The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

The actions of the people in the Shelter Game world did not attract Irving's attention. After leaving the former headquarters of the Angel Guild, Irving immediately sent a message to all his partners. He summoned everyone to the Angel Guild's headquarters.

When Irving's companions received this message, they were slightly surprised. They believed that most of the crises they had faced had been alleviated, and they did not expect to encounter any major events in the near future. Therefore, everyone thought they had time to take care of their own matters.

However, upon receiving Irving's message, everyone realized that something significant must have happened again. As a result, they all rushed to the Angel Guild's headquarters as quickly as possible.

By the time Irving arrived at the Angel Guild headquarters, everyone except James had already gathered. At that moment, Vicky stepped forward a few paces and approached Irving. "What exactly is going on? Why did you rush to gather us all together? Is there another crisis?"

Vicky's expression was one of great anxiety as she spoke. She felt that she had not been able to help Irving at all, and if another crisis arose, she would surely blame herself.

Irving did not respond immediately; instead, he turned to Anna and asked, "Why hasn't James arrived? Where is he right now? Have you been in contact with him?"

Irving's questions clearly indicated that he intended to wait until everyone had arrived before sharing the information he wanted to convey. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

Anna quickly replied, "James should be here shortly. I spoke with him earlier; he was in Starling City today. The Green Ivy Company had some matters that required his attention. He is hurrying back as fast as he can. I think we won't have to wait long to see him."

As soon as Anna finished speaking, James appeared before everyone, looking worn out. Upon seeing Irving, he gasped, "What happened? Why did you gather us all in such a hurry?" After asking this, James took several deep breaths, clearly exhausted.

Seeing James, Irving nodded slowly. "Since all of you are here, let's head to the conference room quickly. What I'm about to discuss is very important for all of you. You need to be in the right mindset and remember every word I say."

After saying this, Irving led everyone into the conference room.

After everyone entered the conference room, the door closed heavily behind them. Irving took the extra step of using a sealing magical formation, ensuring that no one outside could hear the voices from within the room.

Once all the preparations were complete, Irving's expression turned serious as he spoke. "The reason I urgently gathered you all here is to share a very important piece of information. The apocalypse is about to arrive."

As soon as Irving's words left his mouth, everyone present displayed expressions of sheer shock. Nick, James, and Benjamin's reactions were not as exaggerated; they were merely slightly taken aback. However, Anna and Vicky were visibly astonished.

"You're not joking, are you?" Anna quickly pressed for clarification. In her mind, while the situation wasn't ideal, they were managing to hold on. Once Irving and the others regained their strength, they could head to the Night Blades' headquarters to challenge Shadow Celestial again. Even if they couldn't eliminate Shadow Celestial, they could take the opportunity to rescue Aron. As long as they got Aron back, the overall situation would be significantly favorable for them. Anna never imagined that the apocalypse was imminent. If it truly was, wouldn't they have no extra energy left to save Aron? They might not even be able to ensure their own safety.

The moment Anna finished her question, Irving responded immediately. "I am not joking! I am speaking to you very seriously!"

Irving's voice was resolute, and his meaning was crystal clear. His response only deepened the grim atmosphere among those present.

"You should remember the monster horde we encountered earlier, right?" Irving shifted his gaze to Nick. "The one who summoned those monsters and commanded them to attack my shelter is a servant of the Dark Overlord, known as the Apocalypse Proclaimer. His appearance signifies that the Dark Overlord is about to descend, and the arrival of the Dark Overlord will undoubtedly trigger the apocalypse! According to the information I found on the stone tablet, the apocalypse is expected to occur within the next month or two."

With that, Irving revealed the most crucial piece of information he had. The conference room fell into a haunting silence. No one spoke, and every face reflected shock and a sense of helplessness.

After a long pause, James slowly asked, "Since you already know that the apocalypse is imminent, you must have a strategy in place, right?" His question drew everyone's attention to Irving.

Irving could clearly feel the weight of their gazes, and he nodded slowly. "I do have some strategies! We cannot stop the apocalypse from coming, as the power of the Dark Overlord is beyond our imagination. What we can do is prepare ourselves as best as we can before it arrives. We must help as many people as possible survive the initial impact of the apocalypse."

Irving's reasoning was quite sound. He and his companions were good people; they could not solely focus on their own safety, but also had to consider the safety of ordinary people. Furthermore, the Angel Guild was an official organization, and it had a responsibility to support government institutions in various regions.

Anna and Nick quickly came to this realization. Anna suppressed her panic and swiftly asked Irving, "What should we do?"

"Our plan needs to be divided into three parts! The first part is that we must relocate our shelter to a safer location. The arrival of the apocalypse will not only impact the real world but will also severely affect the Shelter Game world. It's clear that our shelter will be in a very dangerous situation right at the moment the apocalypse strikes, so we need to move our shelters to more concealed areas."

"After completing the first part of the plan, the second part is to strengthen the defenses in this critical area within both the Shelter Game world and the real world. Although these areas are not as vital to us as the shelter itself, they can provide refuge for ordinary people. Only by ensuring the safety of these areas can we help enough ordinary people survive."

The first two parts of Irving's plan were indeed very reasonable, and everyone in the conference room agreed with him. However, when Irving announced the final part of his plan, the reactions among the group began to vary.

"The last part of my plan is that before the apocalypse arrives, we must rescue Aron!"

As soon as Irving said this, the reactions in the conference room were mixed. Anna and Nick were, of course, very pleased. After all, Aron was an important member of the Angel Guild, and if they could rescue him, the strength of the Angel Guild would undoubtedly be much greater than it was now.

However, James and Benjamin looked somewhat hesitant. Benjamin slowly directed his question at Irving. "Do you really think we have enough time to rescue Aron? Aron is captured by Shadow Celestial! Shadow Celestial is surely hiding in a concealed location. We don't have enough time to find Shadow Celestial and defeat him in battle! It would be better to focus all our energy on preparing for the apocalypse instead. Shadow Celestial wouldn't let Aron die when the apocalypse arrives. After all, Aron is Shadow Celestial's biggest bargaining chip; he would want to keep Aron around to continuously threaten us."

Benjamin's analysis was quite reasonable. James cast an appreciative glance at Benjamin. His thoughts aligned almost perfectly with Benjamin's. Vicky remained silent. Although Benjamin was her subordinate, Vicky wasn't necessarily inclined to fully support his viewpoint. Moreover, she was currently in a state of confusion and didn't even know what to say.

Faced with Benjamin's opposition, Irving sighed. "What you're saying is certainly very reasonable. Rescuing Aron before the apocalypse will present us with numerous challenges. But I want you to understand one thing: Aron is our comrade. It's essential to rescue our comrades. Do you want me to abandon him?"

Once Irving posed that rhetorical question, Benjamin found it difficult to continue arguing. After all, Benjamin was also one of Irving's companions. If Irving could abandon Aron, he could just as easily abandon Benjamin later on.

"I think we should first complete the first two parts of Irving's plan. If we have enough time after finishing those, then we can work on the third part of the plan," Vicky finally spoke up after a long moment of contemplation. It was clear that she was trying to find a compromise between the two sides.

Since Vicky had stepped in to persuade everyone, Benjamin naturally wouldn't insist on his original stance any longer. With Benjamin's agreement to Irving's plan, James's opposition lost its significance.

In the end, everyone agreed to Irving's plan, with the condition that the first two parts must be completed before they could proceed with the third part. After drafting a detailed action plan, they immediately set about taking the necessary actions. The first step was to relocate the shelter, but before the relocation, each person needed to take special precautions regarding their own shelter. They had to ensure that there were no powerful monsters around their shelters.
