Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Xu Jiawei looked at Bai Yu with some amazement. Bai Yu was wearing a very gorgeous and cute Lolita-style dress, seemingly unaffected by the cold wind.

"Long time no see, Jiawei. This is a dress I made myself. Do you like it?"

Bai Yu took out a very Lolita-style dress from her backpack, handed it to Xu Jiawei, and looked at Xu Jiawei expectantly, thinking that she would look absolutely beautiful in the dress.

Xu Jiawei picked it up and looked at it. The style of this dress was very similar to the one Bai Yu was wearing. It was very girlish. Xu Jiawei didn't expect that such a mature and sophisticated person would have such a cute hobby.

[Special Attire: Crafted by player Rainfall, this garment offers excellent insulation, increasing the perceived temperature by 10 degrees Celsius.]

Xu Jiawei looked at Bai Yu in amazement, "Bai Yu, you're amazing! I never knew there were clothes with this kind of effect. I really like it, thank you."

Bai Yu scratched her head, a little embarrassed: "Oh, it's alright, as long as you like it."

"Hey Bai Yu, could you make one for me too? I'll pay for it." Li Ming asked, still shivering a little despite being dressed in thick clothes.

It's hard to tell how thick Li Ming's clothes are, since some equipment covers up the clothes, making them look thin, like Xu Jiawei's robes and dress.

The dress that Bai Yu gave to Xu Jiawei was also like this.

"Okay, I'll make it for you when I get back," Bai Yu readily agreed.

After finishing their conversation, Xu Jiawei looked at the snow-capped mountain in front of her and asked, "Should we climb the mountain or take a detour?" Then she turned her gaze to Li Ming.

Li Ming scratched his head and said, "Sis, I feel like the snow mountain is dangerous, like there's something dangerous there, but I also feel like there's something to gain."

After Li Ming made a contract with Mei Mei, his senses became more acute, and he vaguely felt some unease.

Meimei jumped out of Li Ming's arms, stood arrogantly on Li Ming's head, and called out. Li Ming quickly translated, "Meimei wants us to come over. Meimei, why did you run out? Aren't you cold?"

The three-legged toad slapped Li Ming again, but Li Ming remained unfazed and continued to slap it.

Xu Jiawei twitched her lips: "You two seem to have a pretty good relationship."

"Of course, Meimei is the love of my life now, isn't she, Meimei?" Li Ming looked at the three-legged toad with deep affection.

The three-legged toad disdainfully turned Li Ming's face away, but its eyes couldn't hide its smugness.

"Seeing you two getting along so well makes me feel relieved." Xu Jiawei realized that Li Ming was becoming more and more abnormal, and she wondered what he would become in the future.

Si Yunming silently took two steps back, afraid of being infected by Li Ming.

Bai Yu stared in disbelief at the scene before her. Had the world gone so mad that she no longer recognized it? Where was she? Was this still Earth?

Oh, no.

With so many people dying in this game every day, she could understand why some people were driven to become somewhat abnormal by the stress.

Bai Yu desperately tried to convince herself, finally letting out a long howl to the sky: "No, I don't understand! Why do you all take it all for granted!"

Xu Jiawei patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "I feel crazy too, you're not the only one."

Bai Yu was a little numb, so Xu Jiawei handed the rainbow to Bai Yu. Bai Yu's eyes lit up: "Ahhh, what an adorable little mushroom, so cute! What's your name?"

"Aww, my name is Rainbow. I am my master's most powerful general. Even if you like me, I can't go with you." Rainbow obediently stayed in Bai Yu's arms, but her gaze remained fixed on Xu Jiawei.

Seeing that Bai Yu had returned to normal, the group set off for the snow mountain. The snow path was very slippery, and they climbed up carefully. They were very grateful to Bai Yu for providing several pairs of snow boots, which made things much easier.

As Bai Yu walked, she looked at Caihong with a maternal smile, dressed Caihong in a pretty little dress, and even tied a bow in her hair. Caihong looked at her outfit with some shyness.

"Master, do I look good?" Rainbow ran up to Xu Jiawei in two steps.

"Beautiful!" Xu Jiawei didn't hold back her praise at all, making Caihong even more shy.

Halfway up the mountain, Xu Jiawei saw some plants growing in the snow, which looked like snow lotus, but she didn't know what they were used for.

[Snow Lotus: Can be used to make special potions. Players are encouraged to explore on their own. (Be careful!)]

"Be careful of what? Is the snow lotus poisonous?" The group looked at the snow lotus with great vigilance. In the end, Xu Jiawei took the initiative and said, "I'll go. I'm not afraid of poison. You guys be on guard."

Indeed, there was no better choice than Xu Jiawei, so the group could only nod in agreement, while becoming even more wary.

Xu Jiawei slowly moved towards the snow lotus. When she was about 5 meters away from the snow lotus, a sudden change occurred. Thorny vines stretched out from the ground and attacked Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei reacted quickly and cut the vines with her sword. In the blink of an eye, countless vines flew over and attacked. The others rushed forward to help.

Xu Jiawei dared not use the parasitic spores, after all, ruining the herbs would be a waste of time, so the group could only keep attacking the vines.

After cutting for a long time, the vines showed no signs of decreasing, and the lotus flowers grew there quietly, seemingly unrelated to everything.

Si Yunming released black substance, seemingly intending to launch a sneak attack, but it was firmly blocked by the vines.

"I have a way, you guys hold the vines back," Xu Jiawei shouted.

Without further ado, the group attacked even more fiercely.

Xu Jiawei directly used the invisibility cloak's invisibility function, which was the first time she had used it in actual combat. Soon, Xu Jiawei's figure disappeared, making her invisible and intangible.

Si Yunming was surprised for a moment, but then recovered.

Xu Jiawei slowly crept up to the snow lotus, completely unnoticed by the vines. Xu Jiawei took a deep breath, knowing that her invisibility would disappear once she started attacking, so she had to be fully prepared.

Xu Jiawei had planned her route. With one slash, she cut down three lotus flowers, revealing her figure. The vines instantly became enraged and attacked Xu Jiawei. The three people and the mushroom quickly used all their strength to hold back the vines.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 3 Snow Lotuses]

As planned, Xu Jiawei swung her knife again, and while the three people and the mushroom were holding back the vines, she swiftly brought down her knife and harvested more than a dozen snow lotuses.

Once the vines had broken free from the entanglement of the three people and the mushroom and returned to defend, Xu Jiawei had already run back. "Let's go!"

After saying that, Xu Jiawei took the lead and ran in the opposite direction of the snow lotus. Although there were still a few flowers that she hadn't had time to pick, these were enough. She should leave some for the vines.

After running for more than ten minutes, seeing that the vines were not chasing them, they stopped.

Xu Jiawei divided the snow lotus she had picked among herself, but the others waved their hands in refusal. Bai Yu said, "We're not pharmacists, so this is useless to us. Just give it to us when you have something useful."

"Okay, you can have a larger share of anything else you find later. If I can't find it, I'll give you something else."

After they finished speaking, the group walked forward. The higher they went, the colder it got, and they saw many animal carcasses lying on the ground all around them.

"Sister, did all these animals freeze to death? That's so pitiful," Li Ming said.

Xu Jiawei stepped forward to examine them, her expression changing drastically: "These things are all alive! They're just sleeping!"
