Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She was overjoyed to see Xu Jiawei and exclaimed, "Sister Xu, you're here! I'll let you in on a secret: I've been tested and found to have magical talent! My teacher said they can recommend me to study at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy!"

As expected of a child, he said he would tell you secretly, but he shouted it out loud.

Xu Jiawei patted the girl's hair and asked curiously, "Does your school test magical talent?"

Lin Chaoyang shook his head, then nodded, and said, "It didn't happen before, but I don't know what happened. Now all academies have to test magical talent, and people with magical talent, whether nobles or commoners, can go to magic academies to study."

"If someone doesn't have magical talent, they should still be tested for warrior talent and then assigned to another academy."

At this point, Lin Chaoyang became somewhat uneasy. "Sister Xu, has something happened?"

Otherwise, why would the monopolized knowledge and upward mobility channels be reopened? Something truly extraordinary must have happened. The thought filled Lin Chaoyang with unease.

Xu Jiawei thought about it and realized that the people in this world were not just sitting idly by, since no one wanted to die.

Xu Jiawei didn't want to deceive the little girl, so she said seriously, "The future will be very dangerous. You must study magic well to protect yourself and your mother."

The little girl clenched her fists and said firmly, "I will, Sister Xu. You are my idol. I will learn from you and follow in your footsteps!"

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

Lin Chaoyang didn't hold back his disdain and looked at Si Yunming sitting on the other side, saying, "Brother Si, I will also learn from you. I want to become stronger and protect everyone."

Si Yunming stood up and said, "I will teach you swordsmanship."

Swordsmanship and magic do not conflict; in fact, even if one's magical talent is poor, one can still create a Demon Swordsman class.

Afterwards, Lin Chaoyang will go to study at a magic academy. Who were the people at the magic academy before? They were all nobles.

Learning swordsmanship also gives Lin Chaoyang the ability to protect himself and fight back against a group of ferocious nobles.

"Really, Brother Si!" Si Yunming took out a not-so-good sword and threw it to Lin Chaoyang. After all, even if it was a good sword, Lin Chaoyang couldn't protect it.

Si Yunming began to demonstrate, Lin Chaoyang followed behind, and Lin Qin smiled beside him; she was very happy.

Two hours passed quickly. Lin Chaoyang was still eager for more, but Si Yunming had to go back. Even Xu Jiawei had learned a move or two, and her close combat ability had improved.

Li Ming and the others also returned, bringing back a large pile of things, all prepared for the other members of the guild, and also giving a portion to Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming.

Zhang Yunting said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, this is what we prepared for everyone. It's a token of our appreciation, so please accept it."

Xu Jiawei glanced at them and saw that they were just some daily necessities and not very expensive, so she accepted them. As for the other people's items, Zhang Yunting, Li Ming, and Robert planned to give them to each of them one by one.

"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."

"Hey, all this stuff adds up to less than 10 gold coins, it's nothing." Li Ming waved his hand. Bai Yu had already helped everyone, and they had only done such a small thing, it wasn't worth the expense.

Even Xu Jiawei prepared a lot of medicine for everyone; if they were any more stingy, they wouldn't even dare to go out.

Of course, Zhang Yunting also prepared some attribute-enhancing foods for the guild members, while Si Yunming prepared to conduct intensive training for these life-skill players. At the very least, they could not be proficient in melee combat, but they could not be completely ignorant of it.

What if the monsters you encounter aren't afraid of ranged attacks? Learning a move or two will give you the ability to counterattack. Practice diligently during events, and you can save their lives in critical moments.

After saying goodbye, Xu Jiawei began to study the prescription. Since condensing her divine spark, Xu Jiawei had gained new insights into the prescription. She had a general idea, but had not yet connected the dots.

The God of Agriculture's planting has also gotten on track. He stays in the medicinal herb field day and night, and he doesn't even bother to join in the arguments anymore. He spends all his time holding his observation notes and talking to himself like a madman.

The others also felt that arguing was pointless and turned to help the God of Agriculture, and the house finally became quiet.

Xu Jiawei was in tears. Finally, the argument stopped. It was so hard. Xu Jiawei didn't dare to make a sound, afraid of breaking the long-awaited peace.

The next day, Si Yunming went to training, while Xu Jiawei continued to refine potions. After handing over the equipment to Jin Jian, she sold off all the useless equipment and bought a large batch of herbs, which she then put into Rainbow's stomach.

Two days passed peacefully, and Bai Yu's equipment was finally forged. The equipment even had some clever design features: the bow and arrow could be used for both ranged and melee attacks, and in melee combat, it could be transformed into dual swords, increasing their margin for error.

When attacking from a distance, one arrow with random attributes can be stored per minute, up to a maximum of 30 arrows, similar to Xu Jiawei's previous arrows.

Everyone was delighted with the bows and arrows they received and paid Bai Yu high prices for them. Of course, Bai Yu only accepted the cost of the materials and the craftsman's labor, and returned everything else.

Meanwhile, the God of Agriculture also made a breakthrough; the seed sprouted and grew two small leaves. Xu Jiawei placed her hand on the tender sprout and gently stroked it, but unfortunately, it was growing too slowly.

She really wanted to practice making potions as soon as possible; her mind was stuck again, and she just wanted to experiment with it herself.

Seeing Xu Jiawei's troubled expression, the God of Agriculture smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that? Once they're ripe, I'll have the Mushroom God deliver them to you."

Xu Jiawei was taken aback and asked, "Even the Mushroom God can participate in the event?"

"Do you know where the event is? The Temple of the Gods' Heritage. We are gods, going there is like going home for us, isn't it?" However, as soon as the God of Agriculture finished speaking, the sky darkened, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Oh no, I let it slip! You didn't hear anything, you know that?!" the God of Agriculture shouted.

Xu Jiawei nodded immediately, "I didn't hear anything." But she had a feeling that the God of Agriculture was doing it on purpose.

The dark clouds quickly dissipated because the event location was no longer a simple temple of inheritance. The system had rearranged it into a challenge mode, so there was no fear of leaks.

As for when it would start, Xu Jiawei didn't dare to ask. She could only wait. During this time, Xu Jiawei learned many more prescriptions and could now concoct potions with her eyes closed.

She's also learning the formations she's not very familiar with, because she really wants to learn Mo Feng's ultimate move. Mo Feng said he would teach her, but she wants to master all the formations first.

Xu Jiawei can only practice formations more, and Mo Feng also told Xu Jiawei the secrets of constructing multiple formations. Now Xu Jiawei can only practice more.

Finally, on the fifth day, Xu Jiawei felt a familiar spatial fluctuation, and the surrounding space distorted and deformed before her eyes.

The God of Agriculture waved and said, "Come back soon!"

Winged God waved back and said, "Become a god soon, we're waiting for you!"

The Mushroom God snorted coldly, "Don't embarrass me!"

Vulcan retorted, "Don't listen to him. Your life is the most important thing. It's very dangerous there. Be careful!"

"Old firehead, do you want to die? Pretending to be a good guy here!" Mushroom God immediately grabbed Fire God by the neck, and the two started fighting again.

Just as Xu Jiawei was about to say something, the environment changed as she watched the waving crowd.
