Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Ding, player, please wake up! This is an illusion!]

Xu Jiawei heard a series of noisy sounds and static in her ears, but no matter how hard she listened, she couldn't make out what they were saying; it seemed to be just meaningless noise.

It seemed that only by defeating this monster could Xu Jiawei win the game and leave this place. This thought inexplicably surfaced in her mind.

Soon a bell rang, and the figures on the windows cheered. The caterpillar monster quickly approached Xu Jiawei, its tail whipping as it was about to smash into her.

If that attack had landed, she would have been cut in two. So, facing the enormous monster, she used her small body to dodge quickly and nimbly. The monster screamed when it failed to strike.

The piercing cry of the baby made Xu Jiawei dizzy. In that moment of distraction, the monster had already attacked. She had no time to dodge and could only take the blow head-on.

She spat out blood, slammed against the wall, and charged forward again. Both sides seemed to have forgotten about magic and skills; they relied on the strength of their bodies and the power of their flesh to fight each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Jiawei's eyes turned fierce, and she smashed the monster's infant head with her fist. The infant head, which had been crying sharply, stopped crying and fell straight down.

A thunderous cheer erupted from the arena. She stared blankly at her fists. What was she doing here? She seemed to have forgotten. Oh, she remembered! She was a competitor in this arena. If she won 100 matches, she could…

Huh, why does she want to compete? What are the benefits of competing for her? Why does she want to kill her opponent? It seems to be a rule of the competition that the winner has to kill the loser.

She seems to have been in this arena for a very long time; perhaps one day, she too will die in this long competition.

The bell rang again, and the monster she had previously killed recovered from its injuries and stood up again, marking the start of a new round of the competition.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Xu Jiawei was already panting heavily from exhaustion. The competition never stopped; each match ended and the next one would begin. Perhaps she would soon be unable to bear it any longer, and death would be the final outcome.

She was tired of her current numb, endless life. Perhaps death was a good option. The thought took hold of her mind, and even her movements became sluggish.

The noise and static in her mind kept echoing, even drowning out the cheers from the figures on the window. Xu Jiawei couldn't help but frown and cover her ears, saying, "Stop making noise."

But the static only grew louder after hearing Xu Jiawei's voice, as if it wouldn't stop until it drove her crazy.

She could only cover her ears while dodging the monster's attacks. The monster's attack patterns were very simple, so dodging it wasn't too difficult.

The noise grew louder and louder, and now she could even hear some words, as if they were saying something.

"Buzz... Illusion... Buzz... Wake up... Buzz..." A few words occasionally popped out, accompanied by an electrical sound. What does this mean?

Xu Jiawei subconsciously felt that this sentence was very important to her and that she had to hear it clearly. However, the baby's sharp roar interrupted her thoughts, and she instantly felt annoyed.

She was very unhappy that the monster had interrupted her, so she fought even harder. After killing the monster, she saw that it had come back to life, and the cheers from the window grew louder and louder. Xu Jiawei could no longer hear any of the noise.

A surge of irritation welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but yell, "Shut up!"

The cheers around her subsided for a moment, then erupted into even louder cheers and discussions, accompanied by bursts of mockery and pointing fingers at her.

Xu Jiawei was furious, her eyes flashing with murderous intent. Why was she fighting downstairs while those people upstairs could act so easily and recklessly? These people deserved to die! She was going to take care of all those noisy figures upstairs!

She decisively abandoned the monster in front of her and wanted to quiet down the figure upstairs. She casually opened a door, went in, and subconsciously used Photon Meteor to bombard the figure. The figure screamed and fled, muttering something under its breath.

"Kaka... kaka... wake up... keke"

"Why...keikei....would....las!" the black figure screamed, the voice extremely shrill. However, some of the black figures were very strong, while others were very weak. Xu Jiawei couldn't tell, but she felt that some of the black figures could last for a long time, while others she could kill with a single blow.

Many shadowy figures tried to escape, but Xu Jiawei's murderous intent surfaced. She had just enjoyed watching the show so much, but now it was too late to run away!

She chased after the shadowy figures, but they weren't entirely useless. Many of them began to fight back, striking her. Xu Jiawei's eyes turned red with anger. These shadowy figures weren't obediently letting her kill them; they even dared to fight back. She would kill them all without leaving a trace!

She stopped dodging, because at some point, the pain in her body disappeared. The attacks felt like tickles, and she felt nothing at all. Taking advantage of her current numbness, she was going to kill all the black figures.

Driven to a bloodthirst, she lost all reason and charged recklessly at the figures.

"bd......nolsj......illusion....kek.." A black figure, clearly stronger than the others, shouted loudly. To Xu Jiawei, it sounded like gibberish; the voice was very loud, but Xu Jiawei couldn't understand it.

She immediately rushed towards the dark figure, her body instinctively releasing skills. The caterpillar-like monster also chased after her. No matter how Xu Jiawei attacked, the caterpillar monster would stand up again after being killed, seemingly endless, and she could not kill it no matter what.

The noise around me grew louder, but I was so overwhelmed by the sounds of the shadowy figures and monsters that I couldn't hear anything.

She was exhausted, but with sheer willpower, she persevered. These shadowy figures were too noisy and had to be killed; they couldn't be allowed to live.

Slowly, the shadowy figures died one by one, and the caterpillar monster also weakened. Not only did it become slower, but its attack power also decreased significantly. However, at this time, Xu Jiawei had reached her limit and could no longer hold on.

Suddenly, she felt a cool liquid pour into her mouth, and her fatigue immediately disappeared.

Who fed her? There was no one else around. Xu Jiawei could only assume it was an illusion, but a strange feeling of reassurance lingered in her heart.

She couldn't remember who she was. All she wanted now was to kill these shadowy figures and quiet them down; they were making a lot of noise.

Her body was brimming with strength, making it easier to deal with the shadowy figures. Of course, she couldn't neglect the monster either. Although this monster was weaker, its immortality was annoying; it was impossible to kill it no matter what she did.

"Buzz... Wake up... Buzz..."

This time, Xu Jiawei heard it clearly. The sound of electricity seemed to be telling her to wake up. What did that mean?
