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

Before officially starting to relocate his shelter, Irving made sure to contact his companions. "I hope you can come quickly. I am sure I will encounter enemies during the process of relocating the shelter. While I can handle some powerful foes, I won't be able to keep an eye on those who are not as strong. You need to take care of the weaker enemies."

Irving did not view this operation as a solo effort, so he called his companions to join him. Just ten minutes later, his companions arrived by his side.

"Thank you all for getting here so quickly! I am about to relocate my shelter, and all of you need to be prepared for battle." Irving didn't give his companions much time to prepare. He believed that the sooner he moved the shelter, the lower the danger they would face.

Only a few minutes later, Irving began the process of relocating his shelter. During the relocation, his companions remained vigilant, observing the surroundings closely. James and Nick were beside Irving, responsible for monitoring the more rugged areas around his shelter. Anna and Benjamin followed Irving closely, as there was a significant possibility he could come under attack during the relocation.

Everyone felt a great deal of pressure. However, this operation went remarkably smoothly—more smoothly than Irving had anticipated. When Irving successfully moved his shelter to the isolated island, he couldn't help but say to Anna and Benjamin, "It seems I was indeed a bit too anxious. We didn't encounter any attacks while relocating the shelter. Our enemies must also be preparing for the apocalypse, just like us."

"Therefore, I've decided to speed up the relocation process. Since there is no enemy interference, we should finish moving the shelter as quickly as possible."

Irving's guess was indeed correct. Although Irving and his companions had many enemies, those enemies were also preparing for the impending apocalypse. Shadow Celestial was well aware that Irving was relocating his shelter, but they did not take immediate action. This was because Shadow Celestial was encountering some troubles of their own.

Shadow Celestial's shelter was actually located deep within the headquarters of the Night Blades. Under normal circumstances, this area would not face any attacks. However, just as Irving was relocating his shelter, monsters imbued with the power of the abyss suddenly appeared deep within the Night Blades headquarters. These abyssal monsters caused chaos at the headquarters.

The elders stationed at the Night Blades headquarters immediately entered a state of combat. Although they unleashed all their strength, the monsters imbued with the power of the abyss were not easy to defeat. Ultimately, Shadow Celestial had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. Utilizing his formidable chaos power, he directly obliterated the monsters born of the abyss. However, this also resulted in the deepest part of the Night Blades headquarters becoming tainted by abyssal energy.

Observing the creeping spread of abyssal power from the Night Blades headquarters, Shadow Celestial's voice turned cold. "We are not only facing the threat of the apocalypse; we are also confronted with hidden enemies lurking in the shadows."

At this point, Shadow Celestial paused, leaving the members of Night Blades around him confused. They had no idea what he was talking about. Finally, one person mustered the courage to ask, "My lord, what do you mean? Who are these hidden enemies we face? Is it Irving and his group?"

The one asking the question did not expect a clear answer, as Shadow Celestial had always been a very aloof individual. He was not inclined to share too many words with the other Night Blades members. However, this time, Shadow Celestial turned to face the questioner directly.

"The hidden enemies are not Irving; he is our overt enemy. I very much want to eliminate him, but now is not the right time for that. The hidden enemies I refer to are those deep within the abyss. I do not yet know the specifics of who they are, but I will soon uncover their identity."

After saying this, Shadow Celestial's tone softened slightly. "However, you do not need to concern yourselves with this matter! What you need to focus on now is preparing for the apocalypse! It is imminent, and before it arrives, you must fortify the Night Blades headquarters."

With that, Shadow Celestial turned and left. While he had provided some explanations, they revealed very little information. The members within Night Blades still had no idea what dangers lay ahead. Nevertheless, Shadow Celestial's confident demeanor alleviated their worries to some extent. After all, he was the most powerful among them, and if they truly faced a significant crisis, he would undoubtedly intervene. This was the collective mindset of all the Night Blades members.

However, Shadow Celestial did not share this perspective. When faced with a threat he could not handle, he would choose to abandon everyone. In his heart, only he mattered the most.

Although the Night Blades faced a series of unexpected events, they did not stop preparing for the apocalypse. After being attacked by enemies, the Night Blades actually accelerated their preparations. A multitude of defensive magical formations had been set up around the headquarters, and surrounding these magical formations were various labyrinthine defensive structures.

Shadow Celestial felt a significant lack of security. Even with so many defensive measures in place, he remained uneasy. He continued to urge the members of the Night Blades to set up even more defenses.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the shelter game world, Sophia stood in a dense thicket. Above her, a pink moonlight still enveloped her, a light that seemed never to fade. Around Sophia, there were numerous werewolves. These werewolves vigilantly observed their surroundings, remaining completely silent.

Although Sophia had closed her eyes, she continued to emanate the power of the blood moon. She was using this power to assess her environment. Not long ago, Sophia had encountered a powerful enemy. Despite the assistance of the blood moon's power, she had still suffered severe injuries.

Now, Sophia felt a twinge of regret. She believed she should not have delved so deeply into the shelter game world. If she, like others, had been preparing for the apocalypse, her current situation would likely be much better.

Just as Sophia was lost in thought, a gentle voice suddenly broke the silence nearby. "It's not too late to regret now. You can still prepare for the apocalypse. As long as I offer you my help, you will not face any threats from the coming disaster."

At the moment she heard these words, Sophia opened her eyes wide. The pink moonlight above her grew even brighter. All the power of the blood moon began to converge.

Sophia was actually ready for battle, her gaze fixed intently in the direction from which the voice had come. If any enemy appeared, she would harness the power of the blood moon to launch an immediate attack.

Under Sophia's gaze, a young man slowly emerged from the shadows. He wore a brown jacket and black pants, topped off with a comically large straw hat. A long scar ran across his face, stretching from just above his lip to his left temple.

"I am not your enemy, beautiful miss. In fact, I am here to save you," the man said with a gentle tone and a smile.

Sophia didn't respond much; she sensed no hostility from him. However, she was also wary of trusting this man.

"You may not believe me, but I will soon prove what I say. You are trapped here, and you need to leave immediately. I will help you find an escape route," he continued, pointing a finger behind Sophia.

She did not turn around right away, concerned that it might be a trap set by an enemy.

"Do you truly not trust me at all? I have been standing before you for several minutes. If I had intended to attack you, I would have done so by now," the man said, his tone remaining calm as he continued to persuade her.

Clearly, his attempts were not successful. His expression shifted, showing signs of impatience.

"Since that is the case, I suppose I must demonstrate my power," he said. He removed the comical straw hat from his head and threw it in Sophia's direction.

As the hat flew through the air, Sophia felt a powerful, unknown force emanating from it. This force was so strong that it seemed to split the space around her, and she sensed the pink moonlight above her rapidly fading.

Acting quickly, Sophia transformed all the werewolves around her into the power of the blood moon. In her view, this was the only way to ensure her safety.

As the hat drew closer, her anxiety mounted. She could clearly feel that once the hat reached her, her life would swiftly come to an end.

Sophia widened her eyes, staring at the incoming hat. Just as it was about to hover above her, it suddenly vanished.

The comical straw hat reappeared atop the man's head.

"You should have seen that, right? My power is far greater than yours. If I truly intended to attack you, you would have had no chance to resist. This should prove my goodwill," he said smoothly. "The escape route is right behind you. If you turn around, you will see it."

With his voice still gentle, Sophia finally turned around. Just as the man had said, behind her was a portal emitting a white glow. On the other side of this portal lay a city within the shelter game world.

Sophia was slightly taken aback; she couldn't understand why he would want to help her. However, just as she prepared to turn back and ask him for more details, the man had already vanished without a trace.
