Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The Mushroom God snorted coldly: "Go, of course we'll go, but don't forget we're going to the Mushroom Temple in a couple of days."

"Yes, Your Excellency Mushroom God, could you please summon the God of Agriculture? I have something I'd like to ask him."

"Why are you looking for him? All he knows is farming." The Mushroom God looked reluctant; he didn't want his successor to be snatched away by the God of Agriculture.

"It's about farming. You know, the seeds that the God of Light gave me back then, I still need to ask him to plant them."

Mushroom God still looked unwilling, but he didn't refute Xu Jiawei's words. He said, "That's all he's capable of. Just wait and see." After saying that, he turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the sky.

Xu Jiawei watched Mushroom God leave, then returned to the base set up by the authorities outside; she had something to discuss with them.

It's about nutrient solution. Seeds need nutrient solution made from the Fountain of Life to grow, but Xu Jiawei has no idea how many bottles of nutrient solution she needs. She's worried that she won't have enough points to redeem the Fountain of Life, or that the Fountain of Life is limited to one per person.

This concerns the ascension of all players and everyone in the world to godhood, so it cannot be taken lightly. She must be fully prepared. She plans to meet with the God of Agriculture to find out the details before going to the official authorities.

Less than half an hour later, the Mushroom God arrived carrying the God of Agriculture. The God of Agriculture's first words startled Xu Jiawei.

"Mushroom Head told me you want to plant seeds?" The God of Agriculture's voice was hoarse and deep.

"God of Agriculture, what's wrong?"

The God of Agriculture waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just from an argument."

The Mushroom God snorted and said, "Tsk, now that I'm gone, you've only gotten louder, and you've made your voices sound like this. You're really useless. If I were here, I could have silenced you completely."

"What did you say, Mushroom Head? Do you want to start a fight?" The God of Agriculture immediately raised his voice.

Seeing that they were about to start arguing again, Xu Jiawei quickly stopped them. She still had something to ask the God of Agriculture, and she couldn't let them fight.

"Lord God of Agriculture, may I ask how much nutrient solution is needed to plant these seeds, and how much Fountain of Life is required for that nutrient solution?"

"To grow these seeds, you'll need at least dozens of bottles, and possibly hundreds. As for the ratio of the Fountain of Life, each bottle of nutrient solution should contain half the Fountain of Life."

It seems that the amount of the Fountain of Life required is not small. Upon learning the information she wanted, Xu Jiawei immediately went to discuss the matter with the official leaders.

After Xu Jiawei recounted the incident, the official team took it very seriously and immediately convened a meeting with all the high-powered players. When Xu Jiawei entered the meeting room, she found that all of the top 100 players on the power ranking were present.

Since a confidentiality agreement had been signed, the official statement did not disclose Xu Jiawei's situation. They only stated that all players were required to exchange for the Fountain of Life, which was related to whether players could become gods.

However, this matter needs to be kept secret, and the official statements are very vague.

However, the players did not object. Only a few hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Xu Jiawei did not expect things to go so smoothly.

However, it's good that this matter was accomplished, and the authorities have also changed the priority of the matter, placing the Fountain of Life first.

Xu Jiawei guessed that the system's supply of Fountain of Life wouldn't be too high. After all, if there were a lot of this item, the system wouldn't have put it in the contribution shop for exchange, and it definitely wouldn't be cheap.

"Yes, I have obtained the consent of the prescription's owner. All players who choose to purchase the Life Spring's assistance today will receive the Godhood Elixir for free upon becoming gods," Xu Jiawei said.

As for the nobles, they have money anyway, so we can just sell to them at a higher price.

The solemn expressions on everyone's faces immediately turned into smiles, and they spoke much more relaxedly. Exchanging for a Spring of Life and obtaining a Divine Elixir was definitely a good deal.

Xu Jiawei has really gone all out, since no one will benefit if they can't gather enough Fountain of Life. As for whether there will be any leftover Fountain of Life, Xu Jiawei won't waste it. She can just drink some herself and study its composition. In case someone else needs Fountain of Life to break through, she can figure out a solution before that happens.

After that, players will no longer need the Fountain of Life to break through their limits.

The meeting continued until the banquet began. When Xu Jiawei arrived, she found Mushroom God already eating as if no one else was around, muttering as he ate, "I must say, the stuff you players make is actually pretty good."

The god of agriculture was practically drooling, but his current physical condition prevented him from eating.

The Mushroom God continued to provoke him, saying, "What a pity, you can't taste it." With that, the Mushroom God picked up another chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mushroom Head, you want to fight? If I can't eat it, then you can't eat it either!" With that, the God of Agriculture pounced on the table and carried it away.

"Put it down! Do you want to die?!" Mushroom God roared and snatched the table back.

The two started fighting, and Xu Jiawei quickly tried to break them up: "Dear Mushroom God, you must respect the elderly and care for the young!"

After all, the image of the God of Agriculture is that of an old man, so it's not wrong to say that he respects the elderly. However, the God of Agriculture is younger than the Mushroom God, so it's also not wrong to say that he loves the young.

It's unclear which of Mushroom God's jokes this made, but he kept laughing, "Respect the elderly and care for the young, hahaha, no problem, no problem."

Mushroom God thought to himself, "Doesn't this mean that although this guy is younger than me, he looks older? Of course, that's fine."

The God of Agriculture was baffled, so he snorted and opened a portal to leave. Before leaving, he said to Xu Jiawei, "You can look forward to your new home."

It seems these deities have already gone to their new home to wait, and Xu Jiawei is getting more and more excited.

Soon Si Yunming and his group arrived, followed by her entire guild. Robert spoke first: "Thank you, Mushroom. I've learned so much from you."

Li Ming burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth: "Sister, thank you, sob sob sob. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now. If I hadn't met you on that island, I probably would have died there, sob sob."

Xu Jiawei was both amused and exasperated, and comforted her, "I was just unlucky back then, which is why it was so dangerous. If you had gone by yourself, it definitely wouldn't have been so dangerous."

"But you saved me more than once, and I remember it all clearly, sob sob."

"Okay, I'll accept your thank you," Xu Jiawei said.

The group chatted and laughed, raising their glasses for a drink. Her gaze met Si Yunming's eyes, and the two smiled at each other without saying a word. The tacit understanding between them allowed them to immediately understand each other's meaning.

"Let's toast to the guild!" Li Ming shouted.

"Cheers!"

...By the time the banquet ended, it was already 11 p.m. There was still an hour left before they could return to their own ships. Everyone was very excited and no one wanted to stay there any longer.
