Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"Harley, you are different from us, as are Grace, Teacher Mofeng, and Master Mushroom. You have no chance to save your lives. Whether you want to participate in the final competition is up to you."

"Of course I'm going to participate, otherwise what am I doing here?" Harley said with a matter-of-fact expression.

Xu Jiawei then looked at Grace, Mo Feng, and Mushroom God. Grace and Mo Feng nodded gently.

Mushroom God was furious. What did his successor mean? Did he look down on him?

Seeing that the Mushroom God was about to unleash its power, Xu Jiawei quickly said, "Of course the Mushroom God should go. After all, it's so strong, we still need to rely on your protection."

Mushroom God then gave Xu Jiawei a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

Xu Jiawei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost forgotten that the Mushroom God was a creature who valued face above all else, so she absolutely couldn't say that he was incompetent.

So the group disguised themselves as a small team from the Fire Clan and set off.

They weren't too far from the central area, arriving in just two hours. Their disguises were impeccable, their acting skills were quite good, and they walked expressionlessly toward the Fire Clan.

During the interrogation by the Word Spirit, they had already learned everything about the people's interpersonal relationships from these people. Fortunately, this group did not know many people. Apart from the few who were in the same team, they were just nodding acquaintances with the others.

The Fire Clan is located on the periphery. Due to the death of their chieftain, they have become the lowest of the low and are bullied by other major races.

Xu Jiawei then realized that there was also a hierarchy among the major races. The higher-ups of the major races bullied the lower-ups, and the lower-ups bullied ordinary people. This exploitation layer by layer formed a strict hierarchical system.

The Fire Clan, Mermaid Clan, and Wind Clan that she killed were considered low-level beings. Their clan leaders only had 20 attribute points, and now that their clan leaders are dead, they will soon be removed from the ranks of the great nobles.

Xu Jiawei and the others quickly exchanged the secret code, and the Fire Clan stopped paying attention to them. Instead, they were now arguing fiercely about choosing a clan leader. Currently, the highest-ranking member of the Fire Clan was the vice clan leader, who had 15 attribute points and should have been the one to succeed him.

However, the Fire Clan's leader has a child who already has 10 attribute points, and he also wants to inherit his father's position as clan leader. Therefore, the Fire Clan is now subtly divided into two factions.

Of course, there is a minority of neutrals, but most of them are marginal figures in the clan, like the group that Xu Jiawei is impersonating.

Xu Jiawei and the others also settled down and remained neutral.

Although there were frictions between the major races, they were not fatal, which allowed Xu Jiawei to hide herself with peace of mind.

They remained hidden until the very last day, and the other ordinary participants began to stir, creating a tense atmosphere.

At this moment, the person from the highest-ranking race who was standing at the front stood up with a solemn expression.

This was someone Xu Jiawei had met before who surpassed even the Dark God, and Xu Jiawei didn't want to have a direct conflict with such a person.

"Gentlemen, there is a traitor among us. We must find her quickly. My divination indicates that she can change our long-standing dominance in the competition. As long as she is alive, our great race will decline. For our survival, we must find her and kill her."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei's heart skipped a beat. Had they been discovered?

It's surprising that some of these great races possess divination talents; they are truly a hidden force of geniuses.

Fortunately, his divination scope is very broad. He only knows that there is a mole, but he doesn't know who it is. They can still hide for a while longer, as long as they can hide until the Breath of the World appears.

The group exchanged glances discreetly, then feigned the same shocked expression as the others.

"Master Bu, who is that person, and where is he?"

The man named Master Bu shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Mandate of Heaven is very vague, as if it is hidden. There is no one else but that person who can hide the Mandate of Heaven. That proves that the mole who infiltrated is the person he chose."

The members of the larger races immediately erupted in commotion, utterly shocked: "It's those despicable players! They've actually infiltrated our race!"

"Master Bu, which ethnic group have you infiltrated, and how can we find them?"

Master Bu shook his head. He didn't know either. The information given by fate was too vague, and that was all there was.

The people of the larger race were initially alarmed, but then quickly came up with a solution.

"Those players have strange talents and low attributes. We'll find them eventually by searching them one by one. We'll have all the races check themselves later," said another white-bearded old man.

The proposal was supported by everyone, and all races put aside their grudges and got to work.

The Fire Clan began its internal investigation, and soon it was Xu Jiawei's turn. Xu Jiawei and the others exchanged glances, and Xu Jiawei was the first to stand up and accept the inspection.

First, they checked the markings, then the special communication abilities. Xu Jiawei passed the investigation without any major incidents.

Finally, it was time to check the attributes. Grace's potion worked very well, and Xu Jiawei passed the test perfectly. After seeing Xu Jiawei pass, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed there were no problems.

Everyone else passed without any surprises, but several players from other races were found to have been exposed. They hadn't figured out the inspection method or had incomplete information, so they were all exposed and sent back to their original world.

Seeing that the mole had been found, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, before they could say anything, Master Bu shook his head and said, "Fate tells me that the matter is not resolved, and the mole is still among us."

After he finished speaking, the whole room froze. They had investigated all these people, and the mole was hidden in a way that was far beyond their imagination.

They had checked very carefully, even examining the scent and smell, and found nothing wrong.

So everyone searched more carefully again, and a few more players who weren't hiding perfectly, as well as a few players with bad attitudes, were found out.

I thought the matter was completely resolved, but Master Bu still shook his head.

Now everyone was in an awkward situation. They suspected each other, and even their longtime partners looked at each other with suspicion, fearing that their partner might be replaced at some point, leading to mutual suspicion and accusations.

Chaos descended upon the major races.

"Quiet. I have performed another divination. This time the information is more detailed. The traitor is hiding in a minor tribe."

Xu Jiawei's face darkened. This was bad; the area they were in had been greatly reduced, and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed.

Besides Xu Jiawei, another team of players also had grim expressions; they too had mingled with the minor races.

The lowest-ranking races among the major races instantly changed their expressions; they had become the targets of these higher-ranking races.

"There are quite a few of these people, and it'll be very difficult for them to get out," said the person next to Master Bu, looking troubled.

The other person, however, seemed indifferent and said, "That's easy. Just kill all these races. Who cares if they're traitors or not?"

Those of lower races felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

Yes, although they belong to a great race and enjoy great prestige, they are also the lowest of the great races, prey for those higher races. If anything happens, they will be the first to suffer.
