Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The apprenticeship certificate cost 500, so Xu Jiawei scraped together the money, took out mushrooms of equal value, and exchanged them with the bone dragon. A blue flame shot out from the ancient dragon's eyes as it scanned the items Xu Jiawei had paid for, and finally took them away.

The deal is now complete.

Xu Jiawei started browsing again, looking for things she liked that she could afford.

After Xu Jiawei finished looking around, the two completed their transaction.

"Sis, look, I bought this, a high-level pet contract voucher. Your Rainbow is so powerful, I want a pet that powerful too." Li Ming proudly held the contract voucher.

Xu Jiawei gave a thumbs up. Li Ming is really rich. Xu Jiawei also noticed that the advanced contract voucher costs 2000.

Xu Jiawei looked at Si Yunming and saw that Si Yunming had changed his clothes. Did he change his equipment?

"Yes, I traded my old sword for a piece of golden armor," Si Yunming explained casually.

"Brother, there are epic armors over there, why don't you..." Under Si Yunming's gaze, Li Ming's voice faded, and he wanted to slap himself twice. What kind of stupid mouth was that? If Si Yunming had the money to buy epic armor, would he still choose a gold armor?

"Brother, I was just kidding, don't mind me," Li Ming pleaded from the side, with Si Yunming following behind.

Xu Jiawei followed along, and no one paid any attention to the giant toad.

"Brother, please don't ignore me! I was wrong, okay?" Li Ming chased after him, not looking at anything on the road, and tripped and fell flat on his face again. The high-level contract in his hand flew out and hit the giant toad directly.

Li Ming stared in shock at the scene, crying out in anguish, "No!!! My contract voucher!!! No!!!"

The contract certificate emitted a dazzling light and then disappeared.

[Ding! Congratulations to player "Lucky Emperor" for successfully contracting a pet! Pet training materials will be placed in the player's treasure chest. As the second player to contract a pet, you will receive a Pet Nest*1.]

"No! I don't want a toad! Why is my life so miserable?" Li Ming wailed.

Meanwhile, the three-legged toad that was tied up was also wailing and shedding tears, seemingly lamenting the injustice of its fate. The expressions of the human and the toad were strangely similar.

"Waaah, sis, this toad's intimacy level is still -100, how am I supposed to survive?"

"Wow, the advanced contract voucher is so powerful! It can even successfully form a contract with a -100 level of intimacy. That's amazing!" Xu Jiawei exclaimed.

"Sis, is that the main point? The main point is that this thing reduces intimacy by 100. Won't it make you think about killing your master all the time?"

[Ding! Players are advised to increase their pet's intimacy level to reduce the risk of the pet killing its owner.]

Li Ming: ......

Is this a contract with an ancestor?

Li Ming, suppressing goosebumps, stepped forward and untied the rope from the three-legged toad. Just as he was about to say something, the toad slapped him away. Li Ming then fawned over the toad, placing food in front of it and looking pitiful as he humbly tried to please it.

"Sis, how did you get along with Rainbow? How did you develop feelings for her?" Li Ming asked with a bitter face.

"Huh? Rainbow was personally imbued with my spirit, so my natural affinity with her is already maxed out. I don't know how she can interact normally with a pet." Xu Jiawei waved her hand, indicating that she couldn't help.

Xu Jiawei looked at Li Ming and said, "Go for it, you big brother with the toad."

"Sis, please stop making fun of me. I feel like the sky is falling. I hate toads. This wasn't my choice."

[Ding! Your pet's affinity has decreased by 10. Please work to increase your pet's intimacy to reduce the risk of it killing its owner.]

Li Ming quickly smiled apologetically, "Ahhh, whose toad is this? It's so cute, I love it the most!"

[Ding! Your pet's affinity has decreased by 1. The three-legged toad finds you a bit disgusting. Players are advised to work hard to increase their pet's intimacy to reduce the risk of it killing its owner.]

"Ahhh, sis, I can't take it anymore." Li Ming was on the verge of a breakdown.

Xu Jiawei said, "As the saying goes, you have to deceive yourself first to deceive others. Only when you tell yourself that your pet is cute, accept it, and love it, can you make it like you."

Xu Jiawei patted Li Ming on the shoulder, and Li Ming, as if he had made up his mind, nodded and kissed the big toad's face.

The three-legged toad froze, then began to squeal sharply.

Xu Jiawei was stunned, then gave her a thumbs up, "Amazing! With this kind of determination, you'll succeed at anything!"

Even Si Yunming gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

Li Ming's eyes lit up with joy: "Sis, your method really works! Our intimacy level has increased! Don't you think kissing would be even better!"

"There's no need for that." Xu Jiawei quickly distanced herself from the matter, saying it had nothing to do with her. How could a perfectly normal child turn into a monster?

As the three of them walked out of the cave, it was almost time to leave. Li Ming hugged the toad tightly, while the toad struggled desperately, as if saying, "Save me! I've encountered a pervert! Ahhh!"

After all, that cave was a special space, and it was impossible to teleport back to the raft, so the group had to go back. It was thanks to the toad that the insects were terrified of it, which allowed them to return the way they came.

"Sis, brother, Meimei and I will come find you again next time!" Meimei is the name Li Ming gave to the toad.

Xu Jiawei waved her hand and turned her back. It was simply unbearable to watch.

The bell rang at seven o'clock, and Xu Jiawei returned to the raft. First, she decided to open the box, since she didn't know what was inside such an expensive item.

After filling the safety pad, Xu Jiawei took out the box and opened it.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained a Mysterious Pet Egg*1]

Unexpectedly, the box contained a pet egg, but the egg was only about half the size of a fist, and I had no idea what was inside.

"System, how exactly do I hatch this pet egg?"

Players are encouraged to explore on their own.

Okay, Xu Jiawei put the egg aside.

She then took out the racial awakening certificate, and to avoid it turning into something strange in the future, Xu Jiawei used the wish directly.

"I wish to awaken the most powerful..." Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and then added, "The bloodline of my race that is most suitable for me."

Seeing that her wish had turned into (0/1), Xu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately used the racial awakening certificate.

Soon, Xu Jiawei felt lightheaded, her mind seemed to become very clear, and she was surrounded by a ball of light before falling into a deep sleep.

The mushrooms on the entire ship trembled, and even Rainbow sensed a dangerous aura emanating from its master.

Within the ball of light unseen by anyone, a mushroom sprouted on Xu Jiawei's head and then shrank back.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for awakening the special race, Mushroom God.]

Xu Jiawei opened her eyes groggily. Good heavens, she named herself Mushroom Fairy, and now she's actually become a Mushroom God.

After Xu Jiawei awakened her race, she gained two skills: mycelial regeneration and spore clones.

[Mycelial Regeneration: Transforms the user into countless mycelia. When the user dies, the user will revive on the mycelia with 1 health. Costs 100 mana]

[Spore Clone: ​​Releases countless spores to form a clone of itself. The clone inherits 10% of the original's attributes and can be used in conjunction with mycelium regeneration. Consumes 50 mana.]

Wow, that's amazing! Although it consumes a lot of mana, it's really good at keeping you alive, as long as you have enough mana.

After racial awakening, the panel underwent significant changes.
