Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

She had originally intended to mediate the fight, and they had managed to maintain a semblance of peace for a while, but a single wrong word caused them to start fighting again. Xu Jiawei sighed, realizing she hadn't had a chance to intervene. She hoped that her home wouldn't be demolished when she returned.

She then looked around. The space around her was not large. She was in what seemed to be the interior of a building. The walls were made of some kind of metal and were shimmering with light. The building had a high-tech feel to it.

The glaring lights made Xu Jiawei squint. This didn't seem like the Temple of the Gods' Heritage. It was so high-tech. Could it be something the system, this high-tech product, had created?

[Ding! Welcome to the Trial to Godhood event. The event is divided into two phases. First, the trial phase: players will go to the temple for trials. Defeating an elite monster will grant 1 attribute point, and defeating a boss will grant 10 attribute points.]

[When all attribute points exceed 1, the second phase will begin. All players with attributes exceeding 1 will compete for the final 100 spots, ultimately receiving a reward that increases their chances of becoming a god.]

After hearing the game rules, Xu Jiawei pondered deeply. So, she had to raise her attributes to 10,000 first, and then try to get a spot later? She wondered what method the system used to increase the probability. It didn't sound very reliable.

Furthermore, we don't know how long the first phase will last, so we should try to get it as fast as possible and raise our attributes to 10,000 as quickly as possible.

Upon hearing the system announcement, everyone showed expressions of surprise. They knew that although they were among the top 1000, their actual attributes were actually less than 1000, and reaching 1000 was already considered a sign of strength.

Now there's a place specifically for farming attribute points, it's like a dream come true. Even if you can't reach the top 100, farming more attribute points is still pretty good, and they've even started to feel secretly pleased.

However, when they actually faced the monsters, they realized how dangerous it was. The elite monsters alone were already as powerful as the High Priest, equivalent to the combat power of a level 70 player. And now the players had no teammates to fight alongside them. Facing level 70 monsters, their chances of survival were slim.

Some were even beaten half to death, losing their fighting ability, and were forcibly teleported back to their homes.

The members of Xu Jiawei's guild were all cautious and timid, relying on the bows and arrows given by Bai Yu to fight a guerrilla war. It took them three whole days to wear down the first small monster. It seems that attribute points are not so easy to obtain.

Bai Jian slumped to the ground, her hand holding the knife trembling slightly. She didn't even have the strength to stand up. Fortunately, Si Yunming had given them, these rookies, intensive training; otherwise, she would have perished here.

In the end, she killed the monster that pounced on her with her twin swords.

[Ding! Player has completed the first level. Proceed to the next level?]

Bai Jian saw that there were still ten hours left on the countdown, so he temporarily closed the interface, adjusted his state, and needed to refine some potions.

After killing the monster, Li Ming felt quite relaxed and thought he could pass a few more levels, so he directly clicked on the next level. The same thing happened to Robert, Zhang Yunting, and Bai Yu, and the group easily entered the next level.

Si Yunming tried to absorb the monster's energy with darkness to restore his stamina. The stamina he had consumed was restored, so he no longer had to worry about not having enough supplies.

After Xu Jiawei fell into a room in an old-fashioned building, she saw the monster in front of her and immediately burned it to ashes with a single Photon Meteor. Without hesitation, she entered the second level, and then, in the same way, the monster was also reduced to ashes.

It wasn't until she reached the tenth floor that the difficulty increased. The boss in front of her was around level 80, with over 1 HP. Xu Jiawei fired a burst of Lightning Meteor but couldn't kill it.

So she released several more Photon Meteors, completely burning the monster in front of her to death. With 10 attribute points in hand, Xu Jiawei added them all to her attack.

She plans to stack each attribute to 10,000 one by one, starting with strength, since strength is linked to attack power, and she can quickly kill monsters with high health.

With the help of the Photon Meteor, Xu Jiawei fought her way up to the 100th floor. She was panting heavily and too tired to stand up.

"Forget it, I'll rest for a while." Xu Jiawei ate something and sat on the ground to rest. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like the monsters were getting stronger the more she fought them, and even her health had changed.

In other words, her health has increased. Compared to the 100th floor, there is not much change, only an increase of 1000 health points. What about when she reaches the 1000th floor or the 10000th floor?

In short, the system can't let the monsters stay weak forever. Xu Jiawei's attributes are increasing, and the monsters are also increasing, which is understandable.

After clearing 100 floors, Xu Jiawei gained nearly 200 attribute points, which was great. Moreover, there was an unexpected surprise: Xu Jiawei discovered that her divine spark was condensing faster, and it might not even take a month for the divine spark to be fully formed.

After resting, Xu Jiawei continued playing.

After defeating the tenth level, Li Ming and his companions were exhausted. The monsters' combat power had terrified them, and the battles were fraught with danger. However, they were finally able to rest for a while. After defeating the tenth level, they had three days to recover from their injuries, which was a good time to summarize their experience and figure out how to deal with the monsters in the next level.

Everyone is struggling to climb the tower. Some are still stuck on the first level, while others, like Xu Jiawei, have already reached level 100.

While the qualified players went to the event, the other players went to the new natural disaster. This time, unsurprisingly, it was underwater. With the system's protection, the players could barely move underwater.

However, due to the pressure of the seabed, they can only exert half of their strength, and with most of their combat power gone, they are now living a very difficult life.

Commander Zhang sighed more than once, wishing that Xiao Xu and the others were still here. In fact, Commander Zhang could also try to qualify for the Godhood Trial, but he voluntarily stayed behind. After all, the Heavenly Disaster area also needed manpower, and besides, he was no longer young. These opportunities should be left to the younger generation.

Some high-level players chose to stay. Rather than competing with others for the qualification to become a god, it's better to stay in the Calamity and try to grab the top spot on the leaderboard.

The resources given by the top player are incredibly generous, far better than those of the bottom-ranked players in the Trial of Godhood. I've heard that many players didn't even make it past the first level and were immediately teleported back home, arriving in the World of Calamity before they could even recover from their injuries.

These guys need a lot of time to recover from their injuries, which has even delayed their climb up the rankings in the natural disasters, and dozens of people have already been teleported back.

Some players failed at the tenth level. After hearing that they only got a few attribute points, the remaining players immediately stopped being envious. They could easily get these by fighting natural disasters and pollution sources, so why should they be envious? Besides, defeating the tenth level only gave them 10 attribute points.
