Chapter 172: Chapter 67: The Hidden Dangers of the Star Alliance

"Why?"

Zhang Xiaoman paused for a moment and then said without hesitation, "I certainly know this, Mr. Ye gave me these so that I could successfully join the Star Alliance."

"Hmm."

His mother first nodded calmly and then posed another question.

"And after joining the Star Alliance, you will still need the Dragon Sleep Stone and the herbs, won’t you? Then why would they give it to you at that time?"

"Uh... Mr. Ye said today that he wanted to make contributions to the Star Alliance..."

Zhang Xiaoman started to explain but couldn’t continue.

His lips moved slightly as he began to recall the events of the day. The whole process seemed flawless, but under his mother’s questioning, he felt something was off, yet couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

"According to you, the Dragon Sleep Stone should be a very precious and rare material. So why would the Ye Family keep supplying you with these stones? Even for the sake of the Star Alliance, how long can you guarantee their enthusiasm will last?"

Zhang Xiaoman opened his mouth but said nothing.

His mother continued, "And look at the others, what do they have to give up to join the Star Alliance? Does the Ye Family give up as much as they do? If you need the Ye Family to continuously supply you with Dragon Sleep Stone and herbs in the future, what do others need to provide? If they do not provide anything and still reap benefits, how would the people of the Ye Family feel?"

"It’s a simple balance, the very foundation of an organization. The biggest hidden danger of the Star Alliance now lies here. If a person can achieve the same results as others who work hard without contributing, then who would bother to make an effort?"

As Zhang Xiaoman listened, his eyes gradually lit up, for he now understood what had initially felt wrong to him.

"So you mean I need to establish a system of rewards and penalties? For members who contribute, there must be appropriate rewards to ensure their enthusiasm and dedication," he said.

"Correct, although the Star Alliance is an Extraordinary Organization, its members are still humans, with inherent emotions and desires that cannot be altered by a few impassioned words. Once the initial enthusiasm fades, you need a new way to motivate them," his mother responded.

Seeing her son understand, his mother said with satisfaction,

"I won’t go into specific plans right now, that you need to evaluate yourself based on the realities of the Star Alliance. After all, it is an Extraordinary Force, and many standard business strategies may not be suitable here."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully, his mind vivid with ideas, but not yet fully formed. He needed some time to thoroughly think through the issue.

"By the way, there’s another thing I want to remind you of. Although the Star Alliance specializes in combating Alien Monsters, many needs are still tied to normal human society, so I suggest you consider the funding issue carefully," she added.

"I understand," he replied.

After responding, Zhang Xiaoman slowly walked to his bedroom, his mind filled with the points his mother had just made.

Indeed, establishing an organization was far more complex than he had imagined.

Initially, he hadn’t planned to establish an organization—his intention was merely to recruit a couple of people to help him fight monsters and Upgrade.

But as various events unfolded, Zhang Xiaoman’s perspective began to change, until finally the System issued a Sect Establishment Order to him, bolstering his resolve to launch the Star Alliance.

He then slowly realized just how large the scale of the organization he had been sketching out in his mind was.

Fortunately, having his mother, a proficient doctor, at home, he was able to identify many problems and potential issues.

As for the subsequent steps, those he would have to figure out by himself, since no one else in the world had ever established a real Extraordinary Organization, had they?

In his bedroom, Zhang Xiaoman picked up his notebook and the Starry Stone, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the Anti-gravity Car nearby.

In fact, he had already considered funding issues; whether starting a company or secretly investing in other businesses to receive dividends, everything hinged on whether he had the capital or the technology.

However, at present, Zhang Xiaoman did not have extensive capital. Although 5 million might be enough for an ordinary family, it was a drop in the bucket for the future behemoth that was the Star Alliance.

So now, the fastest route was technology.

In terms of technology, Zhang Xiaoman reasoned that his highest bet was obviously on the Anti-gravity Car.

Whether it was the graviton engine or other modules on the car, even the electronic-key-like bracelet he wore, the technology they embodied was unmatched by anything else in today’s world.

He just needed to bring out any one of these, and he could become rich overnight.

Of course, these were all theoretical.

Setting aside by what means and how he could present these advanced technologies to the world openly, just the technology involved, Zhang Xiaoman felt even if he did bring it out, whether anyone could understand it was another matter.

Just like the anti-gravity engine, it was nothing more than a fantasy from a science fiction novel until someone saw the real thing, wasn’t it?

And if it were actually given to someone to study, it would probably confuse them as much as primitive people seeing an airplane.

Moreover, the Anti-gravity Car required too many points, and Zhang Xiaoman was not yet able to afford a second one, hence this wonderful plan of dismantling the car had been shelved.

Shaking his head somewhat helplessly, Zhang Xiaoman withdrew his gaze from the car. Funding was indeed a critical issue, but at the moment he had no clues, and there was a more urgent matter at hand.

Guiding Dark Energy into the engraved pattern on the Starry Stone, Zhang Xiaoman began the preparations for Teleportation.

This method of channeling Dark Energy was a natural ability he acquired after becoming an Awakener, not requiring him to alter any sequences of Active Dark Energy Particles like when casting a Skill; he simply had to channel the normal state of Inert Dark Energy into it.

As the engravings on the Starry Stone were completed, Zhang Xiaoman immediately disappeared from the room.

"The cooling time of the Starry Stone is 1 hour, allowing me to recover 100% of my Dark Energy, which means I can refill my energy every hour. This efficiency is a bit low..."

Zhang Xiaoman remarked as he checked the time.

"It’s just before 8 PM now. I should be able to attempt this many more times today... However, such a complex Magic Technique, I wonder how long it will take for me to truly master it..."
