Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

At the end was a treasure chest area exactly the same as before, with no difference whatsoever. Xu Jiawei opened the treasure chest again, but there was nothing inside. Even the treasure chest monsters were gone. The three of them opened all the treasure chests, and they were all empty.

Xu Jiawei frowned. This space hadn't opened up any new paths. Could it really be that there was nothing there?

Si Yunming began to feel around the wall inch by inch, and Xu Jiawei also looked around, wondering if there was some kind of mechanism.

The two of them groped around for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong. Li Ming was about to give up when he walked into the center on his own. Then, as if he was being pulled by something, he tripped and fell to the ground. His hand was on the side, which seemed to have activated some kind of mechanism, and he fell straight down. His luck was incredible.

By the time Xu Jiawei turned around, the person was already gone.

Xu Jiawei: ? ? ? ?

Where is this huge Li Ming?

Xu Jiawei immediately went to the spot where Li Ming had just been, looking for traces of the mechanism. Finally, she found a movable part on a floor tile. After telling Si Yunming, she pressed her hand on the mechanism, and a hole appeared in the center of the stone cave. Xu Jiawei used a stone to jam the mechanism, and then she and Si Yunming jumped down.

Upon arriving at the cave, they found only a dark passage leading into the distance. Li Ming wasn't waiting for them there, which was very unusual. Li Ming must have encountered something extremely urgent. They needed to find Li Ming as soon as possible.

Just then, a rustling sound came from behind the rocks, accompanied by squeaking. A large group of palm-sized insects emerged from behind the rocks, chirping as they rushed towards the two of them. Wherever they went, nothing grew. Xu Jiawei finally understood why there were so many skeletons.

They were all eaten by these insects, leaving only bones.

Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming hurriedly ran towards the innermost part of the passage, fearing that the insects would catch up with them and eat them alive.

She even released parasitic spores while running to slow down the insect. After running for more than 20 minutes, Xu Jiawei was already panting heavily. The fluorescent light reappeared in the tunnel. After the two of them passed through the fluorescent light, the insect lay at the entrance of the cave and dared not chase anymore.

However, the two became even more wary, wondering what danger lurked within that frightened even the insects.

Suddenly, a scream rang out, and Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming's expressions changed. It was Li Ming's scream.

Without stopping, the two ran towards the direction from which the sound came, fearing that if they were too late, they would only find corpses.

Following the direction of the sound, the two arrived at a wide cave entrance, where a huge golden toad was pressing down on Li Ming, its long tongue licking him, leaving glistening saliva. Li Ming let out a sharp screech, trying to escape the toad's tongue.

Xu Jiawei discovered that this toad only had three legs.

"A three-legged toad?" Xu Jiawei asked uncertainly.

Si Yunming nodded, but seeing that the three-legged golden toad didn't seem to want to kill Li Ming, Xu Jiawei didn't attack rashly either. Instead, she wanted to see what the three-legged golden toad was up to.

"Sis, save me! This toad keeps licking me! Ugh, I'm filthy!" Li Ming cried out as he saw Xu Jiawei.

The golden toad used its tongue to carry Li Ming deeper into the area, leaving Li Ming with only a long echo.

"Let's go, we'll chase after them." The two followed Li Ming's voice and gave them directions. Li Ming's voice was quite loud.

Finally, the golden toad stopped, and the two followed it to a huge palace. In the center of the palace was a huge skeleton, the skeleton of a dragon!

The golden toad respectfully placed Li Ming in front of the skeleton. During this toad worship, Si Yunming used a black substance to save Li Ming.

After the golden toad finished bowing and looked up, it found that the offerings were gone. It angrily searched around and pounced on Xu Jiawei and the other two when it saw them.

"Aaaaaah, that toad is pouncing on me, it's disgusting!" Li Ming yelled and swung his knife at the toad, only to be slapped away by the toad.

However, Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming were much stronger than Li Ming, and they subdued the toad in no time.

Xu Jiawei looked at the defiant toad at her feet with a headache. She didn't dare to kill it, after all, the three-legged toad was said to bring wealth. Would killing it affect her?

Is this considered a negative effect? ​​Can a lucky blessing prevent it?

Just in case, Xu Jiawei tied the toad up and left it alone.

Li Ming kept his distance from the toad, afraid of being entangled again.

The group arrived in front of the skeleton, which was surrounded by various boxes and treasures. A system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, player, you have arrived at the Bone Dragon's Fair Exchange Area. Players can exchange items with the Bone Dragon. Each item will display its corresponding price. The Bone Dragon hated thieves and robbers in its lifetime, so please do not try to cheat or steal.]

Everything before their eyes began to change; everything around them acquired a price, even themselves.

Good heavens, is Li Ming's price really that high?

The price is a full 93, while Si Yunming next to him only has 15. What's the difference?

"Wow, sis, your price is only 1!" Li Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Good heavens, no wonder that giant toad didn't even glance at the two of them when it caught Li Ming. Did it think they were too easy to catch?

Is this price the initial luck value?

"Li Ming, what is your initial luck value?" Xu Jiawei asked Li Ming.

"93, what's wrong, sis?"

Si Yunming's initial luck was only 15? No wonder he had to lead the team to collect money; he's so poor.

Xu Jiawei looked at Si Yunming with sympathy, and Si Yunming returned the same look. The two unlucky guys even felt sorry for each other.

This was the first time Si Yunming had ever seen someone with worse luck than him, so he stepped forward and patted Xu Jiawei on the shoulder.

Xu Jiawei slapped his hand aside and said, "Brother Three, my luck has already reached over 50. You should worry about yourself instead."

After hearing this, Si Yunming went to the side and shut himself in.

Xu Jiawei looked at the golden toad, which was priced at over 200. This toad was really valuable, and Xu Jiawei even considered selling it.

Looking at the items in his backpack, he saw that each attribute mushroom cost only 10, weapons cost over 100, some poisonous mushrooms cost 5, and it took 10 gold coins to get 1. The box cost over 500, and even the rainbow mushrooms were not cheap, costing a full 200.

Xu Jiawei looked at the treasure chests at the feet of the bone dragon, opened them, and checked to see if there was anything she needed.

After searching for a while, all they found were weapons, potions, or gold coins and gems. Xu Jiawei did see an Infinity Potion, but it cost over 2000, which was unaffordable even if all three of them were tied together.

However, the price of the gold coins is quite reasonable, 1 for 10, which is indeed fair.

Xu Jiawei continued searching, and finally something caught her attention: a magician's apprenticeship request. She could use the apprenticeship request to ask the magician for apprenticeship.

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up. She had wanted to learn magic from a master for a long time, and now the opportunity had come.
