Chapter 496: Chapter 492: Regional Superiority

In fact, exclusionism and regional superiority are very interesting and natural phenomena, especially in economically prosperous areas like Da Lin and Chuanyuan. Take Da Lin as an example, a city of more than 15 million residents which, hundreds of years ago, was home to only two or three million people. These inhabitants considered themselves locals of Da Lin, and among them, many complained about the influx of outsiders.

They believed that the newcomers, numbering twelve million, had occupied their resources, seized their opportunities, and even begun to despise foreigners coming to Da Lin.

These people stopped speaking the official language and used only the Da Lin dialect, manifesting the superiority of their culture.

Another interesting phenomenon is that in prosperous cities like Da Lin and Chuanyuan, such people are not a minority.

Without much thought, one can realize that the powerful warriors and established families who truly occupy resources are unlikely to be exclusionists. Otherwise, they wouldn’t conduct trade with different states and departments, and export food in large quantities.

This group of elites rely on the substantial population of Da Lin to recruit plenty of clan warriors to strengthen their families. Perhaps a small portion of them have a deep-rooted sense of regional superiority, but they would never voice it. Revealing such sentiments would make it difficult for them to attract wandering warriors.

Excluding these resource monopolists, without close observation, we can feel that those who dislike outsiders the most are often the ones who struggle in the city. For them, whether it’s city welfare brought by excess wealth, generations-old dilapidated ancestral homes, or an illusory feeling of superiority from living in a top-tier city, these are their last straws.

They serve in various industries in Da Lin and are trusted because of their long-term residence. They hold positions like shopkeepers, secretaries, and stewards, which are quite laborious yet not high on the social ladder. Yet they are well aware that they might not be able to break through economic classes in a big city like Da Lin in their lifetime.

Therefore, of course, they cannot admit that it’s their incompetence that has led to this outcome. People are accustomed to putting blame on others, so who do they turn to?
