Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Are there only two high-level pollutants?

Xu Jiawei found it hard to believe. Wasn't there supposed to be at least 10 high-level pollution sources? How come there were only two? After dealing with the Dark God's clone, there were now almost 30 high-level pollution sources, which was 15 times the number of Robert's.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Only two?]

[Robert: Yes, is there a problem?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: No, I guess I'm being targeted by the Dark God; there are just too many High Priests.]

[Robert: Then be careful.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I will.]

Putting everything else aside, Xu Jiawei felt a little envious when she heard that Robert only had two high priests. The difficulty here was 15 times higher, but the rewards were the same, except for a little more experience. She was somewhat jealous.

Moreover, judging from the fighting style of these high priests, it's practically a self-destructive style; no matter the cost, they're determined to kill Xu Jiawei.

Now, activating this advanced pollution source is equivalent to activating an advanced+ pollution source.

Next, Rainbow and her henchmen went to collect supplies, while Xu Jiawei packed her things and prepared to leave to rejoin the official team.

She needed to resolve this natural disaster as soon as possible so she could prepare to condense her divine essence.

Three hours passed quickly, and Xu Jiawei greeted the system and was teleported to the official location.

Xu Jiawei had only seen Commander Zhang for two days, but for Commander Zhang it had been a week since he last saw her. He wanted to thank her but couldn't find her, and his messages went unanswered.

After all, Xu Jiawei was still in a coma at that time and only woke up two days ago.

"Xiao Xu, you've come at the right time. We've located the next pollution center." Commander Zhang waved warmly and continued, "Thanks to you, otherwise our last operation would have failed completely. Now the soldiers in the army all idolize you."

Xu Jiawei shook her head and said modestly, "Not at all, I was just lucky. I only managed to kill that clone by sheer luck."

"Don't be so modest. If you say that, everyone else should just crawl into a hole in the ground." Commander Zhang patted Xu Jiawei on the shoulder.

"Come quickly, let's discuss our next move." Commander Zhang led Xu Jiawei back into the conference hall.

"Commander Zhang, is there a problem with the pollution center this time?" Xu Jiawei asked curiously. Why did Commander Zhang look so preoccupied, with his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with worry even when he smiled?

"To be honest, the location of the pollution center this time is a bit strange. It's actually in the temple of another god, and it has polluted the temple, becoming part of the pollution center. This time it will definitely be more dangerous than last time."

Commander Zhang sighed and continued, "We are also investigating which god originally owned the temple, but we haven't found out yet."

Xu Jiawei immediately realized the severity of the problem. Now, it wasn't just the Dark God's clone; the Dark God had probably already corrupted the remnant soul of the temple's deity. This was no longer a one-on-one fight but a one-on-many fight. They couldn't even defeat one Dark God clone, let alone another deity clone. They were doomed.

"This is really tricky. Do you have a solution?" Xu Jiawei asked.

Commander Zhang shook his head, his expression becoming even more grim: "After dealing with the pollution center last time, our players suffered heavy losses. Even though the remaining players have all improved, our overall strength has still decreased considerably. I'm afraid facing the Dark God this time will be even more troublesome, and we still haven't replenished our defensive items."

Last time he opened the chest, he only got a god-level weapon. Even with support from other countries, he only had eight semi-god-level defensive items. If he attacked like that, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

They're practically living beyond their means right now. The items they get from dealing with one pollution center are nowhere near what they've consumed, not to mention there's another corrupted god whose true nature is unknown. They need to prepare for the worst.

Xu Jiawei nodded and continued, "How's the isolation barrier training going? Is it working?"

"Currently, 134 players have learned the Isolation Barrier and it has played a huge role in the battle against the demonized creatures. They can now easily deal with two demonized creatures instead of just one. Their leveling speed has also increased, and three players have even broken through level 60."

At this point, Commander Zhang finally smiled. "By the way, the isolation barrier seems to work on the Dark God as well. Two people were able to barely save their lives thanks to this skill. We are urging everyone to learn this skill."

Xu Jiawei nodded in agreement and walked into the conference hall with Commander Zhang. Apart from Xu Jiawei, almost everyone else had arrived. Leaders from various countries were sitting in front, and everyone's expressions were very solemn. The casualties and losses at the last pollution center had exceeded their expectations.

Many players were killed instantly before they even had a chance to drink potions, rendering the potions largely ineffective.

Wait a minute, Xu Jiawei looked around and found that someone seemed to be missing. Only Mo Feng was sitting there all alone. Where was Teacher Grace?

She walked over and asked softly, "Mr. Mofeng, why isn't Ms. Grace here?"

Mo Feng glanced at Xu Jiawei; she looked perfectly healthy and seemed to be alright.

He replied, "Sister Grace is still researching and can't come for the time being."

Still under research. Professor Grace is working so hard. But the antidote has already been developed, so what else is there to research now?

Xu Jiawei was a little curious, but she didn't ask. The meeting was about to begin.

The atmosphere at this meeting was noticeably more tense. The people in front were arguing heatedly, neither able to convince the other nor willing to back down, because every decision would cost countless lives.

As Mo Feng listened, he stroked his staff, clearly enamored with it. Xu Jiawei glanced at it; she'd never seen Mo Feng use it before. Could it be a reward from the last event?

After all, the last rankings even included the locals of this world, so their rewards should be the same as the players'. Is this the reason why they love this divine staff so much?

Xu Jiawei immediately looked for Mary, and sure enough, Mary's sword had also been changed. She held it tightly in her arms, looking very precious. She wondered what reward Teacher Grace had received.

The nobles had also changed their equipment; some had demigod-level armor, and others had demigod-level weapons. In short, the reason they were able to sit here again without fear of death was partly because they were attracted by the rewards, since the system really did give out things.

Overall, the rewards were quite good, which satisfied the surviving players and encouraged them to continue heading to the contaminated center.
