Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

[Seducing me: We're all going to die, have you ever helped us even once? Back then, if we had followed Mushroom's lead in buying things, at least we wouldn't have died. Now they're not only offering exorbitant prices, but the problem is we simply can't survive!]

[Brother-in-law: I regret it so much!]

[Ye Yezi: Tsk, the sheepfold got wolves and they're already thinking about fixing things, now they're about to die and they remember the big boss, where were they before?]

[Aotian: Do you see Xu Jiawei even paying attention to you? You dare betray me? You just wait!]

Xu Jiawei didn't even look at the system channel at this moment. Even if she did, she would only say "Serves them right" and "Why didn't you do this earlier?" They had jumped around more than once.

After all, once is never enough. He had been following Aotian around day after day, and should have known this day would come.

She's incredibly busy right now, constantly either listing items or cultivating hot water bottle mushrooms. After all, there are only 30 basic materials, and everyone can afford them. Xu Jiawei is doing this even with a limit of one per person.

The hot water bottle mushroom couldn't be too small, otherwise it would be useless. So Xu Jiawei made it the size of a small doll that could be held in one's arms.

Therefore, the quantity planted each time is not large. Xu Jiawei has put it up for sale several times, and it's gone in a second each time. Some people in the chat channel didn't manage to get one, while others have already gotten two or three. Xu Jiawei also thought of this situation, so she changed the limit of one purchase per person per time to a permanent limit of one purchase per person, and will change it back when it's almost sold out.

This method is indeed much better. Xu Jiawei can only do more than 200 at a time, but if she does more than 300 more, almost everyone can get one.

It was so long. Xu Jiawei was getting sleepy from doing it. She didn't know how many times she had done it. After all, it was quite comfortable now, and it wasn't so cold anymore.

The ship started rocking again, and the ice creatures were back. Xu Jiawei didn't go out at all; she left everything to the mushroom guards. After all, the experience gained from these mushrooms would belong to Xu Jiawei, so she didn't need to kill them herself. Now, the hot water bottle mushrooms needed to stop for a while.

Start making Flame Mushrooms. Xu Jiawei only sells Flame Mushrooms when the Frost Creatures attack. She doesn't sell them at other times, mainly because she's afraid someone might hoard them and use them against her.

To avoid this situation, it's best to sell at this time. After all, those who want to stock up are being harassed by the ice creatures, making it difficult for them to camp out and grab the goods. Meanwhile, those who don't have fire mushrooms will keep an eye on the listings in order to survive.

Xu Jiawei looked out the window. There were fewer ice creatures today than yesterday. She didn't know if it was because Xu Jiawei had given feedback to the system and it had been changed. In any case, today's difficulty was lower than yesterday's.

This attack ended quickly.

Xu Jiawei put away the Frost Beads and continued making hot water bottle mushrooms.

But even the feedback from the later stages has yielded results, so why hasn't there been a result yet for her ship's feedback?

[Ding! Hello player AAA Mushroom Fairy, both issues you reported have been resolved. 1. Regarding the issue of heat loss due to the ship's increased size, the system provides a solution: for every 100 square meters increase in ship area, one fireplace will be added free of charge.]

[2. Regarding the natural disaster issue, the system has reviewed the situation and found that the game difficulty setting was unreasonable. The difficulty has been lowered. Thank you for reporting the system bug. We wish you a pleasant life.]

It seems this is the first time they've made a game with a survival system, no wonder some of the difficulty levels are completely unreasonable.

It's a real trap, though. Sooner or later, this system will ruin me.

Xu Jiawei spent the entire day making hot water bottle mushrooms. Only when sales slowed down did she stop and rest for a while before sending the ingredients to Si Yunming.

Looking at Si Yunming's avatar, Xu Jiawei fell into deep thought. After the last event, Si Yunming reached level 10. She wondered what race he had awakened.

Both of us can use the seventh floor revisit pass we got when climbing the tower before, so maybe we can go together.

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: Three O'Clock Bro, what race did you awaken? Maybe we can go together with the seventh floor revisit pass we got on the treasure map.]

[...: My racial awakening is that of a dragon, which complements my talents. I basically don't need to drink recovery potions anymore, and my base stats and maximum stats have increased. I've also gained a skill.]

[AAA Mushroom Fairy: That must be pretty amazing. My race is the Mushroom God, as you saw in the last event, so I won't go into details. How about we head straight to the seventh floor after the natural disaster is over?]

[...]: Okay, sure.

Si Yunming quickly finished cooking and gave a portion to Xu Jiawei. Xu Jiawei gave Si Yunming some hot water bottles and mushrooms to put in the room to raise the temperature, since he still had to cook, and how could he cook when it was too cold?

The next day, Xu Jiawei woke up in the warmth. She was a little tired yesterday, so taking a nap was nice. Xu Jiawei looked at the thermometer mushroom placed outside; it had already reached minus 50 degrees Celsius.

A drop of 10 degrees Celsius per day is manageable, but on the last day, wouldn't the temperature drop to over -100 degrees Celsius?

Xu Jiawei was thinking too simply. Don't forget that the severity of the natural disaster will double in the last week.

Hsu Chia-Wei continued selling hot water bottle mushrooms today. Just last night, another 2000 people died, freezing to death in their sleep.

The indoor temperature was fine today, not much different from yesterday. It was probably because there was an extra fireplace that the indoor temperature wasn't so low. Little Bronze was busy again, running back and forth adding firewood, having a great time.

Little Bronze is getting happier the busier he is.

Xu Jiawei contacted and chatted with several friends, worried that they might freeze to death because they didn't have enough things, especially Si Yunming, who was really poor. Xu Jiawei video-chatted with him to check on his condition. After the observation, she sent him a lot of hot water bottles and mushrooms.

After all, he's my provider, so I'm waiting for him to cook. I hope he doesn't catch a cold.

"By the way, do you have a thick blanket or need any clothes? I'll make some for you," Xu Jiawei asked.

"I have plenty of blankets and clothes, so you don't need to worry." Si Yunming even took out his own things to show Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei sighed, "I don't know what to do in the next few days. What if it really drops to minus 100 degrees on the last day?" She wondered if the hot water bottle mushroom would still be effective then.

They probably won't die, but they shouldn't be crippled by the cold.

"I think it will drop to -200 degrees Celsius. You forgot, the intensity of the last natural disaster doubled, and this time should be no exception." Si Yunming's voice was very calm, as if the natural disaster had nothing to do with him.

Xu Jiawei was taken aback. She had indeed forgotten about this. It seemed she would have to make more hot water bottle mushrooms, otherwise the orders would explode again.

For the next few days, Xu Jiawei spent all her time making hot water bottle mushrooms and flame mushrooms, without taking any rest, working day and night.

During the last week of the natural disaster, Xu Jiawei was woken up by the cold after only a short nap. The temperature around her suddenly dropped rapidly, and even hot water bottles and mushrooms were no longer effective.

Xu Jiawei is now unable to move without the hot water bottle mushroom, so surrounded by the enchanted hot water bottle mushroom, she looks at the thermometer mushroom through the window.

-90 degrees Celsius!
