Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

However, before heading to Snake Island, they would need some snake meat. Seeing that it was almost midnight on the third day, Xu Jiawei waited a while and planted the highly venomous snake mushrooms. She would be able to harvest a pot of highly venomous snake mushrooms when she woke up tomorrow morning to use them to deal with the Snake King.

I slept soundly without any dreams, but I did feel that the weather was a little chilly.

[Ocean Survival Calendar Day 03, 06:30 Weather: Cloudy]

Arriving at the petri dish, the mushrooms were lush and green, with nearly 20 mushrooms. Although I wanted to bring more snake meat before setting off, someone on the leader's side had already killed the elite monster, so getting the island pass wouldn't be difficult. There should be a reward for being the first, so I had to seize the opportunity.

Set up the fishing rod and net; today's treasure chest depends on them. Head back to the workbench and craft a bronze mining pickaxe and a bronze axe. How can you go out without having all the equipment? Luckily, basic tools and equipment don't require blueprints.

Having prepared everything, it was exactly seven o'clock, and Xu Jiawei used her Snake Island pass directly.

Xu Jiawei disappeared on the raft and reappeared on the island the next second.

[Congratulations, player, on entering Snake Island. Difficulty: 5 stars. Time limit: 12 hours. You will be automatically teleported back to the raft when the time is up.]

[Congratulations to the player who was the first to land on the island! You are eligible for a reward, with three options: 1. Luck Points...]

After receiving the reward, Xu Jiawei began to explore. The island was full of trees, and the trees were full of poisonous snakes. No wonder the difficulty was five stars. Without the antidote, being bitten would mean certain death.

Xu Jiawei walked deeper into Snake Island. Passing by an orange tree, she picked one and tasted it. It was a bit sour, but not bad. So she picked all the oranges she could.

After walking a while, we came across another apple tree. Snake Island has a lot of fruit, probably because snakes don't eat fruit.

Xu Jiawei was still focused on picking fruit when a chill ran down her spine. She pulled out her long knife and became alert.

[The Serpent King has detected players entering the island. Good luck!]

As soon as the system notification sounded, Xu Jiawei immediately found a place with complicated terrain and waited for the snake king to arrive. With a strange rustling sound, a snake that was almost as thick as two people could hug crawled in front of Xu Jiawei and looked down at her. Xu Jiawei swallowed hard, feeling scared, but her eyes gradually became firm.

Strike first to gain the upper hand. Xu Jiawei raised her knife and slashed forward. At that moment, the Snake King hissed, and countless venomous snakes rushed forward in a frenzy. No wonder the snakes did not attack Xu Jiawei after she arrived; they were obeying the Snake King's command.

Fortunately, I was wearing protective gear today, so the snakes couldn't bite through me.

There were many venomous snakes, and Xu Jiawei could kill several with a single swing of her sword. The snakes kept attacking, but Xu Jiawei leaned against a rock to shield herself, wielding her long sword with great force.

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement of killing over 100 venomous snakes. Title upgraded to Snake Destroyer (Level 2, upgradable). This title restores 1 HP every 30 minutes (only those with strong physiques can kill snakes)]

Your title has been upgraded, thank you! But now is not the time to think about that, there are too many snakes.

The snake king hissed, knowing that Xu Jiawei was wearing armor and could not be harmed, so it ordered the venomous snakes to attack Xu Jiawei's neck, hands, and face.

Xu Jiawei cursed inwardly and began to dodge while swinging her knife. However, she still made a mistake. A venomous snake bit her neck, reducing her health by 0.5. A momentary lapse in judgment can lead to a series of mistakes. Soon, Xu Jiawei's health dropped by two points.

The situation was already quite troublesome, and now the Snake King had summoned elite venomous snakes. Xu Jiawei looked annoyed, wondering if she was going to die here.

However, the abundance of basilisks has its advantages. For example, the ground is littered with basilisk corpses, which attracts the attention of many basilisks.

This relieved Xu Jiawei of a lot of pressure. Since the title could be upgraded, Xu Jiawei began to kill the snake monsters on the ground that were affected by the snake meat, upgrade the title to restore her health, and even pick up the snake corpses on the ground and throw them at the elite snake monsters.

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement of killing more than 500 venomous snakes. Title upgraded to Snake Destroyer (Level 3, upgradable). This title restores 1 HP every 10 minutes.]

The Snake King immediately sensed something was wrong. With a hiss, the venomous snakes reluctantly abandoned their snake meat and chased after Xu Jiawei. Seeing that their underlings couldn't kill Xu Jiawei, even the Snake King himself was mobilized. He opened his mouth wide and attacked Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei narrowly dodged, panting heavily, as she was running out of energy.

After slaying another elite venomous snake, Xu Jiawei's health dropped to 50 points. At this rate, she definitely wouldn't survive.

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement of killing 5 or more elite venomous snakes. Title upgraded to Snake Destroyer (Level 4, upgradable). This title restores 5 HP per minute (only those with strong physiques can kill snakes)]

Killing elite snakes can also upgrade your title! Seeing hope, Xu Jiawei slashed even harder.

However, she was too exhausted to dodge in time and was hit by the snake king, losing 10 points of health in one go, even with a 50% damage reduction.

Xu Jiawei struggled to her feet, the pain from the impact causing her to spasm repeatedly. She couldn't go on like this. The complicated area was meant to help her deal with the snake king and shield her back, but it also hindered her progress. She couldn't see which way the venomous snake was coming from, so she had to go to an open area.

Xu Jiawei ran towards the beach.

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement of killing 10 or more elite venomous snakes. Title upgraded to Snake Destroyer (Level 5, upgradable). This title restores 1 HP per minute (only those with strong physiques can kill snakes)]

[Congratulations on reaching level 4! You have received 1 Free Attribute Point. You are the first player in the entire server to reach level 4 and will receive the following rewards: 1. Luck +1; 2. 3 Free Attribute Points; 3. 3 Random Potions (The third one is specifically for combat, I deliberately put it last because I guess you won't see the rest and will only choose 1)]

Seeing this, Xu Jiawei thought about it carefully. Option three still offered a chance to survive. If a healing potion or a physical potion was prescribed, there would be a chance to fight back.

"3! I choose 3!"

The system paused for a moment.

[Ding! Congratulations, player! You have obtained 1 Stamina Potion, 1 Mana Potion, and 1 Health Potion (You're not choosing one?)]

Xu Jiawei's eyes lit up. Energy potion, not bad. She immediately poured it into her mouth, and all her fatigue vanished.

—Half an hour later—

Xu Jiawei's stamina was exhausted again, and her health dropped below 10 points. She swallowed a health potion, and her health returned to 40 points.

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the achievement of killing over 1000 venomous snakes! Title upgraded to "Snake Reaper" at max level. This title restores 3 health points per minute. Note: This title is unique (Wow, awesome!)]

Has it become the only title, just like the "Snake Charm" title?

Xu Jiawei stopped. They had reached the beach. The venomous snakes left tracks on the sand, and Xu Jiawei could clearly see the snake tracks.

Furthermore, your health regenerates by 3 points per minute. As long as you dodge the Snake King and the Elite Poisonous Snake, you have a chance to win.

Seeing that the human had stopped running and even dared to turn back, the snake king angrily opened its mouth wide, wanting to bite Xu Jiawei to death.

Xu Jiawei dodged again, grateful to the monster that opened the box for giving her ample experience in dodging attacks, and Xu Jiawei's knife finally struck the snake king for the first time.

The belated system notification finally sounded.

[Ding! Player has encountered a level 7 boss, the Venomous Serpent King. A limited-time quest has been activated: Defeat the boss to receive generous rewards.]
