The sudden system announcement startled Han Xing awake.
He noticed a new status effect, *Heroic Battle*, added to his status bar, and a smile crept across his face.
"Impressive! Looks like everyone in Area 107 are true grinders, staying up all night to grind. Truly amazing!" Han Xing genuinely praised.
What he didn't know was that his own actions had contributed to Area 107 achieving the first-place ranking across all regions.
While humanity was facing extreme water shortages, Han Xing had killed a squad of dark elves and cleverly outmaneuvered a powerful demon, ultimately securing a large water source.
Although he only traded away a few hundred liters of water, when shared among a few thousand people, it wasn't much.
But even that small amount of water revitalized them, restoring their combat capabilities.
Having been through such a crisis, they realized how important it was to explore the floating island while they were in good condition and gather more resources.
This was one of the key reasons why Area 107 managed to stay ahead of other regions.
Han Xing quickly opened the region's territory ranking.
He saw that, at the moment, he was ranked first.
First place: Galaxy (Han Xing) - Territory Points: 66
Second place: Black Eagle - Territory Points: 42
Third place: Whisperer - Territory Points: 35
Fourth place: Papaya Star Spirit - Territory Points: 32
...
Among the top 100, Han Xing was far ahead with his points, though the other survivors weren't doing too badly either.
Anyone who made it into the rankings had at least broken into double digits in territory points, meaning they had each gone through at least one or multiple battles and were gradually adapting to the pace of this world.
"Rankings? What are the rewards?"
As Han Xing looked at the leaderboard, a system prompt appeared once again.
[Territory Ranking Rewards have been updated.]
- Ranks 51-100: Food x10 units, Freshwater x5 units, Spirit Cores x100, Random Class Advancement Scroll x1.
- Ranks 21-50: Food x20 units, Freshwater x10 units, Spirit Cores x200, Choose Green Weapon x1, Random Class Advancement Scroll x1.

- Second Place Reward: Food x200 units, Freshwater x50 units, Spirit Cores x1000, Choose Blueprint for Blue Weapon x1, Silver Chest x1, Choose Class Advancement Scroll x1.
Seeing these rewards, Han Xing was shocked.
"Silver chests and blue-grade gear are already available, and there's even a Class Advancement Scroll. These rewards will definitely drive people crazy!"
However, when he saw the reward for first place, his eyes widened instantly.
- First Place Reward: Food x500 units, Freshwater x200 units, Spirit Cores x1000, Choose Blueprint for Purple Weapon x1, Silver Chest x1, Hidden Class Scroll x1.
Han Xing immediately ignored all the other rewards, focusing entirely on the last item.
A Hidden Class Scroll!
When choosing his class, Han Xing had already decided that he wanted to switch to the hidden class for hunters.
**Wild Ranger.**
However, he hadn't found any clues regarding how to trigger this hidden class yet.
According to Han Xing's estimate, he would need to reach level 8 or 9 before he had the strength to take on the Wild Ranger class change quest.
But now, there was an opportunity right in front of him.
If he could secure the top spot in the rankings, he wouldn't need to go through the trouble of finding the Wild Ranger quest; once he reached level 10, he could directly advance into this powerful hidden class!
In *Floating Island Paradise*, no one knew exactly how many hidden classes there were.
But since they were hidden, they were bound to be extraordinary compared to other classes. Even if not absolutely stronger, they certainly had their unique strengths.
At that moment, Han Xing firmly resolved to claim the first-place spot!
As soon as the ranking rewards were announced, not only did Han Xing see the reward details, but other survivors also noticed the astonishing first-place reward and became envious.
The chat channel was flooded with messages.
"So many rewards! Even the food and water are being given in large quantities. Anyone in the top 100 won't have to worry about survival anymore!"
"Exactly, and the most important thing is the Class Advancement Scroll!"
"I've seen the game interface mention it before. After reaching level 10, you'll need these Class Advancement Scrolls to progress to an advanced class, at which point your power will undergo a massive transformation. Not only will your stats significantly improve, but you'll also be able to learn higher-level skills!"
"At that point, fighting level 10 and below creatures will be like a parent beating their child!"
Hearing about the class advancements, many survivors' eyes filled with anticipation.
"Wow, the top 10 even get blue-grade weapons, and the top 3 get silver chests! That's incredibly tempting!"
"Yeah, I'd be happy just to place in the top three…"
While the survivors of Area 107 were discussing the top 10 rewards, strangely, not many people were talking about the first-place prize.
Finally, someone asked, "Why isn't anyone talking about the first-place reward? That's a hidden class! And a purple-grade weapon that no one has even seen yet!"
"Don't even think about it. Haven't you noticed who's in first place right now? That's our area's savior, the almighty Galaxy!"
Cyclone Potato: "That's my dad! Don't even think about taking first place from him!"
...
Meanwhile, in Area 107, several established groups held urgent discussions.
**Whisper of the Gods Group Chat.**
"I'm sure everyone has seen the rewards by now. As long as a few of us make it into the top 100, our survival problems will be pretty much solved," said the Whisperer, ranked third on the leaderboard. He was a mage.
He continued, "So, those of you who still have the strength, make sure to explore the clouds around your territory and expand your land."
"As for me, I'll push hard to stay in third place, but first place is also my goal. I hope to receive your support..."
The other members responded, "Boss, just tell us what you need. We'll all back you up."
"Yeah, we've got your back, Whisperer!"
...
**Airplane Squad Group Chat.**
"Stay sharp, everyone. We've already got three people on the top 100 leaderboard. Let's get a few more in there!"
"We need to make sure Papaya Star Spirit stays in the top 10."
"Top 10 for sure, but we're aiming for top 3, even number 1! Papaya Star Spirit, we're behind you!"
...
