Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Seeing her friends made Xu Jiawei feel a little better.

Just as she was preparing to launch a counterattack, a sudden change occurred.

The little girl mixed in with Si Yunming's group took out a black dagger and charged straight at Xu Jiawei.

Thanks to her talent, her attributes improved significantly, and she arrived behind Xu Jiawei in an instant.

Even if she gets criticized, as long as she firmly believes in her heart that the couple she's shipping is real, her attributes will improve.

Si Yunming shouted, "Watch out!"

He instantly teleported, raised his greatsword, and flicked the dagger away. Then he raised the greatsword and attacked the girl.

"No!" the middle-aged woman in the group shouted. All along the way, she had truly treated this girl as her own child, and no matter what mistakes the child made, she was determined to protect her.

She immediately activated her ability and rescued the girl from Si Yunming's sword in an instant.

Xu Jiawei frowned. It was like this again. There was never anything that made her comfortable.

The girl narrowly escaped death and was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Si Yunming stood in front of Xu Jiawei, coldly looking at the young girl in front of him. Li Ming was right, this person was indeed mentally ill.

Seeing how close Si Yunming and Xu Jiawei were, and how intimate their behavior was, the girl's fear of death lessened considerably, replaced by anger towards Xu Jiawei.

If the situation hadn't been so dire, she would have really wanted to yell at Xu Jiawei, asking what kind of person she was, daring to break up the couple she was shipping, when male-male relationships are clearly the true love.

Unfortunately, the strength of the two people in front of her left her speechless. Xu Jiawei felt that this girl might have some mental issues, or even be a little dim-witted, wondering why she was glaring at her for no reason.

It's as if it's being controlled by something.

Xu Jiawei decided to take a good look at what was going on. Anyway, she had her companions helping her now, so she didn't need to do anything.

Xu Jiawei opened her mind's eye again and looked at the girl in front of her. A pink energy mixed with black energy was attached to her head.

These energies controlled the girl's actions, but Xu Jiawei forcefully defeated them, breaking them down into pure spiritual energy.

Fortunately, this energy was not naturally formed, so Xu Jiawei could easily deal with it.

Now that we've solved this one, we can't let the others go unaddressed.

Xu Jiawei looked around at all the children, and sure enough, they all had various kinds of fog in their minds, which she could only deal with one by one.

These fogs subtly influence people's perception.

Xu Jiawei was speechless. The system had been thoroughly infiltrated, yet it hadn't noticed? It was only after such a complication that it started thinking about a solution.

After shattering the energy, the girl suddenly felt her previously chaotic mind become much clearer. Oh my god! What was she doing? Why had she trusted that dark figure like she had lost her mind before?

She usually just watches cartoons; she would never dare to ship real people. Was she the one who lost her mind before?

She wanted to slap herself for letting the Dark God take advantage of her and control her.

Looking at Si Yunming, who was still staring at her with a giant sword that seemed ready to kill her at any moment, the girl swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "I'm sorry, I was controlled and did something to hurt you."

When Xu Jiawei saw the black mist in their minds, her anger subsided considerably. Not wanting to argue with these guys anymore, she looked away.

The girl mustered her courage and said, "Thank you for helping me regain consciousness. I will definitely repay you!" After saying that, the girl quickly helped the middle-aged woman up, tears welling up in her eyes.

This aunt was clearly the kindest to me, so why couldn't I see that at the time, causing her to get hurt?

Xu Jiawei was utterly disgusted with the God of Darkness. He didn't even spare children. He didn't hesitate to use mental pollution on these children with insufficient cognitive abilities, exploiting the loopholes in their minds to lure them into making mistakes.

Xu Jiawei wanted to curse, but she couldn't utter the words; she could only wait for the system to break in.

"Are you alright?" Si Yunming asked worriedly; he was too late.

Xu Jiawei shook her head, then looked at the players who were attacking.

Dozens of people came this time. With so many players unable to resist the temptation, it's no wonder the players ultimately failed.

More than 500 people attended the second phase of the event, and Xu Jiawei killed nearly 100 of them.

She sighed, wondering if she had overestimated these players.

"Boss, we're here to help you too. We absolutely won't let those scoundrels succeed!" Xu Jiawei said.

A large group of people, along with their pets, clashed with those who came to kill the boss, and the situation instantly turned around.

"Good, good, good, they're all good kids!" Commander Zhang went from initial disappointment to tears. Some beasts were just a few isolated cases; most people knew what to do.

Xu Jiawei felt a warmth in her heart. "Thank you all."

"No need to thank me, boss. Just take us to fight bosses from now on," one of the players said with a smile as he turned around.

However, just as Xu Jiawei was about to completely eliminate these players, the sound that the players least wanted to hear rang out.

[System: A large number of players have been detected rebelling against the system. As a punishment, all players who assist the boss will have their attributes reduced by 20%. To encourage players to actively defeat the boss, all of the boss's attributes will be reduced by 50%, and all attack skills will be disabled. Duration: 5 minutes. Players must defeat the boss within five minutes!]

"You stupid Dark God, if you're so capable, come and fight your grandpa one-on-one. What's the point of making trouble here?" Li Ming cursed angrily.

Xu Jiawei's face darkened. All her attack skills turned gray and became unusable, leaving only some life-saving skills still usable.

The situation is more severe than ever before.

But this might be a good thing. The fact that the Dark God is doing this proves that he's in a hurry, and the system should be arriving soon.

According to the time provided by the Dark God, five minutes, that means the Dark God can only control the situation for another five minutes. As long as they persevere, victory will eventually be theirs!

"Hold on, everyone! Just five more minutes and we'll create an opportunity for the big boss!" the players shouted to encourage each other.

"Everyone, charge! Kill the boss, and the rewards are ours!" A chaotic battle ensued.

Si Yunming stood beside Xu Jiawei, protecting her and Yan Ling. Both of them were bosses, and various sneak attacks followed one after another.

"Don't worry about me, I have a way to save my life!" Xu Jiawei shouted.

Si Yunming nodded and joined the melee. Five minutes was neither a long nor a short time. While Xu Jiawei was still dodging attacks, finally, a familiar voice appeared in the hearts of all the players.
