Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Chapter 16: Chapter 14: Distribution of Power, Student Council and Clubs

The young man in sunglasses said, "Boss, are you asking about the current power structure at the school?"

"You could say that." Chen Chong nodded.

He knew the school had a long-standing tradition of creating all sorts of clubs.

For many students, it was their only source of fun. After all, developing your interests in a club was more entertaining than just studying, right?

After the school was transported, many students who didn’t know each other were just a scattered mess.

But the members of these clubs already knew each other well. They were bound to stick together, act as a group, and eventually start seizing territory and so on.

It was a common plot point in most apocalypse novels, but it was also very realistic.

Although Chen Chong had no interest in joining a club, he felt it was necessary to understand the situation for his future plans.

The young man in sunglasses thought for a moment before finally saying, "Well, it’s complicated."

"How so?" Chen Chong was puzzled. ’It’s only the second day and things are already complicated? That can’t be right.’

"Boss, you probably know that besides the Student Council, our school has a lot of clubs. Most of them are pretty small, like the Building Block Club, the Math Club, the Novel Club, and so on. But there are a few with huge memberships and a lot of influence."

"I know." Chen Chong nodded. He could name several off the top of his head, and that was without even trying to learn about them.

The young man in sunglasses continued.

"Since we were transported, these clubs have started banding together. We can ignore the less influential ones, but there are four clubs that are making the biggest waves!"

"They are the Swordsmanship Club, the Fighting Club, the Fitness Club, and the Fishing Club. These four have a lot of members, and they’re very tight-knit. They managed to find food on the very first day, and on the second day, people even saw them bring back a big haul!"

"The Fishing Club is the most ridiculous of them all. I heard a lot of people are already going to them and asking if they can join..."

"The Fishing Club?"

Chen Chong was a bit dumbfounded. He knew about the Swordsmanship Club, the Fighting Club, and even the Fitness Club. They were some of the biggest clubs even before the transport.

And you could tell from their hobbies that they were a capable bunch. It wasn’t surprising they could find food.

But the Fishing Club... ’Don’t tell me they’re actually fishing?’

’But isn’t there that monstrous catfish in the river?’

’They still dare to go near the riverbank?’

Perhaps sensing Chen Chong’s confusion, the young man in sunglasses showed a hint of amusement.

"It’s actually kind of funny. I know you’re wondering about the monster in the river, Boss. Everyone’s afraid to go near it, so how could they? But you don’t know these fishing fanatics. Their urge to fish is stronger than anything!"

"If you tell them there are fish to be caught, they won’t even pull up their rods if you hold a knife to their throats. A classmate told me he kindly warned them about the monster in the river. But who would’ve thought? When they heard the monster was a ten-meter-long, man-eating fish, they just got more excited and started clamoring about how they were going to reel it in."

"In the end, they didn’t catch it after a whole day, and they came back all long-faced..."

Chen Chong and Xu Jun were speechless.

’A man-eating monster that everyone else avoids like the plague, and the Fishing Club is actually trying to figure out how to catch it.’

’It’s true what they say. When it comes to fish, those fishing fanatics are like they’re possessed...’

However, Chen Chong also gleaned a piece of information from this.

It seemed the man-eating Giant Catfish in the river couldn’t attack people on the bank.

And aside from the catfish, there didn’t seem to be any other dangers.

As long as you didn’t swim into the deep parts of the river, you would be fine.

This would make it much more convenient to get water and catch fish in the future. They wouldn’t have to focus solely on the jungle anymore.

"There are a ton of fish in that river. The Fishing Club caught a lot, and many people saw them when they came back. But only they have fishing rods, so everyone else can only watch."

"Oh, right, something funny happened earlier. One club got jealous of the Fishing Club, so they teamed up with a few other clubs—a hundred people in total. They went over intending to use their numbers to intimidate them and snatch some fishing rods. Guess what happened?"

"Even though they had fifty percent more people, the Fishing Club beat them so badly they fled in disarray. Now, no one dares to mess with the Fishing Club’s rods..."

Chen Chong smiled. ’What’s the most important thing to a fishing fanatic?’

’It’s not the fish, it’s the rod!’

’Trying to steal their rods is like trying to take their lives. Of course they’d fight to the death.’

"Besides the clubs I just mentioned, the most powerful faction in our school is the Student Council."

"The entire Student Council has over a hundred members. On the first day of the transport, they seized control of the cafeteria and the store. Although other students managed to grab some supplies, the majority of it ended up in their hands."

"You could say the Student Council is the group with the most resources right now. Not only that, but they’re also constantly recruiting students from outside their circle, steadily expanding their ranks..."

...

「The sky had completely darkened.」

Chen Chong, Xu Jun, and Wang Biao returned to their dorm room.

At this moment, Chen Chong was still thinking about what he had learned.

The two small bread rolls hadn’t been wasted.

From the young man in sunglasses, he had learned about the Student Council’s actions.

He had to admit, the people in the Student Council reacted quickly.

They had controlled the two most resource-rich locations on the very first day, pocketing the majority of the supplies.

’Snatching supplies, recruiting members... with ambition like that, they’re almost certainly planning to take over the entire school and become the dominant power.’

’But it won’t be that easy...’

After all, the Student Council’s actions had offended many people, and a lot of students had no desire to join such a rule-heavy group.

This was especially true for a few of the major clubs.

According to the youth in sunglasses, while the major clubs each operated independently and didn’t interact much, none of them were on good terms with the Student Council.

The Swordsmanship Club and the Fighting Club, in particular, had already clashed with the Student Council three times in just two days.

Fortunately, both sides were sensible enough not to let it escalate into a full-blown fight. On the second day, the main objective was still to secure food and scout the surroundings.

The Fitness Club and the Fishing Club also showed no intention of joining the Student Council.

As things stood now, apart from the majority of unaffiliated students, the student body was divided into several power blocs.

The Student Council occupied several of the academic buildings.

The Fighting Club held the gymnasium.

The Swordsmanship Club didn’t seem very ambitious; other than their own club room, they hadn’t made any moves to seize territory.

The remaining locations, like the cafeteria, library, and art building, were either carved up by countless smaller clubs or remained unclaimed.

’But later...’

’Disputes are bound to arise again.’

Chen Chong didn’t dwell on it. It wasn’t his business anyway, since he wasn’t part of any club.

’But the Student Council... I did beat up Du Ming.’

’If the Student Council decides to come after me, I’ll need to be prepared.’

There was another interesting piece of news.

When he returned to the dormitory, Chen Chong heard from some other students that the Overlord Wolves had appeared again at the back gate that afternoon.

The pack of wolves had ambushed a group of students, killing five and injuring seven.

Luckily, there were a lot of students near the back gate at the time. When they heard the commotion, they all rushed out. Using whatever weapons they had—throwing rocks, jabbing with sticks—they managed to drive the wolves back.

Otherwise, the casualties would have been even higher.

Hearing this, Chen Chong’s heart skipped a beat. ’It seems the third piece of intel was right.’

’The Overlord Wolves really did show up in the afternoon, and they killed so many people.’

’It’s a good thing I listened to the intel and stayed away from the back gate. Otherwise, Xu Jun and I could easily have been caught up in it.’

’But according to the intel, they took a beating this time, so they probably won’t be back for a while.’

’The back gate should be safe for now...’

After washing their faces and feet with a bar of soap, the three of them got into their beds to sleep.

Since there were two empty bunks, complete with reasonably clean blankets and pillows, Wang Biao had a place to sleep. He took the bunk below Chen Chong.

Exhausted from the long day, the three of them soon fell into a deep sleep.

「Time ticked by, and soon, it was 12:00 AM.」

The voice for the daily settlement sounded once again...
