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

After a night of intense fighting, with the support of Sophia's family, Irving successfully eliminated all visible enemies in Starling City.

"Finding those enemies who have gone into hiding will take a long time. We can't afford to focus on them for now. Our next priority must be on reconstruction."

Irving discussed with Sophia and Jony.

He shared his thoughts with the Green family, who naturally did not object, given the severe losses they had incurred during the crisis.

Jony also expressed his eagerness to start the rebuilding process.

Moreover, the Green family had made significant contributions in the battle, which would surely be rewarded by official organizations during the reconstruction phase.

"You're right. Those hidden enemies will have to wait for now. I'll communicate with the officials immediately. We will begin the reconstruction of Starling City right away." Jony agreed.

Following this confirmation, Irving, smiling, pulled out many weapons from his pocket.

These weapons were all acquired during the battle in Starling City. Most were advanced and standard weapons, with only a few being rare items.

Irving had already reviewed the properties of the rare weapons.

They were of no use to him personally, but handing these rare weapons over to the Green family would significantly enhance their power.

As allies, the strengthening of the Green family also meant an increase in Irving's own strength.

"I'll distribute these weapons to you. I noticed that some members of your family guild are still using ordinary weapons. Ordinary weapons can't be very effective in battle. It's better to equip all guild members with higher-tier weapons as soon as possible. This will enhance your family guild's strength and enable you to better support our upcoming actions."

Jony, looking at the weapons Irving offered, was at a loss for words.

He had entrusted his daughter to Irving, hoping merely to ensure her safety.

He never expecting to gain favors from Irving.

Jony spoke earnestly, "Although we provided some assistance during the battle, the help we gave does not merit such a generous supply of weapons."

Irving chuckled.

"If you don't want to accept these weapons, I could give them to another family guild. After all, these weapons are of no use to me."

Irving did not intend to forcibly persuade Jony to accept the weapon he was offering.

Because Irving knew that the head of the Green family would not easily accept others' charity.

Upon hearing Irving's offer, Jony's expression showed slight hesitation.

If Irving intended to give the weapons to others anyway, it would be more advantageous for Jony to accept them than for someone else.

Jony knew himself to be a loyal ally to Irving, believing that Irving's other allies were merely deceiving him.

"Father, I think you should stop declining! Given our relationship with Irving, do we really need to exchange such formalities?"

Sophia's words ultimately persuaded Jony.

He took the weapons from Irving's hands.

"I will distribute these weapons to my subordinates and ensure they familiarize themselves with them quickly. After that, if there is anything you need help with, just let me know."

Irving nodded with a smile.

"Get to know these weapons quickly. Although we've temporarily resolved the crisis brought by the Night Blades, I always feel that the Night Blades won't simply let things rest. They are likely plotting something bigger in the shadows."

After saying this, Irving prepared to return to the city of warding.

There were many more weapons to distribute there, and in the city of warding, Irving had many allies, making weapon distribution much more complex than in Starling City.

"Now that the crisis in Starling City has been resolved, I must attend to other matters. I suppose the next time we meet will be in the shelter game."

Irving said solemnly to Sophia.

Sophia nodded, then watched with her father as Irving departed.

When Irving returned to the city of warding, it was already the early hours of the next day.

The official organizations had regained control over the city of warding, and the ordinary citizens could finally stop living in fear.

Irving was not particularly concerned about the ordinary citizens.

Instead, he chose to gather all his allies together.

He intended to distribute the weapons acquired during the battle in the city of warding to these allies.

Once everyone had assembled, Irving spoke directly.

"We have acquired a large number of weapons in this battle. Although the majority of these weapons are high-tier and standard, there are also some rare weapons among them. The high-tier and standard weapons can be distributed directly to your subordinates. As for the rare weapons, I think we should have a serious discussion about them."

The reason Irving made this statement was because his allies no longer needed standard or high-tier weapons.

Anna and Aron, as the most powerful members of the Angel Guild, were already equipped with rare weapons.

Benjamin, backed by the Ocean Group, also lacked no standard or advanced weapons and was only interested in the distribution of rare weapons.

As for James, who had just arrived and whose Green Ivy Group did not match the strength of the Ocean Group or Angel Guild, he also had no shortage of high-tier and standard weapons.

"My proposal is that each of us should receive one rare weapon. I think we should allocate them based on the contributions made during the battle—the greater the contribution, the earlier the choice of weapon."

No one objected to the rule set by Irving.

As the person who made the greatest contribution, it was only natural that Irving should choose his weapon first. Irving casually picked a rare melee weapon suitable for his use.

"Next, Vicky and Benjamin should choose their weapons." he suggested.

Although the Angel Guild had suffered significant losses in the fight against the Night Blades, in Irving's view, Vicky and Benjamin had made substantial contributions.

Vicky casually chose a staff, while Benjamin, after careful consideration, eventually picked a pair of gauntlets.

Then it was Aron and Anna's turn to pick rare weapons.

Aron directly took the most powerful longsword among the rare weapons for frontline combat. Anna chose a support-type rare weapon.

James was the last to pick a weapon.

He casually selected one of the rare weapons. To James, any of these rare weapons were incredibly valuable and could significantly enhance his capabilities.

After distributing the rare weapons, Irving shifted the discussion to reconstruction.

"Now that order has been restored in the city of warding, the rebuilding process should begin immediately. Can the Angel Guild headquarters be successfully rebuilt? Are the official institutions willing to provide assistance to your Angel Guild?"

Irving directly turned his gaze to Aron and Anna.

Aron nodded, "You don't need to worry about that. The Angel Guild headquarters will definitely be rebuilt successfully. Even if the official institutions don't provide help, I can manage the reconstruction on my own."

Irving's expression showed a hint of hesitation.

He felt that Aron was too guarded towards him and wanted to convey that he and the Angel Guild were not enemies. As Irving pondered how to approach this, Vicky spoke directly to Aron.

"Now is not the time to merely show determination. If you truly encounter difficulties, we can help. We also want the Angel Guild headquarters to be rebuilt as quickly as possible. If you don't voice your challenges now and end up failing to rebuild the headquarters when it's urgently needed, the responsibility you'll bear will be even greater."

Vicky's words had an immediate impact.

Aron sighed and said.

"The official institutions are indeed willing to help us, but they can only provide building materials and reconstruction funds. The members of the Angel Guild who sacrificed themselves cannot be brought back. Without those members, even if the headquarters is rebuilt, the overall strength of the Angel Guild will significantly decline."

Aron finally voiced the issue he was most reluctant to mention.

Hearing this, Irving nodded.

"You don't need to worry too much because the shelter game is about to undergo a significant upgrade."

Irving revealed a piece of news that shocked everyone.

He hadn't planned to share this information, thinking that his allies might panic upon learning it. However, after careful consideration, he decided it was best to prepare them in advance.

"The difficulty of the shelter game will increase dramatically. However, if we can survive the initial period of increased difficulty, the rewards we can gain will also be greater. So, the Angel Guild doesn't need to worry about its members being weaker than before. The most important concern for the Angel Guild should be how to select the right members.

After the difficulty of the shelter game increases, the strength of those eligible to participate will rise significantly. At that time, there will undoubtedly be some ill-intentioned individuals attempting to join your Angel Guild." Irving continued.

Irving's words left Aron and Anna both pleased and slightly worried.

Their concern, however, wasn't about the increased difficulty of the shelter game. As official personnel specifically trained to handle the shelter game, they were not overly affected by its rising difficulty.

Their worry stemmed from the possibility of malevolent individuals infiltrating the Angel Guild.

Vicky, James, and Benjamin, on the other hand, had different concerns from Aron and Anna.

They were more focused on the increased difficulty of the shelter game. Unlike the Angel Guild, they didn't have as many resources, nor did they possess Irving's extraordinary talent.
