Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Is it only the spring water we saw on the previous island that has special effects?

Xu Jiawei was somewhat disappointed. The purifying ability of this rainwater was significantly weaker than the last time, and it didn't give her that invigorating feeling.

Even so, it would be more than enough to purify the island.

Rainbow led her underlings to collect items, and the little octopus shamelessly followed Rainbow to collect supplies; everyone was busy.

Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming exchanged some information and then waited for the time to leave.

Si Yunming asked, "Which island are you going to next?" He was genuinely curious about Xu Jiawei's thoughts.

For people of their strength level, there is a small privilege: they can "order" and decide for themselves what level of pollution source they want to go to.

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and said, "Next time, I want to go to a simpler source of pollution."

There are two purposes and reasons. First, it is because of the Dark God's targeting. In highly polluted areas, the Dark God's control is very strong, so it is necessary to avoid his sharp edge. Second, she needs a more comfortable environment to digest the knowledge she has gained during this period.

Only after she has fully digested this knowledge will she be confident in surviving the Dark God's attacks.

Going to lower-level islands is not about giving up, but about learning.

Si Yunming nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly. Only by finding a rhythm that suits oneself can one avoid being led by the nose by the Dark God.

"And what about you?" Xu Jiawei asked.

Si Yunming thought for a moment and said, "Next time I will suggest going to a high-level pollution source." High-level+ is still too difficult. If he encounters a powerful envoy again, it will be hard for him to survive on his own.

Three hours passed quickly. When she said she wanted to go to a regular pollution source, the system did not object. A teleportation portal opened, and Xu Jiawei was teleported away.

When Xu Jiawei opened her eyes again, she was still a little dazed. This was the first time she had seen such bright sunshine since arriving on the island, before it was purified. The pollution was so low that it was almost non-existent, at least from her perspective.

So the difference in difficulty is that big? In fact, the supplies here are basically edible without purification, making it a paradise for players.

Upon arriving at the new island, Xu Jiawei wasn't in a hurry to find the source of pollution. Instead, she found an ordinary cave and planned not to go out for the next few days.

Let the Rainbow Brothers collect resources, and as for Little Grey, let Rainbow take it to level up.

She wants to study the knowledge she has recently acquired.

First, there are the skills and knowledge in the Vulcan's Notebook; second, there is the knowledge of the learning space. It will take a while to fully grasp both of these points.

However, she now has enough time. Xu Jiawei firmly believes that once she learns the spatial skills of the isolation barrier and the hedgehog, it will be difficult for the Dark God to keep her, and she will have a higher chance of escaping.

Having been targeted by the Dark God three times in a row, even though she is currently ranked number one on the player leaderboard, she is still in grave danger and could lose her life at any moment.

After three consecutive failures, the Dark God will definitely change his strategy and perhaps even put more effort into it.

If she foolishly rushes forward now, it would be no different from suicide. She needs to calm down in a safe place.

Upon arriving at the cave, the first thing Xu Jiawei did was take out her tent and sleeping bag. The tension of the past few days had left her feeling extremely tired. However, just as she stepped into her sleeping bag, a system notification sounded.

[Ding, dear player, you have not participated in the "Teaching and Instructing" activity for seven days. Do you wish to participate?]

Xu Jiawei's face was full of pain. When she encountered the crisis, the teaching and learning activities naturally stopped. Now, seven days had passed, and it seemed that her plan to sleep would be in vain again.

"Proceed." After saying this, Xu Jiawei seemed to have exhausted all her strength. A portal appeared behind her, and she numbly walked into it.

Now she feels like a factory worker on an assembly line, working numbly and having the same conversations. She feels like she's becoming an NPC in a game, exuding a faint sense of being a human-machine interface.

Adhering to the principle of never wasting words, Xu Jiawei scanned the talent, asked a question, and immediately imparted the course without any further explanation. She left immediately after giving the course. If anyone tried to stall for time or bargain, Xu Jiawei would not tolerate it. She would raise the price directly and leave without lingering for even a minute longer.

When everyone learned that the top influencer had started teaching again, the planned activities were postponed, just to wait for Xu Jiawei and leave a good impression.

After realizing that the boss was in a bad mood, he didn't even dare to ask any questions, for fear of upsetting Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei was too lazy to correct this attitude, which saved her energy. Even rewards were hard for her to maintain happily now. What was the difference between this and going to work and getting a salary?

This job only lasts for 2 hours a day. On Earth, this is probably a dream job, but it feels tedious and long when you're so tired.

Passing through the teleportation array repeatedly made her dizzy and her temples throbbed. At first, she could still find some amusement in observing how the teleportation portals worked.

But after traversing through hundreds of times, all she wants to do now is vomit.

Finally, after 14 consecutive hours of intense work, Xu Jiawei was somewhat delirious before the session ended.

After shakily making his way back to his cave, he collapsed onto his sleeping bag.

When she woke up again, it was pitch black all around; it was night again. She didn't know how long she had slept. Xu Jiawei rubbed her temples; she had slept for too long, and her head was a little sore.

After drinking a bottle of energy potion, her mind cleared up, and at that moment the system urged her to go and teach again.

[Ding, dear player, would you like to participate in the teaching and mentoring activity?]

Xu Jiawei's lips twitched. She had just woken up and the first thing she saw was a nightmare. She immediately refused, saying, "I'm not going. Let's save it for the last few days."

Now, she gets a headache just looking at this job. Moreover, she needs to concentrate on her research, which requires two hours of interruption every day, so how can she do any research?

The system went silent. Xu Jiawei lazily released Little Pink and took out some of the food she had gathered. She was a little hungry and wanted to eat something to fill her stomach.

Xu Jiawei took out the soup pot, casually threw a potato into it, added mugwort, and started cooking.

Tonight's dinner is boiled potatoes, as simple as possible.

Although it has no taste at all, it's enough to fill your stomach, so you don't need any flavor.

After eating the potatoes, she still felt tired, so she crawled back into her sleeping bag to rest.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already daylight. She had finally had enough sleep and felt much more refreshed, with a clear mind.

Xu Jiawei seemed to have a feeling that perhaps studying spatial skills now would bring her some insights.

This is an intuition, and Xu Jiawei's intuition is very strong now. Since her intuition tells her that now is the right time to study spatial skills, she can't possibly go against her intuition.
