Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

This is something that must be done. Sometimes, it's just a difference in information that gives the Dark God an opportunity to take advantage.

"The propaganda department will spread the word, making sure everyone knows, to dispel any other thoughts of joining the dark camp."

"But if we announce the news of the world's destruction, wouldn't that cause chaos among the players?" someone weakly retorted.

Old Bai immediately retorted, "Even so, it's better than more people choosing to betray us. Everything should be focused on thwarting the Dark God's plan. As for everything else, it's all trivial."

In the end, the matter was settled. As for how to stop the Dark God from absorbing the world's energy, there was still too little information. After discussing it for a long time, no one could come up with a solution.

The most important thing now is to thwart the Dark God's plan to win people's hearts.

As expected, the announcement caused a huge uproar among players, and the chat channel hadn't been this lively in a long time.

[Damn Dark God: Holy crap, does that mean we'll all die? What are we going to do then? Fight to the death?]

[Flying Sky: Upstairs, your name is so crude!]

[Damn Dark God: Is that so? I think it suits me quite well.]

[Jingwei: Well, since we're already certain of our future demise, what's the point of all this effort? Let's eat and drink as we please, and then just wait to die.]

[After the rain: That's not how it works. Since we already know the ending, let's find a way to change it.]

[Fried Rice: You're right. The official announcement of this is precisely to solidify the stance of those who are wavering. Maybe if fewer people join the dark side, we can win.]

[The aroma of tea fills the air: Is what the official sources say true? Are they lying to us? I'm starting to doubt them.]

[Bumblebee: What do you have that's worth the official deception? The official stance has always been for humanity. Are you perhaps a demonized human in disguise?]

[The aroma of tea fills the air: How could that be? I just wanted to have a backup plan. In case my life is in danger, joining the Dark God's camp is also a viable option.]

[Ye Yezi: This information was obtained by Boss Mushroom at great personal risk. Even if you don't trust others, you can't distrust Boss Mushroom, can you?]

【How come you have so much water, ocean?: Oh my god, it's from Mushroom Boss! Then I have to believe it. My life was saved by him, I have to believe him.】

[The aroma of tea fills the air: No, you really believe her like that? What if she has a secret she's hiding, and is just trying to use us?]

[Bumblebee: Hey upstairs, you're not some spy infiltrated among humans, are you? Where are the officials? There's a spy here.]

[The aroma of tea fills the air: Of course not! You have to believe me, how could the Dark God destroy the world? That mushroom must have made a mistake.]

【How come there's so much water in the ocean: Haha, is he finally letting it go? Everyone remember this person's ID, 3784546, just in case he changes his name, we'll still be able to recognize him.】

[Compound Fertilizer: I trust the boss. Even if my life is in danger, I will not betray humanity.]

[No mortgage anymore: That's right, I'll never be a traitor.]

[Prosperity: +1]

Of course, there are also quite a few corrupted players who want to stir up trouble and split the player community, but the players who have survived are all shrewd and no one will fall for their tricks.

Some players who are not thinking clearly have already died. As long as the remaining players explain the pros and cons and present the evidence, they will make the most rational choice, which will greatly reduce the number of players joining the dark faction.

......

After the meeting, Xu Jiawei was preparing to leave. The atmosphere on the chat channel was currently quite positive, so there was no need for them to resort to any other tactics.

The Mushroom God stopped her and said, "You're already level 80. Hurry up and finish condensing your divine essence. I can't help you with this; you'll have to do it yourself."

If possible, Mushroom God really wanted to pass on his divine spark to Xu Jiawei, but it was clear that if Xu Jiawei condensed her own divine spark, her potential would be much higher. He couldn't help with this; it was up to Xu Jiawei to figure it out herself.

Xu Jiawei nodded. She would go into seclusion after returning home, and they couldn't go to other pollution centers for the time being, so they had to rest and recuperate.

However, since the two pollution centers were resolved, Xu Jiawei could clearly feel that the pollution around her had lessened. The pollution level of the advanced pollution sources was now even lower than that of the original advanced pollution sources. The air around her was much fresher, and some people could even go out at night. As a result, many people simply stayed outside to level up.

But this had nothing to do with Xu Jiawei. The authorities arranged for her to be in a secluded and quiet location so that she could comprehend the teachings undisturbed.

Upon arriving at the room, she discovered that although the location was remote and the layout was simple, the energy inside was extremely concentrated, which pleased Xu Jiawei.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the treasure chest she had recently acquired, rubbed her hands together, and prepared to open it.

She hoped that the equipment she obtained from opening the chests could be a gift to Si Yunming and the others. She first took out the colored treasure chest, because only colored treasure chests could contain good items, and she opened it without any hesitation.

[Ding! Congratulations on opening the chest and obtaining: God-level Luck Balancer *1, Random God-level Skill Learning Ticket *1]

The colorful treasure chest only yielded two items. After opening so many chests, Xu Jiawei had figured out the pattern: the better the items inside, the less there was in the chest.

I only got two things from this box today, but they're definitely good. This god-level item, the Luck Balancer, is perfect for Si Yunming.

It's like wishful thinking; this equipment allows players to maintain their luck at the average level of all players. Once equipped, there's a seven-day cooldown before you can remove it, and a three-day cooldown before equipping it.

It's a pity that if the cooldown time wasn't so long, it would also be suitable for Xu Jiawei. She could equip it while she was suffering from the aftereffects of the fortune-misfortune transformation, and then remove it once the aftereffects disappeared.

Unfortunately, the equipment also has a three-day cooldown period. By the time the equipment is equipped, it's too late, and the aftereffects of her skill will have long since disappeared.

Therefore, this equipment is very useless to Xu Jiawei. Although it is useless to Xu Jiawei, it is an invaluable artifact for Si Yunming. If he keeps equipping it, he can maintain the average luck value of all players, which is much better than his current luck.

In short, it's a god-tier item that's perfect for unlucky people.

Xu Jiawei sent a private message directly to Si Yunming.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Three-point Bro, this item is for you. It's useless to me, but it suits you perfectly.]

When Si Yunming saw the lucky item, he was about to refuse, but after reading the equipment's description, he deleted what he had typed and simply replied "okay".

Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief. Si Yunming looked at the equipment description and realized that this item was indeed useless to Xu Jiawei. With such a long cooldown time, unless she used it continuously, it was just a useless item that was neither useful nor worth discarding.
