Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The misunderstanding arose in such a wonderful way. Mushroom God was afraid that Xu Jiawei wouldn't have enough to eat, so he fed her a lot of energy, which resulted in Xu Jiawei being stuffed.

So the fragments of divinity in her mind began to take effect, absorbing the excess energy. When Mushroom God saw that this energy was not enough for her to absorb, she could only continue to increase the energy output. Xu Jiawei could not withstand it and could only let the fragments of divinity continue to absorb.

This process repeated itself several times until Mushroom God's inventory couldn't handle it anymore. Fine, if they can't eat their fill, so be it; he simply couldn't afford to feed them anymore.

So the energy supply was stopped, and the energy finally disappeared. Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost burst several times from being overwhelmed.

After digesting the energy, she finally opened her heavy eyelids. Although she felt weak all over, it was better than lying there unable to move.

Little Grey immediately came over and rubbed against Xu Jiawei, conveying the message that Master had finally woken up.

Xu Jiawei patted its head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Little Grey was alright. However, she was shocked to find that Little Grey's level had suddenly jumped to level 77, while her own level had jumped to level 79, just one step away from reaching level 80.

How can she level up so quickly? Could it be from the experience gained from defeating the Dark God? But isn't experience supposed to be split equally? Judging from the experience she's gained so far, it doesn't seem like it's split evenly at all.

Xu Jiawei quickly checked the system messages and immediately understood the reason. It turned out that the system was still distributing rewards based on contributions, and the experience points were distributed according to the percentage of contributions.

Just like Xu Jiawei, who delivered the most crucial blow, and even Little Grey directly killed a Dark God with nearly half health, this contribution, when converted to Xu Jiawei, directly made her contribution account for 50% of the total, making her the undisputed number one.

Second place goes to Grace. The potion's effect was beyond imagination, directly helping to resolve the Dark God's life-saving skill. She is also the well-deserved second place. Next is Mo Feng and Mary.

The fifth place wasn't Si Yunming, but rather Commander Zhang, who protected most of humanity. He secured fifth place by sacrificing over ten demigod-level equipment pieces and one god-level piece. Hopefully, the rewards will make up for the official losses.

Sixth place goes to Si Yunming. His role in controlling the game greatly helped the players. Further down the list, the contribution percentage drops significantly; from sixth place onwards, no one's contribution percentage exceeds one percent. It decreases further down the list.

Although Xu Jiawei was in first place, she didn't receive 50% of the experience points. The system had a guaranteed minimum reward, so she received less experience. But even with less experience, Xu Jiawei was still close to level 80.

As the main attacker, Little Grey will soon reach level 80. When she does, she will have more leverage to confront the Dark God's clone.

Aside from the upgrade, Xu Jiawei didn't feel any other changes. She didn't even remember the divine fragment absorbing energy. It could only be said that the change was subtle, and she happened to lose consciousness, so she didn't know about it.

Of course, the skill has changed. The transformation from fortune to misfortune has become an active release, which is a good thing, as it allows her to use the skill more proactively to launch attacks.

Although she now has initiative, it doesn't mean the passive effect disappears; it can still be automatically triggered when she encounters danger.

This skill change allows Little Grey to initiate attacks, slightly increasing the chance of a one-hit kill.

Xu Jiawei stood up, intending to thank the Mushroom God, but was greatly surprised when she saw the Mushroom God's appearance.

"How did you get yourself into this state?" Mushroom God was filthy from head to toe, looking like he had just crawled out of a mud pit.

"Who do you think it is because of? You're really bold enough to manipulate your luck so easily. I think you really don't want to live anymore." Mushroom God said irritably. Anyone would be unhappy if they were hit by a stone a hundred times. There are traps everywhere. If you fly into the air and get hit by a stone, the ground you land on will definitely be a swamp.

He gradually turned himself into this.

Xu Jiawei touched her nose. She knew that the skill of changing fortune and misfortune had a lot of side effects, but she didn't expect that even the gods couldn't withstand such strange luck. There was nothing she could do about it. No matter how big the side effects of the skill of changing fortune and misfortune were, she couldn't possibly not use it.

If I don't use this skill, I'll die immediately. If I do use it, I can survive a little longer, even though the dangers I'll face afterward will be greater. Every little bit of time I can live is a good thing.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't expect my luck to affect you as well," Xu Jiawei immediately admitted.

But the mushroom god became even more dissatisfied upon hearing the apology. He immediately said, "What a joke! How could your little bit of bad luck affect me? Don't take yourself too seriously!" The mushroom god, such a proud deity, immediately retorted when he heard someone say that he was no good.

Xu Jiawei was at a loss for words and could only observe Mushroom God's expression to adjust her speech.

"I misspoke. My luck couldn't possibly affect you. I just feel bad for causing you trouble by saving me." Xu Jiawei carefully adjusted her words. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mushroom God raise the corners of his mouth. This guy gets angry as soon as he hears something he doesn't want to hear.

But he's also very easy to appease, so it's better to go along with him to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The Mushroom God was quite pleased: "It's alright. After all, you are my successor. Unless I die, no one can cause you any trouble. If anyone does, just tell me, and I will seek justice for you." The Mushroom God patted his chest to assure him.

Although the Mushroom God was covered in dirt and looked just like a beggar, his words warmed her heart. This was the first time someone had ever spoken to her like that.

When she was weak, no one helped her. But as she grew stronger, almost no one could help her anymore; she was the one helping others.

It must be said that although Mushroom God is not very reliable in some situations, Xu Jiawei felt a long-lost sense of family affection from him.

At first, she only made it as a tool for grinding medicine, but later, Xu Jiawei really regarded it as an important person.

"Alright, since you're alright, I'll be leaving now. Call me again for the next operation; I'm very busy." Mushroom God said, preparing to return. He had given all the treasures to Xu Jiawei; he still needed to upgrade, find new treasure troves, and dig up the graves of other gods.

There's no time to waste here. In any case, he must use this time to level up so that he will have the strength to confront the resurrected Dark God.

Xu Jiawei nodded and immediately said goodbye to Mushroom God. Mushroom God even looked back and wondered why he hadn't said "wait" this time, feeling a little uneasy.
