Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei opened her personal panel again and saw the talent section.

Name: Xu Jiawei

Nickname: 【AAA Mushroom Fairy】

Level: 3 (Experience: 70/1000)

Health: 50 (You are a crispy chicken)

Strength: 27+30 (A newbie, relies entirely on the longsword)

Defense: 16 (I was stunned)

Physical fitness: 32 (Even an 80-year-old man is stronger than you)

Speed: 20+1 (Is your time slower than others? Even a snail is faster than you.)

Luck: 3 (You're the African chief! This is the first time the system has seen someone with such low luck!)

Talent: The Mushroom-Picking Girl (Level D maxed, can be upgraded using Talent Upgrade Tickets) You have a natural affinity for mushrooms and gain the ability to cultivate mushrooms once a day (cultivation time reduced to six hours). Since the player is in a mushroom poisoning state, they gain poison immunity upon entering the game. Players can fuse different items with mushrooms to cultivate new varieties. Note: The functions of new varieties are related to the cultivator's ideas. (The talent is pretty good.)

Titles: Serpent Enchantress (Reduces damage from serpent attacks by 50% and pain by 50%), Serpent Destroyer (Restores 1 HP per hour).

Skill: Guaranteed minimum (7/100)

Equipment: Long sword

Combat strength rating: 38 (In summary, the combat strength is somewhat respectable.)

Note: All items have a maximum value of 100 (so now you know how bad you are!).

Raft Grade: 2 (Very Bad)

[Ding! The mushroom encyclopedia has been unlocked. Please continue to cultivate new varieties.]

A mushroom encyclopedia icon appeared on Xu Jiawei's personal panel. When opened, only two items were lit up: one was basic mushrooms and the other was delicious mushrooms, both of which had a planting option icon below them.

"So, once the encyclopedia is unlocked, I can plant whatever I want?" Xu Jiawei muttered to herself.

"What is a Talent Upgrade Scroll? So, do you need Talent Upgrade Scrolls for everything from D-rank to higher?"

[Please explore on your own (don't ask me everything; the survival system has already been warned for revealing too much information)]

Filled with questions, Xu Jiawei began to use various ingredients to fuse the mushrooms.

[Ding! The bronze block and mushroom have fused to obtain a bronze mushroom (very hard, unsure of its use)]

[Ding! Elite venomous snake meat has been fused with mushrooms to obtain the Venomous Snake Mushroom (with the same effects as the Elite venomous snake meat, possessing very high lethality)]

[Ding! The snake meat and mushroom have been fused to create a snake mushroom (with the same effect as the snake meat, and good lethality)]

Hmm, how come the effect of the fusion is related to the fusion materials?

Xu Jiawei realized that it would take a strong desire for the mushrooms to mutate, so she took out two small mushrooms and silently prayed for good luck.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Luck-Degrading Mushroom. Eating it will reduce your luck by 1. This mushroom is a mutated mushroom created by AAA Mushroom Fairy, carrying the creator's strong wishes. However, due to the creator's own bad luck, the mushroom's effect has been affected, resulting in the opposite of the wish.]

Xu Jiawei: ...Life only has downs, no ups.

[Trailer: Are you there? Let's chat, there's a reward.]

A message popped up, and Xu Jiawei immediately replied when she saw there was a reward.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Let's chat.]

[Leader: Thank you for the information you provided earlier. One of our companions survived today, so your guess was correct. Also, may I ask about your method for attracting monsters? Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to get so many monsters to level up to level 3.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Is it possible that I just attract monster aggro? But I do have a simple and safe way to lure monsters.]

The leader raised an eyebrow; it seemed it was time to discuss terms.

[Leader: What do you want?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: 10 iron nails, 5 hemp ropes, 15 plastics, 5 glass, 10 stones.]

[Leader: Is exchanging this much for a single message a bit excessive?]

The items required are few, but very precious; for example, glass can only be obtained from bronze treasure chests.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Of course, I'll also include a message about talent upgrades.]

The leader immediately asked the system, "System, how do I upgrade my talent?"

[Please explore on your own. (Don't ask me everything; the survival system has already been warned for revealing too much information.)]

[Leader: Okay, I'll go gather supplies.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay, no problem.]

Soon, the leader delivered the supplies.

[System notification: Your friend, the Guide, has gifted you 10 nails, 5 ropes, 15 plastics, 5 glass, and 10 stones. Please check your inventory.]

Upon seeing that the supplies had arrived, Xu Jiawei immediately replied.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: You trust me a lot, sending me everything right away. Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the supplies?]

[Leader: I trust you. We've worked together before, and I don't want to lose a good partner due to trust issues.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: I have a method for fishing for sharks. Sharks are hard to attack on a raft, and you get a lot of experience points. It's very safe. Have you ever gotten a cockroach from a crate?]

[Leader: ??? There's such a thing?]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Cut a little cockroach meat and hang it on a fishing hook to catch sharks.]

Xu Jiawei directly gave the leader a serving of cockroach meat, after all, he was her big customer.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: The second piece of news is that everyone's initial talent is F. You need to explore the two functions of your talent yourself; it should be one active and one passive skill. After upgrading your talent to D level, you'll need to use Talent Upgrade Scrolls to continue improving it.]

We talked about it in the chat channel before. The initial talent is F-level, so Xu Jiawei is so sure.

The man frowned. Did he have to activate his talent himself? It seemed he'd have to experiment with that.

[Leader: Thank you for your help. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. The price is negotiable.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay.]

After talking with the leader, Xu Jiawei began making the workbench and water purifier.

It's called a water purifier, but it's more like a saltwater separator. With this, you won't have to worry about not having salt to eat or water to drink. But you still need to get a bucket first.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Looking to buy a large bucket in exchange for a wooden plank. Price negotiable.]

Xu Jiawei had quite a few wooden boards. Although she couldn't find anything in her boxes, she had many more than others. Perhaps God closes a door but opens a window.

Soon, some people added Xu Jiawei as a friend. The system store was not yet open, so trading was only possible through adding friends.

[Lao Tzu is a god: Twenty wooden planks, will you trade?]

A small bucket, twenty planks—does she look like a sucker?

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Five, fine if you don't want to exchange.]

[System notification: The lucky one has gifted you a water bucket*1. Please check your account.]

Upon seeing the friend request from the lucky guy, Xu Jiawei accepted it.

[The lucky one is here: Let's be friends.]

Xu Jiawei directly sent him a serving of poisonous snake meat.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Okay, here's something for you. Feeding it to a poisonous snake might save your life.]

[Thanks, lucky one! Just let me know if you need anything in the future.]

Even if Lao Tzu were a god, he would have changed. Now Xu Jiawei has two buckets.

After seeing the water purifier start working, Xu Jiawei made a workbench. The workbench can now be used to make basic equipment. The sharkskin is just enough to make a set of basic armor, so Xu Jiawei made a set directly.

[Shark shirt, shark bottoms, shark shoes, and shark hat completed]

[Shark Top: Defense +5, Shark Bottom: Defense +5, Shark Shoes: Speed ​​+5, Shark Hat: Health +10]

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up, and she immediately put the equipment on. With this, she could go to Snake Island to explore tomorrow.
