Infinite: From the Resident Evil

Although Alice had finished her work, the three of them still sat there chatting, and soon the topic turned to Shen Ye.

Because Shen Ye would usually accompany Alice to sell flowers at night, and now that Alice was no longer selling flowers, he naturally had some free time. Alice and Tifa simply discussed and decided to let Shen Ye work in the bar as well.

Of course Shen Ye refused, and kept saying that he wanted to find a more manly job, such as becoming a mercenary like Claude.

"What's so good about being a mercenary? You run around all day and never go home." Tifa was very opposed to Shen Ye becoming a mercenary, for fear that he would suddenly disappear for several years.

Alice also disagreed, and even her reasons and ideas were the same as Tifa's.

How could Shen Ye not guess what the two girls were thinking? He said to them, "I'm not a mercenary running around the world. I'm a Midgar City Hunter who helps people solve their problems right here in this city."

He then continued: "I can hang a sign at the door of the bar to attract people who need help, and help others with small tasks while also bringing some popularity to the bar.

And the most I do is to clear out the monsters that invade the city, or help others deliver things, but I won’t leave the city.”

After hearing his words, the two women looked at each other, and suddenly felt that this was okay. After each of them pondered for a moment, they nodded in agreement.

"Wow! Shen, Alice, why are you here?"

Just as the three of them were discussing how to proceed with their work, Jesse finally came back.

Probably because she was sending Marlene to school, she was not wearing the annoying breastplate at this moment. Instead, she was wearing a casual outfit. However, the slightly loose top did not hide her exquisite figure. Her towering and majestic breasts looked no worse than Alice's.

"We are here to find a job." Alice immediately explained to Jesse.

After hearing what Alice said, Jesse waved his fist in surprise: "Great, this way my workload will be less."

"It's not a big workload usually, Jesse." Tifa said dissatisfiedly. Even without Jesse's help, she could usually take care of it by herself.

"Oh, the less the better!" Jesse didn't care about Tifa's tone at all. She walked over to her and sat down. Then she glanced at Shen Ye from time to time, but because Alice was here, she looked away every time she glanced.

Chapter 183! The first business

……

However, her little action could not be hidden from Alice at all. She squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Ye and Jesse, but Jesse probably noticed her eyes and started to talk to Tifa, so she let it go.

"Tifa, the guy who asked me to replace the filter of the water purification device last time hasn't paid me yet. After sending Marlene to school today, I went there again, but that guy kicked me out aggressively." In addition to helping Tifa run the bar when she is free, Jesse also works part-time making water purification devices. After all, with the current environment in Midgar, water quality has always been a big problem, so the water purification devices she makes are selling very well.

"Is it the owner of the weapons shop again?" Tifa also knew that guy. She had been there a few times, but the result was the same as Jesse's.

Jesse nodded, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, and frowned as he said, "That guy is always so fierce. He is obviously very happy using it, but he always makes excuses saying that the water purification device I made doesn't work. It's really hateful."

As if she also remembered the man's bad attitude, and seemed to feel the same way, Tifa also frowned: "It is because of these guys that we are always unable to collect enough funds in time, otherwise Shen would not have to pay for us last night."

Alice, who was standing by, heard Tifa mention that Shen Ye helped them pay, and her eyes immediately moved to Shen Ye's face. Just when she was about to ask what happened after he came back from the round plate last night, she heard Tifa say, "Speaking of which, Shen, aren't you going to be a city hunter in Midgar? Now is the perfect time. I want to be your first customer and hire you to help me collect the bills. What do you think?"

"Of course you can, but can't you collect the money yourselves? Even if the other party has a bad attitude and doesn't pay, can't you just beat him up? With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to do, right?" Shen Ye asked curiously. He was thinking about this while playing the game. Not to mention Tifa who is strong in physical skills, anyone from the Avalanche team can beat that guy half to death.

"After all, we are neighbors living nearby. If we take action, we are afraid that it will have a bad impact," Jesse explained.

Tifa nodded, stood up with her hands on the table, and looked at Shen Ye pitifully: "Okay, Shen, I'm your first customer, you won't refuse, right?"

Looking at Tifa who was leaning against him because she was leaning against the table, Shen Ye swallowed unnaturally because he saw the ravine on Tifa's chest, which was too eye-catching. However, because Alice was still beside him, he looked away with some difficulty and said, "Of course I won't refuse. Moreover, since you are my first customer, I won't charge you any fees this time."

"Thank you, Shen!" Tifa smiled like a flower. If Alice and Jesse hadn't been beside her, she would have even wanted to cross the table and give Shen Ye a kiss.

"Then let's go now!" Tifa said impatiently.

"You two? What about us?" Alice looked at Tifa and pointed at Jesse.

"You stay and count the drinks and food delivered today. After all, we will need them in the afternoon! I think this should not be a difficult task, right?" Tifa ran to the bar, took the list and pen, and placed them in front of Alice and Jesse.

"Why should we stay?" Alice shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Because I'm the boss of Seventh Heaven, and you're just helping out, so of course you have to listen to me." Tifa acted like a bar owner, "Besides, I hired Shen, and as his employer, I have the right to go with him, isn't that right, mercenary?"

"Yes, yes!" Looking at Alice's dissatisfied eyes, Shen Ye smiled dryly and nodded.

"Well, after all, this is your first mission as a Midgar Hunter, and I have to support you no matter what." Alice thought about it and felt that she shouldn't be so stingy, so she agreed, but there was a hint of sourness in her tone.

As for Jesse sitting opposite her, she had even less objection. After looking at Tifa with a hint of envy, she grabbed the list and pen, and stood up to count the goods.

……

After coming out of the Seventh Heaven and before they had walked too far, Tifa naturally hugged Shen Ye's arm. If she wasn't almost a head shorter than Shen Ye, she would even want to put her head on Shen Ye's shoulder.

But this was enough for Shen Ye. The soft touch on his arm made him feel a little excited. If he hadn't had better self-control recently, he would have been afraid of making a fool of himself in broad daylight.

When passing by Tianwangzhuang, at the door of a room on the first floor, an old lady with white hair like a broom leaned on the railing and shouted to Tifa: "Hey, Tifa, the man you are hugging so intimately should be your boyfriend, right?"

"Yes! Granny Marley!" Tifa smiled sweetly at the old lady and admitted directly: "His name is Shen, and he also lived here!"

Whenever Shen Ye stayed at Tifa's house, he always got up very late, so he never met the landlord of Tianwang Manor, Grandma Mare.

"Good day! Grandma Mare!" Shen Ye nodded politely to the old lady.

"What a polite child. Unlike that cold guy I met this morning." Grandma Mare smiled and nodded at Shen Ye.

Tifa knew that Granny Marley was talking about Claude. Probably because she was afraid of misunderstanding, she didn't want to explain why Claude was so cold. She just said, "Oh, by the way, Granny Marley, how is the new water purification device?"

"Very good. The purified water has no odor. Miss Jesse's skills are better than before." Grandma Marie praised.

"As long as you think it's good." Although it was Jessie who was being praised, Tifa was also very pleased and said with a smile: "Now it's time to replace the filter, what do you think?"

"I've been waiting for you to come. Wait a moment, I'll go get the money." Grandma Mare said, turned back to the room, and came out with the money after a while.

"Take it carefully, don't let anyone snatch it away!" Ma Lei reminded: "The slums are not very peaceful recently."

"Don't worry, Granny Maree, I'm very skilled!" Tifa didn't count the money, but put it directly into her pocket. Then she took out the filter element from the big bag that Shen Ye was carrying and handed it to Granny Maree.

"That being said, let's leave this matter to Shen Ye!" Granny Marley took the filter and put it aside, then said to Shen Ye: "Tifa is a good girl, you are her boyfriend, you must protect her well."

"Of course." Shen Ye nodded: "I won't let her get hurt."

"I feel relieved when you say that!" Seeing the happy smile on Tifa's face, Grandma Marle also started laughing.

……

Chapter 184! Debt Collection

……

Perhaps because of her age, Granny Marle was very talkative, even a little nagging, and she started chatting with Tifa.

Although Tifa didn't mind it very much, after chatting for a while, she still said, "Granny Maree, let's stop here for today. We still have to go to other places to collect money for changing the filter!"

"I'm so sorry, I actually forgot you were busy. That's what happens when you get older. I hope you don't mind." Grandma Mare said embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Tifa shook her head, then waved and said, "Then we'll go first!"

"Goodbye, Tifa, and that young man." Grandma Marle also waved.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Mare, the two of them collected money from several families in succession, and everything went smoothly without encountering any trouble.

"Finally there is only one left." Tifa put the money away and said to Shen Ye, "Next we are going to a weapons store. The owner there is the guy with a very bad attitude that Jesse and I mentioned."

"So that's my real goal, right!" Shen Ye patted the bag behind him. There were still quite a few filter elements in it. He felt more like someone who helped transport the goods.

Tifa hugged Shen Ye's arm again and nodded: "We could have gone directly to him. After all, other people always pay promptly and never default. We can go anytime, but..."

Tifa rubbed Shen Ye's arm against hers and said happily, "But I want to stay alone with you for a while."

"Then let's walk over slowly. It's still early anyway." Shen Ye glanced at the time. It was still very early before noon. He pinched Tifa's nose affectionately and said.

"Yeah!" Tifa nodded vigorously, feeling very happy.

Of course, no matter how slowly they walked or how long they took, they soon arrived at the door of the weapons store.

Standing at the door, Tifa let go of Shen Ye's arm, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open. Shen Ye followed closely behind. Before they could stand firm, they heard the boss guarding the counter mutter, "Hey, you still have the nerve to come over here. Your filters are not effective at all."

"I'm very sorry, please try this filter, what do you think?" Tifa seemed to be frightened, holding a new filter and said pitifully.

The man standing aside frowned immediately and took a step forward. It was ok when he was playing games before, but now he couldn't stand it.

Tifa noticed Shen Ye's actions and suddenly felt sweet in her heart. She liked the feeling of being protected by the one she loved, and this was exactly the purpose of her calling Shen Ye here this time.

"No need, just get out of here!" The owner of the weapons shop didn't care about Shen Ye's actions, and waved his hands at them vigorously with an impatient look on his face.

"I'm so sorry, but since you don't want to use it anymore, please settle the previous fees." Tifa put her hands on her chest and continued in a pitiful tone.

"What? You're charging me for no effect?" The owner of the weapons shop raised his voice. Seeing Shen Ye approaching the counter, he said, "Don't think that society is that easy... Hey, what are you doing?"

Shen Ye reached across the counter, grabbed the owner of the weapons shop by the collar, and pulled him in front of him: "Pay her, don't make me say it again."

"You want to take action, right? I warn you, there are vigilantes patrolling here." Although the weapons store owner was shaking with fear, he still spoke harshly.

"Vigilance, haha, I'm not from the Seventh Block, so I'm not afraid of any vigilantes. Even if I beat you up, the vigilantes here won't go to other blocks to find me." Shen Ye said coldly. Not to mention that Barrett was the vigilante from the Seventh Block and an acquaintance of his. Even if he didn't have an acquaintance, he wouldn't be worried.

"And, I'm about to say it a second time." Shen Ye pressed his free hand on the counter and with a sudden force, he created a hole in the solid wood counter.

"Pay, I'll pay." The weapon shop owner said in horror.

"Well, thank you for your patronage!" The pitiful expression on Tifa's face instantly turned into a smug smile, and she bowed slightly.

Coming out of the weapon shop, Tifa patted her bulging wallet and said, "Shen, it's all thanks to you!"

"Actually, you can solve it even without my help, right?" Shen Ye turned his head and glanced at her.

Tifa didn't answer the question, but also looked at the time. She found that because it was too smooth, it only took a few minutes. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. With a slightly red face, she said, "There is still an hour until noon. What are your plans before returning to Seventh Heaven?"

"No." Shen Ye shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "How about we go shopping?"

"I'm tired of walking around here." Tifa put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and scratched the ground with her toes.

"Then what do you want to do?" Shen Ye looked down at her and asked.

"This is your first mission, and you didn't charge me for it. I want to thank you." Tifa's face turned redder, and her voice became softer. "Before you go back to the bar, come to my house! Okay?"

Shen Ye knew what she meant, so he coughed and said, "Well... okay."

Tifa immediately hugged Shen Ye's waist happily.

……

When Shen Ye and Tifa returned to the bar, it was already half past twelve. Not only Alice, but also Jesse felt strange seeing the two people who had just returned.

"Does it take so long to collect the bill?" Jesse grabbed a clean cloth and wiped the wine glass vigorously, frowning and asking, "Alice has already prepared the dishes."
