Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

This equipment has a simple design; in appearance, it's just an ordinary black magic robe, with nothing particularly special about it.

It is a very understated magic robe. Of course, this may be related to Jemian's background. He does not like the flamboyant and gorgeous style of nobles, so the equipment he makes is mainly simple and unpretentious, so that people cannot tell that it is a high-level piece of equipment.

But the style is still very easy to recognize, just like Xu Jiawei's staff that looks like a knife. Everything is based on practicality, so it is easy to recognize.

This style is somewhat similar to Xu Jiawei's Light Goddess Staff. Even the Light Goddess Staff has some decorative patterns and ornaments.

However, Jamian's equipment really had no decorations at all; it was just a black robe without any patterns.

The style was too basic, which caused Xu Jiawei some trouble, because this black robe was very similar to the clothes of the black-robed man she saw in the future. When she fought the black-robed man, who would be able to tell who was who?

"Forget it, let's upgrade first." Xu Jiawei clicked to use the upgrade ticket, which emitted a soft glow and slowly merged with her black robe.

Hopefully, after advancing to godhood, there will be some changes, at least enough to distinguish me from those black-robed figures.

The fusion was very fast, taking only three minutes to complete. The black robe did not change much, but a distinct golden pattern appeared on the edge of the robe, which was very eye-catching and emitted a flowing light that could be noticed at a glance.

With this gold trim, it's hard for others to mistake it for something else.

Xu Jiawei immediately opened the equipment description.

【Perfect Mage Robe (Upgradeable): A robe made by Master Jemian with multiple functions.】

1. Increases the player's defense by 20% when attacked.

2. When a player receives a fatal attack, the equipment will deplete all its energy, increasing the player's defense by 50% (Note: Energy recovery takes 24 hours).

3. Each day, equipment grants a different skill, randomly changing between increases of 10% in health, strength, defense, stamina, and speed. A new skill is drawn at midnight the following day.

Looking at the long list of features, Xu Jiawei instantly felt that the upgrade ticket was well worth it. Although the equipment did not have any attribute improvements, the percentage-based enhancement features were even more useful than adding attribute points.

In fact, as long as Xu Jiawei's attributes are high enough, the attribute points she gains through percentage increases will be more than those gained through fixed attribute points.

This equipment can be used for a very long time. As her attributes improve, god-level equipment will become less useful, but percentage-based attribute equipment will always be useful.

Once Xu Jiawei's attributes exceed 10,000, even with a 20% attribute bonus, that's still 2000 points. In contrast, fixed god-level attributes only amount to a few hundred points. This can be considered a late-game item, even more useful after becoming a god.

Although it can only add a little over 200 attribute points now, the future looks promising.

Xu Jiawei put on the clothes. Today, the random attribute was speed. Xu Jiawei tried it and felt that her speed was indeed a bit faster than before.

After having thoroughly explored the equipment, Xu Jiawei sat cross-legged on the bed again, closed her eyes, and continued to meditate. She was now a complete homebody.

Not long after, someone came to her and asked her to attend a meeting.

Xu Jiawei went to the conference room without hesitation and found Yan Ling there as well. Was she also involved in this meeting?

"Xiao Xu, you're here. We've been waiting for you." Commander Zhang smiled and patted the empty seat next to him. Xu Jiawei glanced at Yan Ling, whose lips curled into a slight smile. Xu Jiawei turned around and sat down next to Commander Zhang.

After a lengthy meeting, Xu Jiawei finally understood the main points of the meeting.

It was no surprise that Yanling arrived here; she knew Yanling would also be participating in this operation.

The purpose of this meeting was to allow Xu Jiawei to practice coordinating with other experts and the Word of Power in preparation for the next event. Xu Jiawei also met the legendary Mighty King Kong, a man as muscular as a gorilla.

Those arms were so thick they could be as big as her two thighs. He truly deserved to be called a person who had achieved physical sainthood. I wonder just how high his attributes were.

He smiled, revealing eight big white teeth. "Hello, I'm Mighty Gorilla. I don't have any special talents, just great strength. If you need any manual labor, you can come to me." Mighty Gorilla scratched the back of his head and grinned sheepishly.

Xu Jiawei thought that the fifth-ranked Mighty Gorilla was some kind of ruthless person, but to her surprise, he was surprisingly friendly.

"Hello, I am AAA Mushroom Fairy. If you want to buy mushrooms or potions, you can come to me."

"My goodness, playing with mushrooms and potions, are you a witch?" Another person came up to her, speaking in strange Mandarin. This person seemed to be the sixth ranked player. She had a sweet appearance, but the words coming out of that raspy voice made you want to shut her up.

Xu Jiawei turned her head and looked over. Yan Ling introduced, "This is the sixth person. Her talent is silence. When she is silent, her presence is greatly reduced and her speed is greatly increased. She is a natural assassin. She has also received an invitation from the system."

It seems this person was brought here by the power of words. The girl kept chattering away, never stopping for a moment. Is the talent of such a girl silence? How interesting.

Xu Jiawei pulled Si Yunming along and joined the small group with only six people. Among them, Si Yunming, Xu Jiawei, and Robert were from the same guild, the Silent Girl was from a large guild, Mighty King Kong was a lone wolf who had not yet joined a guild, and Yanling was from an official guild.

Since it was an official organization, it was basically led by the power of words. Xu Jiawei didn't have any objections and remained silent, adhering to the principle that she was just a henchman.

But she felt that no matter how perfectly the plans were made now, some unexpected things could still happen when the event started, and they might break up.

This is certainly not Xu Jiawei's jinx, but rather her intuition.

"This is my first time participating in an activity organized by the Contamination Center, so there are some shortcomings. Please bear with me. Now, let's discuss the cooperation plan for this event." Yan Ling took out a map and looked at the group.

Xu Jiawei nodded without saying a word until Yan Ling finished explaining the plan and asked for the opinions of the others.

Xu Jiawei exchanged glances with Si Yunming and Robert, and then Yan Ling asked if there was a problem.

Si Yunming spoke in a cool voice: "The plan is not too problematic, however, the Dark God will not wait for us to deal with him like a wooden stake."

"That's right, he will definitely take action. Even the 'One Kill' skill can't guarantee 100% success. This whole plan is based on the premise that 'One Kill' can be triggered. If 'One Kill' fails to trigger, we will be put on the defensive," Xu Jiawei added.

Every time Xu Jiawei encountered the Dark God's clone, she noticed that he would undergo a significant change each time. Often, dealing with the Dark God required more improvisation, and overly meticulous plans were simply useless.
