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

The strong individuals in the shelter game world were mostly aware that the apocalypse was approaching.

Although they did not intend to disclose this information, as the time for the apocalypse drew nearer, more and more people began to receive hints about it.

In the real world, certain well-informed individuals also learned about this news.

As a result, the feeling of panic began to spread quietly.

At first, only those familiar with the shelter game knew that the apocalypse was imminent.

However, just a few days later, the vast majority of people were already aware of the situation.

Official organizations in various countries faced immense pressure.

Although these organizations initially chose to conceal the truth, it was clear that their approach did not achieve the success they had hoped for.

On the morning when Irving was about to initiate the second phase of his plan, Anna brought some bad news.

"I'm very sorry, but the Angel Guild can no longer cooperate with your second phase plan," Anna said to Irving with a disappointed tone.

At that moment, Irving was working with his companions to outline the detailed steps for the second phase of the plan.

When Anna spoke, everyone turned their gaze toward her.

Each person's expression was different.

Irving's expression was relatively calm; he simply asked, "Why?"

Anna wore an apologetic look on her face and opened her mouth to explain. However, before she could say anything, the door to the conference room was suddenly slammed open.

Nick rushed into the room, visibly panicked.

All eyes were on Nick, but he didn't seem to notice. He quickly walked over to Anna's side, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words to her.

Anna's expression changed dramatically.

"I can't go into too much detail with you! The Angel Guild must cooperate with the official organizations to maintain order in the real world! Many ordinary people are aware that the apocalypse is about to arrive, and the order in the real world is on the brink of collapse."

After saying this, Anna hurriedly left with Nick.

What Nick had just told Anna was the latest order from the officials.

Due to significant issues with the order in the real world, the authorities hoped that the Angel Guild would focus on maintaining that order.

As Anna and Nick departed, the atmosphere in the conference room grew somewhat oppressive.

James couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"The officials are under immense pressure, and the Angel Guild must do something. In fact, there are also some issues within the Green Ivy Company. Ordinary employees at the Green Ivy Company are trying to obtain information related to the apocalypse through various means.

Although I've instructed the shelter game players within the Green Ivy Company not to disclose any information, some people have still leaked information privately.

It seems that the situation has exceeded our expectations. Before the apocalypse arrives, the collapse of order in the real world could lead to significant losses for humanity."

James spoke with a somewhat melancholic tone.

He felt that the situation was beyond their control.

Benjamin, sitting across from James, showed little change in his expression.

He was, of course, aware of these developments, but Benjamin didn't care much. In his mind, he only wanted to protect Ocean Group and the Smith family.

Next to Benjamin, Vicky appeared somewhat worried and asked, "So what should we do? Should we offer assistance to the Angel Guild? Or should we continue to follow Irving's plan?"

Vicky finally asked the crucial question.

As soon as she posed her question, everyone's gaze turned toward Irving.

Irving's expression remained largely unchanged.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly replied, "I believe both Vicky and James are correct. The collapse of order in the real world will lead to significant losses for humanity and will also greatly impact us.

Our second phase plan involves setting up defensive magical formations at key locations in the real world. This plan needs to be executed smoothly when the external situation is calm.

Therefore, I think we should offer some assistance to the Angel Guild."

As soon as Irving finished speaking, his companions were ready to take action.

However, after a brief pause, Irving continued, "While providing assistance to the Angel Guild, we must also proceed with my second phase plan. All of us are relatively strong. We can send a few people to assist the Angel Guild, while the rest can continue to act according to my previous plan."

Irving finally revealed his true thoughts.

Although he was willing to offer help to the Angel Guild, he believed that his own plan was equally important.

Therefore, he directly chose to have James lead his subordinates to assist the Angel Guild, while the others would continue to execute his second phase plan.

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

James quickly left with his subordinates, while Irving opted to go with Benjamin and Vicky to the headquarters of Ocean Group.

Ocean Group was an important area in the real world that Irving aimed to protect.

Not only did Ocean Group possess a vast array of resources, but its headquarters building was also a very sturdy fortress. After the apocalypse arrived, this stronghold could become one of the key bases for Irving and his companions.

When Irving arrived at Ocean Group, Benjamin pulled out the design blueprints for the headquarters.

"The design of the Ocean Group headquarters took into account the potential threats it might face. Therefore, the entire structure is extremely robust.

In previous battles, although the headquarters was attacked, it has never been completely destroyed by the enemy. Additionally, I have specifically set up some defensive magical formations around the headquarters.

While the defensive magical formations I created may not be as strong as the ones you set up, I believe they can still provide a certain level of protection."

Benjamin quickly introduced the defensive strategy for the Ocean Group headquarters building.

Irving listened attentively and nodded slowly.

He considered the design of the Ocean Group headquarters to be very reasonable, and he also praised Benjamin for the defensive magical formations he had set up around the building.

"Your design has no issues at all, and the defensive magical formations you've left behind have actually been a great help to me. With these magical formations in place, I won't have to expend too much effort.

I just need to set up three or four more defensive magical formations and connect all the ones you've set up together. Individual defensive magical formations can be easily destroyed, but when multiple formations are linked, they can share their inherent power.

This way, attempting to destroy the defensive magical formations will require a tremendous amount of strength."

Irving articulated his thoughts, and both Benjamin and Vicky naturally expressed their agreement.

Following that, everyone at Ocean Group began to assist Irving in implementing his ideas.

Irving spent most of the day finally completing the setup of all the defensive magical formations. The headquarters of Ocean Group was completely protected by these formations. Even if the apocalypse struck, the headquarters would not be directly destroyed.

"It seems our efforts have indeed yielded excellent results!" Irving said with a smile as he looked at the Ocean Group headquarters. He was very satisfied with his plan and felt confident that the headquarters was secure.

"Let's return to the Angel Guild headquarters; they should have finished their tasks by now," Irving casually remarked to Benjamin and Vicky.

Vicky nodded, but Benjamin hesitated slightly. "Do you really believe the defenses of the headquarters are perfect? I think you should set up more defensive magical formations around the building."

As the manager of the security department at Ocean Group, Benjamin was eager for the headquarters to be impenetrable. Although Irving's defensive magical formations were already quite strong, Benjamin still hoped for additional layers of protection.

Irving shook his head with a smile. "More defensive magical formations are not necessarily better. For these formations to work effectively, they need to absorb different attributes of power from the surrounding space. If the formations are too densely packed in one area, their combined power will diminish. The number of formations I've set up is already sufficient.

Moreover, we can't place all our hopes on the magical formations alone. After the apocalypse arrives, if you want to ensure the safety of the Ocean Group headquarters, you still need to focus your attention here."

Irving's reasoning was quite sound, and Benjamin was ultimately persuaded.

"You're right. After the apocalypse, I'll certainly keep my focus here. Let's head to the Angel Guild headquarters now. Shouldn't we add some defensive magical formations there as well?" Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

A slight smile appeared on Irving's face. "The Angel Guild headquarters is indeed a critical location, but I believe we should save the defensive planning for there for last. My main purpose in returning to the Angel Guild headquarters is to meet with James.

I want to go to the Green Ivy Company as well; we must set up defensive magical formations around their building. We can't afford to have the Green Ivy Company's power suffer too much loss when the apocalypse arrives."

Irving shared his true thoughts. Vicky and Benjamin then followed Irving back to the Angel Guild headquarters.

When they arrived at the Angel Guild headquarters again, the atmosphere surprised them slightly. Everyone inside seemed to be moving around in a hurry, and they appeared to have just received some very bad news.

Irving called over a passerby. "What's going on? Why do you all look so flustered?"

The person who was stopped by Irving looked somewhat panicked. After calming himself, he quickly replied, "The connection between the Angel Guild headquarters and its branches has been severed. No one knows what has happened to those branch offices!"
