Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

There's nothing they can do; their team doesn't have a tank.

Bai Yu is a berserker and half-support, Zhang Yunting and Si Yunming are the two damage dealers, Li Ming... Li Ming provides luck support, Xu Jiawei is a mage damage dealer and half-support, and Robert is an unofficial member of the full support team. Looking at it this way, we are really missing a tank.

There was no other way; as the president, she had to take on the extra work of being a human shield. She was a well-rounded individual, so she couldn't just say no.

Xu Jiawei's current strength isn't just due to her stats; the game mechanics also play a significant role. The reason she's so hard to kill is entirely due to her bug-like skills. Nowadays, which powerful player relies solely on stats? Every player is a combination of stats and mechanics.

Bai Yu is considered to have the most ordinary talent among them. Her strength is solely due to herself and the equipment she crafted herself, but how can those equipment not be considered a mechanism?

Talent is a truly magical thing; the more it's developed, the more extraordinary it becomes. Players' talent development is incredibly diverse. Xu Jiawei even heard Zhang Yunting mention that one of their officials has a magical talent called "Word Spirit," which means that whatever she utters will come true, unless the wish is too great for her talent to handle.

If this talent continues to be developed, she can kill someone without them even knowing they've uttered a single word. She's currently under special protection by the authorities, who are focusing all their efforts on developing her talent.

Of course, there is no superior or inferior talent; it's just that this girl's talent is more suited to creating an advantage when facing powerful opponents. The official team is also preparing for the final battle.

Just like Zhang Yunting and Si Yunming's talents, Si Yunming deals more damage when facing opponents with more health, but Zhang Yunting clearly has the advantage when facing a large number of opponents, or opponents with low health but high damage.

Xu Jiawei's damage output is not as high as Si Yunming's, but when it comes to survivability, no player can match her.

Soon, during her conversation with Si Yunming, they approached the source of pollution. The pollution around them was getting worse. Xu Jiawei looked down at the compass and stopped talking.

He only said that he was almost there.

Si Yunming placed the greatsword in front of him, and the two prepared to face the raging storm ahead.

When they finally saw the true form of the source of pollution, their expressions turned grim. In front of them was a palace-like building, with black smoke drifting from the palace into the surrounding air.

The two men's expressions grew increasingly grim; the enemy inside must be very strong.

Since they had already entered the temple of the God of Fate, if there is only one temple on an island, then it proves that the temple must have been built later. Who would have the time to build a palace? Who else but the God of Darkness?

The fact that he went to such great lengths to build this palace proves that the things inside are very powerful, doesn't it?

If what's inside isn't important, why not just find a cave to act as a source of pollution, like before?

The two exchanged a glance. Of course, there was another possibility: they had both fallen into an illusion. What exactly it was, they would only know once they went inside.

"Be careful," Si Yunming reminded him, then took the lead.

Xu Jiawei nodded and followed behind. Little Grey had already climbed onto Si Yunming's shoulder. Si Yunming had a little octopus on one shoulder and Little Grey on the other.

Rainbow and Mushroom stood in front and behind, protecting the two in the middle, while Pink and Red Earthworm acted as their left and right protectors. The two walked out with the imposing aura of a thousand troops.

The further she went, the more chaotic the scene became, even distorting and changing. Xu Jiawei knew very well that she was in an illusion, but why was she so lucid?

The scene twisted and changed. The illusion here was very low-level. Has the God of Darkness fallen into decline? He even brought out such an illusion.

Previously, she couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion in the illusion created by the Dark God; it even affected her consciousness. But now she is very clear-headed and can recall everything.

Could it be that the God of Darkness made her lower her guard? Or is she already being influenced without realizing it?

Si Yunming also frowned, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion due to the dazzling scene before him.

The system was also closely observing the two, the number one and number two on the leaderboard. It was hoped that both of their strongest combatants would be eliminated.

However, the system is now very surprised. It is impossible for Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming to maintain their consciousness in the face of such intense hallucinations.

The system scanned and observed carefully, finally drawing attention to the Heart of Destiny on Xu Jiawei's body, which emitted a soft white light.

Could it be the effect of this god-tier equipment? The system observed more closely, and if confirmed, it would write this information into the equipment description.

The illusion and reality intertwined, and the surrounding scenery constantly distorted and changed. Xu Jiawei felt like she was going to vomit. It was simply mental pollution. In this distorted scene, Xu Jiawei even saw human faces, twisting and contorting in pain.

The scene before me was like an old television with a bad signal, distorted and flashing with various faces, their expressions constantly changing.

Had she stumbled into a horror movie set? Just as she thought this, she heard "uh...uh..." sounds all around her, like people hiccuping, as if the sounds were right next to her ear.

Xu Jiawei froze, her breath catching in her throat for a moment. Something crawled up her spine and onto her shoulder. She stiffly shifted her gaze and saw a pale, slender hand with blood-red nails slowly resting on her shoulder.

Xu Jiawei got goosebumps all over her body. She didn't know when, but the surrounding environment had become very dark.

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but speed up, trying to shake off the hand on her shoulder.

But what was behind her didn't seem to want to let her go so easily. A strand of hair that didn't belong to her fell onto her shoulder. She didn't dare to turn her head to look at what it was. According to the scenes in horror movies, she knew without thinking that there was a head hanging down next to her.

At the edge of Xu Jiawei's field of vision, she could see a black and white object sticking out. Because of Xu Jiawei's limited field of vision, its face was not clearly visible.

Xu Jiawei broke out in a cold sweat. Although she considered herself quite brave, she was still terrified by the scene and her heart was pounding.

I never expected the God of Darkness to be so cunning and despicable. Evil gods and such can't scare her, but now she's pulling this stunt. But in this situation, who wouldn't be scared?

Startled, she sped up even faster. Suddenly, the head loomed in front of her, whirled around, and Xu Jiawei's heart stopped. What a face it was!

Its face was deathly pale, blood was flowing from its seven orifices, its eyes were completely black with no whites, and a strange smile appeared on its lips.

Xu Jiawei stopped in her tracks, because if she continued walking, she would bump into it.

When Si Yunming heard Xu Jiawei stop walking, he immediately turned around and saw that the whites of Xu Jiawei's eyes had disappeared and turned completely black.
