Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[E. coli: Another event! I wonder what kind of event it is, and how dangerous it is.]

[I am a tailor: The first two events were welfare events, so the new event must be very dangerous. After all, the survival system isn't a charity.]

[E. coli: Indeed, our newbie protection period was only two days during the treasure chest rush, now it's a whopping 7 days, that's outrageous.]

[Rainy Bear: Ah, which server are you on? How come it's only been two days? Our server has six days!]

After the servers were merged, the server information was only displayed for one day and then disappeared the next day, so it's now impossible to tell who belongs to which server.

[E. coli: I'm from dose 63, oh my god, is there really that much difference?]

[Xiaoyu: I'm from server 64. Our server has been around for 5 days. No wonder so many people can survive even without anyone selling anything. It's great to have powerful players around.]

[In a good mood: Ahhh, we're from server 61. Our server only lasted one day, no wonder so many people died.]

After looking at everyone's guesses, Xu Jiawei nodded thoughtfully. They made sense; it could indeed be very dangerous. She could only wait and see tomorrow.

After listing the items for sale in the system's online store, Xu Jiawei went to rest; the weather was getting colder and colder.

With anticipation in her heart, Xu Jiawei drifted off to sleep.

The next day, the bell rang at seven o'clock sharp. Xu Jiawei opened her eyes and heard the system's voice.

[System Announcement: I wonder how you all slept last night. Were you too excited to sleep? Well then, let's start announcing the details of the new event.]

1. Launch the Player Life Showdown event. Event introduction: The raft is the player's home, the place where players live for a long time. Starting today, record the traces of your home and your life, upload the photos to the Life Showdown page, and the player with the most likes will receive a special reward.

2. The Island Landing Event is now live! Starting today, the probability of obtaining Island Passes from opening chests has increased. Players can explore the island to earn rewards, or defeat the mutated creatures on the island to earn points. The player with the highest score will receive a generous reward. Players are encouraged to participate. (Note: Players can attack each other; the player who lands the final blow gains experience.)

3. Wishing everyone a friendly relationship and a happy life.

[No one bit the lighter alive: Oh my god, the system told everyone we could attack each other, and experience points were only gained from the final blow, but in the end everyone's supposed to be friendly? This is just too hellish.]

[I'll send this to you later: Be careful not to get banned, and whatever you do, don't say anything bad about the survival system.]

[No lighter bitten alive: No, no, the system is the best, I will always love the system.]

[Survival System: The player didn't manage to bite the lighter alive. You insulted the system in your comment, but due to your good behavior, you are given a warning. We hope you will abide by the rules in the future and work together to maintain a good environment.]

[I'll send it to you later: So flattering the system really works! System Daddy is the best, can you give me a cheat code?]

[Infatuated girl: System Daddy, I want a golden weapon.]

[Bumblebee: System Daddy, I want the Golden Treasure Chest.]

Survival System: You're dreaming.

[Hanfu: Haha, we've even forced the system to speak! Is there a real person behind the system? This doesn't seem like AI at all.]

[After washing it clean: If there's a real person underneath, could there be some kind of conspiracy, like in novels where they want to exterminate humanity? That's terrifying.]

[Survival System: Player, you have cleaned up. You insulted the system in your chat. According to system rules, you will be banned for three days. We hope you will abide by the rules in the future and work together to maintain a good environment.]

......

Xu Jiawei took out the island pass she got from the treasure chest a few days ago. Today the countdown ended and she could go to the island.

Xu Jiawei clicked "Use," and a system prompt popped up on her account.

[Do you want to go to the island? (The system suggests forming a team, but I won't stop you from going alone to your death.)]

It seems we still need to find teammates. Xu Jiawei went to find Zhang Yunting first.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Brother Zhang, wanna team up?]

[Leader: I'm sorry, Comrade Xu, I can't go with you this time. I have to lead the leader team.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: It's okay.]

Xu Jiawei was just about to look for Li Ming when Li Ming sent her a message first.

[Hey LOVE! Hey sis, I have an island pass, wanna come?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Come on, but Zhang Yunting can't come. Should we look for someone else?]

[The lucky one is here: Sis, then I'll hire someone.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: If you can trust me, that's fine too. It's up to you.]

[The Lucky One is here: Okay, sis, I'll sign the contract with him.]

After waiting a while, Li Ming sent a message.

[The Lucky One is here: Sis, I found someone. He used to be from server 64, and he's currently ranked number one on the power rankings. I heard from server 64 that he frequently takes on jobs and seems quite trustworthy.]

Oh, it's those three dots.

Li Ming quickly pulled Xu Jiawei into the team chat interface. At this time, there were three people in the chat interface, which was a new feature after the server merge.

[The Lucky One Here: Um, nice to meet you all. Let's get acquainted first. My name is The Lucky One Here. From now on, whoever kills whom is responsible for the kill; no killing each other.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay, that's it.]

[...:I am...]

...For a moment, the chat channel fell into an eerie silence.

Xu Jiawei privately messaged Li Ming.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Is this person reliable? Why is he so silent?]

Li Ming really wanted to complain, saying that you weren't much better, but he still sent the message anyway.

[The lucky one is here: Sis, this person didn't charge after hearing there was a second-place finisher, saying it was a normal team formation, so it should be fine, right? They just want a good ranking.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Don't worry, even if this person isn't good enough, I'll still protect you.]

[The lucky one is here: Sister, you're so kind.]

Xu Jiawei was still very curious about this mysterious and low-profile top fan.

Li Ming used the island pass, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Jiawei landed on the ground. She was very surprised when she saw her three-point appearance, and even Li Ming was startled.

"Si Yunming, it was you!"

Xu Jiawei realized that it was no wonder the name "Rain Falling" sounded familiar; Dong Long had mentioned it once before.

This is Bai Yu's nickname. Bai Yu and Si Yunming share the same surname.

Xu Jiawei was momentarily moved; it was such a coincidence.

Si Yunming was also very surprised, not expecting to see Xu Jiawei again so soon, especially under such circumstances.

Si Yunming gave Xu Jiawei a slight smile: "Long time no see, you've become even stronger."

"How can I compare to you? You're number one on the list, but I'll surpass you someday." Xu Jiawei smiled as well.

Li Ming coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and the two women finally turned their attention to him. "Um, sis, bro, which way are we planning to go?"

Xu Jiawei glanced at Li Ming and said, "You're lucky, you lead the way."

Li Ming glanced at Xu Jiawei, then at Si Yunming. Seeing that they both shared the same idea, he pointed in a direction where there was a dense forest.

The three of them walked in this direction.
