Fallout 4: The Wasteland Life of a Pillager

Two days later.

Mike and Kara went to the hiding place outside Diamond City to sort out the goods, and they probably won't be back for a few days.

Natalie stopped helping and went to school to concentrate on her studies.

Only Yi Beiwang and Piper were left here buying newspapers out of boredom.

"Wasteland Shock Report, 10 bottle caps per copy, come and see, come and buy... why the hell is no one buying it?"

Piper sat in front of the newspaper office and shouted, watching the residents passing by him one by one, but none of them even looked at this thing, feeling somewhat speechless.

The title seems quite attractive, why doesn’t anyone come to buy it?

Yi Beiwang, who was sipping a Coke nearby, asked, "Didn't you successfully expose a group of corrupt people using newspapers before? How did you do it?"

"I worked hard to copy hundreds of newspapers and delivered them door to door."

"You didn't collect the money at that time?"

"Uh...well, not really."

"People like to get something for free. Once they have tried something for free, they will not spend money easily again."

Of course, there is also an objective factor. Yi Beiwang may have some strange aura that makes everyone recognize him as a predator.

It was strange enough that the plunderer could enter Diamond City, and no one was willing to take the risk of buying his products.

At this time, McDonald came over, frowned and glared at Piper, and said, "Piper, I remember telling you not to spread any more news about the college. Bring me the newspaper."

Piper spread his hands indifferently and said, "One hundred bottle caps each, thank you."

"You haven't paid the rent this month yet, and you dare to ask me for bottle caps? You dare to ask for so many? Give them to me."

McDonald snatched one away unhappily, glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

"Look how good this is. Post some novels and jokes instead of always thinking about investigating the academy. They are not something Diamond City can mess with."

Seeing this, Yi Beiwang couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mayor, you seem to be very afraid of the academy?"

"It's not me who is afraid, it's everyone who is afraid."

McDonald pointed around and said, "Look at Diamond City now. I can't say it's that good, but it can be considered a landmark area of ​​the Federation."

"Because of this, everyone knows the location of Diamond City, but no one knows where the Academy is, which means they are hiding in the dark and can replace these people with synths at any time, and we can't do anything."

At this point, McDonald looked at Piper again and said, "Piper, I'll say it again, don't provoke the academy, otherwise neither you nor I can withstand their anger."

"I don't ask Diamond City to become better, I just hope it can maintain its current status."

Piper stood up and said righteously: "But people should know the conspiracy of the academy, and people should also know the truth!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yi Beiwang quickly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Mayor, is there any large vacant land nearby? I want to start a commercial project."

"It's an empty lot next to the newspaper office. Do you want to build a house there? If you do, hand in the bottle caps first."

McDonald took out a pen and paper, seemingly thinking about what kind of building materials he could use to trick Yi Beiwang.

Yi Beiwang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I plan to organize some entertainment activities, and you can come and play for free then."

McDonald laughed and said, "Haha, Piper, learn something. You are not as knowledgeable about the ways of the world as a plunderer."

"What mayor? I've changed my ways..."

"Oh, it's all the same, all the same. Just don't forget to pay the tax later. I'm leaving now."

McDonald threw the newspaper into the trash can beside him and left triumphantly.

Yi Beiwang and Piper spat at the same time, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Damn it, I’ll definitely find an opportunity to give that old man a beating later.

"What should we do now? Old Deng will definitely send someone to watch us."

Peip was packing up the newspapers and looking towards Yi Bei.

Yi Beiwang did not answer, but turned and entered the newspaper office, and carried out a bundle of curtains and a machine.

Piper had seen this thing in a book left over from before the war. It looked like a projector and seemed to be able to project something good.

I saw Yi Beiwang setting up a screen next to the newspaper office, then setting up the projector and playing the classic movie "The Pirates of Malebe".

Piper, who had never seen a movie before, was quickly drawn into it and watched the plot.

Yi Beiwang's sound system was also very powerful. The exciting music spread throughout the Diamond City, attracting many people to watch.

The people who were busy just now are now silent.

Just when everyone was engrossed in watching the movie, Yi Beiwang promptly interrupted the screening.

This really ignited everyone's emotions, and they all accused Yi Beiwang of immoral behavior.

Even Pipe couldn't help but want to beat Yi Beiwang up and shook his arm to tell him to play it quickly.

Yi Beiwang tried to calm the impatient Piper and shouted to everyone, "The Diamond City Cinema is open now. If you want to watch it, spend thirty bottle caps to buy a newspaper first."

"The first 100 people to buy will get half price, so hurry up, as the number of places is limited!"

They didn't even glance at the newspaper that cost ten bottle caps, but they grabbed the newspaper that cost thirty bottle caps plus movie tickets.

The newspapers that Pipe had not been able to sell for two days were sold out by Yi Beiwang in two minutes, and some were still in short supply.

Although I know these people are just here to watch the movie, it’s still a good start.

Piper no longer cared about the movie and hurried back to the newspaper office to continue printing newspapers.

Anyway, Yi Beiwang is her boss, so if she wants to watch, she can just act coquettishly next to him.

Yi Beiwang was counting the bottle caps while playing a movie.

As the saying goes, when you have enough food and clothing, you will think about sex. The people in Diamond City have no shortage of food and drink, but they are clearly lacking in entertainment.

If people can be so fascinated by just watching a movie, what would happen if they opened an arcade?

Don’t think too far ahead. Think about what movie will be shown next. Is it better, “Rango” or “Cat in Leather Shoes”?

At this moment, Yi Beiwang suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from behind him.

Yi Beiwang looked back and found that on a platform on the wall not far away, a man dressed also as a plunderer was staring at him.

His weather-beaten face, the scars on his body, and the shiny revolver on his waist all showed one thing: this guy was terrifying.

The man looked down at Yi Beiwang with a sneer, and soon turned and left.

The one who comes is not kind.

Yi Beiwang instinctively felt that this guy might know him, but he didn't know this man.

He wanted to catch up and take a look, but the residents who gathered to watch the movie blocked his way, so he had to give up.

Could it be that the mayor, Old Deng, sent someone to monitor me? This guy is quite willing to do it.

I'll hire some people to catch two radioactive cockroaches and put them in your bed.

Yi Beiwang didn't pay much attention to this matter and continued to walk among the crowd collecting bottle caps.
