At this, Lu Hu glanced at Fang Zhou. He recalled that this wealthy young man had already consumed four types of Attribute Secret Medicines and added, "Alternatively, they can be exchanged for contribution points of equivalent value. Additionally, there is one [Miniature Space Storage Capsule] and one [No.1 Seed Medal] that can receive a specified Enchantment!"

For many of the spectating cadets in the stands, this was the first time they were learning the specific rewards for the No.1 Seed. Despite being mentally prepared, the sheer richness of the rewards still sent a wave of uproar through the crowd, and their breathing grew uncontrollably heavy.

The initial rewards were one thing. 300 contribution points, three pieces of White Ordinary-grade Equipment, and four bottles of Apprentice-level Attribute Secret Medicine—all of that was well and good. These were rewards they could eventually exchange for from the Sea City Military Academy's resource library once their strength and clearance level increased. Although the total value reached an astonishing 800 contribution points, it wasn't entirely unattainable.

But the next two rewards, the [Space Storage Capsule] and the [No.1 Seed Medal], were precious treasures far beyond the reach of these rookies.

Although the Space Storage Capsule awarded to Fang Zhou wouldn't be very large, it was an essential treasure for both peacetime travel and wartime marches—a must-have for murder and mayhem.

As for the [No.1 Seed Medal], it was itself a piece of Green Excellent-grade Marvel-class Equipment. It could provide the wearer with certain attribute enhancements, and it also had an active Skill, similar to the Heroic Spirit Battle Banner, that boosted the morale of nearby allies. Furthermore, after being enchanted by a Professional with the [Alchemist] class, if the Alchemist's skill was superb, the added Enchantment could even elevate the [No.1 Seed Medal] to a Blue Fine-grade Marvel.

Not to mention, the medal itself held a powerful symbolic meaning. Its owner was not only the strongest among the military academy cadets but also held emergency command authority over their peers. In other words, within the operational hierarchy of Sea City Military Academy, if a wartime emergency arose, Fang Zhou, as the No.1 Seed, would automatically have command over any nearby cadets by virtue of this medal.

Although such an extreme emergency was unlikely to occur at the Sea City Military Academy, this privilege alone was enough to demonstrate the medal's immense significance.

While the other cadets on the training grounds buzzed with discussion, their eyes filled with envy, Fang Zhou felt a dazed sensation mixed with his delight.

No.1 Seed, E-grade authority… I finally have it!

He remembered the day after his Awakening as an [Undead Mage]. He had been looked down upon by everyone, but thanks to Instructor Lu Hu's meddling, he became tablemates with the two prodigies: [Chanting String] Bai Xiaochan and [Demon Hunter] Ye Fan. It was during a meal in the cafeteria that Fang Zhou first heard from Bai Xiaochan and Ye Fan about the selection process and special privileges for Seed Students. From that moment on, he had set becoming a Seed Student as a short-term goal.

Now that I've obtained the position of No.1 Seed as I wished, what's my next target?

The pleasant notification from his attribute panel pulled Fang Zhou's wandering mind back to the present.

"Title acquired: [Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed].

[Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed]: After layers of selection, you have been confirmed as the Number One Seed of Sea City Military Academy. As is expected by all, while within the academy, you will receive a slight, across-the-board increase to all attributes, including your Four-dimensional Attributes, Spiritual Power limit, and Soul Recovery Speed. Your initial Favorability with all Human Alliance Influences is greatly increased. Your initial Favorability with Abyssal Demons is greatly decreased."

Another title?!

A flicker of joy appeared in Fang Zhou's heart as he looked at the title section of his attribute panel. Sure enough, next to the dim [Enemy of Kobolds] title, a much brighter [Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed] title was shining brilliantly.

After briefly reviewing the title's description, Fang Zhou quickly understood. The title had three effects.

The first effect was a slight, across-the-board enhancement to all his Attributes while within Sea City Military Academy. This included not just visible Attributes like Strength, Constitution, Agility, and Spirit, but also hidden ones like Spiritual Power recovery speed and Soul Recovery Speed. This meant that within the confines of the academy and with the blessing of the [No.1 Seed] title, Fang Zhou's Cultivation speed and Combat Ability would both see a precious improvement.

The second effect was a significant increase in Favorability with all Human Alliance Influences. Sea City Military Academy was, after all, just his starting point—a large-scale newbie village. After graduation, he was destined to join the army. And no matter the country, every army was a die-hard Human Alliance Influence. With the title of [Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed], Fang Zhou's starting point in the military would naturally be much higher than others.

The third effect was a bonus, of sorts—a negative one.

Initial Favorability with Abyssal Demons is greatly lowered?

Humans and Demons were already mortal enemies, locked in a battle to the death. The Abyssal Demons would never pass up an opportunity to assassinate a human genius. Even without the negative impact of the new title, the Demons wouldn't be greeting Fang Zhou with smiles.

After activating this new title, Fang Zhou felt the gazes of the spectators in the stands change subtly—or perhaps it was just his imagination. Before, their gazes had been filled with pure envy, with only occasional flashes of admiration, excitement, or enthusiasm. But now, under the influence of some nameless effect, the cadets' envy slowly transformed into reverence, trust, and even worship.

At this moment, a few minutes after announcing the rewards, Lu Hu heard the discussions among the cadets growing increasingly fervent and couldn't resist letting out a heavy cough.

"Quiet!

"I will continue to announce the rewards for the other cadets.

"No. 2 Seed Meng Hongzhuang, Apprentice Lower-rank, Natural Summoner, Junior Sergeant, F-grade authority. Promoted to E-grade authority, able to enjoy an 800-contribution-point interest-free loan and a 35% discount on all purchases during her time at the academy. In addition, she is awarded..."

In Lu Hu's resonant voice, the rewards for all one hundred Seed Students were announced, one by one. Bai Xiaochan and the other nine Support Professionals who had been selected as Seed Students were not forgotten, and each received their own set of rewards.

From the corner of his eye, Fang Zhou was gratified to see Meng Hongzhuang and Bai Xiaochan engaged in a fierce, silent battle of glares—a scene brimming with vibrant life and fierce competition.

It was now noon. Lu Hu looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and said, "I must remind you all of one more thing. The Seed rankings established today are merely a reflection of your initial strength. Sea City Military Academy is not a stagnant pond, and we don't want you Seed Students to become one either. To maintain your current rankings, you must not only continuously improve your strength but also obey the academy's administration and command, gaining merits through various means."
