Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

So many people died, but it didn't scare people away.

"I said no, and that's final!" A furious roar came from the front, startling Xu Jiawei. What was going on? Why was they making such a racket?

"This is our only way. If we encounter the Dark God again, how can we evade his attacks? Someone has to sacrifice themselves!" another voice said.

The argument intensified, and Xu Jiawei could no longer hear clearly.

"Everyone, quiet down." Grace walked in from the door, and the entire room fell silent instantly as everyone looked at the genius pharmacist.

Last time, thanks to the potion she developed, they were able to get the Dark God to use his life-saving skill ahead of schedule. Now, Grace's prestige is very high among the entire player community.

"Master Grace, has your research yielded results?" someone asked excitedly, standing up as well.

Grace smiled and nodded. At this moment, Grace's clothes were disheveled, her hair was like a bird's nest, as if she hadn't taken care of it for a long time, and she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"This is all thanks to the Dark God for giving me the inspiration to create a potion with a similar life-saving ability to his." Grace gently placed the potion on the table, and everyone immediately surrounded it.

Xu Jiawei was also very interested. Wasn't this similar to her golden body? Curious, she asked, "Teacher Grace, can this potion block fatal damage? Or does it make one invincible?"

Grace shook her head and said, "No, that's not it. After all, that's god-level power. I can't fully analyze it. This is just a low-level substitute developed based on the Dark God's life-saving skills. It can withstand 2000 points of damage, but it can't withstand any more."

Everyone's eyes lit up. Two thousand points! That was already very good. It was equivalent to having a shield that could withstand 2000 points of damage. With this potion, their survival would be guaranteed when facing the Dark God.

Unless targeted by the Dark God, they are very difficult to kill.

However, Xu Jiawei still asked the most important question: "Teacher, are the ingredients for this potion easy to find, and is it difficult to make?"

Everyone immediately held their breath, which was their biggest worry. If the potion could only be produced in small quantities, it would be of no use at all.

"The potion is not difficult to make; any level eight pharmacist can do it. I have already asked the Pharmacist Association to speed up the process so that everyone can get a bottle. Don't worry, the herbs are from the Pharmacist Association."

After all, the Pharmacist Association did not go to the battlefield. Even if they had, it wouldn't have made much difference. They were just weak pharmacists who could only provide material support in these areas, making them the most reliable logistical support.

"That's good. It seems things aren't as serious as we thought." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in their chairs.

Grace shook her head and said, "The potion can only save you once. There's no way to save you any more than that." Last time, the Dark God used so many deadly moves, and it was too dangerous to be able to block it only once.

Everyone fell silent again. It seemed they still needed to train the isolation barrier properly and should not use this potion unless absolutely necessary.

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone should head back now and focus on leveling up." The meeting shouldn't waste the time of these high-level players. The leaders can continue their discussion later, while the rest of us go level up.

Grace then took out a prescription from her spatial storage and handed it to Xu Jiawei, saying, "Disciple, you should study it on your own. I'm very busy and don't have time to teach you."

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Xu Jiawei accepted the prescription and nodded emphatically.

Suddenly a guard rushed in, shouting, "Sir, those nobles have sent a messenger with a letter!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately stopped in their tracks. Hadn't they fallen out with those nobles? What did it mean that they were being sent a letter now?

The leader nodded and said to the person next to him, "You read it."

Fortunately, everyone was still there, so we could work together to come up with a solution.

The man read the letter once, his expression strange, and said, "Sir, they want to cooperate with us again, and they're being very humble." He then read the letter aloud.

It seems that they have gained prestige by dealing with the Dark God's avatar. These nobles who were originally waiting to see them make a fool of themselves have been thoroughly humiliated. They also discovered that Mo Feng and his group obtained a god-level weapon, and they are extremely envious. Naturally, they don't want to miss this opportunity.

That's god-level equipment. Even though they've been passed down for thousands of years, no noble family has ever possessed god-level equipment.

The commander smiled and said, "It seems we don't need to worry about insufficient combat power this time. Let's reply and invite them to come and discuss."

Commander Zhang felt much better. Last time they negotiated, these nobles looked down on them, but now, fortunes have changed; they've come begging to him. "This time we're in control! How satisfying!"

"Old Zhang, don't get too excited yet. Those bastards are probably up to something. We need to be on high alert when it comes to negotiating cooperation." The base leader was very happy, but he was also very rational.

"Alright, stop crowding around here, everyone disperse. Leave this to us, you all go and level up." The commander waved his hand with a smile, his fatigue from the past few days dissipating considerably.

Xu Jiawei went outside. It seems the matter has been resolved. Now it's up to the authorities to make arrangements.

After leaving the conference hall, Xu Jiawei asked Zhang Yunting for a quiet room to prepare for seclusion. As for her pets, she let them go with Si Yunming and the others to level up. Xu Jiawei, guarded by Rainbow, tried to condense a fragment of divine power, which was her most important task. Without condensing the fragment, she wouldn't even be able to break through to level 80.

Xu Jiawei was absolutely certain that once she dealt with the next source of pollution, she would be able to reach level 80, at which point she would be stuck at that level again. She needed to condense her divine essence as soon as possible.

But this matter can't be rushed; you can't rush things. We have to take it slowly.

Xu Jiawei sighed and calmed herself down. She had to get into that state. She recalled how she felt when she faced the Dark God. There was only one thing in her mind: to kill the Dark God and make Little Grey succeed. Only this belief supported her.

Xu Jiawei's aura changed at this moment. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she could no longer perceive anything around her. She entered a state of inner vision. No, that's not right. The previous state was different from inner vision. At that time, she seemed to have merged with the world.

How did she do that? With her powerful mental strength, she could recall every detail without a single mistake. She thought about it carefully and realized that she should resonate her body's energy with the center of the world, integrate herself into this world, become this world, and take control of this world.

Of course, Xu Jiawei can't do that now, but back then she could really access the rules of the world, as if she could use and control them.
