Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

The driver was Robert. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied that Shen Ye only brought Ada and not her, she outwardly maintained a normal expression.

Shen Ye nodded and said, "It's alright. We've basically reached an agreement and paid the deposit. However, the procedures are a bit complicated, and we still need to do some minor renovations and cleaning. Even if we want to move in, we'll have to wait until next month."

“Actually, there’s no need to rush. There are still many empty rooms in the villa. We can move in again when there’s no room left,” Robert said to Shen Ye as he drove.

Shen Ye sighed: "That's what I was thinking too, but to be on the safe side, I don't want the situation of the whole family crammed into one apartment to happen again."

Thinking back to how they used to have to buy bunk beds and have artificial insemination people sleep on the floor because their living space was too small, Shen Ye felt somewhat sorry for them.

Then he sighed again.

"By the way, I hope nothing happened at home while Ada and I were away?"

These past few days, Shen Ye has been extremely busy with the manor's affairs, running around all day handling various procedures, and hasn't even had time to play on his phone. Now is the perfect time to ask Robert's family about their situation.

"It's alright, except that on the third day after you left, Bayonetta and Jeanne went out with Ying again, and they even brought Tifa with them." Robert said this with a faint smile on his face.

Shen Ye said nonchalantly, "Going out is fine, it's good to go shopping... Robert, what's with that smile on your face?"

Shen Ye noticed that Robert's smile was a little strange.

“Because they didn’t go shopping, but went to the comic convention…” Robert said with a smile, “The day after you left, Jeanne said she saw a video of a comic convention going on in the city, and saw people cosplaying them in it, so she wanted to go and see for herself if the cosplayers looked like them.”

"That's definitely not the case. Ceressa and Jenny's height alone would deter a lot of people who want to cosplay them. Besides, their looks can't be faked just by makeup." Shen Ye shrugged. He had also been to comic conventions, and several times, but each time he was more disappointed than the last. Seeing cosplay in person is completely different from seeing photoshopped pictures online.

“Who says no? But they still wanted to go.” Robert continued, “Actually, that’s not the main problem. The main problem was that they didn’t wear hats or masks when they went, and people chased after them and took pictures with cameras. Some people even tried to ask for their contact information, which scared them so much that they didn’t even go into the convention hall and ran back.”

"So they've been staying home obediently these past few days and haven't gone out. Also, Tifa's been in a bad mood these past few days, probably because she was scared by those crazy game fans."

"I told them a long time ago that they should wear hats and masks when they go out..." Shen Ye shook his head helplessly.

“So it’s better for us. We can go out after dressing up a little, and we don’t even need to wear masks,” Ada said after staring out the window for a long time without speaking.

She is a genuine Tokyo University student. Although she has an outstanding appearance and figure, she is definitely not as recognizable as Bayonetta or Tifa. Roberta is even simpler; she doesn't even need to dress up. If she takes off her black-rimmed glasses and lets her hair down, people who don't pay close attention to anime would probably think she is just an ordinary foreign woman.

That's why Shen Ye likes to take Ada and Robert out.

Chatting like this, the three of them soon returned to the villa.

Upon entering, Shen Ye took out some local specialties he had bought in Suzhou and Hangzhou as gifts for the women in his family from his system space. Afterward, he personally took the gifts to visit Tifa, who he had heard had locked herself in her room for a long time without going out...

In short, an hour later, Tifa happily went out with him.

He's really good at charming women now!

……

Before we knew it, the remaining few days had flown by, and the night arrived for us to enter the next world.

After finishing his usual conversation with the system, a white light appeared, and the next second, Shen Ye found himself in a bustling street.

Shen Ye simply glanced up at the huge banner hanging on a tall building in front of him, and he knew which world he was in.

[Warmly celebrate the official launch of the first KOF tournament]

[Bringing together the world's top fighters to showcase their superhuman abilities]

"So... I'm already using the Sanda and Qigong Master skills I got from my last comeback so quickly?" Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself as he opened the system page.

……

[Story World: The King of Fighters]

[Genre: Fantasy/Alternate Universe, Mythology, Fantasy, Action]

【Plot introduction:

For a fighter, becoming the world's strongest fighter is the highest honor. However, finding a suitable opponent is the biggest challenge some fighters face.

However, after some investors with a business-minded eye discovered the huge commercial potential of hosting fighting tournaments, they prepared to develop the street fighting competitions that started in a city called "South Town" into a world-class event and name it KOF.

So in 1994, fighters from all over the world received an invitation marked "KOF," but without a signature, because the organizers allowed invitations to be snatched from others, believing that only the strongest fighters deserved to be in the arena.

Similarly, in order to encourage fighters who receive invitations to participate in the competition, the organizers not only offer high prize money, but also bestow the title of "Strongest Fighter" upon the strongest fighter. So whether it's for fame or money, there's always something that can attract those fighters.

In addition, battle-hardened fighters will form powerful teams to fight in a brand-new way, no longer engaging in one-on-one duels like in the past street fights and door-to-door challenges.

However, the process of qualifying for the competition is not easy...

And you, as a tourist who came to this world by accident, seem to want to try what it's like to become the strongest fighter...

[Note 1: Due to the host's entry, a butterfly effect will occur in the story world, resulting in some fluctuations.]

[Tip 2: The difficulty of this world is relatively moderate for the host. Please relax and enjoy life.]

[Tip 3: The goddess of luck is always watching you]

[Tip 4: The host's current timeline is one month before the start of the 94KOF tournament. Please obtain the qualification to participate as soon as possible.]

[Hint 5: This world is a hybrid world; characters from similar story worlds will appear.]

Chapter 579! The First Day in the King of Fighters World

(As usual, the early episodes are mostly slice-of-life.)

……

"The King of Fighters, I just don't know if it leans towards the official style, has a bit of a Hong Kong comic book feel, or is a combination of both? Plus the King of Fighters' fate storyline?"

After closing the system page, Shen Ye looked around. He was currently on a bustling street, and the signs on the shops around him indicated that he was in Japan, but he didn't know which city.

"It starts in Japan, so who will I encounter first this time? Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, or Shiranui? Or perhaps someone from the Sakazaki family?"

"Also, this time it's a fusion of worlds. Since it focuses on fighters, there should be characters from Tekken or Dead or Alive appearing, right?"

With that in mind, Shen Ye casually found a relatively clean-looking place to sit and rest. The fifteen-minute preparation time had not yet passed, and he was still not free to move around.

Taking advantage of this break, Shen Ye began to ponder again.

"Regardless of anything else, since I've come to this King of Fighters world, not participating in a fighting tournament is basically a waste of my time. So, first of all, I need to get a KOF invitation. But since I'm new here, the official organizers obviously won't give me one, so I'll have to either snatch one... or find someone to team up with and snag a spot..."

"Finding a team is currently more difficult for me than getting an invitation. After all, if all else fails, I can go to Korea, but Master Kim will have to make do..."

"Going to America seems like an option. It's a joke to have athletes participate in fighting competitions. Besides, their skills are just average. Let's not embarrass them on the field."

Thinking about it this way, Shen Ye realized that grabbing an invitation letter seemed to be the best solution, and it was also easier than finding someone to team up with... Wait, Shen Ye suddenly remembered that even if he managed to grab an invitation letter, he would still need to find someone to team up with, right?

"So, the biggest problem right now is finding people to form a team. Should I just go back to China and find a martial arts school to team up with two people? Or should I find some characters who will appear later?"

Shen Ye was a bit conflicted. Moreover, a month was a bit too short. If he wanted to find roles that would only appear later in this month, it would be simpler to just grab two people off the street and have him go on stage alone to take on three of them.

After thinking it over for a while, and until the system notified him that the protection period had expired, Shen Ye made a decision: he would stay in Japan for a few days, and if there was really no other way, he would go to Korea. After all, it was only a few hours' journey from Japan to Korea, unlike going to America. After that, he would just have to find two people he liked to team up with.

Having made up his mind, Shen Ye stood up, dusted himself off, and began to wander aimlessly through the streets.

Come to think of it, every time he enters a new story world, the beginning seems to be like this, and then he always encounters characters from the story by chance... Maybe this time will be the same.

After wandering around for a while, Shen Ye suddenly remembered something and turned to walk into a convenience store.

"Could I have a map of this city, please?" Shen Ye took out a 10,000 yen note, slapped it on the counter, and said to the clerk who looked like a high school girl.

"Please wait a moment." The female shop assistant bowed politely, then rummaged through a box next to her. After a while, she handed Shen Ye a map marked with the word "tourism".

"So I'm in Tokyo now!" While waiting for the clerk to give him his change, Shen Ye glanced at the map. Since it was prepared for tourists, it not only had a map of Tokyo but also maps of nearby cities, and the markings were very detailed. However, the place Shen Ye was looking for was not there.

“Nagoya…it seems the Kusanagi family’s dojo is located there?” Shen Ye murmured to himself as he looked at Nagoya, which is sandwiched between Tokyo and Osaka.

Actually, he didn't remember very clearly either. The storyline of King of Fighters has always been simple, and many characters only have the country of birth, but not the specific city of birth. Otherwise, Shen Ye wouldn't be so troubled.

After looking at the map for a while, the female clerk finally figured out the amount of change and presented it to Shen Ye with both hands: "Sir, here is your money."

However, Shen Ye didn't take it. Instead, he pointed to the money in her hand and said, "You can keep this money, but I have to ask you something..."

"I...I'm sorry...I...I won't be a father..." the female shop assistant said nervously.

"That's not what I'm asking you..." Shen Ye looked at the nervous high school student clerk speechlessly. Besides, he was clearly so young, so how could he say he was a father?

"What would you like to know, sir?" The high school girl clerk visibly breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushed slightly, probably feeling a little embarrassed that she had misunderstood Shen Ye's words.

"Do you know if there's a place nearby called Yata Shrine?" Shen Ye asked, referring to the name of the place he remembered.

"do not know."

"What about the Kusanagi Dojo? Have you heard of it?"

"no!"

"Where is the Shiranui dojo?"

"nor."

"...Kyokugenryu, Toudou... never mind, those two are probably not as famous as the Shiranui Dojo, you probably don't know them either."

He rubbed his face helplessly, put away the map, and walked out of the convenience store. As for the money, he didn't ask for it back. Although he didn't get anything out of him, he still took a bottle of Coke before leaving, intending to drink it on the way.

While drinking cola, Shen Ye asked around on the road. However, the fighting tournament was only in the preparation stage, and many fighters were not famous. Nevertheless, he still managed to find out the exact location of the Kusanagi Dojo. After all, Kyo Kusanagi had won the Japanese Fighters Tournament and was considered quite famous in the eyes of some fighting enthusiasts.

However, even if Shen Ye knew the location of the Kusanagi Dojo in Nagoya, he didn't want to go there. By now, Kyo Kusanagi should have already teamed up with Goro Omoto and Benimaru Nikaido. He wouldn't be able to get a spot even if he went. Besides, he felt that the first fighter he met should be a woman. Dealing with men was so boring!

By this time, Shen Ye had finished the can of cola and casually threw it into the roadside trash can before standing by the roadside trying to hail a taxi.
