Chapter 539: 'Black Night Flower' Cluster

In the club activity room, Tilan sat on a retro high-backed black wooden chair, with two club secretaries in black uniforms beside her.

"This is the current list of members and their respective information. It will be automatically updated every time someone completes a task or advances." One of them placed the record board in front of the girl.

"The club is currently in its infancy, with a total of 79 members, including 25 from our school and 54 from other schools. 6 are at Sequence 61 and 5 are at Sequence 18. Most of the occupations are in combat and historical research, with a relatively small number in economics. The club's initial funding is 24 billion federal coins, of which the school sponsors 5 million, the Golden Flame Flower Cathedral sponsors 5 million, the Central Council allocates 3 million, various giant companies including the Southern October Star sponsor a total of 7 million, Gray Dust Crystal sponsors 3 million, and the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region Government sponsors 1 million."

"Funds are extremely abundant at the moment. If there is a shortage in the future, we can easily obtain them by seeking help from relevant companies. According to past experience, if we want to get a higher evaluation, it depends on how to operate the funds and maximize their effectiveness." The bespectacled young man analyzed calmly and objectively.

"For various organizations, if a singer can grow rapidly during her time at school and demonstrate good leadership skills, leading the club to achieve various results, this shows that the singer has great potential and is worth continuing to invest various resources in and gradually building a closer relationship with."

"On the contrary, if a singer has a good image but poor decision-making and control abilities, she will be evaluated lower by various forces, which will greatly reduce their desire to invest and sponsor her. They may even quietly cut ties and stay away from her, because there are not a few giant companies that have been implicated by singers in history."

What many people don’t know is that during the civil war, the conservative forces that Amy Larin faced also had many singers supporting them, and they also had many loyal fans, but this period of history was not very glorious, and later the Federation slowly concealed it.

There are differences between singers. Some are figures who can influence the country, while others are just vases held by others and mascots to maintain a stable surface. After all, people are not fools and will not really entrust their wealth and future to a guy who is just good-looking, sought after by thousands of people, but has no brains.

After listening to his summary report, Tilan nodded slightly, thinking back to the first group of members she recruited.

It was normal that there were more combat members. After all, the Four-leaf Crystal Star Region was a place with a strong military-industrial atmosphere, and the overall social atmosphere was to worship combat power. Even the aristocratic School of the Colony of Bees had a complete system for training extraordinary people.

Tilan once thought that this was natural. After all, the essence of extraordinary people is to allow individuals to constantly break through their own limitations, gain more powerful power, and the more freedom and choices that come with it.

But now, after gaining knowledge and understanding from various channels, Tilan discovered that the reality was not like this.

Although strength is an instinctive worship of creatures such as humans, there are also many star fields that focus on economy. The top students there often go into the fields of finance, law, etc. There are also some star fields with developed arts and literature. The atmosphere there is to become a big star, enjoy the pursuit of thousands of people, and make a lot of money. This is the best. The star fields here often have developed film and television industries. With less than 10% of the population, they contribute nearly 90% of the film and television and art products in the federation.

In addition to the three major categories of combat, economy, and literature and art, a small number of star fields focus on archaeology, agriculture, cultivation, tourism, and scientific research. The talented students in these star fields often enter related fields.

Imagine that you were born on an inhabited planet full of ruins. In the Fourth Era, this place was extremely prosperous. Both your elders and the educational books you received described to you the glory of this place in ancient times. Every year, archaeological excavation teams from all over the Federation come here to explore, and various discoveries are often reported.

In this kind of environment, it is easy for people to embark on the path of historical research or treasure hunting, because the people around them live this way and make money from it. For them, making money through acting or singing seems to be a very distant and unfamiliar thing. Even if they do it, they will not be understood by the people around them, and the psychological and social costs are very high.

Because of the atmosphere in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain, most of Tilan's high school classmates are majoring in combat-related fields, and only a few people have jumped out of this circle, such as Metty, Ge Yin, etc.

Fortunately, the Golden Flame Flower Academy, as the number one school in the federation, has many talented people in all walks of life. The members she recruited from the school made up for some of the shortcomings. The secretary of the club next to her is a genius in economics and management from the school.

"Do you have any recommendations for talents in the economic field?" Tilan thought that without good logistics and operations, no matter how good a fighter is, it would be difficult to maintain it for a long time.

"There are many candidates in the relevant majors in our school, but considering that other singers are also being recruited, there are not many options left." One of them responded.

"In addition to our school, there are many other schools in Academy City that are famous for their economic management majors, such as the 5th ranked 'Quinay School' in the Federation and the 11th ranked 'Clock and Watch School'. Many of their graduates have become senior executives of giant companies and senior officials of the Federation."

"If President Tilan can recruit members from these institutions, it should be able to greatly expand the number of talents in related fields in the society."

'Clock and Watch Academy', when Tilan heard this name, she felt it sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. After careful recollection, she quickly remembered that the 'Mammon', or Miss Grey Crow, whom she had known before, was from this top academy.

"Are you asking about the 'Clock and Watch Academy'? This is an academy that specializes in training professional managers. Their students are required to develop comprehensively to meet the various needs of their employers, from big things like company listings and mergers and acquisitions to small things like helping employers deal with family conflicts, child support, and other issues. They can be said to be all-round stewards and fully-delivered managers for major wealthy families." This is the young man's comment.

"Unlike other institutions, they require that students who enter the school must be energetic and highly motivated, so that they can adapt to the school's education and management style."

“It sounds impressive, but judging from your tone, it seems like you’re looking at a pervert.” Tilan said with interest.

"Well, that's true, because I also participated in the admission examination of the 'Clock and Watch Academy' at that time, and was shocked by some of the things they showed." The young man pressed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"As for personnel, I will find a way to fill them out later. Let me tell you about the recent arrangements." Tilan looked at the schedule on the recording board.

"The club has just been established, and the members are still relatively unfamiliar with each other. Let's first arrange for everyone to do some tasks together to get familiar with each other. Perhaps during the tasks, we can slowly find teammates that we are comfortable working with."

"Also, can you tell me about the other Diva Star Clusters?"

"No problem. This is the information I have compiled in advance. Please take a look, President Tilan." As expected of an elite figure in our school, he had made relevant preparations very early on.

On the screen, the star cluster information and main personnel backgrounds of the other singers were presented one by one. 'Light Purple Foam Dot' Elklu led the star cluster 'Thousand Beasts Thousand Tails', 97% of whose members were orcs of various races. The core members were the heirs of various large companies from the northern orc-rich star field, rookies of extraordinary factions, and extremely talented orc geniuses. Through these core members, Elklu could reach 80% of orc-related companies and forces. Although she was not well-known in the mainstream media, she was unique in the northern star field with a large number of orcs, and many orcs regarded her as an idol.

'The Flower of Claustrophobia' Jian Xiner leads a star cluster called 'The Vessel of the Deep'. It has a relatively small number of members, most of whom are talents in the fields of historical research, archaeological excavation, and ghost illusions. Most of the core members come from extraordinary factions with a long history, geniuses who like to study ancient mystics, etc. They behave differently from ordinary people, have many strange mystics and methods, and are not very popular in the mainstream media, but those who really like them are also very fanatical.

'Red Ray' Luo Fenghua leads a star cluster called 'Bath in Flames Phoenix', 98% of whose members have oriental faces and come from various traditional Pan-Oriental forces. The core personnel are also newcomers from various Eastern supernatural factions, heirs of related large enterprises, or extremely outstanding talents. Although her identity label is very obvious, she does not have a strong influence and control over the Eastern forces like Elklu, which is probably because the Pan-Oriental forces are now scattered and do not have a strong desire to unite.

'White Swan' Feng Jianshang (stage name: Audney) leads the star cluster 'Snow Feather', about 52% of its members have oriental faces, mainly from the star field where she was born and the related giant companies she supports. Although the label tends to be a pan-oriental force, it is not obvious. Her personality and ambitions are more inclined towards the literary and artistic direction, and most of the club members are in related fields, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

'Flame Candy' Pulin (stage name: Pulin Coco), leads the star cluster called 'Red Flame'. Most of its members are in the combat field, but there are also many talents in finance and economics. Even many of their club's achievements are mainly in economic operations. Some of its core members are heirs of large financial investment institutions, and some are geniuses from extraordinary factions. If there is any connection, most of these companies and personnel come from the 'Queen Bee Business Alliance'.

"Can you introduce this business alliance?" Tilan looked up.

"No problem. The Queen Bee Business Alliance has a long history. Before the Federation was established, it was a famous chamber of commerce in the Twin Trees. As Her Highness Isanissa brought the dawn of a new era to the Milky Way, they also gradually expanded."

"If the most traditional, conservative, and long-standing forces in the Federation are the aristocratic families of the elves, then the next most traditional forces are the human chaebols headed by the Queen Bee Business Alliance. Because the elves have a slow reproduction rate and their population is always very low, they often stick together. On the human chaebols, due to their lifespan, they have a faster iteration rate and a large population, so they are also divided into more than a dozen large chaebols."

"Many of them, like Isenissa, came from the Twin Trees Star Region. With the establishment of the Federation, their power expanded, and they later experienced various disintegrations and reorganizations. Now, there are roughly nine large chaebol groups with names and surnames left. Among them, the Queen Bee Business Alliance is the strongest. If the strength of all the elven families is added together to make 100 points, then the Queen Bee Business Alliance can probably get 60 points."

"It doesn't sound that high." Tilan was curious.

"Although it's not high, there are still eight similar chaebol groups. If they are added together, they are much better than the elf families. However, each chaebol has its own interests and competition. Unless forced by the situation, it is difficult for them to get together. In this respect, they are not as united as the elves."

"Are all the upper echelons of the Federation controlled by them?"

"No, the upper echelons of the Federation are very complicated. Although I know part of it because of my family background, it is far from clear. I can only tell President Tilan the approximate distribution."

"The current members of the Federation Central Council can probably be seen as the embodiment of power. Although the elven families and the chaebol groups are powerful, the number of people supporting them is far from enough to make the final decision, because there are also giant companies distributed throughout the star field. These companies often possess unique technologies and are an important tax base for the Federation. They are the largest forces in the Federation."

"However, the giant companies also have their own ideas. They just use the same name, but in fact they are very different from each other. Many of them also have regional attributes, so they cannot be regarded as the same."

After listening, Tilan thought for a while.

"So, the largest force in the central star field is the alliance of the elves and the nine financial groups on the human side, right? And the other star fields are mainly composed of local forces and giant companies."

"Is such that."

"It's a little clearer now. It seems that the control of the central star field is still very strong."

Tilan recalled the famous schools she attended during high school. The most powerful ones were Saint Ingo, Territory of the Peaks, and Edes Academy, which was spun off from Saint Ingo. They were all investments from the central star field forces. Students who graduated from these schools could easily get close to them, and after graduation would naturally enter related companies or organizations to work.

This means that through this method, they harvested the top talents from various star fields within the Federation, gathered them under their command, and constantly enriched themselves to remain strong.

If it weren't for Edes's "rebellion" and the severance of ties with Saint Ingo of the Central Star Region, she would probably have received a lot of favors and care from Saint Ingo, and it would have been easy for her to join their related camp.

What a clever and unpretentious conspiracy! If we reverse the situation, the six famous schools in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain can get a rough idea of ​​the distribution of various forces in the Federation today.

Saint Ingo and Edes were originally one and the same, both being tentacles of the elven families. The Peaks Academy was invested by the human chaebols in the central star field, the Crystal Lattice Academy was established by the scientific research and academic faction headed by the Son of the Stars, needless to say, the Thunderbolt Academy was a product of the military-industrial group, and the Leisha Academy was jointly founded by religious forces.

These forces are not limited to the Four-Leaf Crystal, but are often huge behemoths spanning dozens of star fields or the entire federation. These prestigious high schools that are out of reach for ordinary people are nothing more than the tentacles of these large forces throughout the federation.

But as long as you are the most talented and outstanding among your peers, it will be easy for you to touch them in high school and be absorbed by them.

It is no wonder that these large forces have stood firm for hundreds of years. With such a talent delivery mechanism, it is extremely difficult for other emerging forces to compete and replace them. Even if you have a brilliant idea, if there is no one to implement and complete it, it is nothing but empty talk.

"I generally understand."

After sorting out the current situation, Tilan nodded, and then the secretary of the club placed the prepared document in front of her and asked her to sign. This was the first announcement of the club and also marked the establishment of her star cluster.

Black and blue petals are outlined on the front page of the paper, and below is the official name of the society - "Qi Ye Hua".
