Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Ding! The God Election event has begun. The goal of this event is to obtain the Breath of the World.]

Due to the relatively weak capabilities of players, a teleportation function will be enabled to protect them. When a player's life is threatened, they will be immediately teleported back to the game world. Players are encouraged to participate actively.

The player interaction feature is now enabled in this world, allowing players to exchange information with other players in the same world.

Upon hearing the system's voice, Xu Jiawei secretly glanced at Harley and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he hadn't heard her.

I immediately opened the chat and found a small group of ten people, and some people were already talking in the group.

[A lucky player here: This group is mostly made up of players, so it doesn't look too difficult.]

[Word Spirit: As expected of the God of Luck, her luck is just amazing. I'm so envious.]

[Akagi: How's it going where you are?]

[Word of Power: It's hard to say. There are several powerful individuals among them; I don't know how high their attributes are.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It's not just us players who are participating in the election to become gods; there are also people who participated in this election before, the youngest of whom have lived for at least five million years. Everyone, be careful.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: You can talk to people who have participated in the event before and cooperate with them. Let them teach you how to read other people's attributes. If you encounter the ***** race, run away quickly; these people are not to be trifled with.]

[Rain Falling: Oh no, it's blocked, I can't see it.]

[System: Please refrain from communicating with certain races, or you will be detected.]

When Xu Jiawei saw this, she broke out in a cold sweat. She had been chatting so enthusiastically with Harley, had she been discovered?

[...I encountered certain races that are very strong, with average stats exceeding 100,000.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: If you encounter danger, don't try to fight it; run as fast as you can.]

[Grace: I didn't expect we could chat like that. No wonder there was so much noise.]

[Mo Feng: We won't be able to meet up in the first phase, everyone be careful. See you in the second phase.]

[Mushroom God: What the hell? Am I the only one in this region? Successor, you better hold on!]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Don't worry, I've temporarily allied with someone else. See you in Phase Two. Three O'Clock Bro, are you okay?]

【...It's okay, I have a solution, don't worry.】

After exchanging information with everyone, Xu Jiawei's competition area had nearly 1000 people, and the number was constantly increasing. There were now 10 people with attributes above 100,000.

Xu Jiawei and Harley hid in a corner. Harley said, "Looks like it's about to start. I really envy these players. Look how happy they are, like they're afraid others won't know they have some trump cards up their sleeves."

Player Xu Jiawei pretended not to know and also sighed.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. It's the god who organized the election, and she gave her chosen people special treatment. Look at how fearless these players are, they probably have some kind of survival skill." Harley gritted his teeth, his eyes stinging like two big lemons.

Harley was right; the system really did give them a huge backdoor. It's true, connections really do make a difference.

The portal then closed, and the system's voice sounded again, this time heard by everyone present.

[Ding! Hello everyone, this is System 001. I will be hosting this God election event.]

Upon hearing the system voice, Xu Jiawei was stunned. Wasn't this her system voice? It turned out that their world's system was actually 001. She had never heard the system mention this before.

The murmurs around her reached her ears.

"System 001, is it System 001's turn again? Wasn't System 001 the previous one? How can he be re-elected for two terms?"

"Oh no, this System 001 is notoriously cruel. A lot of people died in the last god election."

"Be content. You can try the one hosted by System 002, which is basically a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. At least System 001 has a chance of survival."

Hearing the discussion, Xu Jiawei felt a mix of emotions. It turned out that the unreliable system she had always thought of had this side to it; appearances can be deceiving.

This event will use a lottery system, with all regions competing against each other. Only the first 100 participants from each region to reach the starting point will pass the first stage.

"No way, the competition format has changed again. I finally got into this region with fewer strong players, and now they're telling me it's useless. I'm speechless."

"Try to think positively. What if there aren't many strong players in the other regions you're assigned to?"

"Keep dreaming."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Harley also began to complain: "Ah, it seems our luck isn't very good either. Don't you have teammates? If we're assigned to the same region, we can find them. Now we have to expand our team."

Xu Jiawei nodded immediately; that was exactly what she was thinking.

[The event has officially begun. Matching is now starting. 3, 2, 1, match complete.]

Suddenly, many people surrounded Xu Jiawei, including many powerful individuals. Xu Jiawei finally saw familiar faces, and after scanning everyone, she immediately showed a strange expression.

The 001 system, which was described as cruel, seemed to have opened a back door for them, and they were all assigned to the same group without exception.

The group exchanged glances, pretending not to notice, and continued to stare at the entrance. After all, everyone was now in an alliance, and it was best not to take any unnecessary actions while confirming the reliability of their allies.

Harley asked, "Do you know anyone here?"

Xu Jiawei said, "I saw a few familiar faces; I'll ask them about it later."

"Okay, but if it's unreliable, then don't form an alliance. The two of us can take a chance."

Although Harley said that, there are still hundreds of people with over 100,000 attribute points, and it will be quite difficult to break through among them.

Harley was confident in its own abilities, but it was still unsure about its teammate's capabilities. Although its intuition was accurate, it didn't know exactly what its teammate was capable of.

However, the teammates' attributes are also 70,000, so even if they are bad, the difference won't be that much.

Harley felt relieved, and similarly, Xu Jiawei trusted Harley, not because Harley was cute, but because her intuition told her that Harley was trustworthy.

It's true to its appearance; it looks like a kind old cat.

Moreover, its strength seems quite formidable, even surpassing its apparent power.

"Oh, right, here, this is for you. We can use this to regroup if we get separated." Harley plucked a hair from his body and handed it to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei took the hair, but in her heart she was thinking, if she has to pluck a hair every time she looks for someone, won't she go bald?

Harley, of course, had no idea what Xu Jiawei was thinking. Instead, he stood ramrod straight, waiting for the event to begin.

[Ding, event countdown: 60, 59, 58, 57... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Random teleportation.]

Xu Jiawei's vision blurred, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself thousands of feet in the air, plummeting rapidly. Below her was a vast ocean, and her landing point seemed to be a tiny island.
