Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

It seems these masters are indeed quite capable; they timed their departure perfectly, just as the Dark God was leaving and the priests were moving things.

Now, the players are like cats smelling fish, their eyes shining. This opportunity is like a windfall.

Commander Zhang's words sounded like those of a villain: "Kill them all, leave no one alive."

At Commander Zhang's command, the players charged out like wild horses.

This should be their only chance to surpass Xu Jiawei. According to the system, there is only one more pollution center before it ends. That last pollution center will definitely be full of traps, and the final boss will be several times more difficult.

"Go for it! Try to be number one!"

"You're dreaming! First place is mine!" The crowd surged forward, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, towards the priests.

The priests looked pitiful, weak, and helpless, truly like helpless victims being bullied, but Xu Jiawei showed no mercy.

She ruthlessly eliminated several priests, but she wouldn't hold back against the other players; she wouldn't let any of them go. However, these priests seemed to recognize Xu Jiawei, and upon seeing her, they only thought about running away and saving their lives, which slowed down Xu Jiawei's killing speed considerably.

Even others are gradually catching up with Xu Jiawei's speed, especially Si Yunming, who comes and goes without a trace. Moreover, he is of the dark attribute, so the priests are not very wary of him.

A brutal massacre began, and everyone was bloodthirsty. What used to be a scene of hell was now accepted by them. Everyone treated the priests like chickens and ducks to be killed, and even killing these demonized humans was less psychologically burdensome than killing chickens and ducks.

Just like killing pests like mosquitoes, who would feel guilty? These are just bigger mosquitoes at most.

The mosquitoes were bleeding a lot, and some players even laughed, as they looked quite scary.

It seems that psychological counseling activities need to be started, Commander Zhang thought to himself. Although the players all seemed normal, who knew how twisted their minds were?

Xu Jiawei wanted to quickly deal with these priests so she could go back and properly repair her divine status. Her biggest wish right now was to break through level 80 as soon as possible, ideally reach godhood quickly, and then defeat the Dark God. After that, she wanted to enjoy her retirement life.

Although life in this world is fulfilling and exciting, it's also exhausting. The first feeling after I finish sleeping is guilt; I wasted another night. Now, even resting is done with a sense of guilt. I guess other players are being driven crazy by this too.

That's why things are so crazy now. Even casual and support players are all involved, some even staying up for days and nights, more so than combat players.

After all, they were in charge of all the logistics, including the players' food, potions, and equipment. They were always in short supply, and the energy potions made by the apothecaries were all consumed by these support players themselves.

Now, combatants can't even buy a single stamina potion and have to rest obediently. They even feel that these support players are deliberately messing with them so they can't buy stamina potions.

Suddenly, the energy potion became increasingly scarce in the market, and the price soared. It even became scarce on the mainland. Grace said that normally no one would buy this potion.

Unexpectedly, the players had such a huge appetite that they even sold off centuries-old stockpiles of potion shops, much to the delight of the shop owners.

But soon, the potions in the shop also ran out, and now they couldn't be bought even if you wanted to. What's more, the Apothecary Guild has already cooperated with the players, and now only some casual apothecaries are supplying potions to the potion shop. The purchasing staff are now very worried because they can't buy potions.

Xu Jiawei thought of her potion shop. Although she had prepared a lot of potions, she had been here for so long and didn't know if there were any left. The natural disaster was really delaying the guild's development.

Soon, the pollution center was ended by the players with no deaths and 10 minor injuries. It wasn't that the priest was too weak, but rather that there were too many players. After several pollution centers, the players had become much stronger, and many had even awakened the light attribute, making them more adept at dealing with the dark attribute.

These players awakened more of their attack abilities, and even their awakened Light attribute was much stronger than that of players who had awakened it before, which was quickly put into practice.

Sure enough, pressure makes people improve; they all seem to awaken in moments of life-threatening danger.

With these players possessing the Light attribute, the group found facing the priest much easier.

Incidentally, as expected, the first one was Si Yunming's. He opened the box and obtained a divine-level armor, a light armor that can improve agility and defense, which is quite suitable for him.

This is one of the few god-level equipment that Si Yunming has ever obtained.

In addition, he also obtained an equipment upgrade ticket, which can upgrade demigod-level equipment to god-level. It has to be said that since his luck changed, his luck in opening boxes has improved like a rocket.

He was preparing to upgrade that demigod-level equipment with added attributes.

Xu Jiawei returned to the new base and went into seclusion without even seeing anyone else. After all, the feeling of increasing strength was truly addictive.

She sat cross-legged on the bed and began to mend her divine nature.

Inside the conference room, officials convened an emergency meeting to discuss the next, and final, contamination of the pollution center.

Once the next pollution center is dealt with, this natural disaster will be over, and they will have more time to prepare. Xu Jiawei said that the next natural disaster will be at the bottom of the sea, and the system wants to take drastic measures and destroy the Dark God's home.

But the only problem now is that the next contamination center is very dangerous, extremely dangerous, and they have no chance of winning.

"There are at least two Dark God clones there, and possibly three or four. We simply cannot handle them with our strength," someone said somberly.

"So what do the masters say?" Commander Zhang asked.

Someone spoke even more dejectedly: "A terrible omen; the time has not yet come."

"Then let the master continue calculating, and we players continue leveling up, trying to get as many people as possible to break through level 60, so that we will have a better chance of facing the Dark God."

In the end, the matter could only be settled like this. For the next period of time, almost everyone went to the island to level up. Once the mutated creatures on the island were almost gone, they would move on to another island.

Even the leaders went to level up, mainly because as their levels increased, their attributes would also improve, which would enhance their reaction speed. This was especially important for commanders like Commander Zhang, whose reaction speed was becoming somewhat inadequate as the Dark God's strength increased.
