Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Moreover, she is now all alone in the deep sea. This loneliness is completely different from staying at home, because in the sea, she never sees the sun and is accompanied only by endless darkness and the solitude of the deep sea.

She couldn't use a flashlight at all, not because it wasn't waterproof, but because the pressure at the bottom of the sea was too great. The flashlight bulb would be crushed when it reached the seabed, so the world in front of her was always gray and hazy, like observing the darkness with night vision goggles, with everything in black and white.

If she stayed at the bottom of the sea forever, even if she could chat, her mental state would eventually deteriorate. But now that she's in this world, how many people are in good mental condition?

It's like she came to this world to atone for the evil she committed against the earth. It's both cruel and realistic, but she's better off than those who have died. She's still alive and probably the most successful among the players.

While not the most comfortable, she is the strongest, which means she has more options than other players.

Xu Jiawei murmured to herself, "One shouldn't be too greedy; contentment brings happiness." Then she packed up and prepared to leave.

She took out the latest compass, which was almost as functional as the navigation equipment from the last natural disaster. Xu Jiawei first searched for the location of the temple, preparing to go to the temple to see if there were any good things before searching for the source of pollution.

After observing for a period of time, Xu Jiawei has come to accept that each island has a temple.

However, each temple has a different age, so she can encounter gods from different time periods. Perhaps the owner of an alchemy manual is also slumbering here. She has many questions that she dares not tell Grace. She wants to ask about pills that increase the chances of becoming a god, and those who have already become gods are the best choice.

She had no clue how to make this pill. If she could learn it, not only would the player community, but also the people of this world would have more newly born gods, which would greatly increase their chances of defeating the Dark God.

As she imagined the future, her steps became lighter. However, the temple seemed to be quite far away. At Rainbow's speed, she walked for a whole day, but the compass needle did not change at all. Moreover, Rainbow seemed unaffected by the pressure of the seabed, and her speed did not slow down at all.

The island was still too big. Little Pink stayed outside for a while, but couldn't stand the environment of being surrounded by water, so she went back into the pet backpack. So now Xu Jiawei only has Rainbow and Red Earthworm by her side.

After Little Pink returned to the pet backpack, she saw Little Gray staring dejectedly at the rainbow outside. It had only just become its owner's mount, but after just one time, it was back to being a rainbow. Damn it, why was it the only one afraid of water? If only it weren't a bird.

Little Grey wondered if there was a god who could grant it a blessing, allowing it to transform into any shape at will.

Little Pink floated over and comforted Little Gray. Its fiery little hands patted Little Gray's wings, saying, "It's okay, I don't like water either."

Pinkie Pie's words of comfort cheered Little Grey up.

Xu Jiawei obtained waterproof equipment, which would have allowed her to release Little Grey, but she didn't have enough energy stones, so she couldn't waste them on this.

After acquiring Rainbow, Xu Jiawei tried to use the Isolation Barrier and Spatial Displacement in actual combat. As for Mustard Seed Space, it was a passive skill that would be used automatically when Xu Jiawei released her skills. However, the Isolation Barrier and Spatial Displacement required her to actively release them.

Ultimately, compared to skills like Light Spore and Photon Meteor, which she had practiced for a long time and could use instinctively, she was clearly not proficient in the skills of Isolation Barrier and Spatial Displacement, and needed to practice them properly.

Now that Rainbow is protecting her and her life is no longer in danger, Xu Jiawei thought that she must practice these two skills in actual combat. She must practice these two skills until she can use them subconsciously, just like last time in the illusion. If she could use these two skills subconsciously, the battle would be easier, and she wouldn't end up so disheveled.

If there's another illusion this time, she doesn't believe her luck is good enough to have two lucky breaks in a row, so mastering these two skills is of utmost importance.

Xu Jiawei didn't feel much when she released the isolation barrier, but when she used spatial displacement, she found that using this skill was much smoother, even though she hadn't practiced this skill much.

Could it be the effect of the mustard seed space?

This skill also affects spatial displacement, which perfectly compensates for the skill's malfunction and restores the previously unstable spatial energy.

It's truly an unexpected stroke of luck! As for whether it will still break or not, we'll have to try again to find out. In any case, it's running smoothly now, which is a good thing.

Since this skill has improved so much, perhaps the teleportation skill has also become more proficient. Xu Jiawei tried it out, and sure enough, her proficiency in spatial skills improved significantly. This was truly good news.

Xu Jiawei was already thinking about how great it would be to develop another spatial attribute, but she would have to find the God of Space first, and the hope was too slim. Xu Jiawei could only think about it in her heart.

As she traveled and killed monsters, her speed slowed down. Since she couldn't reach the temple anytime soon, she might as well practice her skills now.

Moreover, the pollution level here is significantly lower, even lower than that of the high-level polluted island. Could this be a high-level polluted island?

With this level of pollution, she wouldn't have to worry about getting contaminated even if she stayed outside all the time.

Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief. Living in danger every day had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

On the third day, the long-dormant hands of the compass finally moved. After three days of travel, her numb expression changed.

Following the compass's guidance, she quickened her pace and finally arrived at a flat area where the temple was located.

But there was nothing here. Xu Jiawei looked up and saw nothing. Then she looked down at her feet and touched her chin thoughtfully. Could this temple be like the Temple of the Winged God, buried underground?

It seems we have to dig up the grave again. Once you've done it once, you'll do it again. Xu Jiawei took out a shovel and started digging with practiced ease. However, the soil on the seabed is different from that on land. Once she started digging, the sand mixed in with the water made it impossible for her to breathe. Every breath she took was filled with mud and sand, and even her eyes were covered with sand, so she couldn't see anything.

It seemed this wouldn't work; she couldn't dig when there was water. So she took out her waterproof gear and installed the energy stone. Now that there was no water, the sand wouldn't pollute the water source.

Because the sand was damp, it was actually quite easy to dig, and Little Grey was finally able to get out of the pet backpack. It excitedly circled around the waterproof gear. Although the space to move around was very small, it was much freer than when it was cramped in the pet backpack.
