Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"It was my oversight," Yanling said after a moment of contemplation. She had never fought against the God of Darkness, so her plan was not perfect.

It seems that people really can't survive under protection alone; they must experience trials and tribulations to grow. That's why the authorities let her participate in this operation. Talking with these battle-hardened people taught her a lot.

She always thought that with her ability to control words, she could grasp all situations, but that only applied to opponents below the god level, which made her a little complacent.

No, she needed to adjust her mindset. So the group discussed it again and finally came up with a general plan. As for other things, they would just have to take it one step at a time.

Xu Jiawei stood up and left. She didn't know how many pollution centers there were, but she felt it was almost over.

Si Yunming went to level up again. He's really a leveling maniac lately. However, his team has grown even larger. Not only Li Ming, but also Robert, Yan Ling, and Mighty King Kong have gone with him. Si Yunming had no choice but to let them come along.

He went back to his old profession as a professional team leader. Xu Jiawei was hired as a bodyguard the first time she met him, and she never expected that she would be unable to escape him now.

Si Yunming is leveling up like crazy, and he should be able to reach level 80 soon. Reaching level 80 and condensing his divine spark will be a hurdle for him.

Perhaps no one has had it more difficult than the two of them to condense their divine essence, because they have both forged their own paths and neither of them can use the potion for condensing divine essence.

Because the potion is made based on an existing deity, using the new deity may have unpredictable consequences, potentially causing the deity fragments to shatter directly.

This was something Xu Jiawei came up with after gaining a deeper understanding of pharmaceuticals.

The others drink a bottle of potion and try to fuse the fragments with willpower. If they fail to fuse, the fragments disappear, and they have to condense new divine fragments again.

Everyone has their own difficulties, but Xu Jiawei's are undoubtedly more difficult. From the very beginning, there was a risk of shattering when she was condensing her divine spark. The process of fusion was even more dangerous. If she was not careful, the fragments of her divine spark that she had finally managed to gather together would shatter directly.

Others could achieve this step by using potions, but not by gathering and attracting fragments. Therefore, Xu Jiawei's difficulty lay in this step.

Not only do they face the same risks as normal players, but they also face an additional challenge. This is because the potion can automatically absorb divine fragments, making other players stronger than Xu Jiawei at least in this aspect.

Soon, Yan Ling summoned Xu Jiawei to deal with the natural disaster; they were about to head to the contamination center.

Xu Jiawei was a little nervous. Her combat power had decreased, but the Dark God's combat power might have increased. She might really be unable to defeat him.

However, after seeing Mushroom God spending his days idly at the base, playing with cats and dogs, I felt relieved. There's Mushroom God here, so what's there to be afraid of? It's really reassuring to have Mushroom God around.

At least for Xu Jiawei, the Mushroom God can defend against the Dark God's attacks to the greatest extent possible.

After the source of the pollution was resolved, the portal appeared directly. This time, all of humanity was mobilized together, including the families of the soldiers, who also came to the center of the pollution.

However, the pollution at the pollution center was so severe that these elderly people, who were only at level 20 or 30, simply couldn't withstand such pollution.

Fortunately, there was protective equipment for building the base, which was just enough to tide them over. These people set up camp outside the temple, waiting for the players to finish this natural disaster and then move again. This place was just a temporary stop.

The combat personnel were already lined up. Mushroom God frowned and said, "Something's not right. Keep an eye on things."

This pollution center is very different from the previous ones. It is not disguised at all and is just openly displayed in the open, as if you could reach the pollution center just a few steps away.

Every single one of those previous sources of natural disasters was carefully concealed.

This is practically telling you there's a trap inside, so come and get yourself killed.

But the group had no choice but to go. Perhaps the Dark God knew that even if he set a trap, these guys would rush up without hesitation, so he stopped hiding.

It's like they're blatantly telling you there's a trap inside, whether you're coming or not.

Normally, Xu Jiawei would never come, but this wasn't normal, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go. Mushroom God blocked her way and said, "Just follow behind me."

Even the Mushroom God sensed something was very wrong. Even if there were traps, they couldn't just lay them out so openly. It was as if they were deliberately trying to make them more vigilant, only to launch a surprise attack at the end.

Mushroom God naturally stood at the forefront, especially in this place where there were obvious traps. As the strongest fighter, Mushroom God naturally had to take responsibility.

After walking for half a day, there were still no traps, as if it were an empty place. The more this was the case, the more vigilant everyone became, always feeling that this was the calm before the storm. However, even when they reached the deepest part, there was no change at all.

The group has reached the new center of contamination, but the Dark God remains unmoved. Has the Dark God abandoned this place?

Some people inevitably relaxed their guard and even started chatting and laughing. Xu Jiawei frowned and looked over. Sure enough, those people were nobles who had no discipline whatsoever.

The Mushroom God frowned, turned around, and shouted, "Quiet! Stay alert!"

Just then, a strange change occurred. A bizarre energy attacked with lightning speed. However, its target was not Xu Jiawei and the players behind her. Instead, the energy targeted the Mushroom God standing at the very front.

Before Mushroom God could react, he was enveloped in black light. Commander Zhang immediately shouted, "Quick, save him!"

The Mushroom God is their only hope; nothing can happen to him!

However, after the black energy enveloped the Mushroom God, it quickly disappeared. When the black light dissipated, the Mushroom God still stood there.

Xu Jiawei immediately ran over, looked at the unharmed Mushroom God, and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

The Mushroom God seemed to snap out of his daze: "Woman, what are you doing now? How could anything be wrong with me?"

Seeing that Mushroom God was still full of energy, Xu Jiawei had just breathed a sigh of relief when Mushroom God's next words made her heart jump again.

"Woman, where is this place? Wasn't I refining medicine on the ship? How did I end up here?" Mushroom God looked around at his surroundings.

"Mushroom God, what's wrong?" Xu Jiawei asked immediately.

"Mushroom God? Who's Mushroom God? Are you praising me for being as good-looking as a god? Didn't you call me 'CEO'? Woman, are you out of your mind? Why are you talking nonsense?" Mushroom God scratched his head and said.

Xu Jiawei is fine, but the Mushroom God in front of us seems to have a big problem. What's going on? Has the Mushroom God lost his memory?

"Have you forgotten how we got here?" Xu Jiawei asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Woman, what on earth are you up to?" Mushroom God said, frowning.

"Oh no, oh no, the Mushroom God has lost his memory. Could it be that the Dark God's target this time is actually the Mushroom God?" Xu Jiawei muttered to herself.
