Chapter 289 The Enclave is by my side
"Are you still worried about not having guns and ammunition? Are you still being despised by your subordinates because you have no food, clothing or daily necessities?"
"Scenery like this is happening in every corner of Mojave right now. Even if you are wealthy now, you could be the next one."
"We are the eBay Merchants Group, a large merchant group from the East Coast. We have everything you want as long as you have enough bottle caps."
"Of course, your excellent talents and strong physique are exactly what we need. Come and join us!"
"Become a businessman, become a hero, become a legend!"
In the Qingquan Town bar, Yi Beiwang listened to the propaganda slogans playing on the radio in a loop, laughing so hard that he lost himself in laughter.
Ever since he reached a py deal with Boone two days ago, his eBay business group has become famous.
Apart from anything else, all the gathering places along the road from Qingquan Town to Thorn City are willing to cooperate with this strange merchant group.
The broadcast also attracted many scavengers, mercenaries, plunderers, etc. who had nowhere to go.
There are all kinds of talents among them, some can repair cars, some can repair guns, some can farm, and some can even play with explosives.
Yi Beiwang didn't care who they were before, as long as they had all their limbs intact and could understand human language, he would accept them.
There's no way, he is still very short of manpower now.
It takes people to build houses, it takes people to run caravans and expand trade routes, and it also takes people to farm.
The new exchange module added to the system can exchange for synths, but it is too expensive, one thousand bottle caps each, and this is the price of a generation of synths.
However, the situation is much better than in the early days of the Federation. At least he now has the capital to turn things around quickly.
George, Ada, Ivan, and Mist are responsible for managing these people at the eBay Merchants Group’s headquarters.
Cass also went to join in the fun, because she found that she was not robbed the last time she went on a business trip with them. She was so happy that she even didn't bother to run the bar.
The base camp was the former NCR correctional facility, and it already had many buildings and facilities that could be used after a little repair.
At the same time, he also exchanged a lot of supplies, and the rags he collected during this period came in handy.
Just like the early development of the Federation, a large amount of supplies were first used to recruit people, and then farming and raising livestock were carried out to achieve self-sufficiency as much as possible.
As of now, there are no less than two hundred people at the base camp.
It sounds like a lot, but in a sense it is not much.
When they heard that food and lodging were provided here, they all came rushing over, eating while expressing their loyalty.
The postman also told himself that most people in Mojave were like this.
As long as you provide food, a good gun, and some cigarettes and alcohol, most people will work for you.
That's good. At the moment, I have enough points, but I urgently need bottle caps.
There are many good things in the system mall, and they all have to be purchased with bottle caps.
For example, there is a thing called the Eden Creator. The name sounds very impressive, and it costs 100 million bottle caps.
Yi Beiwang felt that even if he turned the entire United States upside down, he would not be able to collect so many bottle caps.
But there was no way he would spend so many bottle caps to exchange for something he had no idea what it was used for.
The business group must develop quickly and steadily and quickly gain a foothold in New Vegas.
Then I have to find a way to contact the federal government. After so long, I still haven't found a way to contact them.
Alas, you have to take it step by step, otherwise you may get hurt.
I don’t know how Piper and the others are doing now.
Thinking of this, Yi Beiwang sighed and drank a glass of wine alone.
At this time, the postman sat down on his right, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yi Beiwang, you are a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you are not honest. You are hiding things from me."
Yi Beiwang was a little puzzled and asked: "What did I hide?"
The postman sneered, "Don't pretend. I saw you fighting with Boone."
"You're quite good at using your moves, aren't you? You swung your little fist so hard that it almost broke Boone's defense."
"Beiwang, you still dare to say that you don't know martial arts?!"
Yi Beiwang shook his head helplessly and said, "It's mainly because I'm not good at close combat. Your close combat ability is too awesome. Fighting with you is just asking for humiliation."
The postman laughed and said, "I knew you would say that, so I won't practice close combat with you from now on. Gannon will practice with you. What do you think?"
Speaking of Gannon, Yi Beiwang had a good impression of this guy.
He is a handsome blond man with blue eyes. He is warm-hearted, a good guy and has good medical skills.
But when competing in close combat with such a gentle and elegant doctor, the postman more or less looked down on himself.
Apart from anything else, Yi Beiwang was a man who had fought in close combat with a dozen Enclave soldiers in Shelter 120 and managed to hold his own.
Yi Beiwang was not bragging, he was even willing to let Gannon punch him three times, just to give Gannon face.
Seeing Yi Beiwang's disdainful look, the postman asked, "Before you go to Gannon for training, let me ask you a question. What do you think of the Enclave?"
Speaking of the Enclave, Yi Beiwang had a lot to say, gesticulating with his hands and saying, "Well, I have many opinions. I'm not exaggerating, but the Enclave is simply the scum of scum, the scum of scum."
"Back when I was in Boston on the East Coast, a group of Enclave soldiers wanted to occupy my territory. I had to persuade them to unite the forces of most of the Federation, and it took a lot of effort to defeat them."
"These hateful guys killed hundreds of my people. Those wars almost wiped out half of my family's wealth. How hateful! How despicable!"
At this time, Gannon pushed open the door of the bar and walked in, with a look of something wrong on his face.
He sat to the left of Yi Beiwang and asked cautiously, "What would you do if you saw someone from the Enclave again?"
Yi Beiwang rolled up his sleeves, showed off his soft biceps, and said with a smile: "If I see the Enclave again, I will chop off their heads and throw them on the ground like a ball!"
"I'm telling you, if you see anyone from the Enclave, tell me right away and I'll help you fight for free."
Gannon's mouth twitched a few times and he glanced at the postman next to him.
The postman was covering his mouth at the moment, but after looking at Gannon, he could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
He patted Yi Beiwang on the back and said with a smile: "Let me tell you this, Gannon used to be a member of the Enclave."
"But seriously, he and his companions are really good people. Don't compare them with other Enclave people."
Huh? The Enclave is right next to me?!
Hearing this, Yi Beiwang felt his head buzzing. He looked at the postman and then at Gannon.
Three parts of disbelief, three parts of anger and four parts of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Remembering Gannon's consolation when he was mentally broken, Yi Beiwang opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just let out a long sigh and drank a bottle of whiskey.
I have wondered before whether there are good people in the Enclave, and now it seems that there really are.
This is normal, I used to be a predator...
Alas, worrying so much has turned my young hair white.
