Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Shortly after……

After finishing breakfast, Shen Ye strolled around the shrine for a while, but finding it uninteresting, he decided to go outside for a walk.

However, when he arrived at the shrine's underground parking lot with the help of a maid, he discovered that his motorcycle was gone!

Glancing at the maid who was looking away, Shen Ye finally understood why she had looked embarrassed when he asked her to bring him to the parking lot.

"Looks like I'll have to go out and take a taxi!" Shen Ye muttered to himself, then turned and walked out of the parking lot.

At this moment, the maid hurriedly ran over and said to his side, "Um, sir, actually, the young lady left you the car keys. You can drive whichever car you like."

As she spoke, the maid held up a large handful of car keys in her hands and presented them to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye stopped and glanced at the keys. He noticed that almost all of them were for luxury cars, the cheapest of which was a Japanese-made GTR.

Shen Ye didn't stand on ceremony, since Kagura Chizuru hadn't been polite to him either, so he directly chose the GTR. He had been brainwashed when he watched Initial D and always wanted to try it out, but he didn't usually need it at home. Now the opportunity had finally come.

Shen Ye was already a very good driver, and after obtaining the system, his control over all vehicles reached a top level. After skillfully starting the vehicle, he began to wander around Tokyo.

However, Tokyo, home to nearly one-fifth of Japan's population, is one of the most crowded cities in the world, so Shen Ye had no chance to fully utilize the sports car's performance. Therefore, he decided to take a stroll around the city's outskirts.

Sure enough, after the deceleration point, the road conditions improved significantly, and Shen Ye was able to utilize the sports car's performance to some extent...

It was noon when Shen Ye parked his car in front of a restaurant he had randomly chosen. He didn't go back to the shrine for lunch, and he had already told the maids at the shrine before he left.

After Shen Ye entered the restaurant, he was greeted by an elderly woman who warmly asked, "Welcome, sir. What would you like to eat?"

Shen Ye glanced at the menu, ordered a few dishes that interested him, and then casually found a seat.

Soon after, the dishes were served one by one. Since they were common dishes, the portions were generous and the taste was decent, so Shen Ye was very satisfied with his meal.

However, just as he was eating his meal, the conversation of a few people at the next table caught his attention.

"Have you heard? That Shiranui Dojo has started recruiting again."

"Shiranui Dojo is recruiting... I remember the dojo's master, Shiranui Hanzo, passed away a month ago, didn't he?"

"I heard that the curator's granddaughter, Mai Shiranui, has taken over."

"Mai Shiranui, oh, it's her. I remember her as an exceptionally beautiful girl. But does she really have the ability to run the dojo? When her grandfather was alive, the Shiranui Dojo had already begun to decline, often failing to recruit even one student a year. I also heard that her parents were beaten to death in a competition."

"That's terrible. No wonder it's declined. But it should be able to recruit people. I saw that girl named Mai Shiranui last time. Tsk, she's really pretty."

"What's the use of being pretty? Strength is what matters. If she really has the strength, she should participate in that tournament and win the title of the strongest fighter."

"It's the KOF tournament!"

"Yes, yes, the KOF tournament, I heard the winning team gets a ton of prize money..."

Hearing their conversation, Shen Ye was slightly taken aback. The Shiranui Dojo was actually nearby, and it had already declined, unable to even recruit students.

This is another storyline not found in the game... But why does it feel a little familiar?

Thinking of this, Shen Ye quickly emptied his bowl, tossed in a few banknotes, and left the restaurant. He was already eager to see the real-world workaholic Mai Shiranui!

……

(Also, haven't you guessed who that mysterious woman is yet?)

Chapter 589! Mai Shiranui

(Nyotengu)

(Kagura Sisters)

(Mai Shiranui)

……

Since the Shiranui Dojo was nearby and people had mentioned it, it was easy to find. Shen Ye then asked a few people on the roadside and found the location of the Shiranui Dojo.

Shen Ye got off the bus near the Shiranui Dojo and slowly walked to the dilapidated entrance of the dojo. Because it was in the suburbs, few people passed by, but even if someone did, they would only glance at the dilapidated dojo, unlike Shen Ye, who stopped at the entrance of the dojo to examine it carefully.

Perhaps due to a lack of funds for maintenance, the dojo's main gate and the plaque bearing the large characters "Shiranui-ryu" were both dilapidated, but they seemed to have been carefully wiped clean, with not a speck of dust on them.

As for who did it, it's obvious without even guessing.

After looking around, Shen Ye stepped forward and gently knocked on the rotten wooden door. He didn't dare to knock too hard, for fear of damaging the door.

However, after knocking on the door a few times, no one answered.

"Is he not home?"

Shen Ye wondered, then tried pushing the door and was surprised to find that it wasn't locked.

He then gently pushed the door open, and the rotten wooden door immediately emitted an unpleasant creaking sound!

However, the moment the door opened, Shen Ye discovered that in the huge dojo, there was only one girl dressed in a red and white kimono sitting on the steps of the martial arts hall.

Without a doubt, the kimono-clad girl in front of you is Mai Shiranui!

The girl didn't notice his presence. She was curled up on the steps, her head buried in her knees, her hair tied up with a white cloth strip, swaying gently in the breeze.

Suddenly, a few leaves fell from the trees in the dojo, drifting gently past the girl on the breeze...

At this moment, the lonely girl, the empty and desolate dojo with no outsiders, and the leaves occasionally rustling in the breeze, made Shen Ye feel a little sad.

Then, he cursed inwardly, "Andy, you're such a jerk! How could you abandon such a wonderful girl..."

He then sighed and knocked on the door he had pushed open, trying to get the girl's attention.

But this time she may have used a little too much force. The sound successfully startled the lonely figure from her desolate mood, but it also caused the rotten wooden door to fall off the frame and crash to the ground with a bang, shattering into several pieces, adding a touch of desolation to the already dilapidated dojo.

The commotion made the girl look up, her delicate face filled with sorrow. She glanced at the door, which was shattered into several pieces, her rosy lips twitched a few times, but she didn't say anything in the end. However, when her attention was focused on Shen Ye, the girl's eyes immediately brightened.

"Are you... here to learn martial arts?"

Her voice was timid and weak, yet full of anticipation.

Although Shen Ye wanted to say that he wasn't there to learn martial arts, but just to take a look, and that her ancient martial arts weren't suitable for him, he couldn't help but nod when he saw the girl's expectant eyes.

"Yes!"

Two simple words, a simple action, yet they made the girl jump up in surprise and run towards Shen Ye with small steps. When she was still three steps away from Shen Ye, she stopped, clasped her hands to her chest, and asked again with hopeful anticipation, "Are you here to learn martial arts?"

“Yes! I’m here to learn martial arts!” Shen Ye emphasized his words and nodded vigorously.

"Yay! That's great, Grandpa, I finally got a student!" The girl jumped up as soon as she realized she hadn't misheard. At that moment, the word "naive" was perfectly embodied in her.

Seeing the overjoyed Mai Shiranui, Shen Ye smiled, but quickly turned his face away.

Underneath her kimono, the girl was wearing her slightly revealing Shiranui ninja battle outfit, and as she hopped around, her two large breasts bounced along with her…

The girl jumped around happily for a while before remembering that Shen Ye was still standing at the door. She quickly stopped and stood up straight. First, she brushed the strands of hair that had fallen in front of her eyes behind her ears, and then she took a few deep breaths to calm her heaving chest. But the excitement on her face had not yet faded, which made her delicate face blush with an unusual flush!

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure! After all, you are the first student I've had since I took over the dojo." The girl then put her hands together in front of her lower abdomen and bowed slightly to Shen Ye, but after saying this, she realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly covered her mouth.

How could I say such a thing? If he thinks that our Shiranui-ryu ancient martial arts are so bad that we can't attract students, he'll definitely run away!

So the girl said weakly, "Well, actually our Shiranui-ryu's ancient martial arts are very powerful... hey hey hey, they're really powerful. Um, please come with me first, I'll get you a cup of tea, and then we can discuss the fees and such, how does that sound?"

After saying that, the girl looked at Shen Ye with a pitiful expression.

Shen Ye glanced at the girl who didn't seem like a qualified curator at all, sighed slightly, and then nodded, saying, "Okay!"

However, no sooner had he said "okay" than the girl eagerly grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the martial arts hall inside the dojo...

Inside the martial arts hall, the girl brought over a small table and two cushions. After Shen Ye sat down cross-legged, she knelt down.

"Hello, my name is Mai Shiranui. I am the successor of the Shiranui-ryu ancient martial arts and the Bone-Piercing Fist, as well as the head of the Shiranui Dojo and your future teacher." The girl first bowed to Shen Ye and then began to introduce herself.

“Shen Ye, from Country Z.” Shen Ye’s answer was simple.

"A person from Country Z..." Mai Shiranui paused for a moment, her expression turning aggrieved: "So, do you want to become their apprentice or not?"

"A Z country person, huh? Maybe he'll go back to his own country in the future?" Mai Shiranui thought to herself, feeling depressed.

"Of course I want to become an apprentice! That's exactly why I came here," Shen Ye said insincerely.

But in fact, after seeing the girl's lonely figure, his thoughts changed. Perhaps becoming her apprentice wouldn't be bad. Of course, it would be even better if this cheap master only had him as his disciple!

Upon hearing this, Mai Shiranui breathed a sigh of relief, patting her bulging chest and exclaiming with relief, "That's good, that's good!"

"So, what is the procedure for becoming an apprentice? And how much is the tuition?" Shen Ye looked at it appreciatively for a few moments before asking.

"The process... the tuition..." Mai Shiranui hesitated. The apprenticeship process was easy to explain, and could even be skipped entirely, but the tuition...

She glanced at the dilapidated martial arts school, then at the broken door, hesitated for a moment, and then held up one finger.

"How about 100,000 RMB per semester?"

Upon hearing the number, Shen Ye was stunned. Was it really that cheap?

But seeing that Shen Ye didn't react, Mai Shiranui thought she was asking for too much. She gritted her teeth and turned one finger into five fingers.

"Then five..."

Before he could even finish saying the word "ten thousand" after "five," Shen Ye pulled out three thick stacks of banknotes from behind him, all in denominations of ten thousand.

"Since it's an apprenticeship ceremony, there must be some gifts. Here's one million, which is my tuition fee. Hmm, I just damaged the door, so I'll compensate you with another one million. Also, it seems your dojo needs some renovations, so I'll add another one million here, making a total of three million. What do you think, teacher? Is it reasonable?"

That's reasonable, of course it's reasonable. Even if you wanted to become the deputy curator, that would be reasonable too.

At this moment, Mai Shiranui was overwhelmed with happiness; she felt as if she had struck gold!
