"Even worse, some people can only rely on simple tools such as wooden sticks and sharp awls."
After listening to Xiaobale's description, Chang Wei fell into deep thought, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He then turned to Chuan Yuanyi and suddenly said, "Xiao Chuan, what do you think if I asked you to integrate all the surrounding forces?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, never expecting Chang Wei to have such a plan.
Knowing the complex situation here, Little Guava hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Chief, this is absolutely unacceptable! Although this is the outer perimeter and the rulers of the inner perimeter are lax in their management, once you consolidate these forces, it will inevitably attract their attention. They will never allow such a force to emerge!"
"Moreover, these peripheral forces have intricate connections with the inner circle, and may even have someone supporting them behind the scenes. If it's just a newly established force, they might not care, since there are already countless peripheral forces. But if it's a unified force, they will definitely intervene, and might even send evolved beings to destroy it!"
However, everyone seemed unmoved by Little Balala's explanation.
They are all veterans who have been through many battles. Time and war have etched countless marks of glory on them. How could they be easily swayed or retreat because of a few light words?
Their resilience and courage are deeply ingrained in their hearts, becoming an unshakable pillar of their beliefs.
Kawahara I's gaze was firm. He looked directly at Chang Wei without hesitation, his voice filled with determination: "Chief, as long as you trust me, I will do everything in my power to help you unify the forces here."
His heart was racing, and despite Little Guava's reminders echoing in his ears, he trusted his intuition more.
In the instant he came into contact with these people, he keenly sensed that the aura and shadows of at least two of them were similar, which further convinced him of his judgment.
“There are at least three evolved beings here, and you, leader, must be the best among them, otherwise how could you become their leader?”
A surge of pride welled up in Kawahara Ii's heart; he knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he succeeds, he will not only be able to change his own destiny, but also enable his sister to live a better life and say goodbye to those cold, hard, black steamed buns.
He firmly believed that Chang Wei's promise was not empty talk, but must be backed by strong strength and determination. And he only needed to pledge his loyalty to embark on this path that would change his destiny.
Little Balala coldly rebuked him from the side: "You're talking nonsense. How could such a thing be done so easily?" But Kawahara Yi was not swayed by this. His gaze remained fixed on Chang Wei, as if he wanted to convey his determination to him.
Chang Wei smiled slightly, which was a positive answer: "Okay, I will have Little Balala lend you a hand. I only care about the results. No matter what method you use, I will fully support you. I will provide you with the necessary firearms, but the specific actions will be decided by you."
"I want to see the surrounding forces completely eliminated within a week." Chang Wei's tone revealed an undeniable firmness.
Kawahara Yi responded without fear: "Rest assured, leader, in a week, we will be the only force left on the outskirts."
He paused, seemingly hesitant, but finally couldn't resist asking out of curiosity, "Chief, do you have any other plans?"
Chang Wei fell into deep thought while discussing the name of the newly established faction.
Naming is indeed an important step and requires careful consideration.
Just as they were deep in thought, Shadow suddenly had a flash of inspiration and whispered a suggestion: "Leader, why don't we call ourselves the Peerless Society? Based on your unparalleled bravery, it would signify that we become a unique force. This name is both catchy and in line with our expectations."
Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Chang Wei's eyes, and he made the decision without hesitation: "The Peerless Gathering, that's it!"
Then, Chang Wei said to Chuan Yuanyi, "You no longer need to work on the construction site. Here is 1.3 jin of grain, take it. Starting tomorrow, your new task will be supervised by Sato and Nanri Kaori, among others."
Kawahara Yi left with food and roast chicken, accompanied by Shadow.
The next day, Sato and Shadow led five warriors off, leaving only Shadow and Little Balala to accompany Chang Wei.
Chang Wei did not pay much attention to Kawahara I's future actions. He knew that this was just a move on the chessboard, and whether it succeeded or not was entirely within his control.
Today, Chang Wei strolled around the outskirts as usual, and what met his eyes was still a scene of devastation and ruin.
They arrived at some shops, all of which had impressive backgrounds and shrewd minds.
Merchants have always been an indispensable part of society; they meet people's needs and drive social development.
However, as they strolled around, a group of people dressed in flashy clothes with whirlwind patterns embroidered on their garments came into their view.
They swaggered into a shop, where a middle-aged man greeted them with a fawning expression: "Brother Kimimaro, what brings you here?"
Kimimaro, the leader, glanced coldly at the man and said domineeringly, "The protection fee this month will be increased by another 30%!"
The man's expression changed drastically, and he pleaded, "Kimimaro, this..."
"To be honest, we have faced the predicament of soaring prices three times this month. The increase is far greater than before. We are now in a precarious situation. If this continues, I'm afraid our small shop will not be able to continue and we will eventually be forced to close down."
Kimimaro's expression changed drastically, like a dark cloud before a storm. He stared coldly at the man, his voice low and threatening:
"Are you testing my patience?"

Knowing Kimimaro's background all too well, the man felt a surge of fear welling up inside him, and he sighed helplessly:
"Kimimaro, it's not that I'm unwilling to pay, but I truly can't afford it. Our monthly income doesn't even reach 100 catties of grain, how can we possibly afford to pay?"
Kimimaro remained unmoved and coldly replied, "That's none of my business. I'm only responsible for carrying out orders from above. If we can't deliver the grain, we'll have to bear the consequences ourselves."
Chang Wei and Xiao Balala witnessed all of this, and their curiosity grew wildly like weeds.
Chang Wei turned to Xiao Balala and asked, "Who are they? Why are they being so rude and unreasonable?"
A hint of apprehension flashed in Little Balala's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Leader, they are from the Gale Gang. The Gale Gang is a large gang in the base city with many members, and their leader, Mad Blade, is a powerful evolved human."
"Mad Blade?" Chang Wei frowned, clearly unfamiliar with the name.
Little Balala nodded and continued to explain, "01 Mad Blade is famous for his unique wind blade, which is said to be so sharp that it can easily cut through the outer shell of an armored vehicle. He is one of the top evolved beings in the base city."
"Although these members of the Gale Gang are only peripheral members, their greed is in no way diminished. In just one month, they have raised the protection fee three times, which is simply unbearable."
As Little Guava spoke, a cold smile appeared on his face. "If these guys find out that someone hasn't paid enough protection money, they'll beat them up at best, and destroy their shops or kill them at worst. Their methods are extremely cruel."
Upon hearing this, Chang Wei frowned: "Isn't anyone going to do anything about them?"
Little Balala shook his head helplessly: "Mad Blade has intricate connections with the higher-ups here, and they turn a blind eye to this matter."
Anyway, the Gale Gang's territory was mainly in the outer areas, so it didn't have much impact on life in the inner areas, and they couldn't be bothered to care.
As the two were talking, the members of the Mad Wind Gang launched a new round of threats and intimidation.
The members of the Mad Blade Society swept through the entire street like a whirlwind, notifying one house after another, clearly treating the street as their own territory.
However, despite the Mad Blade Society's renowned reputation, there are still many forces that can rival it, so not all shops submit to their protection.
Those shops with powerful backers stood by and watched indifferently, without any fear.
However, the members of the Mad Blade Society didn't care about any of this, and they continued their domineering behavior.
On this street, some people bravely stood up to argue with them, but they were beaten half to death by the Mad Blade Society, and their shops were smashed to pieces.
They left triumphantly, giving Chang Wei and the others only a cold glance before continuing on their way.
Back at his lodgings, Chang Wei looked at Xiao Bale with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you say that the surrounding forces were all small fry? How come a big force like the Mad Blade Society is here?"
This question shocked Chang Wei. If he had known earlier that there were also evolved beings in charge of the outer perimeter, he might not have had this plan to unify the outer perimeter.
Seeing this, Little Balala quickly explained, "Chief, this was indeed my oversight. Although the Mad Blade Society is powerful, their influence on the periphery consists of only some peripheral figures, and strictly speaking, they cannot represent the true Mad Blade Society. So I didn't include them in my calculations before."
Chang Wei frowned, but ultimately chose to forgive: "Okay, I'll let it go this time. But next time you must tell me this important information in advance."
"Now that the Mad Blade Society has appeared on the outskirts, we must reassess our plans."
Chang Wei pondered, "Unifying the surrounding forces now seems even more difficult. I wonder what progress Kawahara Ichi has made."
Little Balala added, "It's not just the Mad Blade Society; there are other forces with affiliated groups on the periphery as well. We must be careful."
Soon, Chang Wei learned some astonishing news from 123:
Two medium-to-upper-level forces on the periphery were wiped out by a gang that suddenly appeared called the Peerless Society, with no survivors.
Although these gangs were located on the periphery, each had dozens of members and their strength should not be underestimated. This news made Chang Wei even more aware that the path to unifying the peripheral forces was fraught with unknowns and dangers.
Now, the Peerless Society has swept in like a storm, its thunderous force uprooting the two opposing forces, leaving no survivors, instantly making the Peerless Society famous.
In the surrounding underground underworld, people were talking about this newly emerged overlord, a powerful figure who had declared his rise to power with ruthless methods.
Chang Wei didn't have to wait long before Sato, Nanri Kaori, Kawahara Ichi, and the others returned, covered in dust and grime, with traces of battle still on their bodies.
Kawahara greeted Chang Wei respectfully. He knew well how formidable these soldiers were; they had easily defeated dozens of enemies with just a few knives, without even using firearms.

Sato and Nanrika easily destroyed two rival forces with their strength. This deepened Kawahara's awe of Chang Wei.
"Little guy, you did a good job," Chang Wei said with a smile, showing no blame for Chuan Yuanyi's methods.
"Chief, these guys may be young, but they fight like madmen and show no mercy."
Sato added that his opinion of Kawahara Ii had also undergone a significant change.
"Leader, we have just been established and need to establish our authority."
Kawahara Yi explained, "Let them see our strength and methods, and they will be intimidated. A powerful force may inspire awe, but a ruthless force is enough to make them tremble with fear. Once they see our methods, they will naturally lose some courage in the upcoming battle."
Chang Wei smiled slightly, expressing his appreciation for Chuan Yuanyi's insights.
He revealed some information to Kawahara Ii and asked for his opinion.
"The Mad Blade Society!" Upon hearing this name, Kawahara Yi's heart stirred.
He knew very well that these forces were all subordinate forces within the inner circle, unlike those forces with no background.
Offending them could cause even bigger trouble, and might even attract the real experts from the inner circle to take action.
“We’d better avoid conflict with them for now,” Kawahara said after careful consideration. “Let’s save them for the final challenge, and deal with them when we are stronger.”
Kawahara Ii's words echoed in Chang Wei's ears. He nodded slightly, his eyes sparkling with approval.
