Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

The current temperature is bearable, but in a few days, with the natural disaster, the temperature will probably be so high that even electric blankets won't be useful. She must be fully prepared.

After all, she couldn't possibly fill the room with stoves; she would either freeze to death or die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

So Xu Jiawei doesn't plan to put any other stoves in the house except for the fireplace. However, the cauldron stove should work, since it's really magical and can start fires even without burning things. The cauldron has been indoors for so long, if it were going to have a problem, it would have done so long ago.

After all, she practiced all day long in a stuffy, airtight place.

So Xu Jiawei prepared to move the crucible to the fireplace, place her small wooden bed between the fireplace and the crucible, and of course, she couldn't do without an electric blanket, just to make do. Xu Jiawei put all her thick quilts on the bed before she finished.

However, this place is still too spacious, and the temperature never rises. If only a wall could be built around it, she could stay in this room and not go out.

After preparing everything, Xu Jiawei snuggled into the blankets. Just a moment ago, her legs were so cold that her hands and feet were stiff, and she was shivering all over. Right, maybe she could improve the Flame Mushroom and see if she could make it into a mushroom with the same effect as a hand warmer.

So Xu Jiawei took out the Flame Mushroom. The Flame Mushroom is cool when not in use, but it will produce flames when thrown out, which can burn people.

It would be great if the Flame Mushroom could constantly emit a constant temperature of heat.

Perhaps add water like a hot water bottle, or add ice to neutralize it.

Xu Jiawei now has the Frost Pearl, so perhaps she could give it a try. Thus, Xu Jiawei fused the Frost Pearl with the Flame Mushroom, forming a transparent mushroom.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained the Thermometer Mushroom. The Thermometer Mushroom changes its own temperature according to the surrounding temperature, displaying different colors as the temperature changes. It is a mutated mushroom fused with the creator AAA Mushroom Fairy, carrying the creator's strong wishes.]

The thermometer mushroom was different from what she had imagined, and its ability to change its own temperature according to the surrounding temperature was completely useless.

Could it be that the Ice Beads are too powerful? Let's try using ordinary snow.

So, Xu Jiawei dressed herself up again and stepped out of her wooden boat, then jumped directly onto the sea. The ice on the sea was very thick. After Xu Jiawei jumped off the boat, she found that the snow was still falling and the cold wind was biting, seemingly blowing through her clothes.

Xu Jiawei grabbed a handful of snow and fused it with the flame mushroom.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining a low-grade Flame Mushroom. The low-grade Flame Mushroom has a lower temperature and is a mutated mushroom fused by the creator AAA Mushroom Fairy, carrying the creator's strong wishes.]

This still didn't work; ordinary snow wouldn't do, the effect was too poor. So Xu Jiawei went straight back to the raft and took off the ice-breaking equipment she had obtained from opening the chest earlier.

Perhaps trying ice cubes might work.

The tip of the icebreaker was a spiral shape, so Xu Jiawei stood the icebreaker upright on the ice and started it up, and the icebreaker began to rotate downwards.

She quickly dug out a hole, then threw the Flame Mushroom into it and used her talent again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Boiling Mushroom. The temperature has reached 100 degrees Celsius. It is a mutated mushroom fused by the creator AAA Mushroom Fairy, carrying the creator's strong wishes.]

Well, the boiling mushroom is alright, but you can't hold it for long unless you wrap it in thick cotton cloth. It's fine at first, but after a few days the heat will probably be too much to handle.

It would be great if I could just hold it in my arms.

Xu Jiawei frowned, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She slapped her forehead, realizing she had been thinking too much about merging with real objects. Perhaps she could try merging with a mushroom. So Xu Jiawei took out an ordinary mushroom and threw it into the ice cave.

I began to pray in my heart.

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

Then fuse the Ice Mushroom and the Flame Mushroom together.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Hot Water Bottle Mushroom. It's a very warm mushroom, perfect for sleeping with. It's a mutated mushroom fused by the creator, AAA Mushroom Fairy, and carries the creator's strong wishes.]

Complete. Xu Jiawei hugged the hot water bottle mushroom to her chest, as if it were a hand warmer.

Xu Jiawei climbed onto the boat, shivering. It was so cold.

Xu Jiawei had to climb up several times before she finally made it onto the boat. The biting cold wind only stopped after she got on. I don't know how the others managed to endure it. Did they all stay indoors and not go out?

The temperature currently shown on the thermometer is around -40 degrees Celsius. Of course, this is the temperature inside the protective shield; the outside temperature is probably even lower.

Xu Jiawei walked stiffly into the house. It wasn't that she didn't want to run in, but she was too cold to run. Once inside, she quickly crawled into bed. After warming up a bit, she planted hot water bottle mushrooms all over the floor.

Xu Jiawei used a spirit-attaching technique to make the mushrooms grow hands and feet, and they climbed onto the bed and surrounded it.

Instantly, Xu Jiawei felt her whole body become very warm, as if she were taking a hot bath, and her stiff limbs relaxed.

"Wow, I'm so happy! I never knew happiness could be so simple." Xu Jiawei was on the verge of tears. Heaven knows how frozen she had been these past few days. Now that she felt the long-lost warmth, she immediately felt that there was still hope for this messed-up world.

With the current temperatures so high, one could easily freeze to death. Xu Jiawei plans to sell stoves, clothes, and quilts, as well as hot water bottles and mushrooms, to help more people survive and strive to be number one on the contribution list.

Use the talent again to plant hot water bottle mushrooms on the indoor floor. After planting, have the working mushrooms harvest them and put them up for sale by Xu Jiawei. The price will be set at 30 random basic resources.

As soon as these hot water bottle mushrooms were put on the shelves, they were immediately welcomed by the market, and everyone urged Xu Jiawei to continue putting them on the shelves.

However, some people couldn't stand it, namely the few who had been blacklisted by Xu Jiawei. This was because Xu Jiawei had a rule that all the items she listed were prohibited from being resold to the blacklisted individuals. This rule was monitored by the system, and if anyone violated it, the system would notify Xu Jiawei and she would be blacklisted immediately.

So nobody dared to sell to them.

Lin Jiaqi huddled under the covers, shivering. The inability to buy things like hot water bottles and mushrooms fueled her deep resentment. Why could others live better lives? All she could do was tremble under the covers.

The supplies Lin Wenshi gave her were only enough to survive, nothing more. The electric blanket couldn't even get her warm.

Lin Jiaqi thought bitterly of Xu Jiawei, vowing that once her older brother arrived, he would make her suffer!

[Brother-in-law: @AAAMushroomFairy, I was wrong. Could you sell me some? I'm freezing to death. I shouldn't have cursed you. I can accept whatever you say to me, please remove me from your blacklist.]

[Seducing me: Me too, I'm dying, I regret it so much, please forgive me.]

[Aotian: Are you betraying me, you traitors!]
