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

Without this house, Alice probably wouldn\'t even glance at him.

To her, Irving was just an average Joe, someone who could never cross paths with Mr.James.

"And what was that you were saying about a pregnancy test...? I don\'t understand But now I\'m pregnant, and the child inside me is yours." Alice continued in a lowered voice, threatening, "I know where you live. If you dare to run, my brother won\'t let you get away!"

Charles?

A flicker of coldness flashed in Irving\'s deep eyes.

If it weren\'t for the fact that he was busy with the game recently, he would have taught this pair of siblings a lesson a long time ago.

Now, less than four hours remained before the first catastrophe in the game... Irving really didn\'t have the time to deal with Alice. He walked straight towards the elevator.

"Security! Come quickly!"

Alice was enraged.

On one hand, she was confused about Irving\'s attitude. She didn\'t understand how the Irving who used to be like an ass-kisser to her seemed to have changed entirely. On the other hand, as the company\'s receptionist, it was her responsibility if a stranger made it upstairs.

Alice began to shout in the direction of the entrance.

Soon, several burly security guards came running in, again stopping Irving: "Sir, I\'m sorry. You can\'t go up without an appointment."

One of the guards stared coldly at Irving, issuing a final warning: "Please leave immediately, or we\'ll be forced to remove you!"

Seeing this, Alice felt a wave of satisfaction, crossing her arms and watching with cold eyes.

At that moment, the nearby elevator doors suddenly opened.

James rushed out as if there was some urgent matter, just in time to see the security guards about to forcefully remove Irving. His face instantly turned sour: "What are you doing?!"

"Mr.James...why are you here?" Alice was surprised.

She quickly walked over to James, sycophantically saying, "Mr.James, if you need anything in the future, just call the front desk. I can run errands for you, like fetching documents or delivering messages..."

She dreamt of making a good impression in front of James!

"Who told you to stop him?" James glared at Irving, questioning.

The guards seemed to sense something from his tone. They looked at Irving with complex expressions and quickly let go of him.

However, Alice didn\'t notice this at all.

More accurately, she refused to believe that a loser like Irving could have any connection with a high-profile figure like James.

"It was me!" Alice didn\'t want to miss this opportunity to shine. "Mr.James, this man insisted on going upstairs to see you and claimed to know you. How ridiculous! The Green Ivy Group isn\'t a place that any Tom, Dick or Harry can just waltz into."

While speaking, she even gave Irving a sideways glance.

"Just anybody?" James was taken aback. He knew better than anyone the strength of Irving. He glared fiercely at Alice and shouted, "Shut up! Listen to me carefully. I invited Mr. Irving! He is a distinguished guest of our Green Vine Group.

Apologize, apologize to Mr. Irving right now!"

Gasp.

At this moment, all the people present couldn\'t help but gasp.

The smile on Alice\'s face instantly froze, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Irving was full of disbelief: "How... how is this possible!"

Irving just smiled faintly. He didn\'t say a word from beginning to end, as if he was an outsider.

"Didn\'t you hear me asking you to apologize?" James said sternly.

"Sorry, sorry..." In the end, Alice had to compromise. She gritted her teeth and bowed deeply to Irving.

As for the security guards, they were informed by James that even without an appointment, Irving could freely enter and exit Green Vine Group in the future.

"And you." James\' gaze fell on Alice again,. In fact, he had noticed this enthusiastic receptionist a long time ago, but he just didn\'t look up to this kind of stuff. "This time it\'s fine. Dare to have next time, you can immediately go to HR to resign, and one more thing, know your place! You just need to do your job as a receptionist, as for helping me send documents and issue notices..."

"You are not qualified!"

Alice stood in place like a wooden chicken. Until James and Irving entered the elevator, she still hadn\'t recovered from the shock. A bitter feeling surged in her heart, and tears of grievance were about to fall: "Isn\'t he a loser? How could this happen... Did he hide it from me before?"

...

On the other side, in the office at the top of Green Vine Group.

"Mr. Irving, I\'m really sorry about just now." James said, his face showing a bit of apology.

Then, he gave the collected wood and stones to Irving: "These basic materials each have 7,000 pieces. If you need more in the future, just let me know."

Irving nodded, relying on James\' network of resources could indeed save him a lot of time.

After putting those basic materials into the bag, Irving asked James: "What is the surprise you mentioned?"

If it weren\'t for James insisting that he had a surprise for him, he wouldn\'t have bothered to come. And if he hadn\'t come, he wouldn\'t have encountered that bitch Alice.

"I believe you will be interested in this." As he spoke, James took out an item that looked like a scroll.

Irving\'s gaze fell on it, and a virtual interface appeared before his eyes.

[Item Information: "Swamp Trap" Blueprint]

[Item Introduction: Using this blueprint, you can set up a swamp area outside the shelter. Whether it\'s alien beasts or other players, once they enter this area they will be trapped and unable to escape, and it also has a poisoning attribute.]

"A trap?"

After reading the introduction, Irving was a bit surprised, but more excited.

He knew very well that the first wave of disaster was about to come, player shelters were being attacked by a large number of alien beasts. Such traps could play a large protective role.

"Thanks to your help at the park last time. My sister and I owe our lives to you. Please accept this blueprint of the trap as a token of my gratitude." said James, afraid that Irving would refuse.

This blueprint was a sincere offering!

Without any hesitation, Irving accepted the[blueprint of the Swamp Trap]and said slowly, "I don\'t like to owe people."

Having said that, Irving took out the equipment he had obtained from killing the Wind Demonic Wolves in the mine. There were twenty-five pieces in total. Vicky had chosen three, leaving twenty-two, which he placed in front of James.

The quality of this equipment ranged from ordinary to top-tier, with a minimum of one star and a maximum of five stars.

James was stunned.

Even though he was the general manager of the Green Ivy Group and had formed a guild, he had never seen so many pieces of equipment at once!

Even more astonishing was the fact that all of these pieces had come from a single person!

He paused for a moment before asking, "Mr. Irving, what do you mean by this?"

"Consider these as payment for your help gathering materials and for the trap blueprint." Irving said nonchalantly.

There were twenty-three pieces of equipment in total. Even if they were sold on the market, they would be worth millions of dollars!

However, to Irving, these pieces of equipment were like a white elephant. After leaving them, he rose to leave.

He wanted to return and continue upgrading his shelter before the first wave of disaster hit, preferably setting up the[blueprint of the Swamp Trap]as well.

"Wait..." James quickly stood up. "Mr. Irving, please wait. Actually, I have another matter to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Irving asked, puzzled.

"I would like to invite you to join our Green Ivy Guild." James said sincerely.

Ever since the Other world Game appeared, he realized that there would be a major reshuffling of power in the country. This could be both a blessing and a curse for the Green Ivy Group...

If the Green Ivy Group could seize this opportunity, they might become more prosperous. If not, they could fall from grace, even facing life-threatening danger.

If the incident at the park had sparked James\'s interest in Irving, the sight of twenty-plus pieces of equipment had solidified his resolution...

No matter the cost, he had to win Irving over!
