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

Inside an interrogation room.

Three men, bound tightly, were beaten until their skin split open, each hanging their heads like frostbitten eggplants.

"Any news yet? Should I go over with a team..." Aron suggested seriously. Just as he finished, Anna's phone rang. Upon seeing the number on the screen, her composed face quickly pressed the answer button.

It was Irving. Hearing his voice eased her worried mind.

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone?" Anna questioned.

Irving was somewhat helpless. It has only been a half day since he entered the Other world and discovered a mine, but his phone was blowing up with calls.

"What's so urgent?" Irving inquired.

"Those three attackers we captured from the park incident, we've interrogated them. They all work for an organization called 'Nightfall'." Anna explained, her face turning serious again. "This organization is formed by a foreign underground force. I'm sure they've already received news of their failed mission. Be careful, I'm worried they might target you..."

Foreign organization? Nightfall?

A chilling gleam flashed across Irving's eyes. Initially, he was just trying to defend himself. But if they dared to come for him, he wouldn't hold back. "Alright, I understand. I'll contact you if anything happens." Irving assured.

Anna still had her brows furrowed, as if she thought of something :"On another note, the swift wind demonic wolves you asked me to investigate, they're a powerful species of exotic beast that usually move in packs. They're hard to handle! A few members of our Angel Squad also encountered them and suffered heavy losses. You didn't run into any trouble, did you?"

what happened at the mine last night, Irving didn't feel the need to share at the moment.

As for the so-called "trouble", he only laughed.

If he were to reveal that the Wind Demon Wolves had been annihilated, with the Alpha Wolf even being killed, Anna would probably be shocked to the point of dropping her jaw.

With the first wave of disaster set to strike in five hours, the beasts in the Other world Game were becoming increasingly aggressive, leading to players being attacked... Seeing as Irving remained silent, Anna assumed he had run into trouble, but didn't want to admit it.

She continued, "As long as you are willing, you can join the Angel Squad at any time. Even dealing with the swift wind demonic wolves isn't completely impossible..."

However, before she could finish, Irving cut her off,"Alright, that's enough for now. I have other things to handle."

Upon hanging up the phone, Irving's gaze fell upon the unread text messages. His bank card had been frozen due to multiple large transfers, and he'd have to deal with that when he had time.

As for the swearword-filled text message from Charles about his sister Alice being pregnant... Irving chose to directly block him.

"Pregnant? Does she really think I'm as naive as I used to be?" A glimmer of anger flashed in Irving's eyes. However, he didn't have time to deal with this sibling pair right now.

After a night of intense mining, he had collected four[obsidian]gems in the mine, enough to start the initial upgrades and repairs on the[severely damaged staff]he had. Irving was somewhat optimistic, although he didn't know what changes would take place after the repair...

"First, I need to fetch those materials quickly, at least to reinforce the shelter. If I could set some traps, that would be even better." Irving thought, pulling out his phone again to make a call.

James's voice came through: "Hey bro, why are you calling back just now? I've prepared some of the materials you asked for, about seven thousand each of stone and wood. I got these through my contacts and friends."

Irving nodded in satisfaction.

After all, to withstand the first wave of disaster, players were frantically purchasing all kinds of basic materials and equipment. It was impressive that James could gather so much in just half a day.

"Furthermore, I have a surprise for you." James added cryptically. "You'll know what it is when you get here. I guarantee it will make you happy!"

...

The Green Ivy Group Building was located in the bustling central district.

It wasn't far from the residential area where Irving lived. After sprucing up a bit, he took a taxi there.

Ten minutes later, Irving was standing in front of the towering office building. He walked in, and the cool lobby was a welcome contrast to the hot weather outside. Luxurious natural marble floors and surrounding green plants caught his eye.

"Welcome to Green Ivy Group. Do you have an appointment, sir?" A receptionist dressed in a black silk uniform asked politely. For some reason, Irving found her voice remarkably familiar.

At that moment, the receptionist, Alice, noticed Irving. Her professional smile instantly disappeared. "It's you! What are you doing here?"

At first, she was taken aback. Then she became angry. "You jerk, why didn't you answer my calls last night? I'm pregnant, do you understand?"

Alice glanced around and lowered her voice when she saw no one was around.

She had wanted to break the news last night but couldn't reach him. In the morning, she still couldn't get through and feared that Irving had run away. She had no choice but to tell her brother Charles, asking him to find a solution...

However, she never expected Irving would suddenly show up here.

"You have to take responsibility if I'm pregnant. It has to be from that night... it's all your fault for not using a condom." Alice continued, "Why aren't you saying anything? As a grown man, dare to do but not admit?"

Irving looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help but laugh. "If you could add some tears, it would be more convincing. If you're not nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress this year, I'm not watching."

Alice was stunned. "What are you trying to say? You think I'm joking with you? Are you worth it? There are countless men chasing me outside. Just look at yourself."

She rolled her eyes, "If you don't believe it, I can send you a photo of the pregnancy test!"

"Is this your first time getting pregnant?" Irving looked at Alice's puzzled face and chuckled, "Pregnancy tests can only detect pregnancy after at least seven days. Could it be that the child you're carrying isn't mine, but some bastard's?"

Alice was left standing in place, stunned, unable to utter a word for a long time.

In his previous life, Irving was far too naive with no experience in these matters. Moreover, he was wholeheartedly in love with Alice and didn't think too much about anything else. But looking at it now, it was full of holes!

"Get out of my way." Irving said coldly. He would settle the score with this woman, but not right now. As he walked towards the elevator, Alice clung to him like a stubborn plaster: "Where are you going?"

"To meet someone." Irving replied.

"Weren't you here to see me?" Alice was even more puzzled. Then, it seemed as if she saw through something. "Stop pretending. Not just anyone can get into the Green Ivy Group! Nor can just anyone make your acquaintance! Who are you trying to see, tell me."

"James."

Upon hearing this name, Alice's smile vanished instantly.

She couldn't believe her ears. James, the young master of the Green Ivy Group, was the man she saw every day, the man she continued to receive a cold shoulder... She couldn't believe it!

" You? You know him? You must have been on drugs last night." Alice mocked.
