Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Put aside the fear of losing your companion, now begin to analyze the situation rationally. First of all, those black-robed men don't look like priests, because priests have their own etiquette. These black-robed men are very undisciplined and don't look like priests at all. They look more like thugs and a mob.

But with such a large number of people, and all of them being of a dark nature, Xu Jiawei boldly guessed that these people were either demonized humans or people who had been deceived by the sweet words of the Dark God. That's why they cried out so miserably in the end, unable to believe it, as if they had been betrayed.

As for how they were deceived, it was probably by promising them certain benefits after the Dark God became a god, which led them to betray humanity and join the Dark God's camp.

But where did those priests go? It's impossible that humans killed them all, Xu Jiawei felt they didn't have that ability. Perhaps the Dark God sacrificed those priests to come out, or perhaps the Dark God sacrificed them to break through level 100.

These three guesses are all the ones she can think of now. As for which one it is, she doesn't know yet. Of course, it's also possible that the Dark God disliked them and killed them all.

However, this possibility is extremely slim. After all, if those priests were present, why would the God of Darkness bother to deceive his underlings and use them for his own purposes? He wouldn't kill all these useful tools just because of some minor incompetence.

Let's set aside the speculation about the black-robed man's identity.

There was another thing that Xu Jiawei cared about a lot: the deaths of her companions. Bai Yu and Zhang Yunting's deaths weren't anything special, and Li Ming was still alive, so she put that aside. The only thing that concerned her was Si Yunming's death.

She clearly remembered that the dark figure was very likely the God of Darkness. After devouring Si Yunming, its energy surged, transforming it from a colossal creature into a terrifying being capable of devouring an entire planet.

Could it be that Si Yunming is some kind of super-nutritious treasure? If he were eaten, the Dark God would become stronger. The more Xu Jiawei thought about it, the more reliable this guess seemed. After all, Si Yunming had completely escaped the Dark God's control. The Dark God didn't hunt him down but instead kept him alive, which was practically like being a saint.

Keeping Si Yunming around would only cause trouble for the Dark God. After all, Si Yunming is among the top contributors. The fact that the Dark God didn't target Si Yunming the same way he targeted her proves that Si Yunming is still useful to him.

It's impossible that they appreciate each other because they are both of the dark attribute. If it were really for such a ridiculous reason, then why would the Dark God turn all the people with the dark attribute into his puppets?

He didn't want anyone to surpass him, but now Si Yunming is becoming that variable who surpasses him.

If he doesn't try to eliminate this variable, it proves that Si Yunming is very useful and could very well be the key factor in the Dark God breaking through level 100.

Xu Jiawei stood up abruptly. Si Yunming paused for a moment, but seeing that Xu Jiawei had no further reaction, he continued the lesson.

No, that's not right. If he had already reached level 100 after eating Si Yunming, why would he need to devour the energy of the entire world?

Could it be that the energy was still insufficient, and that devouring Si Yunming only gave him the energy to devour the world?

Or is he an antisocial personality, and after reaching level 100, he's taking revenge on the world? Whatever the reason, the most crucial step is to prevent him from devouring Si Yunming. Perhaps we should hide Si Yunming before the great battle.

As for why the Dark God's strength increased dramatically after devouring Si Yunming, it may be related to Si Yunming's mutated dark attribute.

Anyway, Si Yunming is very safe now. The Dark God is like a pig, fattening Si Yunming up first, and then killing and eating him.

Si Yunming glanced at Xu Jiawei indifferently, because he always felt that Xu Jiawei was thinking about something bad.

Xu Jiawei suddenly smiled meaningfully, walked over to Si Yunming's side, and patted Si Yunming's shoulder with a sympathetic look. Si Yunming was completely confused.

Regarding the precognitive dream, Xu Jiawei only told him that it was very tragic, without telling him the content of the dream. However, the information in the dream is very important now. Perhaps others can analyze other information, so this dream can be made public to the authorities so that they can prepare in advance to deal with those black-robed people and fight a good public opinion war against the Dark God.

Sometimes information and public opinion can determine the victory of a war. Many years ago, didn't the gods suffer from the propaganda war waged by the Dark God? Xu Jiawei still remembers those angry believers surrounding the temple.

This caused considerable trouble for the clergy.

It seems I need to find another opportunity to meet with the official leaders. Xu Jiawei plans to make suggestions to the system after the source of this pollution is resolved.

Si Yunming finally finished speaking, took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it into his mouth. He was a little tired after saying so much in one go.

Little Grey looked deep in thought. Si Yunming's words seemed like gibberish to it, but it still tried its best to think, because it was the smartest kid in the family, even more so than that arrogant red earthworm.

It's a top student, so how could a top student not know something? It has to use its brain to think and learn how to operate.

Looking at Xiao Huihui's expression, Xu Jiawei felt that he would look better with glasses on. Now Xiao Huihui really looks like a cultured bird.

"Have you learned it?" Xu Jiawei asked.

Little Grey shook its head, then chirped twice. Xu Jiawei immediately understood what Little Grey meant: it had remembered and would learn slowly later.

"It's good that you remembered. Be careful in the future and don't let the Dark God control your mind." Xu Jiawei's tone softened considerably.

Little Grey nodded vigorously, tears welling up in its eyes. Its owner was finally no longer angry, and its efforts had not been in vain.

Xu Jiawei didn't know what Little Grey was thinking, she only knew that it looked like it was about to cry. Then a mocking laugh came, and when Xu Jiawei turned her head, she saw that it was a red earthworm that had appeared out of nowhere.

It let out a strange laugh, which was clearly not from a human. As soon as the laugh came out, Little Grey's sad mood disappeared. It stared angrily at the red earthworm, wanting to eat it like a bug. It had never eaten such a fat bug before.

Little Grey was completely unaware that its body was getting fatter and fatter; it still thought of itself as a slender and weak little bird.

"Chirp chirp (What are you laughing at, you fat maggot?)" Little Grey angrily kicked the red earthworm with its paw.

When the red earthworm heard that Little Gray dared to call it a fat maggot, it got so angry that it bit Little Gray's wing.

Xu Jiawei belatedly realized that her backyard seemed to be on fire.

After separating the two pets from their fight, Xu Jiawei sighed. Rainbow and Pink were still the best. Rainbow was mature, while Pink was silly and clueless, so they naturally couldn't argue.

No, I should say it's better to be brainless. Before, only Red Earthworm was somewhat smart. Rainbow was very tolerant, and Pink was silly, so they never argued. But now that we have Gray, who is smart, the two of them naturally started arguing.

As expected, having a high IQ isn't always a good thing. Like Rainbow, who only argues with herself and resolves it internally, she seems to have remembered the deeds of Rainbow One and Rainbow Two. However, now that these two clones have merged, they've never argued again.
