Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

At this moment, a thin layer of ice appeared on the sea surface, and snow began to fall from the sky. Fortunately, Xu Jiawei had a protective shield, so the snow could not get in.

The weather was so cold that Xu Jiawei put the cotton clothes and quilts made from mushrooms on the system shop, and they were quickly sold out. She also collected some coal today, so Xu Jiawei made a few stoves and put them on the system shop, with the price doubling the price of the raw materials.

Upon entering the house, Xu Jiawei lit the fireplace. Fortunately, the fireplace only required burning wood, and the chimney happened to pass through the second floor and bedroom, so the residual heat could also raise the temperature of the entire house.

Although Hsu Chia-wei had an electric blanket, she didn't have electricity, so the electric blanket was of little use.

"If only the house had electricity," Xu Jiawei sighed. Soon, the mushrooms were planted and Xu Jiawei harvested a large batch, so she continued planting.

She planned to visit Master Mofeng tomorrow. It was already too late today, so after taking a shower and changing her clothes, Xu Jiawei went to bed. Taking a shower in this weather was too much of a hassle; it was so cold. If only there was underfloor heating.

I wonder if this fireplace can be converted into underfloor heating. Xu Jiawei curled up in bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Xu Jiawei was awakened by the cold. She immediately got up, put on thicker clothes, and went outside. By then, ice had formed on the sea, and snowflakes fell on it, forming a white snow layer. Looking at the sea, it looked like bald patches, with patches of white and blue.

Xu Jiawei rubbed her hands together; it was too cold. At this moment, the number of players in the entire server began to slowly decrease, and some people even froze to death in their sleep.

Xu Jiawei listed the cotton-padded clothes and quilts that Mushroom had made last night on the system shop. She doesn't negotiate prices on the system shop these days, after all, she is very busy and doesn't have time to waste on negotiating prices and changing materials.

[Leader: Mushrooms, we'll help you sell them, like the collaboration we had with the last natural disaster, how about it?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: How did you know it was me?]

Xu Jiawei has been selling things anonymously, and she has long been ranked first on the wealth list. Recently, she has also hidden her data.

[Leader: Just guessing. Besides you, there's probably no one else who could produce this in such large quantities.]

Xu Jiawei agreed, noting that she wasn't the only one selling items now. After all, players who survived the first natural disaster were all skilled enough to obtain blueprints easily.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay, the price remains the same as last time. You guys handle the rest. But I have to go out for a bit. The contract will start tomorrow.]

After speaking, Zhang Yunting sent some materials to Xu Jiawei, who then tossed them directly to the work group.

Xu Jiawei prepared the gifts and then used the apprenticeship certificate directly.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, for using the apprenticeship invitation. Awaiting master's confirmation.]

[Ding, Master has completed confirmation. Teleportation will proceed in 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7...]

When Xu Jiawei opened her eyes again, she had arrived in a warm place. Xu Jiawei was dressed in thick clothes and her head was sweating.

So he took off his heavy clothes and returned to normal.

Xu Jiawei saw a small wooden house ahead, so she went up and knocked on the door, which opened automatically.

Xu Jiawei stepped into the house, which resembled a huge library, filled with all sorts of books. Xu Jiawei looked at everything in amazement.

"Oh, so you're the one who took my apprenticeship certificate? An outsider?" A clear male voice rang out, and Xu Jiawei looked in the direction from which the voice came.

A young man with a wolf's tail and wearing a black robe sat on the railing, looking down at Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei bowed very politely: "Are you Master Mo Feng? I would like to ask you about magic."

The young man jumped down, frowned as he looked at the badge on Xu Jiawei's chest: "You're a pharmacist? Then why are you studying magic?"

Xu Jiawei replied, "More choices mean more paths; it's always good to have more skills."

Mo Feng looked at Xu Jiawei critically: "I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything well. Fine, come over and have your talent tested."

Mo Feng took out a crystal ball from his sleeve and gestured for Xu Jiawei to place her hand on it. At that moment, the crystal ball displayed strange colors and formed a mushroom shape in the middle.

"Mushroom attribute??? I've lived for over 200 years and I've never seen a mushroom attribute before!" Mo Feng's calm expression vanished, replaced by a look of astonishment as he stared at Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei became a little nervous: "Master Mofeng, isn't the mushroom attribute bad?"

"This is too bizarre, I've never seen anything like it. I can't teach it, you'll have to find someone more capable!" Mo Feng said and then turned away.

Xu Jiawei stopped Mo Feng anxiously: "Master, could you please give me some pointers? There are many things I don't understand."

Mo Feng waved his hand and said, "No, I'll have to write a letter of recommendation for you when you take the association's assessment. I'm afraid you'll ruin my reputation."

It seemed that pleading wouldn't work, and she would have to resort to bribery. Xu Jiawei took out the prepared Myriad Mushrooms and handed them to Mo Feng: "Master Mo Feng, this is a gift I'm giving you for my visit. I only hope you can give me some pointers."

Mo Feng stared at the mushrooms before him in surprise and exclaimed, "These are the Myriad Elephant Mushrooms that were sold at the auction before?!"

Mo Feng's face showed a struggling expression, as if he was hesitating and conflicted, and he said, "Let me think about it, and I'll tell you the result in a few days."

Xu Jiawei knew that further words would be pointless, so she bowed again and said, "Thank you, Master Mofeng, for your willingness to consider this. I will go back and await the result."

Mo Feng nodded. "Go straight after you go out, and you'll be able to leave the barrier."

Xu Jiawei went out of the small house, and just as she stepped out, Grace called.

"My good disciple, how is it? Has that kid Mo Feng accepted you as his disciple?" Grace's image appeared in the air.

Xu Jiawei shook her head and said, "Master Mofeng said my attributes are very peculiar and he doesn't plan to take me as his disciple. However, Master Mofeng said he would consider giving me guidance."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Mo Feng is very strict when it comes to accepting disciples." Grace could only shake her head regretfully.

"I've made up my mind, I'll take you as my disciple!" A hurried male voice came, and Mo Feng had already arrived beside Xu Jiawei without anyone noticing.

"Sister, it's been a long time. I've thought it through. As a great mage, how can I not even teach someone with such a strange attribute? So I'm taking her as my apprentice." Mo Feng looked at Grace with admiration.

Grace chuckled softly, "Long time no see. But is my apprentice's personality really that peculiar? Well, you must have had a tough time."

"Not at all strange. Your disciple is the best, and I will definitely teach him well."

......

After hanging up with Grace, Mo Feng stared intently at Xu Jiawei: "Why didn't you say earlier that you were my sister's disciple? Since you are my sister's disciple, you will be mine too. Study hard so that I can give my sister an explanation."

Xu Jiawei never expected that the so-called eccentric Master Mofeng was actually a love-obsessed person.
