Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The Vulcan's Notebook contains a wealth of records, but the environment has changed drastically since then, so the contents of this notebook cannot be completely trusted; one must use one's own judgment.

Xu Jiawei marked out some uncertain information and would verify it whenever she had the chance. After memorizing all the contents of her notes, she began to practice the isolation barrier and even prepared to dismantle it, separating the isolation of light and dark attributes into two skills.

She basically doesn't need barriers to prevent attacks from the light attribute, except when she encounters people with the light attribute fighting each other. When fighting demonic creatures, isolating the light attribute is like creating a cage for herself, preventing attacks from the outside from getting in and attacks from the inside from getting out.

It's like she's put a bite stopper on herself, so with this isolation barrier, she only needs to isolate the dark attribute.

However, given Vulcan's wild appearance, she assumed the magic would reflect his personality. Surprisingly, the circuitry within was exquisitely crafted, a world apart from Xu Jiawei's.

Xu Jiawei glanced at the spatial displacement she had created, then at the isolation barrier of the Vulcan, and then threw her mind to business. Whatever, she was going to break down the skill's circuitry into this way anyway.

This skill's operating path is much more complex than the previous one; it's already difficult for her to learn it, let alone break it down.

In the past few days, the system's voice has been constantly coming from the air, announcing who has solved the pollution source. For example, Bai Yu, Zhang Yunting, and Li Ming have solved the pollution source one after another. The broadcast time between the three is no more than ten minutes, and it seems that they are competing with each other.

During this time, other players also passed by her cave, but after seeing Little Pink and Red Earthworm, these players did not dare to stop at all and ran away in a flash.

There were no troublesome situations encountered. These players still have brains; most of the brainless players died in the previous natural disasters.

Finally, on the fourth day, Xu Jiawei learned the skill. This was also related to her prior practice on the previous island; otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to learn it in such a short time.

She also discovered that although the skill's path looked complicated, it was actually quite simple and straightforward to operate, separating the suppression of light and dark attributes into two blocks that were easy to break down.

It seems she was wrong. Sure enough, this skill fits the Vulcan's character design perfectly. It operates simply and directly, only it looks complicated. Her ugly energy flow path is just ugly, not simple and direct.

This fact spurred Xu Jiawei to continue dismantling the isolation barrier until it was completely removed, and the entire route remained remarkably beautiful.

Xu Jiawei tested the skill's strength and found that it hadn't changed at all. In fact, it had reduced the number of routes it took, thus consuming less energy, while its power remained unchanged.

Then she can keep this skill active and try to turn it into a passive skill.

Vulcan is a genius. This design is brilliant. How did he come up with it?

Xu Jiawei practiced while sighing with admiration. In the past few days, she would set aside some time each day to hone her spatial skills. Now, when Xu Jiawei used them, she rarely lost limbs, but she still had to be careful.

Xu Jiawei would never use it as a normal skill unless it was 100% safe.

If you use this skill in a fight, and something goes wrong, you'll lose half your life first, unless the situation is extremely critical.

The isolation barrier has also appeared in Xu Jiawei's skill bar. Is it because of the changes she made?

Xu Jiawei couldn't understand it. Now that she had learned two powerful skills, she felt it was time to leave. She had been here for almost half a month, which was longer than the time she had spent on the previous two islands.

This is the island she has stayed on the longest, and it may be the island she will stay on the longest in the future.

She had been staying in the cave for the past ten days or so without going out, but now she was finally going out.

But before finding the source of the pollution, she needs to settle the debts that have been accumulating on her.

As for what debt, it's that teaching and mentoring activity, which has accumulated for almost half a month, and it will take her two days to clear it all.

Xu Jiawei's lips drooped. It had dragged on for too long, and she could foresee two more days of extreme torment.

Even the system director couldn't help but admire you; you really have incredible patience.

The patient Xu Jiawei stepped into the portal, taking the opportunity to observe its trajectory and see if she could improve her spatial displacement ability.

However, she stayed in the portal for too short a time, making it difficult to enter the inner vision state, so she couldn't see anything. Later, Xu Jiawei forcibly entered the inner vision state, but still couldn't see anything. It seemed that she was under a restriction, with only a fog in front of her, and she couldn't see how the energy was running at all.

The system is really stingy, it won't even let me see this. Helpless, Xu Jiawei withdrew from the status and continued her boring work.

She still had the mind to think about how things were on the ship, whether it was full of rewards, while the Mushroom God, the Fire God, and the Agriculture God were grumbling and cleaning up the pile of "garbage" on the ground.

Indeed, in the eyes of the three of them, this pile of rewards was all garbage, not a single one of which was worth their attention. The few usable ones were kept separately by them. As for that pile of "garbage", Mushroom God did not hesitate at all and threw it all back into the cabin.

When Xu Jiawei returned, she was told to tidy up herself. Xu Jiawei, who was teaching and imparting knowledge, couldn't help but sneeze. Who was cursing her?

The high-intensity labor lasted for a full 48 hours, that's right, 48 hours. Xu Jiawei made suggestions to the system, and now the activities can be carried out earlier. Xu Jiawei has accumulated more than ten days' worth of experience, so she doesn't have to worry about teaching and imparting knowledge for at least ten days.

This is a small privilege for advanced players like Xu Jiawei. Other players can only complete the tasks honestly every day. But for other teacher players, they cherish these two hours very much. At least during these two hours, they are very safe and do not have to worry about being attacked by demonized creatures.

They can even borrow mugwort from other players. Mugwort is their most abundant resource now, and they can even use it to take a bath every day to purify their bodies of impurities.

With just a few mugwort plants, you can maintain a good relationship with a professional master of at least level 5. Other players also think this is a very worthwhile deal.

Artemisia became the most popular reward for a time.

Some people tried to bribe Xu Jiawei with mugwort, but she wasn't interested in it. She already had a mountain of it and couldn't possibly use it all, so when other players met her later, they didn't try to bribe her with mugwort anymore.

Forty-eight hours later, Xu Jiawei staggered back to her cave. The main reason she was so exhausted was from constantly navigating the portals. The intense, relentless movement between portals had left her dizzy and lightheaded, feeling like she was about to collapse.

Is this what motion sickness feels like? She gets motion sickness even without a car; she's practically experiencing it by teleporting.
