Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Yi Beiwang swore that he would correct his habit of daydreaming when he had the chance.

Before coming to Diamond City, he naively thought that this would be a large city of survivors, or at least have some tall buildings or something.

But the facts slapped him hard in the face.

The so-called Diamond City is just a settlement converted from a large gymnasium, and it looks just like that from the outside.

And now they were standing in front of the closed door, listening to Piper yelling at the guard: "What do you mean you can't open the door? My friends and I are outside enjoying the cold wind, and you can't open it like this even if you're joking! Watch out, I'm going to punch you, Danny!"

The guard named Danny said to Piper through the small speaker at the door: "Little Piper, I am just doing my duty. The mayor said that when you think clearly and stop writing those gossips, you will be put in."

Piper was so angry that he kicked the door twice and said, "Waterfuck, what do you mean by being loyal to your duty? Are you sure you are not seeking revenge for the police officer who is the boyfriend of your cousin's son?"

"Uh... whatever you want to think, I definitely can't let you in anyway. Don't think I can't see that the two guys following you are predators."

Yi Beiwang: Do you all have attribute panels? How do you see it?

Feeling the scrutinizing eyes behind him, Piper was extremely embarrassed at the moment.

Just now I was boasting that I would go in and treat them to noodles, but now, no one can get in.

Piper was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, Yi Beiwang came over, took out a can of canned fruit from his backpack, and started eating in front of the camera above his head.

"We are merchants from Sanctuary Hills. The looters are a thing of the past. We have a batch of goods to sell now. The quality is excellent."

"If you don't open the door, I will sell canned goods like this to other settlements."

Danny looked at the can in Yi Beiwang's hand and recognized that it was the kind that Kara had sold some time ago.

He also saved up bottle caps and bought a can, which was delicious and left a lasting aftertaste.

I didn't expect that these goods came from the hands of plunderers. What should I do?

After thinking it over, Danny opened the door.

Anyway, with Piper's smart little brain, she can find a way to get in even if the door is not opened, so it's better to do her a favor.

The iron gate slowly opened and everyone entered carrying the goods.

Before Yi Beiwang could observe his surroundings, a middle-aged fat man trotted over and scolded Piper: "Piper, what sweet words did you say to deceive Danny? Or did you open the door with your mind?"

Piper put his hands on his hips and retorted, "Hey, what's that called sweet talk? That's called charisma, don't you understand? What does Mayor MacDonald want to do today?"

McDonald smiled disdainfully and said, "Charisma... You are just an alarmist little devil, spreading unrealistic events all day long, causing the citizens of Diamond City to panic. Do you believe me, I will dismantle your printer and sell it for scraps?!"

Piper was not afraid at all, but rather looked forward to it.

"Okay, drive me away and tear down the newspaper office. That way everyone in the city will know that the mayor has violently closed the newspaper office."

"The mayor is so unwelcoming to me, could he be colluding with those corrupt people?"

McDonald roared and shouted, "Don't think I don't know that you are secretly investigating the academy! I don't care what happens to you, but don't destroy this place and the people here. Do you understand?"

After saying that, he looked at Yi Beiwang again and asked, "A Dragon? Who are you? Are you the assistant recruited by Piper? Huh, do you know what earth-shattering event this girl is doing?"

Yi Beiwang nodded and said indifferently: "I know, it's just an investigation of the academy. I have killed the second generation of synths in the academy."

"Also, I want to make it clear that I am her eldest brother, and I will be responsible for her future newspaper news and so on."

"Boss..."

Piper was so moved that he was speechless and held Yi Beiwang's arm tightly.

"You... you..."

McDonald gritted his teeth and patted Yi Beiwang on the shoulder to warn him, but his hand was shocked.

He was so angry that he didn't say anything and just stared at the two of them.

Yi Beiwang didn't care about it, thinking it was just static electricity caused by the dry weather.

Then he took out a box of cigars from his backpack and lit them for McDonald himself.

"Mr. Mayor, a real man should not limit his attention to such trivial matters. In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only interests."

"Look at my cigarettes, and then look at my canned food, which one won't sell well?"

"I'm new here, so this box of cigars is a welcome gift. If the mayor is willing to do me a favor, I'm willing to give 10% of my net profit to build Diamond City. Of course, this money must go through you. What do you say?"

McDonald also calmed down, took the cigar and started smoking.

Well, one can't mess with Bottle Caps. At most, Danny can just keep an eye on them in the future.

But isn't 10% a little less?

McDonald exhaled a breath of foul air, thought for a moment and said, "I want 50% of the net profit."

Yi Beiwang was shocked and cursed, "Go to hell, why don't you go look in the pre-war bank? Maybe you can dig out some coins. I can only give you 20%!"

"There are a lot of people in Diamond City, you know, how about 40%?"

"At most 25 percent. If not, I'll leave."

"Deal, welcome to Diamond City, distinguished guest from afar."

"You're welcome, Your Excellency the Mayor."

The two foxes smiled at each other, shook hands solemnly, and were shocked by static electricity again.

What’s going on? Is it autumn already?

MacDonald swung his arms and warned Piper, "I will keep a close eye on you and your sister. Reporting some gossip is fine, but if you dare to investigate the academy again, I will kick you out of Diamond City."

After saying that, he left while sucking on his cigar.

Piper sighed helplessly, looked at Yi Beiwang and said, "Why are you still hooking up with him? To be honest, I would rather face a predator like you than this hypocritical mayor."

"It's okay. I'm a plunderer. How can you take the bottle cap from me without doing anything?"

To borrow a phrase from Huang Silang: Don’t be in a hurry, just play with him.

Yi Beiwang always felt that this mayor had some unspeakable secret, but it didn’t matter, there was still a long time to go, and he would find out sooner or later.

After patting Piper's little head, Yi Beiwang walked towards the Diamond City with Piper and the others.
