Xu Jiawei with a worried expression and chirped twice. Since it was speaking to Xu Jiawei, Little Grey's words were automatically translated into Xu Jiawei's mind to convey its meaning.

It seemed to be concerned about that crazy old man. Upon hearing the term "crazy old man," Xu Jiawei immediately realized who Little Grey was referring to.

"It's just exhausted and needs to rest, don't worry," Xu Jiawei said.

Hearing Xu Jiawei's comforting words, Little Grey Wolf relaxed a lot and fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Jiawei was still wondering how the clan leader managed to exhaust so many emotional birds one by one.

What Xu Jiawei didn't know was that this matter was originally done by the gods. After the gods had only a wisp of consciousness left, the Emotion Birds happened to have difficulty reproducing, and the species was in crisis. There were not even ten Emotion Birds born, so it was not a big burden for the clan leader.

Xu Jiawei really hadn't expected this. After Little Grey finished off the enemy, before Xu Jiawei could even sit down and rest, the next wave of demonic creatures arrived.

Xu Jiawei didn't know whether to envy or despise Si Yunming's physique that attracted demonic creatures.

Perhaps because Xu Jiawei's expression was too complicated, Si Yunming still explained, "I've never encountered anything like this before."

Because he is of the dark attribute, even if these demonic creatures are attracted, they will not attack him; at most, they will circle around outside a couple of times before returning.

However, things changed with Xu Jiawei's arrival. She is of the Light and Mushroom attributes, and these demonic creatures hate the Light attribute, making Xu Jiawei a sitting duck.

Adding to Si Yunming's strange luck, the demonic creatures he attracted were all stimulated by Xu Jiawei's light attribute and attacked him.

The two of them didn't get any rest overnight. Little Grey also leveled up to level 35 after being invaded by the demonic creatures all night. If they did it a few more times, reaching the maximum level would be just around the corner.

Soon she will have an 80-level pet. Perhaps this is what is called the latecomer surpassing the old. Little Pink and Rainbow didn't react much to this, but Red Earthworm couldn't stand it. It was originally the most promising pet in the family to reach level 80.

But then a little gray creature with its own backing came along, and it had a clear path to reach level 80.

On the other hand, the purification of ice crystals is still a long way off.

So, it often caused trouble for Little Grey after that, but that's another story. Right now, Little Grey is just a level 35 minion, so it can't even muster any intention to target him.

The next day, at daybreak, the two headed towards the source of pollution on the island. If all went well, they would resolve the pollution issue that day, and then they would have to part ways. They had only seen each other for one night, and now they had to separate.

There was a moment of silence between them, but separating was the best option for them. If they acted together, the development of either Si Yunming or Xu Jiawei would be slowed down. The current crisis was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, so they should focus on improving their strength.

Si Yunming himself was well aware that coming here was already very irrational, slowing down his development for several days. If this continued, he would soon be eliminated by the times.

But let's deal with this island first. Anyway, we'll have time to say goodbye after we've dealt with it.

On the way, the two encountered the elusive hedgehog again. No matter how alert Xu Jiawei was, she still couldn't avoid getting her feet pierced by its thorns. Now she even wanted to replace the soles of her shoes with metal ones.

That wretched hedgehog.

Upon reaching the lake, the two exchanged a glance. Xu Jiawei gave some of her medicinal water to Si Yunming, and the two jumped into the lake without hesitation.

They dived to the bottom of the lake to find the source of the pollution. Before long, Xu Jiawei discovered a black sphere slowly floating at the bottom of the lake, and three magic circles rotating around the black sphere.

Xu Jiawei's face was grim. Was the source of pollution actually at the bottom of the lake? But they couldn't hold out at the bottom for long before they drowned, since they weren't fish and couldn't breathe underwater.

The teleportation array emitted a black light, and the demonized creatures were about to be teleported out. Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision: they couldn't fight them underwater, so they should bring the battle line back to the shore.

Anyway, with the protective shield in place and their status linked to Xu Jiawei and the others, these guys simply can't get near the source of pollution unless they're defeated.

As Xu Jiawei climbed to the shore and looked warily at the churning lake water, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have entered a high-level+ pollution source. The system will provide purification equipment. Purification will take two and a half hours. Please protect your equipment during this time. If the purification equipment is destroyed, purification will fail. Please do your best to protect it.]
