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

After making a decision, Irving and his companions quickly sprang into action.

Irving's companions headed off to the Shelter Game world, eager to confirm the condition around their own shelters as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Irving went directly to the area where he had chosen the new shelter to be located.

Irving did not intend to relocate the shelter to the Lava Mountains. After experiencing an attack from a horde of monsters, he realized that the Lava Mountains were not a very safe place. He planned to move his own shelter and those of his companions to a more concealed location. Before telling his companions about his plan, he had already selected the site. The location he chose was the edge of the Abyss of Death ruins, an island completely surrounded by various violent forces.

Surrounding this island, in addition to the chaotic forces, was a body of water that continuously emitted the power of the Abyss. This entire body of water blocked all ordinary pathways leading to the island. Only through special spells could one gain entry to the island.

Irving had already devised this special spell. He planned to inform his companions of the incantation. When his companions recited the spell, he would receive corresponding prompts, allowing him to determine whether they could enter the island.

To ensure the success of his plan, Irving took a moment to check the situation around the island once more. To outsiders, the area appeared as a bottomless lake emanating a terrifying power, with a wall made of various chaotic forces at the end of the lake. Only someone as powerful as Irving could see the habitable area behind this wall of chaotic forces.

"The power of the Abyss in the lake has become even stronger than before. It seems that it won't be long before an Abyssal Monster is born in the lake," Irving remarked to himself.

The power of the Abyss surrounding the lake was overwhelmingly strong, enough to deter enemies that weren't particularly powerful. However, if faced with formidable foes like Shadow Celestial or Sophia, they would not be easily scared off by monsters.

"Even if ordinary people can't find this place, my few troublesome enemies might still come here. Perhaps I should set up a few more obstacles around the lake," Irving thought for a moment before casually placing several traps around the perimeter of the lake.

The power of these traps was not very strong; Irving set them up merely to confuse any potential intruders. When outsiders stepped into these traps, they would not face any physical attacks. Instead, they would become ensnared in illusions. Within these illusions, they would completely lose their sense of direction, and during their aimless wandering, the residual power within the traps would guide them away from the island.

After completing the final arrangements, Irving recited the incantation he had devised. Upon finishing the spell, an image of himself appeared in his mind.

"There's nothing wrong with the spell setup. However, just to be safe, it's best if I have a companion recite the incantation," Irving mused. He then opened the channel leading to the island.

The moment the passage opened, a glimmer appeared within the barrier formed by various chaotic forces. Following that, Irving stepped through this glimmer and entered the island.

The environment of the island was drastically different from the outside world. Outside, there were uncontrolled forces and terrifying, extremely dangerous monsters. In contrast, the sky above the island was always graced by a gentle sun.

The entire island was illuminated by this warm sunlight, and a variety of plants grew throughout most of the island. Some of these plants provided spiritual materials, while others served as food sources. Scattered throughout the expansive farmland were numerous buildings.

These buildings were reserved for Irving's companions. He hoped that his companions could relocate their shelters into these structures. By doing so, not only would they ensure the safety of their shelters, but they could also directly seek refuge on the island when the apocalypse arrived.

"My arrangements should be flawless now. Next, it's just a matter of when my companions can return with accurate information. They must ensure that their shelters are free of any dangers before I can assist them in relocating," Irving thought.

There were numerous shelters that needed to be relocated. However, Irving had at least one good piece of news: his shelter was situated alongside those of a few others. He could relocate his shelter along with those of Wendy, Vicky, and Benjamin all at once.

Relocating the shelters of others would not be as convenient. After moving his own shelter, he would have to help each of his companions relocate their shelters one by one. This would take a considerable amount of time, but Irving believed it was a necessary task.

While Irving was inspecting the island, James and the others were also checking their own shelters. James's shelter was situated alongside those of other members of the Green Ivy Company.

Due to the large number of shelters clustered together, the area around the shelters attracted some monsters. Although these monsters were not particularly powerful, they were extremely perceptive. If an attack was launched against them recklessly, they would quickly react and hide.

"Damn it! Why are there so many monsters around our shelter? And the moment they see me, they all hide!" James shouted angrily at his subordinates.

None of the members of the Green Ivy Company dared to answer James's question. They understood that James did not really need their answers; he was just venting his frustration.

After venting for a while, James finally calmed down. "Everyone gather together! I expect you to eliminate all the monsters surrounding the shelter within half an hour!" James said with a cold tone.

When the others heard James's command, their faces displayed shock. One of James's loyal subordinates incredulously asked, "This task is nearly impossible to accomplish. Although the monsters around our shelter are not very strong, they can hide. We won't be able to find all the hidden monsters within half an hour. Even if we do find them, it will take a long time."

James shot a cold glance at his loyal subordinate. "I don't want to repeat my command! If you think you cannot carry out my order, then be prepared to face the consequences!"

As the last syllable of his words faded, James transformed into a puff of purple smoke and vanished.

James's subordinates looked at each other in confusion. They all wore expressions of distress. After a silence of several seconds, the one who had dared to voice his thoughts earlier resignedly said, "We have no other options. Since you have issued the command, we can only do our best to accomplish it. Even if we ultimately fail to fulfill your order, I believe you won't hold it too much against us, as long as we give our all."

With his encouragement, James's subordinates began to quickly search for the monsters around the shelter.

Two hundred kilometers away from James's shelter, Anna and Nick were inspecting the shelter belonging to the Angel Guild. As an official organization, the Angel Guild had been quite powerful before Aron fell under the control of Shadow Celestial. Therefore, the members of the Angel Guild had their shelter located in a very concealed area.

This hidden location was deep within the Lava Mountains, surrounded by volcanoes that constantly erupted with fierce flames. Normally, no one would venture here; if it weren't for the impending apocalypse, the members of the Angel Guild wouldn't need to relocate their shelter at all. However, as the apocalypse approached, the area where their shelter was located became extremely dangerous.

Nick glanced around the environment and had to admit that Irving's assessment was indeed correct. "The geological conditions around our shelter are terrible. Once the apocalypse arrives, all the volcanoes will erupt, and there's no way our shelter will survive. We have to relocate it to another place."

Anna, standing next to Nick, silently nodded in agreement. She certainly recognized Irving's judgment. However, she had an emotional attachment to this area and did not want to move the shelter. But regardless of Anna's feelings, since Irving had already made a decision, everyone had to act according to his plan.

Anna and Nick quickly cleared all the monsters surrounding the Angel Guild's shelter. There weren't many monsters in the vicinity, after all. The harsh environment made it unlikely for any creatures to choose to settle deep within the Lava Mountains.

In addition to the actions of James and the members of the Angel Guild, Benjamin was also taking corresponding actions. Although Benjamin's shelter was located alongside Irving's, he had to ensure the safety of all the members of the Ocean Group as well. Therefore, during this shelter relocation plan, all members of the Ocean Group would participate.

Benjamin was helping his guild members clear the monsters around their shelter. Ultimately, Benjamin was able to act a bit faster than the others. Just one hour later, Irving received a message from his companions. They had cleared all the monsters around their shelters and were ready for relocation.

Upon receiving the news from his companions, Irving finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems the situation isn't as bad as I thought! The next step is to relocate the shelters! Of course, I'll start by moving my own shelter first."

Irving decided to begin the plan to relocate shelters, starting with his own. This was the safest approach! By completely controlling the relocation of his own shelter, he would be able to respond promptly to any unexpected situations that might arise.
