Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei's heart sank, and then she began to strengthen her defenses.

The men in black appeared in her future vision; these were the same men in black who killed Li Ming and Bai Yu. Finally, the Dark God began to divide humanity.

At first, the Dark God only separated some ordinary people in the magical world because they were exploited by nobles and had no way to learn magic. The Dark God was their only salvation.

Upon hearing this, the dean of the magic academy couldn't sit still any longer and immediately issued a notice stating that anyone with magical talent, regardless of age, could come and learn.

The whole world is now trying to find a solution to the Dark God, and these academies certainly can't lag behind. They've even set up special scholarships for ordinary people.

However, the conflict between nobles and commoners cannot be resolved in a short time. Moreover, these commoners have come into contact with many players and, after communicating with them, have broadened their horizons and have long been dissatisfied with the nobles.

For a time, the magical world was beset by internal and external troubles, but fortunately, the players reacted in time and invited civilians who were willing to move in to live with them. Now, most of the players have moved to the city, and there are still many vacancies. Moreover, a magic school has been built in the city.

All of these are compulsory education programs, and there are also adult universities. These ordinary people can also receive education or find a job in the city to support their families.

In no time, the city returned to normal, and the system did not hesitate to send all the children over. The authorities were busy arranging where the children would go. Those with parents were sent to find their parents, and those without parents were given orphanages.

Of course, the system's purpose in sending the children here is not just to stabilize the players, but to make humanity survive together and fight hard for their offspring.

If we ultimately fail, then these children will, of course, die along with humanity.

This must have been designed by the system long ago. After all, if it weren't for it, humanity would have been wiped out long ago on Earth. The system's appearance saved their lives and allowed them to help save the world. If it were no longer useful, then death would be the only outcome.

Of course, a group of children also came to Xu Jiawei's city. Xu Jiawei was busy building an orphanage to welcome the orphans who were sent there.

This was the result of discussions between Xu Jiawei and the authorities; their Mushroom City was to accept a group of orphans.

When these children arrived, they looked terrified and cried for their mothers. But after arriving in Mushroom City, they were attracted by the giant mushrooms all around them. It was like a fairy tale world. They forgot to cry and looked at the buildings in front of them with wonder.

Of course, Xu Jiawei entrusted this matter to the newly recruited secretarial team, and they arranged everything clearly.

Xu Jiawei, who rarely had a moment of free time, began patrolling the city again to see if anyone else had managed to sneak in.

Recently, those black-robed figures have been replaced by players who have been misled. Some players even saw familiar faces. Everyone was heartbroken and decided to punish them severely. Such traitors certainly did not have a good ending, so they were all executed.

After the city was nearly completed, their city began to interact with other cities in the world. Xu Jiawei gradually discovered that itinerant merchants had appeared in her city. They bought special items made by players and sold special items from other cities.

As the city gradually attracted civilians from other places to live there, Xu Jiawei had no choice but to continue expanding the city, and the protective shield could only be reinforced with more energy stones.

The players gradually improved their strength under the torture of the training tower. Xu Jiawei has been busy with planting recently. After all, farming is essential to having enough to eat. Fortunately, there are many people in their country who are good at farming, and there are also many agricultural experts. They are studying the crops grown in this world and trying to find ways to increase yields.

After a busy month, the war finally broke out. At first, only a few dozen mutated creatures came, which were easily dealt with by the players who came out of the city.

But then things took an unexpected turn. Gradually, the number of mutated creatures grew to several thousand, and their levels increased to over 50.

Xu Jiawei immediately issued an order that all players must participate in the guard activity to protect the city.

There are quite a few people in their city. If they take turns, players can only take turns once every three days. Each patrol lasts for 8 hours. If there is an invasion by mutated creatures, all players must be mobilized.

Xu Jiawei also promoted a player with a command role. With Xu Jiawei's help, the player reached level 70 and his talent became useful. Therefore, the current defense battles are all commanded by them.

Most players are progressing rapidly, but Xu Jiawei is searching everywhere for items to level up. She has followed the old path of the Dark God and is digging up other people's graves, since leveling up by absorbing dark energy is too slow.

Then came the most difficult moment: countless black-robed figures emerged, leading an army of demonic creatures to attack the city. Counting them up, there were tens of thousands of demonic creatures.

Many small cities were destroyed in the disaster, and many people fled to big cities, resulting in fewer and fewer small cities and more and more big cities.

Xu Jiawei had received many distress messages from small cities. Finally, the Mushroom Guild's senior management held a meeting to prepare to organize a rescue army to save these small cities.

Those willing to join Mushroom City will be allowed to join; those unwilling, their rescue this time is already more than enough, after all, they still have to defend Mushroom City.

Most of the city lords of smaller cities chose to merge with Mushroom City, as their strength was simply insufficient to withstand the attack of the dark creatures.

Moreover, the nobles have all gone to defend their cities, so besides Mushroom City and Dragon City, who else can provide support?

Compared to Xu Jiawei's city, the cities of the native inhabitants of this world are obviously more dangerous. This is because the monopoly of nobles means that only nobles can learn magic, and nobles only make up a very small group in this world.

With such a small number of people, it would be difficult for them to defend the city. Many civilians were killed by the mutated creatures, but some nobles did not organize them at all. Instead, they used the civilians as bait and abandoned the city and fled.

This incident shocked the world. Some commoners could not accept that these nobles, who had exploited them and enjoyed their patronage, had fled without a fight. Moreover, this was not an isolated case.

Xu Jiawei immediately organized a rescue team. Since they didn't want these civilians, she would accept them without hesitation. The players were busy fighting and training, and they didn't have time to deal with chores. It was perfect to leave these tasks to these civilians.

For example, farming, and many jobs created by cities, also require the help of these ordinary people.
