Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

Si Yunming glanced at him, and Li Ming awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Xu Jiawei finished tidying up the dishes and looked up at Si Yunming: "Brother San Dian, can I ask you something? Can you teach me how to cook? I won't take it for free, I'll pay tuition."

Si Yunming nodded: "Okay, you provide the ingredients."

Xu Jiawei immediately agreed.

After finishing their meal, the group prepared to continue their search for the dark creature. They had only sat there for a short while and felt their bodies were frozen stiff, so they had to get up and move around.

Xu Jiawei was a little better off wearing the dress Bai Yu had given her, but her legs were still frozen stiff.

"The weather is getting colder and colder!" Li Ming stood up and rubbed his arms.

"Comrades, I have a feeling that in a few days we won't be able to leave the house at all, and we'll only be able to keep warm around the stove in the wooden hut," Zhang Yunting said.

Xu Jiawei agreed, "We need to hurry while we can still go out."

"I'll give each of you a warm piece of clothing when the time comes. Unfortunately, my talent level isn't high enough right now, so I can only make purple-grade equipment," Bai Yu said to the group.

Zhang Yunting exclaimed as if he had discovered some genius: "Miss Bai can actually make purple equipment? That's amazing. I wonder if you'd be interested in cooperating with us?"

Bai Yu was a little embarrassed: "I'm not very efficient, so I might not be able to produce in large quantities."

"It's alright, we'll discuss it again when we get back." After Zhang Yunting finished speaking, he encountered another wave of demonic creatures.

"There are more and more of these mutated creatures!" Li Ming complained.

"It feels like these small islands have become the lair of mutated creatures."

Xu Jiawei speculated, "Perhaps this is why the world accepts us, allowing us to clean up the demonized creatures."

Soon it was time to return to the ship, and the group divided their spoils and headed back.

[A lucky winner here: Brothers and sisters, I have one last Island Pass left. I haven't been getting any Island Passes from loot boxes lately.]

[Bai Yu: I have one more.]

[...: The event should be coming to an end.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Our points are already far ahead of everyone else's, so one more or one less day doesn't matter. Besides, we won't be able to leave the house in a few days, so even if we could get the points, we wouldn't be able to use them.]

[Akagi: I have some news. The event ends in three days.]

[The European Emperor is here: As expected of a large organization, their information network is incredibly efficient.]

After returning home, Zhang Yunting acted as a go-between and established a partnership with Bai Yu.

After returning home, Xu Jiawei began to work hard to refine potions and practice her skills. However, as the weather grew colder, even though Xu Jiawei had lit the fireplace, her hands and feet were still frozen stiff. It was alright when she was making potions, as she was near the crucible and the fire provided some warmth, but it was not enough when she was practicing her skills.

Xu Jiawei felt cold, extremely cold, her entire arm was trembling, and even her energy flow was disrupted.

So Xu Jiawei simply added another bed to the practice room and also placed an electric blanket. Xu Jiawei sat cross-legged on the bed, and felt much better after covering herself with the blanket, and continued practicing her skill proficiency.

Two days later, they had used up all their island passes, and on the third day they all stayed at home by the fireplace.

Xu Jiawei finally had enough time to practice. She hoped to use this time to meet all the teacher's requirements and then take the certification exam after the natural disaster.

However, it seemed that fate didn't want her to be idle. Suddenly, the entire ship began to shake, as if it had been hit by something. The sea was frozen over, so it shouldn't be a shark. Why would any animals be out in this weather?

Xu Jiawei put on another down jacket, and then put on her hat, gloves, and scarf before going out.

Xu Jiawei looked at the white creatures crashing against the protective shield and suddenly realized that she had seen these creatures before. She never expected that these icy creatures would actually come to the surface of the sea to attack the raft.

They seemed determined to devour Xu Jiawei, their mouths watering as they stared intently at her.

The patrolling mushrooms began to fight back, but there were simply too many ice creatures, and the patrolling mushrooms were no match for them.

Rainbow had no choice but to release all her minions, and the mushrooms and ice creatures engaged in a fierce battle.

The ice creatures have incredibly strong regenerative abilities, and Xu Jiawei's arrows are too unpredictable, making it impossible for her to deal with them. If only she had fire-type skills.

Xu Jiawei suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She slapped her forehead, went inside, went to the fireplace, and threw a mushroom in.

Little Bronze was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin. After all, the mushroom that was thrown in was practically its brother. Little Bronze looked at Xu Jiawei with teary eyes, as if to say: Master, don't throw me in, I'm very useful.

Unfortunately, Xu Jiawei didn't see it; she was desperately trying to imagine it in her mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Flame Mushroom, a mutated mushroom fused by the creator AAA Mushroom Fairy, carrying the creator's strong wishes.]

Success! Xu Jiawei instantly activated her talent, and countless flame mushrooms sprouted from the floor of the room. Xu Jiawei then used the Spirit Attachment Technique, and the flame mushrooms grew arms and legs and rushed out in a swarm. Once the flame mushrooms joined the battle, the situation changed instantly.

The mushrooms, who had been struggling to survive, finally had a way to kill the ice creatures.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have defeated 7 Calamity Creatures and gained 70 Experience Points and 7 Ice Beads.]

The Frost Pearl can produce cold, but it's useless to Xu Jiawei right now. However, if she can produce extreme cold, then extreme heat is also possible.

Xu Jiawei's words have come true.

......

Soon, thanks to the mushrooms' efforts, most of the ice creatures were cleared out, while the remaining ice creatures hurriedly fled for their lives.

Xu Jiawei didn't chase after her; instead, she opened the chat channel.

[Unstructured: Help! Those white-haired creatures are about to smash us up!]

[Phone switched off: I'm dying, brothers, see you in the next life.]

After saying that, the profile picture went black, and the entire chat channel was filled with wails of despair. The number of survivors was dropping rapidly, and the situation was extremely dire.

[The lucky one is here: Use fire! These things are afraid of fire!]

Help me: Torches are useless!

[Season: Fire-type skills are useful, everyone! Keep going! Survive!]

[Great Guy: I don't have any fire-type skills, help!]

Xu Jiawei tried throwing the un-enchanted Flame Mushroom out, and flames instantly ignited on the ice surface. It seems that the Flame Mushroom is very strong even without enchantment.

Seeing the rapidly decreasing number of people, Xu Jiawei made a decision instantly. She activated her talent, and countless Flame Mushrooms grew. Xu Jiawei called all the working mushrooms to pick them and put the Flame Mushrooms on the shelves, limiting each person to 10. In less than a minute, the Flame Mushrooms were all snapped up.

[After the servers are merged: Someone is selling Flame Mushrooms, they're very useful!]

[Shuttlecock Head: You're obviously a Mushroom Master, thank you Master!]

[Family: I missed out! Could you please restock? Please!]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Don't worry, everyone, there are plenty.]

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, she continued to put the mushrooms on the shelves. Fortunately, her talent had been upgraded, and she could have as many mushrooms as she wanted.

The price wasn't high either, since it was a business with no initial investment. Xu Jiawei priced it at 10 mushrooms per set and sold it for 100 basic materials.

It wasn't until midnight that the brutal tide of icy creatures finally ended, and the survivors shared their ordeal in the chat channel.
