Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

This is why Alice told Shen Ye that she was unemployed—although she still had some flowers at home, most of them were for decoration and she couldn't sell them.

“However, you don’t seem sad at all.” As they walked out of the church, Shen Ye kept looking at Alice’s face and found that she was as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on her face.

"Well! Anyway, there are only a few flowers left, so let them have them if they like them." Alice waved her hand generously. "Besides... after growing flowers for so long, I suddenly want to try a new job."

“A new job? Sure, people always want to try new things and experience new lives.” Shen Ye nodded, then added, “But you don’t have to work. I have plenty of money; I can support you more than enough.”

"I don't want to be a freeloader, Shen!" Alice has always been a self-reliant girl, as evidenced by the fact that she sold flowers all by herself when she was very young.

"I want to earn my own living!"

"Have you decided what kind of job you want to do in the future?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

"I've made up my mind!" Alice nodded, a sly smile on her face.

Seeing Alice's smile, Shen Ye's heart inexplicably started pounding. He cautiously asked, "So fast? Can you tell me what you're planning to do?"

“Of course,” Alice said with a smile. “I’m going to Tifa’s place to help her manage the bar.”

"What?" Shen Ye exclaimed in surprise.

…………

Shen Ye was vehemently opposed to Alice's idea of ​​working for Tifa. Not only was Alice still being monitored by the Turks, but if she went there, it would likely expose Barrett and the others' identities, although that was bound to happen sooner or later.

But all of the above are minor matters. The important thing is the scene that will definitely cause Shen Ye a headache after Alice and Tifa stay together.

Although the two women are unlikely to argue, they will definitely bicker. If one of them suffers a loss and needs his help, who will he choose to side with?

However, even though Shen Ye was against it, Alice was determined to go, and she did it right away. As soon as they came out of the church, she pulled Shen Ye onto the bus to the Seventh District.

On the bus, Shen Ye continued to persuade her, saying that working in a bar was very hard, and that she had to be careful of drunk people causing trouble. Most importantly, she would work very late, and it wouldn't be safe to go home then.

Alice's words silenced him.

"Are you really going to let me go back alone?"

Well, what else could Shen Ye say? He could only agree.

But he soon thought of another problem: if he had to take Alice home every day, wouldn't Tifa see him taking Alice home every day after work, and then go home alone?

Can she handle this?

Moreover, this would mean less time for him and Tifa to be alone, which is completely different from Tifa asking them to move in. After all, if they moved in, they would stay here and would always find opportunities to be alone.

"Sigh!" Thinking of this, Shen Ye couldn't help but sigh, and he began to worry about the days to come.

Not long after, the bus arrived at the Seventh Street.

After Alice got out of the car, she dragged the somewhat reluctant Shen Ye straight to the Seventh Heaven Bar.

Chapter 182! When Midgar's City Hunter

……

Since it was still morning, there were naturally no customers in the Seventh Heaven bar, except for Tifa who was checking the drinks and food that had just been delivered using the order slip.

Just then, she heard footsteps at the door and said without looking up, "I'm sorry, it's not open for business yet. Please come back later!"

"Shall we come back later?" Shen Ye had already composed himself halfway there and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Shen Ye's voice, Tifa immediately dropped the order form and pen in her hand, looked up in surprise, and opened her arms to pounce on him.

Then she saw Alice standing next to Shen Ye and froze on the spot.

“You can pretend I don’t exist,” Alice said with a smile, arms crossed.

“But I’m not blind!” Tifa pouted, picked up the order slip and pen from the ground, put them on the counter, and said, “Please sit down for a while, I’ll make you some tea.”

"Okay!" Shen Ye nodded and sat down at a table further inside with Alice.

Not long after, Tifa came over with a cup of hot tea, put it down, and sat down opposite Shen Ye.

Shen Ye picked up his teacup and took a small sip, but it was too hot for him to taste, so he simply put the teacup down and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Jesse?"

He knew that Jesse would come to the bar to help Tifa when he had free time, since the entire Avalanche team basically relied on the money Tifa earned from running the bar to support their operations.

“Barrett and the others went out to maintain order, so they asked Jesse to take Marlene to school. She’ll be back in a bit,” Tifa said, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Shen Ye.

“Oh, no wonder.” Shen Ye showed an understanding expression. Barrett and his colleagues were vigilantes in the Seventh District. Although their salaries were not high, they had a lot to do, which earned them a high reputation and made them very respected in the Seventh District.

"What about Claude? That guy eats and stays here for free, didn't he ever think of coming over to help?" Shen Ye asked, scanning the bar.

Tifa noticed that Alice's face suddenly turned strange after hearing Cloud's name, but she didn't pay much attention to it and just snorted and said, "That guy went out early this morning, saying he was looking for work. Now he's either helping some old lady find her dog or helping someone clean up the monsters that have invaded the city."

"He truly is a qualified mercenary; he can't stay idle for a moment!" Shen Ye exclaimed.

"By the way, you guys came so early, you didn't just want to talk to me about this, did you?" Tifa looked at Alice with some doubt. If only Shen Ye had come alone, she definitely wouldn't have asked this.

“Of course not.” Shen Ye shook his head, glanced at Alice, and said, “I came for her work.”

"Her? Her job?" Tifa was even more confused, then turned to Alice and asked, "Aren't you selling flowers?"

"Something happened early this morning. My flowerbed was destroyed, and I... I lost my job," Alice said helplessly. "In order to have enough to eat, I wanted to ask if you are still hiring."

With Shen around, how could you possibly go hungry? Although she thought this to herself, Tifa still said, "Hiring people is an option, but my little bar can't afford to pay high wages."

"It doesn't need to be much, just give me whatever you think is fair," Alice said nonchalantly, since she wasn't really after that so-called salary anyway.

However, she herself was not sure what she was doing it for; perhaps it was to experience a new life?

“In that case, you can actually start work now.” Tifa nodded, then remembered something else: “But we usually stay open very late. Although it’s not very tiring, if you go home alone then…”

"Don't worry, Shen will take me, everything will be fine," Alice said with a smile.

Tifa paused for a moment, her expression shifting from confusion to surprise, and finally she pouted as if she were a little angry.

She had, of course, thought of what Shen Ye had thought of earlier.

Tifa shifted her gaze from Alice's face to Shen Ye's, noticing that he was also looking at her. In an instant, a great deal of information was exchanged through their eyes, and then the two nodded slightly at the same time.

It's time for Alice to move to Seventh Street!

……

Although Alice's job was done, the three of them still sat and chatted, and soon the conversation turned to Shen Ye.

Since Shen Ye usually accompanies Alice to sell flowers every night, and now that Alice is no longer selling flowers, he naturally has some free time. Alice and Tifa simply discussed having Shen Ye work at the bar as well.

Shen Ye naturally refused, and repeatedly stated that he wanted to find a more masculine job, such as becoming a mercenary like Claude.

"What's so good about being a mercenary? They're always running around and never home." Tifa was very opposed to Shen Ye becoming a mercenary, fearing that he might suddenly disappear for several years.

Alice disagreed as well, and even shared the same reasons and ideas as Tifa.

Shen Ye could easily guess what the two women were thinking, so he said to them, "Not the kind of mercenary who travels all over the world, but a Midgard City Hunter who helps people solve their problems right here in this city."

He continued, "I can put up a sign at the entrance of the bar to attract people who need help. While helping others with small tasks, I can also attract more customers to the bar."

Besides, I'll mostly just do quests to clear out monsters invading the city or deliver items for others; I won't leave the city at all.

After hearing his words, the two women exchanged a glance and suddenly thought that this would work. After pondering for a moment, they nodded in agreement.

"Wow! Shen, Alice, what brings you here?"

Just as the three were discussing how to proceed with their work, Jesse finally returned.

Perhaps because she was taking Marlene to school, she wasn't wearing that glaring breastplate, but rather a casual outfit. However, the slightly oversized top didn't hide her shapely figure, and her high, magnificent breasts looked no less impressive than Alice's.

“We’re here to look for jobs,” Alice immediately explained to Jesse.

After hearing Alice's words, Jesse excitedly pumped his fist: "Great! That means I'll have less work to do."

"There's not much work to do usually, Jessie," Tifa said, dissatisfied. Even without Jessie's help, she could manage on her own most of the time.

"Oh, every little bit helps!" Jessie didn't care about Tifa's tone at all. She walked over and sat down next to her, then kept glancing at Shen Ye. But because Alice was there, she would look away immediately after each glance.

……

Chapter 183! The First Deal

……

However, Alice couldn't hide her little actions from her. She squinted and scrutinized Shen Ye and Jesse, but Jesse probably noticed her gaze and started talking to Tifa, so she gave up.

"Tifa, the guy who asked me to replace the water purifier filter hasn't paid me yet. I went back to him after dropping Marlene off at school today, and he kicked me out pretty aggressively." Besides helping Tifa manage the bar in her spare time, Jessie also makes water purifiers on the side. After all, water quality has always been a big problem in Midgar's current environment, so her water purifiers sell very well.

"Is it that weapon shop owner again?" Tifa knew that guy too; she had been there a few times, but the result was the same as Jesse's.

Jesse nodded, a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and frowned as he said, "That guy is always so fierce. He's clearly enjoying using it, but he always makes excuses saying that the water purification device I made isn't working. It's really awful."

Seemingly recalling that person's appalling attitude, and perhaps feeling the same way, Tifa also frowned: "It's because of these guys that we're always unable to collect enough funds in time, otherwise Shen wouldn't have had to pay for us last night."

When Alice heard Tifa mention that Shen Ye had paid for their bill, her gaze immediately shifted to Shen Ye's face. Just as she was about to ask what had happened after returning from the disc last night, Tifa said, "Speaking of which, Shen, weren't you going to become a Midgard City Hunter? Now's the perfect time. I'd like to be your first customer and hire you to help me collect debts. What do you think?"

"Sure, but can't you guys handle the debt collection yourselves? Even if the other party is rude and refuses to pay, can't you just beat them up? With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" Shen Ye asked curiously. He had been thinking about this while playing the game. Putting aside Tifa's powerful physical skills, any one of the Avalanche team members could beat that guy half to death.

“After all, they are all neighbors living nearby. We are afraid that if we take action, it will have a bad impact,” Jesse explained.

Tifa nodded, then stood up, supporting herself on the table with both hands. She looked at Shen Ye with a pitiful expression and said, "Please, Shen, I'm your first customer. You won't refuse, will you?"
