But he couldn't do it, because there were two acquaintances of his in the village, Leon and Chris. Although in his opinion, Leon and Chris together could potentially overturn Wesker, they were still comrades who had fought their way out of Raccoon City, and he couldn't just turn a blind eye to them.
Another point is that Ada has already been infected. When she first entered the village, she fought with Salazar's right hand and was unfortunately injured and infected. When Shen Ye was being affectionate with her, he saw the small wound on her arm and the red light gradually gathering in her eyes.
To be fair, this problem isn't serious, because Ada is different from other infected individuals. While others need special equipment to remove the parasites from their bodies, Ada only needs to kill the parasites in her infected right hand to kill the parasites inside her body.
Moreover, if Ada agrees to leave with him, he can take her back to reality. The system will automatically help clear the parasites from her body and perform a full-body repair for everyone.
However, Shen Ye thought that Ada would not agree to leave with him immediately. After all, she had come here with great difficulty, not only had she not completed her mission, but she had also been injured. Shen Ye estimated that, given her personality, she would definitely not let the matter rest so easily.
So after thinking it over for a while, Shen Ye decided to continue experiencing the storyline—helping Leon and Chris, and then taking down Ada's infected right hand.
But he obviously didn't know what Ada was really thinking. If he said he wanted to take her away, Ada would hesitate for a moment, but she would eventually agree. After all, when they were in the bedroom, Ada had actually thought about whether to give up the mission or even just quit the job and go to Country Z with him.
If you think about it carefully, this is the third time she's thought this way, following Raccoon City and Roanapura.
Unlike the previous two times, this time her thoughts were very strong and she was very serious.
……
Regardless, Shen Ye decided to stay and help Leon and Chris first, so as not to let them think that he valued women over friends. So he told them his thoughts.
Robert and Fabiola naturally wouldn't object; they unconditionally supported Shen Ye's words. After hesitating for a moment, Ada also nodded. She was prepared to give up this mission, or rather, to quit.
Shen Ye then took out a rifle and bullets from his system space and handed them to Ada. Ada looked at the rifle that suddenly appeared in his hand with a surprised expression, not understanding where he had taken it from.
"It's strange, isn't it? You've never seen this before, have you?" Robert said, unusually with a hint of smugness, as he looked at Ada's astonished face.
"It seems you know a lot of Shen's secrets!" Ada frowned instantly.
Robert casually remarked, "Not only do I know many of Shen's secrets, but I've also met many people who are close to Shen, especially..."
Robert paused at this point, then looked at Ida, waiting for her to ask.
Sure enough, Ida, intrigued, followed up with, "Especially what?"
Robert then said with no small amount of pride, "Especially Shen's family. I have already met Shen's parents, and they are very satisfied with me."
In fact, Shen Ye's parents had met not only her, but also Fabiola and Manuela. However, since the two girls were not yet adults, they paid more attention to Robert. Especially when Shen Ye's mother called him, his mother found the two of them sleeping together.
Ida is of Chinese descent. Although she has not been to China many times, she knows some of the customs there and what it means for a man to introduce his girlfriend to his parents. Moreover, this is also true abroad.
So this time it was Ada's turn to be unhappy, because back in Raccoon City, she had imagined the scene of Shen Ye taking her to Country Z to meet his parents, but Robert, the latecomer, beat her to it.
Seeing Ida's face turn cold instantly, Roberta's previous displeasure vanished. She continued, "Speaking of which, although you are only of Chinese descent, you should know some of the customs of China, right? Do you know what a red envelope is? The one Shen's mother... no, Aunt Shen's mother handed to me was this thick."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hand in front of Ida, but the thickness was a bit exaggerated; reducing it to one-tenth would be more appropriate.
They even called her "Auntie"... Ada suddenly felt a bit annoyed and regretful. Logically speaking, she was the one who was most qualified to receive that red envelope, and she was the only one who was most qualified to call her "Auntie".
“My mom didn’t give you that much. Besides, it wasn’t just you who took it; Fabiola and Manuela also got a share.” Seeing that Ida had been hurt several times by Robert’s few words, Shen Ye quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Hearing this, Ada felt a little better, but that was all. She looked at Shen Ye and made up her mind, saying, "After this mission is over, I plan to quit and go to Z country with you. I want your parents... no, I want your uncle and aunt to know that I am the most suitable wife for you."
……
(I was called back to work by my company around 9 pm last night because there's a holiday coming up and there's a lot to do. As a result, I didn't get off work until 8 am this morning. Then I got another phone call in the afternoon and was called back to work again. I just got off work now, so I'll prepare Chapter 2 after I rest for a while.)
Chapter 371! The Benefits of Being a Middleman
……
Hearing Ada's resolute tone, Shen Ye made a noncommittal "hmm".
To be honest, there's only one woman he currently considers the most suitable for a wife: Alice. Putting aside looks and figure, the women around him are all quite attractive, but it's her personality that Shen Ye finds appealing. She's understanding, a great cook, and a good fighter—truly perfect.
Of course, these words could only be kept to himself and could not be spoken aloud, otherwise he would not only offend Ada, but all women.
After hearing Ada's words, Robert sneered, "The most suitable wife? What can you do? Go back to your old ways as a spy and tattletale?"
"Ask yourself before you ask me, Miss Roberta," Ada said dismissively, crossing her arms. "As a maid, you can't do anything right. You can't cook, you can't do housework. I'm afraid besides fighting, all you can do is give birth. But that seems like anything a woman can do, and you might not even be able to do it better than me, after all..."
As she said this, Ada glanced at Robert's buttocks and then shook her head, a double blow of words and body image.
Speaking of which, Ada had lived in Roanapur with Shen Ye, Robert, and others for a while and was deeply impressed by the maid who couldn't do housework and cooked terribly. At the time, she just found it a bit funny that a maid couldn't do anything right, but now she was using it as a weapon to attack Robert.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ada's words, Roberta was struck dumb, frozen in place, her face turning pale. But she couldn't refute it, because what Ada said was absolutely true.
So Shen Ye stepped forward again to speak up for Robert: "Robert has been trying very hard. Although her cooking is terrible, I don't care. She can eat a lot every time. Although she's not good at housework, at least she doesn't throw dishes all the time now..."
Shen Ye's voice grew softer and softer; well, it felt like he was proving Robert's flaws.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye quickly added, "No matter what, Roberta has already tried her best, and I can see that, so she will always be the most perfect head maid in my heart."
With the addition of the androids, there are now several maids in the household, so Roberto's status as head maid is now confirmed.
"But I am still the most suitable wife for you." Ida missed the opportunity before, but she will definitely not miss it again now. After all, her position in the family will depend on her own efforts.
Reinvigorated by Shen Ye's words, Robertt retorted, "Then I'll wait and see."
"Remember to wipe it a few more times." Ida knew the idiom, and she pointed to her eyes.
Shen Ye was actually quite helpless about the war between women. He had always wanted a harmonious harem, but that was obviously impossible. It was normal for there to be some conflicts when there were many women in the family, and it wasn't necessarily a bad thing, because Shen Ye, as the middleman, could always benefit from it.
Just like Scarlett, Alice, and Tifa, they would always quarrel over the smallest things, and then Scarlett would be ganged up on by Alice and Tifa. In the end, Scarlett, who had suffered a loss, could only ask Shen Ye for help. As the middleman, Shen Ye always managed to gain a lot of benefits and even fulfill some small requests that would normally be difficult to make.
This time was no exception. After the two women finished their verbal argument, Shen Ye comforted both of them and, as expected, received some small benefits. It was just a pity that he was in a dangerous foreign land, otherwise, he would have received more than just small benefits.
……
Amidst their bickering, the group didn't forget their main task and began their search for Leon and Chris. Of course, only Shen Ye was truly interested in this matter; Ada and Roberta were completely uninterested, not caring whether Leon and Chris were alive or dead.
Before setting off, Shen Ye glanced at the sky and recalled the plot, then led the three women away from the village square and onto the path leading to the manor.
Unlike in the game, if two characters take the same path, they will encounter the exact same enemies due to the game mechanics. However, this is not a game, so the group did not encounter any enemies along the way, only seeing corpses lying all over the place, which were obviously taken care of by Leon and Chris.
This made Shen Ye hesitate again. Based on what he had seen and heard along the way, it seemed that Leon and Chris really didn't need his help.
They walked smoothly to the end of the path and arrived at a wooden suspension bridge.
The wooden suspension bridge was severely damaged, but the main structure was still relatively intact. However, it still slowed their progress, and it took them quite some time to cross it.
As soon as they crossed the suspension bridge, the four saw a giant and the corpses of many villagers lying on the ground. The surrounding wooden houses were also completely destroyed, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here.
None of the four had the desire to stay and examine the place carefully. After a brief pause, they continued on their way.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, the group passed through a dense jungle, and then a quaint castle appeared before them.
Looking at the castle before them, none of the three women exclaimed in amazement like girls dreaming of being princesses. Shen Ye, however, muttered, "If only we could buy a castle like this back home. It wouldn't matter how many people lived there; everyone could have their own room, and maybe even their own private bathroom. I could have one too..."
Although he had already bought a villa, Shen Ye still felt it was too small. However, there were no castles in China, and even estates were only available in bustling big cities. So, once he had more women around him, he planned to move to a big city.
Of course, he also considered buying a piece of land in the suburbs of his city and building a manor, but firstly, the procedures were difficult to get approved, and secondly, building a manor would take a lot of time. It would be better to just buy it directly, do some simple renovations, and move in immediately.
With that thought in mind, Shen Ye led the three women into the castle.
The castle's interior was complex and intricate, but Shen Ye had played games before, so while he wasn't exactly an expert, he at least avoided taking unnecessary detours. Moreover, Leon and Chris had already entered the castle before them, and most of the traps inside had been deactivated. The group quickly found them by following the trails left by Leon and Chris.
Before finding them, Ada vomited and spat out an unhatched worm egg, indicating that Leon and Chris had dealt with the mother that infected Ada, the right hand, namely Beldug.
……
(While writing, I've been thinking a lot. I plan to write about King of Fighters next. Of course, everyone can give me some suggestions, which I'll take into consideration, hehe.)
Chapter 372! Surprise and Unexpected Events
(I wasn't satisfied with the previous chapter, so I revised it, streamlining and reducing some parts of the plot.)
……
The altar on the upper level of the castle.
At this moment, Leon and Chris are confronting Raymond Salazar, the lord of the castle.
“Hand over Ashley, and we might consider letting you go, Raymond,” Leon said, pointing his gun at Raymond, the castle's owner.
“Ashley has already been taken to the island by Sadler. You’ve come to the wrong place. Also, you should address me as ‘sir’ when you’re addressing a nobleman. You ill-mannered fellow, you deserve to be punished!” Not far from Lyon, a short, middle-aged man wearing a wig shouted.
Hearing the short man's clamor, Chris, who was next to Leon, pretended to be puzzled and said, "I thought all the nobles had been swept into the dustbin of history."
Do you approve of him, Lyon?
“So she’s a noblewoman. I thought she was a lady. In my opinion, this lady should be staying on the top floor of the castle, waiting for her knight to come and rescue her,” Leon said loudly, raising his voice and referring to Raymond as “she.”
The middle-aged man named Raymond Salazar wore a wig and was short in stature, making him look more like an elderly woman, which is why Leon said that.
"You bastards, you lowly commoners, you are insulting a great nobleman, you are insulting the Salazar family, I will kill you all!" Leon's words successfully enraged Raymond, who said furiously, regarding the family's honor as equal to his life.
"Who is insulting the Salazar family, Raymond? How much did your ancestors pay to seal the Plaka parasite? And what did you do? For the sake of so-called power, you became the parasite's lackey. You are the one insulting the Salazar family." Leon, who never lost an argument, immediately retorted.
After hearing Leon's words, Raymond trembled with anger, but he couldn't refute Leon because what Leon said was true.
"That's because my ancestors didn't know how to use the power of the parasites, wasting the opportunity for the Salazar family to rise to prominence." After a long while, Raymond finally retorted, then pointed a finger and shouted, "As long as we make good use of this power, we can revive the Salazar family. Hehe, I'll show you the greatness of this power."
After he finished speaking, dozens of tentacles suddenly appeared behind him. These tentacles were similar to plant roots and quickly wrapped around him.
Seeing Raymond undergoing a transformation, Leon asked Chris in a low voice, "How many grenades are left?"
This isn't a game; you can't just pick up bullets everywhere, and you can't buy weapons like rocket launchers from merchants. Every bullet you fire is one less you have left.
"We ran out a long time ago, right when we were shooting that long-tailed guy." Chris patted the ammo pouch on his waist, which used to hold rifle grenades but now only served as a magazine holder, making a banging sound when patted.
