Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Little Grey has already broken through level 70, and Rainbow, who was the first to follow her, is now the lowest level pet.

Xu Jiawei's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Forget it, let's look at Little Grey's stats first. Little Grey's strength and defense are so low it's embarrassing, but his stamina and speed are frighteningly high, almost exceeding 10,000.

However, the system's evaluation later revealed some information: Almost at 10,000? Almost reaching godhood. Does reaching godhood mean all attributes must exceed 10,000? If I haven't condensed a godhood, can I become a god even if all my attributes exceed 10,000?

Suppressing his speculations, Little Grey's skills remained unchanged and upgraded, but he gained a new god-level skill—a truly cruel god-level skill.

This skill is undoubtedly powerful, much like Rainbow's immortality, but unlike Rainbow, Little Grey's skill is more like a substitute skill. Every time Little Grey is injured, another Emotional Bird will die in its place, which is a heavy gift for Little Grey.

Little Grey no longer felt the joy of completing its breakthrough. The bird was listless and rubbed against Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei sighed and decided to make Little Grey do less dangerous things in the future and try not to use the symbiotic transfer skill.

Of course, this shared state can still be used to purify oneself. Although Xu Jiawei cannot purify Little Grey, the other emotional birds have not signed a contract with her, so they can absorb the pollution in Little Grey's body, and then Xu Jiawei can purify them.

Xu Jiawei couldn't help but sigh, "She truly deserves to be the most precious treasure in the tribe; she's being treated like royalty."

After purifying the emotional birds, she checked the time; it was already midnight. Tomorrow was the day for the meeting, but being able to break through before the meeting started was a good thing.

Her combat power has increased again. With Little Grey, even if she falls out with the locals, no one can stop her from escaping. After all, who can catch Little Grey? This also leaves the player with a way out.

That's near-godlike speed and stamina; they could run for seven days and seven nights without getting tired.

Now all the Emotion Birds are exhausted and barely able to stand, so Xu Jiawei asked Rainbow to take them back.

The light attracted attention, even some leaders, but they didn't ask what was going on.

The base leader walked over and said, "Xiao Xu, it seems you've gotten stronger again. Congratulations. We happen to have something we'd like to discuss with you. After discussing it, we've decided to exchange the special magic and manufacturing techniques researched by the players for an opportunity for equal cooperation. We don't know if it will work out."

They lacked confidence, so they sought Xu Jiawei's opinion again. Who could compare to Xu Jiawei in terms of understanding this world? She thought for a moment, after all, formulas, techniques, and even special magic were still very precious in this world, and it would be appropriate to use these things for exchange.

"I think we can give it a try, but these guys look down on us and might just rob us outright," Xu Jiawei concluded.

Upon hearing this, the base leaders looked even more distressed. This was precisely what they were worried about, and they hoped that Xu Jiawei's current professional identity would make them somewhat wary.

The entire base sprang into action again, with people replying to letters and making preparations. Even as dawn broke, meetings were still being held in the conference room, with everyone in a frenzy and arguing.

The negotiators have been finalized: the leaders of five powerful nations, along with the top fifty experts on the leaderboard, and of course, negotiators. In total, there are over a hundred people. We can't afford to lose face.

Having more people at least makes the morale seem higher.

With a large group of people, they were about to set off. This time, Mo Feng came to pick them up personally. Mo Feng told Xu Jiawei to be careful.

Xu Jiawei nodded, indicating that she had remembered.

Mo Feng opened his mouth again and again, but couldn't utter a single word. Finally, he solemnly handed a gemstone to Xu Jiawei and said, "This is something that my sister Grace and I prepared for you. It can save your life if necessary. Don't try to tough it out."

Xu Jiawei felt her eyes welling up with tears. She solemnly accepted the gemstone. Since Mo Feng and Grace took her as their apprentice, they had treated her exceptionally well.

They didn't know what they could repay them in the future. They treated Xu Jiawei without holding anything back. Although the gem was inconspicuous, it was a demigod-level equipment. Now, most of the demigod-level and god-level equipment had been taken by the system. They didn't know what price they had paid to find this demigod-level equipment.

However, he still kept some things to himself.

Xu Jiawei felt that she might try to trust the two teachers and let them participate when planting the seeds.

After this natural disaster, she will most likely leave again, so the matter of planting seeds still needs to be handled by the God of Agriculture.

However, just in case, if Grace and Mo Feng want to get involved, they should still sign a contract.

After making her decision, Xu Jiawei prepared to draft the contract and discuss it with Grace after returning from the negotiations.

Stepping through the portal, the group arrived directly at an extremely luxurious palace, which was packed with people and filled with the scents of various perfumes.

The palace was enormous, even larger than any temple she had ever seen. Everyone who attended the meeting was either extremely wealthy or of high status, dressed in magnificent attire adorned with all sorts of jewels, and their clothing was quite extravagant in style.

This clothing style is unlike any other ancient Chinese style or the opulent and luxurious European style; in short, it is a style of clothing she has never seen before.

Everyone was stunned by the extravagant scene. They had been to this land before, but only to ordinary towns. They knew how difficult life was for the poor, and they thought this world was simple and austere.

But who would have thought that on the other side of that poverty, these nobles lived a life of extreme luxury?

The food was piled up like small mountains, layer upon layer, but no one touched it. The emaciated and starving waiters next to them kept swallowing their saliva. Just the contrast between the two made it seem like they were in two different worlds.

In contrast, the players were dressed very simply, which was out of place in the meeting place. The players were dressed very formally and were all in uniform, but they still attracted a lot of mocking glances and whispers from the nobles.

Xu Jiawei remained unfazed. She was now the leader because she was a level nine pharmacist and a level nine mage, and at least that status gave her some prestige among them.

As expected, everyone turned their attention away upon seeing the badge hanging on Xu Jiawei's chest. However, some nobles of high-ranking professions showed disdain. What kind of trouble could a pharmacist or mage without any foundation cause? They were noble families with thousands of years of heritage. This commoner was not worthy of speaking to them.
