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

As Sophia found her way out, Irving completed the first batch of shelter relocations.

Irving successfully moved his shelter to the island, and naturally, Anna and Benjamin followed him there.

When they arrived on the island, both Anna and Benjamin displayed looks of astonishment.

Irving had only mentioned the island to the two of them in passing, but neither of them had ever been there before, so they were not very clear about what to expect.

Anna and Benjamin had assumed that the island Irving referred to was merely a small area.

They did not anticipate that the island would be so spacious.

Moreover, the overall environment of the island was much better than what Anna and Benjamin had imagined.

"The location you've chosen is truly impeccable! Did you always intend to call this area 'the island'?" Anna asked Irving with satisfaction after taking a good look at the island's surroundings.

Irving did not feel that 'the island' was an inappropriate name, so he responded frankly.

"I think 'the island' is a fine name, but if you have other ideas, feel free to share them. If everyone thinks the new name you come up with is better, I can certainly rename this place."

Irving was not particularly concerned about what the area was called. If his companions believed it would be best to choose a new name, he would be open to that.

Anna did not respond immediately; instead, she turned her gaze toward Benjamin.

After a moment of contemplation, Anna slowly said, "How about we call this place 'Utopia'? It looks incredibly enchanting, and after the apocalypse, we will use this place as our base.

The name 'Utopia' carries a very positive connotation. With this as our base, we will surely be able to successfully tackle all the crises we face."

Anna wanted to rename the island to Utopia.

However, Benjamin, who had remained silent until now, expressed his dissent.

"I don't think 'Utopia' is very suitable. After all, our upcoming situation is likely to become quite dire. We came here to escape the disasters brought on by the apocalypse. So, I believe calling this place 'Ark' would be more appropriate."

Benjamin proposed changing the island's name to Ark.

Anna was not upset by Benjamin's disagreement; in fact, she thought 'Ark' was a more fitting name.

With a smile on her face, Anna said, "I think 'Ark' is indeed a nice name. If we could add the word 'Hope' in front of it, that would be even better."

As soon as Anna finished speaking, Irving made a decision.

"Then it's settled. We will call this area 'Hope Ark.' Now, let's head to the area where James's shelter is located. The next batch to be relocated will be James and his subordinates' shelters."

After Irving finished speaking, he immediately left Hope Ark.

Anna and Benjamin naturally followed closely behind him.

Even though they had not encountered any dangers during the recent shelter relocation, they should not let their guard down.

It was possible that the Night Blades were waiting for them to relax, ready to strike when they were caught off guard.

The second batch of shelter relocations went very smoothly.

Throughout the process, James had been extremely tense. It wasn't until they arrived at Hope Ark that he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Hope Ark for the first time, James had an expression almost identical to that of Anna and Benjamin in similar circumstances.

"You actually found such a perfect location! This area is surrounded by two natural barriers. Plus, there are a lot of monsters in the vicinity. Under normal circumstances, no one would want to come here to explore." James remarked with amazement.

Irving smiled and nodded.

"After all, Hope Ark will be our stronghold for a long time to come."

"Hope Ark, huh? I think that name is quite fitting! After the apocalypse, many people will surely lose hope. Let's start from Hope Ark and bring new hope to all of humanity."

James felt much better than before.

He had only just returned to the Green Ivy Company and still had not managed to handle everything there.

Relocating the shelter had taken up too much of James's energy, leaving him on high alert.

However, upon arriving at Hope Ark, he finally felt a sense of relief.

He no longer had to worry that the apocalypse would directly destroy his and his subordinates' shelters.

After that, Irving and the others spent nearly two days relocating the remaining shelters to Hope Ark.

The entire process went very smoothly.

When everyone arrived at Hope Ark, they were all stunned by the scenery.

Everyone praised Irving for selecting such a wonderful new location.

Irving smiled as he accepted their compliments, though he felt it was no big deal.

After all, as the strongest among them, he believed it was only right for him to bear the heaviest responsibilities.

"Although your shelters have all been moved to Hope Ark, you still need to take time to reorganize your shelters. This will take about two or three days. Please prioritize this important task.

I have a feeling that the apocalypse is very close. Even if it doesn't directly arrive in the next few days, we still have many other things to take care of."

Irving urged his companions to quickly set up their shelters again.

After all, the shelters had been relocated to a different area, and adjustments were necessary.

Under Irving's encouragement, everyone began to tweak the details of their shelters.

Irving stood alone at the entrance of Hope Ark, watching the busy crowd inside. He murmured to himself, "I hope we can move quickly enough, and that everything is still on time."

Although the relocation of the shelters had gone very smoothly, Irving felt that he might not be able to complete all three of his plans before the apocalypse arrived.

While Irving's companions cheerfully adjusted the details of their shelters, Sophia's figure slowly emerged on the other side of the Abyss of Death ruins.

As Sophia appeared, a pink glow filled the surrounding space.

The monsters that had been aimlessly wandering nearby were drawn to the pink light, and they quickly approached Sophia.

However, as they drew closer, these monsters were also eroded by the power of the Blood Moon.

By the time the monsters were just a few steps away from Sophia, they had all been transformed into wolf-like creatures by the Blood Moon's influence.

Sophia glanced disdainfully at the monsters, not feeling threatened by them at all.

She believed that what she needed to do now was to quickly figure out where she was.

Although Sophia had spent a long time in the Abyss of Death, the area had undergone significant changes due to several large-scale battles.

These battles had drastically altered the terrain of the Abyss of Death.

In the final battle, the Abyss of Death had even collapsed entirely.

Now, what remained was merely a ruin, and the landscape within this ruin was even harder to recognize.

After a considerable amount of time, Sophia finally determined her location.

"I can't believe I'm back in the ruins of the Abyss of Death! Does this place hold any significance for me? Why did I end up here after escaping?"

Sophia's mind was filled with questions.

However, it was clear that no one could answer the thoughts swirling in her head.

Ultimately, Sophia decided not to linger and ponder aimlessly any longer.

She planned to find a safe place to hide for the time being.

Whether it was the impending apocalypse, the strange middle-aged man she encountered deep within the shelter game, or Irving, who had always posed a significant threat to her, Sophia had many crises to face.

If Sophia couldn't adjust her state in time, she would likely be destroyed along with the power of the Blood Moon.

Although Sophia had, to some extent, gained control over the Blood Moon's power, her mind was still heavily influenced by it. However, she also had her own selfish desires.

Sophia did not want to lose her life directly.

Transforming into a pink light, she quickly flew toward another direction within the shelter game world.

Her arrival triggered fluctuations in the Blood Moon's power, and her departure naturally caused similar ripples.

Although the fluctuations were not significant, they still caught Irving's attention.

At the entrance of Hope Ark, Irving furrowed his brow and carefully sensed the changes in the surrounding power.

"I can sense the Blood Moon's power again. Could it be that Sophia is nearby?"

Irving felt a twinge of uncertainty.

To ease his mind, he decided to leave Hope Ark and thoroughly investigate the surrounding area.

"You all focus on adjusting your shelters for now. I have some other matters to attend to. Our second phase of the plan will start tomorrow morning, so you should be able to complete your adjustments by then, right?"

Irving asked the group in a gentle tone.

His companions responded with firm affirmations.

A whole day was more than enough time for adjusting the shelters.

No one sensed anything unusual in Irving's tone.

After smiling and nodding, Irving left Hope Ark.

He quickly arrived at the place where Sophia had just been.

Irving saw the corpses of the monsters that had been eroded by the Blood Moon's power.

"It seems that Sophia was indeed here just now! But she must not have sensed my presence, nor did she discover Hope Ark. After all, the magical formations protecting Hope Ark's perimeter didn't trigger," Irving quickly concluded.

After confirming that Sophia hadn't found Hope Ark, Irving let out a temporary sigh of relief.

He had no intention of pursuing Sophia, as she would ultimately waste his precious time. Irving decided to wait until the apocalypse arrived before figuring out how to counter Sophia.
