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

At the entrance of the cave.

A fluffy puppy was looking curiously at the stranger that had suddenly appeared outside with its dark eyes.

Irving was speechless for a long time.

"My God!" he finally understood, "No wonder the Hell Hunting Dog was so desperate to return here. It has a cub inside!"

The Hell Hunting Dog, as a pet of the messenger of hell in the legends, is extremely rare and ferocious. They would rather die than surrender and are impossible to tame after they reach adulthood...

And its cub is even rarer!

Irving initially thought he was fortunate enough to have obtained two pieces of equipment by chance. He never expected to encounter a cub of the Hell Hunting Dog here!

"The name 'Lucky Little White Face' is really apt. My luck is about to explode!" Irving said with a smile. He then reached out to pick up the little creature from the cave, but the Hell Hunting Dog cub seemed to be repelled by his unfamiliar scent. It kept retreating and showed an attack posture with its milk teeth.

"This little guy…" Irving was speechless, but he didn't rush.

He turned to look at the corpse of the Ghost Hunting Dog behind him, a glint in his eyes. He then used the Soul Snatch skill of the Necromancer talent.

[Soul Snatch in progress...]

[Snatch failed!]

"What the hell?!" This was the first time Irving had failed. He originally planned to control the corpse of the Ghost Hunting Dog to lure the cub out of the cave.

However, he quickly figured it out.

Firstly, adult Ghost Hunting Dogs are extremely difficult to tame. Secondly, his mental power was too weak, which led to his failure.

"I can only try other methods…" Irving then went to the body of the forest leopard. Unfortunately, the body of the forest leopard was too severely burnt and it would be difficult to display much strength even after soul snatching.

After some thoughts, Irving was afraid to delay too long in case the Hell Hunting Dog cub in the cave ran away. He directly used the Night Peak Blade to cut open the body of the forest leopard and cut off a few pieces of fresh meat.

He then quickly returned to the cave.

Twenty minutes later.

Irving was holding the Hell Hunting Dog cub in his arms, stroking its fluffy little head and feeding it a piece of fresh meat: "Be good and come home with me. From then on, I'll be your master. Follow me and you'll have meat to eat every day!"

Woof!

The Hell Hunting Dog cub, with its dark, shiny eyes, seemed to understand something. It kept wagging its little tail and looked very happy.

"This little guy is so easy to deceive!" Irving thought to himself.

Cubs of such beasts do not have much self-awareness and can easily be won over with a little benefit.

When he returned to the shelter, he fed all the meat cut from the forest leopard to the Hell Hunting Dog cub, and then lightly touched its forehead.

"Stay here and wait for me to come back! I have some things to deal with." Irving said then logged out of the game.

...

When he returned to his room, Irving checked the time.

Before he knew it, it was already past one in the afternoon. After ordering some takeout and eating a few bites, he hurried out the door.

The offline exchange meeting organized by the official side was taking place in a park in the suburbs.

By now.

The park had gathered quite a number of players who had secured slots for the internal beta testing of the "Other World". Some were locals from the capital city, while others had come from all over.

After all, this was the first offline exchange event for the Otherworld Game.

After getting out of the taxi, Irving took a stroll around the park and found many people chatting about their experiences in the game.

"I spent the whole day yesterday figuring out the trick to killing Pigmen…"

"Tell us quickly! I'm so tired of getting killed by Pigmen. I'm starting to have a phobia of them."

"I got a piece of ordinary three-star equipment this morning! Haha, my luck is really amazing!"

"Damn it, I'm jealous!"

Upon hearing about the ordinary three-star equipment, exclamations of surprise were heard from the crowd.

For most players, even killing Pigmen was a difficult task, let alone getting equipment drops.

But upon hearing this, Irving showed a calm and composed smile.

No one knew that the young man in front of them had long figured out how to slaughter Pigmen mercilessly, and even had a way to kill the Butcher, the nemesis of the Pigmen.

And as for three-star ordinary equipment…

"What the hell are you smiling at?" The young man who was bragging about his equipment suddenly noticed Irving, his face changing significantly.

"What, I can't smile?" Irving said with a playful tone, "It's just a piece of ordinary equipment. Is there a need for such a fuss?"

"Ordinary equipment? But it's three-star!" The young man retorted proudly.

Many people turned their attention to Irving. Their eyes filled with contempt and they started to gossip.

"Just ignore him. He's probably just jealous because someone else got equipment."

"From the way he talks, it seems like he looks down on ordinary equipment. The game has only been in internal testing for three days, having a piece of equipment is already pretty impressive."

"Yeah, I don't even have one piece yet..."

"Dude!" At this moment, a few more people surrounded the young man, asking, "How much are you planning to sell that three-star ordinary equipment for? I want to buy it!"

"I want to buy it too!" Someone else chimed in.

Even someone on the spot offered a sky-high price of a million, hoping to make a purchase.

The young man's face grew more complacent as he stared at Irving and mocked, "If you don't have the capability, don't embarrass yourself here. See? People are scrambling to buy from me!"

Upon hearing such derisive words, Irving couldn't help but laugh.

Besides chatting amongst each other in the park, many people had set up makeshift stalls as well.

Irving thought of the two pieces of equipment he had just acquired. The Purple Flame Armor was a great fit for him and naturally couldn't be sold. But the Broken Shadow Peak Blade seemed somewhat redundant...

As a necromancer, his main method of attack was to control the spirits of other beasts. A dagger was a more suitable weapon for classes like warriors.

What he needed now was a piece of equipment that could enhance his spiritual power...

Thinking about this, Irving had no hesitation. He re-entered the game, choosing the item [Sharp Fangs*10] and then selected the [Broken Shadow Peak Blade].

The prompt sounded.

[Do you want to upgrade the Broken Shadow Peak Blade? ]

The upgrading of a weapon had a certain probability of failure.

And the higher the level of the weapon, the better chance of successfully upgrading with better materials.

Irving was not flustered at all. After all, he was a man with a tenfold luck rate. He firmly chose: "Yes!"

The next moment, a flash of golden light signified a successful upgrade!

[Item Information: Slightly Flawed Shadow Peak Blade]

[Grade: Advanced★★★]

[Introduction: An extremely sharp dagger that can easily pierce iron armor. There are slight defects on the surface, and it seems that it could still be upgraded... ]

Irving was somewhat surprised. Although he had long realized that the grade of this Shadow Peak Blade would be higher after upgrading and repair, he didn't expect it to be on par with the Purple Flame Armor. Furthermore there was still room for further upgrades.

Unfortunately, he couldn't use this weapon at all...

"Come take a look. Don't miss out!" Irving took out the Shadow Peak Blade and the replaced Pigskin Armor, and started shouting: "Pigskin Armor, a two-star ordinary defensive equipment, naturally restrain Pigmen. Wear this equipment and you won't have to be afraid of Pigmen anymore!"

There was a commotion on the spot!

"What? A two-star ordinary equipment!"

"Holy cow! It even has additional attributes, and it restrains Pigmen. I really need this equipment! My mom won't have to worry about me being chased by Pigmen anymore."

"How much? Don't compete with me! I want the equipment!"

More and more people gathered around. Even the buyers who wanted to buy the young man's equipment turned their attention to Irving.

The young man was somewhat embarrassed and quickly said, "It's just a two-star ordinary equipment, mine is..."

Before he finished speaking, Irving raised another dagger, radiating a dark green glow: "Advanced Equipment! Three Stars!"

The park suddenly went quiet.

Everyone seemed to have heard something incredible, and it took them a long time to recover...
