In Azure Fishing Village, time continued to pass. Li Yunmu's group of three had already stayed in the small fishing village for more than a month.
If they wanted to step onto Azure Moon Island, they had to obtain a flux expert tile. This was similar to the fluxers of the six continents on Earth. It was a qualification to certify their occupation.
Only after becoming a flux expert would they have the opportunity to step onto the main island. Otherwise, in the hierarchy of humans in the Origin World, ordinary people didn't have the qualifications to enter the headquarters of any power.
Li Yunmu's group of three waited silently. They could only wait patiently because there was still more than a month before Island Hall's annual examination would begin. Thus, even if they were impatient, before they obtained the qualifications to become flux experts, they could only wait helplessly.
In fact, there wasn't only one fishing village on Azure Dragon Island. There were four fishing villages in total, and they were called East Fishing Village, South Fishing Village, West Fishing Village, and North Fishing Village.
It wasn't an official name, but it was named according to the geographical location of the four fishing villages on Azure Dragon Island. Now that they had settled in this fishing village, it was located on the north side of Azure Dragon Island, so it was naturally named North Fishing Village.
Among the four fishing villages on the island, it had the highest overall strength.
Apart from this, there was also a small town at the center of the island. It was called Azure Dragon Town, and it was the only small town. According to the narration of the fishermen, the majority of the people living in the town were of a higher status than the fishermen, who were at the lowest level.
Those who had the qualifications to move to Azure Dragon Town were the rich fishermen of the four fishing villages. They had once earned a large amount of wealth, which was why they had the qualifications to move to the center of the island.
The other group of people living in the town were the immigrants. Only those who had a certain amount of wealth were allowed to immigrate.
It could be said that the standard of living of the residents of Azure Dragon Town was much higher than that of the fishermen of the four fishing villages. The majority of them were even the landlords of the island.
Many of the fertile lands on Azure Dragon Island had fallen into the hands of the landlords. They planted many grains, fruits, and vegetables, which could be sold at a very high price.
If the fishermen wanted to eat a meal of fruits and vegetables, they would often have to exchange a large amount of seafood. There was no other way, as the rarity was the most expensive. In the North Sea, there was no shortage of seafood.
The small town was the only place on Azure Dragon Island where flux experts roamed. The place with the most flux experts was the island hall. In the eyes of the fishermen, the island hall was an incomparably fascinating place to cultivate. In the words of Earth, it was the only martial arts hall in the area.
There were flux experts stationed in the dojo who acted as instructors. As long as one had enough money or potential, they could pay the fee to enter the dojo and learn some body skills or even killing techniques.
That's right, Li Yunmu hadn't misheard. The only martial hall on the island wasn't actually a cultivation area for flux experts, but a place for the natives to cultivate or learn body skills.
The crude battle skills cultivated by ordinary people were called body skills by the natives of the Origin World.
Those with inferior aptitude who learned body skills could return to the fishing village and become glorious guards. Their social status was much higher than that of the lowest ranked fishermen. They could also stay in the town and become the guards of landlords or large families. Although their status wasn't as high as that of guards, they could earn money and live comfortably.
In short, after more than ten days of investigation, Li Yunmu and the others gained a general understanding of the status of the ordinary people of the Origin World.
They weren't much better off than the people of the slums on Earth. On the contrary, the social status of the common people of Earth was probably much better than that of the lowest ranked fishermen.
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
The Origin World was quite serious and had even evolved to the extreme. It was divided into several levels.
The lowest level was the common people, who weren't divided into the poor people of Earth. Because the Origin World was vast and had inexhaustible resources, as long as they put in a little bit of effort, there wouldn't be any common people who didn't have enough to eat or wear.
Slave dwellers, commoners, master dwellers, influential dwellers … these were the classifications of social status and authority that Li Yunmu had learned from the fishermen.
Slave dwellers were the lowest class of people. They didn't even have the most basic rights of commoners. They didn't have freedom or any personal rights. The root of the lower class usually came from the families and descendants of those who had been defeated in battle. Even some criminals would sometimes be reduced to slave dwellers.
The meaning of slave dwellers was similar to that of slaves on Earth.
Commoners were the most ordinary people, just like the fishermen of the fishing village. There was nothing much to say about them. They were as insignificant and weak as ants among the masses.
The status and authority of master dwellers were a grade higher than that of commoners. At this stage, master dwellers had the right to speak in the Origin World.
If a master dweller was killed, he would receive a certain amount of attention and wouldn't be ignored like commoners. His safety and property would be protected and investigated.
Therefore, regardless of whether they were at the lower class or commoners, their life's goal was to struggle to become a master dweller.
To become a master dweller, one had to possess a certain amount of wealth and reach a certain threshold. Commoners could apply to become a master dweller.
This threshold was approximately one hundred thousand silver sand grains or the strength of commoners. Once they had the strength of nine oxen and cultivated at least one body cultivation battle skill, they could become a master dweller.
It could be said that the main citizens were the ones who had the greatest motivation to become a Physical Martial Artist. Physical Martial Artists were those whose physique had reached the level of the strength of nine bulls and were able to practice a Physical Art Skill.
As for the constitution of influential people, the requirements were even higher. The majority of influential people were formed slowly by the landlord class. Their wealth had to reach one million silver sand grains or they had to pass the test to become a flux expert to become an influential person.
In the entire Origin World, they were people who possessed a certain amount of authority.
Finally, there was an even higher social class above master dwellers, and that was — master dwellers.
One needed to possess one hundred million silver sand grains to apply to become a master dweller. At the same time, when a flux expert's strength reached an even higher level, they could establish their own master dwellers.
Once they reached the master dweller level, they could openly establish their own power and wouldn't lose out to the minor nobles of Earth, which was why they were called masters dwellers.
They had both authority and influence, but once they had authority and influence, they would naturally have their own armed forces.
