Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Would it be helpful to consult a master about this?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"We just recruited a master with a talent for changing one's destiny. He used to do this kind of work. You can go see him in a bit," the base leader said.

Xu Jiawei nodded. As long as the person they found was reliable, that was fine. Mushroom God was a little speechless. Even he couldn't solve the problem, so how could he expect any player to solve it? But as long as his heir was happy, that was all that mattered.

The base leaders could only watch helplessly as Xu Jiawei stumbled and fell with every step she took, while Mushroom God dealt with the threats around her from time to time. In just 100 meters, she encountered at least dozens of deadly attacks.

Finally, the base leaders were still worried, so they led the way and took Xu Jiawei to the outside of the master's house.

The leader knocked twice on the door and called out, "Master Yao, are you there?"

Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed inside the room. As the doorknob turned, a man dressed as a Taoist priest poked his head out. Upon seeing Xu Jiawei, his expression immediately changed drastically. He slammed the door shut with a loud "bang," almost trapping the leader's hand.

"Master Yao, what do you mean? You almost pinched my hand!" The base leader, who had nearly broken his hand, questioned him angrily.

"What have you brought? Take him away! Get away from me!" the person inside said in a muffled voice.

"We called you here to resolve this matter, but instead, you've hidden yourself away," the base leader scolded.

"Old Bai, don't say I didn't tell you, this bad luck is soaring to the sky, anyone who gets close will be affected, I advise you to stay away from her!" The person in the room wasn't angry, but kindly advised.

Old Bai looked at Xu Jiawei awkwardly and said, "Well, if he can't solve it, let's go find another master."

Xu Jiawei waved her hand and said, "No need. The others probably won't be of much use either. Besides, my bad luck is almost over. I'll find a place to hide for a while. Don't worry about me."

After saying that, she was pulled away by the Mushroom God. Finally, on the Mushroom God's advice, Xu Jiawei hid in a wooden house. If she hid in a cave, she would be buried inside if the cave collapsed. The same applies to other houses. If she hid in a wooden house, at least she wouldn't be killed if the wooden house collapsed.

Mushroom God had this in mind, but man proposes, God disposes. A group of demonized humans appeared out of nowhere, brandishing daggers and raising them without a word, intending to stab Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei was puzzled. Why were there so many demonized players in the base? The base had been infiltrated by the Dark God and was riddled with holes. It was already outrageous enough that just one had appeared, but now more than a dozen had suddenly arrived. Xu Jiawei suggested that Lao Bai conduct another self-inspection of the base.

Left with no other option, Xu Jiawei had to fight.

There wasn't so much danger in the temple, so why are all sorts of accidents happening so frequently now that we're in a safe place?

Could it be that the strange energy field inside has a restraining effect on my strange luck?

However, it's too late to go back now. The skill that used to kill those nobles with perfect precision is now like being drunk, perfectly avoiding the vital points of these demonized humans.

Not only could she not kill them, but she also kept tripping while trying to avoid their attacks, perfectly missing the best time to dodge. This was the first time she had faced such a low luck value while awake. Mushroom God had really had a hard time before, and it was really not easy for her to survive.

Finally, after Xu Jiawei released her second golden body, she felt that her bad luck was about to end, and correspondingly, her attacks became more and more accurate.

After dealing with these low-level demonized humans, Xu Jiawei collapsed to the ground, exhausted. This was the first time she had ever been so tired from killing these low-level demonized humans. Her bad luck was terrifying; it wasn't just bad luck, it was negative by several hundred, to the point that she was practically owing several lives.

It's gotten to the point where it's angered both heaven and man. Even the heavens can't stand it anymore and want to kill her. But she hasn't done anything wrong, yet she's being targeted like this. It just goes to show how terrifying the effects of this skill are.

She stood up and was about to leave when the clan leader flew back to Xu Jiawei's side, stood on the windowsill, and looked at her, or rather, looked at Little Grey through her.

Xu Jiawei asked, "You're back too? Huh, why are you the only one here? Where are the other Emotion Birds?" Xu Jiawei looked out the window, but apart from the clan leader, there were no other Emotion Birds in sight.

"I've come to say goodbye. We're entrusting Little Grey to you. We trust you completely."

Xu Jiawei was taken aback and quickly asked, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

The clan chief seemed to smile and said, "Don't worry, we only want to stay in the temple and guard the last home of the gods. The system has already helped us purify the temple. After that, we will stay in the temple and rebuild it. We cannot continue to follow you."

"Little Grey has broken through level 80, and our mission is complete. Goodbye, and perhaps we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future," the clan leader said with a smile.

Although it was smiling, there was always a lingering sense of loneliness in its voice.

Xu Jiawei withdrew her hand that had been trying to stop her. Hadn't she long anticipated this day?

After reclaiming the temple, the Emotion Birds' decision to leave was something she had anticipated; however, she hadn't expected things to happen so quickly.

"Take care, live well. I don't want Little Grey to live alone in this world." Xu Jiawei was afraid that these emotional birds would do something rash and go to follow the gods they believed in.

"Rest assured, we will protect this world for the God of Emotions. If you need us, we will do our utmost to help. We will not let the God of Darkness destroy this world." The clan leader turned to look at Xu Jiawei, then flew into the sky, turning into a small black dot and disappearing into the distance.

Suddenly feeling a bit empty after being separated from so many companions, Xu Jiawei immediately released Rainbow, Little Pink, and Red Earthworm, who then surrounded her.

They played a significant role in the battle just now. The three of them held back most of the priests and messengers, preventing them from having any chance to hinder the players.

When the Mushroom God discovered that his mushroom followers were actually the lowest level in the entire field, he clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do, because the Fountain of Life had indeed disappeared, and even if he went to look for it, he wouldn't be able to find it.

The more he looked at the rainbow, the more annoyed he became. He could only hope that the system still had the Fountain of Life. If that happened, he could directly make the mushroom break through level 80 and make it the first pet to become a god.

Mushroom God withdrew his gaze, and Xu Jiawei opened the chat channel and immediately contacted Lao Bai, asking him to notify the high-combat-power players to hold a meeting. She wanted to announce the news so that everyone could work together to find a solution.

After receiving Xu Jiawei's message, Lao Bai immediately relayed the message, and the players organized themselves at an incredibly fast pace—their efficiency was simply unparalleled.
