[Ranking Reward: 20 Random S+ Grade Plant Seeds.]
“I’m not surprised anymore. This is only the sixth place, but the reward of 20 random S+ Grade plant seeds has been given out.”
“That’s right. I really don’t dare to imagine just how terrifying the remaining rewards will be!”
“Could it be that this year’s first Vicious Tide will be three times stronger than last year’s?”
“That’s impossible! If it’s three times stronger than before, then even the ordinary beasts would be Level 2 beasts!”
“How is that impossible? With such rewards, I would believe you even if you said that the Vicious Tide would be five times stronger than before, let alone three times!”
“This is simply ridiculous!”
Melville looked at the ranking he had obtained and was very angry.
This was because he was so close to entering the top five.
One had to know that the difference in rewards given for each ranking in the island world was like heaven and earth.
It was very likely that since he had missed out on the fifth place this time, he would never be able to catch up to others in the future.
In fact, he could only remain useless, like an item collecting dust in a corner.
Therefore, he was very angry. However, he thought about it.
His position was probably the best because the corporations were all united.
Thus, once something happened, the strongest would definitely be at the forefront.
Meanwhile, the weakest would be responsible for some trivial matters.
However, his position was just right. He did not have to take too much risk, but he could also be at leisure and take advantage of the situation.
When he thought of this, the anger in his heart subsided a little.
Meanwhile, the rankings were still constantly updating.

[Ranking Reward: 20 Random SS-Grade Plant Seeds.]
“Gosh, SS-Grade plant seeds? What is this?”
“Just by looking at the name, I can tell that SS-Grade plant seeds are one level above S-Grade plant seeds. I reckon that the fruit it grows into will definitely be even more powerful!”
“If that’s the case, then new material on seeds will have to be added around the world once again.”
“That’s right, but I don’t know exactly what functions these SS-Grade plant seeds have.”
“I think that the large corporations will explain that.”
“Are you retarded or do you think the corporations are retarded?”
“That’s right. This is their trump card. If you ask them to tell you about the functions, will they actually tell you?”
Unlike the superficial thoughts shared on the forum, Clyde was currently discussing this matter with his father.
[Clyde’s Father: You got fifth place on the island rankings this time. Not bad.]
[Clyde: Thank you for your praise, Father, but should we consider what to do with the rewards I received?]
[Clyde’s Father: Well, you’re right. If you have any ideas, tell me.]
[Clyde: Father, I think we should publicize the information about this seed. This way, we can attract a large number of small corporations to enter the island world.]
[Clyde’s Father: Well, that makes sense.]
[Clyde: Then, Father, what do you think?]
[Clyde’s Father: Let me think about it.]
[Clyde: Okay, Father.]
The two ended their call just like that.
At that moment, the island world rankings were still being refreshed.

[Ranking Reward: 50 Random SS-Grade Plant Seeds.]
“It’s over, it’s over. That’s 50 SS-Grade plant seeds. This time, the monopoly of the corporations won’t be wiped clean.”
“That’s right. Basically, all the good rewards have been monopolized by these corporations. We commoners have no way out.”
“What can we do? All these years, the corporations have been controlling us and the country has been ignoring us. Our lives have been miserable for a long time.”
“Didn’t those 500 workers last year who died from fatigue get no compensation in return?”
“What can we do about that? We don’t have the talent and the support of the corporations. How can we possibly compare to those corporations?”
“I really hope that a commoner will step out from the island world and break the monopoly of the corporations.”
“Forget it! It’s more reasonable to just dream about it. How can this possibly happen?”
Vernal looked at his rewards from the rankings and was extremely happy.
This was because 50 SS-Grade plant seeds could allow him to create an SS-Grade ability user team.
At that time, his corporate family would become one of the top families in the world.
Then, he would become the initiator of his family’s golden age.
His deeds would be spread by word of mouth in his own family.
He would also be conferred the title of the most powerful family head by his own family.
Furthermore, he would become extremely powerful in the real world.
At the thought of this, he became extremely happy.
With such achievements, how could he not be happy?
However, just as he was feeling happy, the island world rankings began to refresh.

[Ranking Reward: 20 Random SS+ Grade Plant Seeds.]
“What? Weren’t the SS-Grade plant seeds of the highest grade? There are actually SS+ Grade plant seeds? This is simply unbelievable.”
“Indeed, isn’t it too much to have 20 random SS+ Grade plant seeds?”
“That’s right. This is only the third place. If he only got 20 random SS+ Grade plant seeds, what rewards would the first two get?”
“To be honest, I really don’t understand the rankings for this year’s island Rookie King.”
The forum was filled with surprise, but Judith was surprisingly calm.
In his heart, even if he was not first, he should at least be second!
Furthermore, he had already done his calculations and knew all the famous families in the real world.
After excluding his own family, only the Alfred family remained.
If he was third, it meant that the Alfred family was either first or second.
It would be fine if Alfred was ranked first.
However, if Alfred was ranked second, something would be wrong.
