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

Although the space generated by the[Void Ring]was only 10*10*10, Irving managed to transfer all these items to the Other World in batches.

[Notification: All transferred materials are mechanical items without any lethal weapons and have been successfully transported to the Other World!]

[The total weight of the transferred items has reached the limit!]

[The Void Ring will enter a cooling period, during which no items can be transferred to the Other World. Cooling time: 15 days!]

"So, does that mean I can\'t transfer any more items for the next half a month?"

Irving couldn\'t help but shake his head. However, he was quite contented since he was able to transfer all the equipment to the Other World.

At least it could help deal with the upcoming second wave of disaster.

Actually, after transporting these equipments, he could let Aron drive the empty truck back. But Irving didn\'t want to reveal that he has the[Void Ring]just yet.

Despite his current status as the Chief Consultant of the official Angel Group, it\'s prudent to be wary of others, otherwise it might bring unnecessary trouble...

For now, only he and Vicky knew about the[Void Ring].

" With Irving having those pieces of equipment, we don\'t have to worry about sudden drops in temperature or surprise attacks from monsters... Fantastic!" Vicky said happily.

When she first heard about Irving\'s plan, she found it incredible. But now, she felt more anticipation than anything else.

Enslaving the beasts in the game to serve as free labor, powering the eight turbine generators and providing constant power to the shelter... Just this alone was astonishing!

Since the appearance of the Other World and as more spots opened up, more players entered the game. Most of them still couldn\'t even kill the lowest tier beasts. Even the first batch of beta testers who entered the game at the same time as Irving had to seek protection from guilds to survive.

However, the path Irving was taking was completely different from other players.

He was a powerful necromancer. Enslaving beasts for power generation was just the beginning...

"Don\'t get too excited. It\'s not as easy as you think to drive those turbines." Irving said solemnly.

Driving the turbines required a great deal of force. The low-level beastmen outside the shelter couldn\'t do it. Irving had to find other more powerful beasts, kill them, and perform[Soul Plunder].

Furthermore, using purely mechanical operation for power generation, the amount of power generated was also a problem.

At least eight turbine generators needed to operate at the same time to barely meet the power needs of the shelter.

In other words, Irving had to control eight powerful beasts simultaneously... This would also be a significant challenge for his mental strength.

Although his mental strength had been somewhat boosted after upgrading the[Severely Damaged Staff]last time, even with Vicky using the[Healing Art], he could only barely control over twenty low-level beasts...

To control higher-level beasts, the mental strength consumed would increase geometrically.

When Vicky heard this explanation, her expression became solemn and she couldn\'t help but quicken her pace to follow Irving back home.

Just as they were about to enter the game, Irving\'s phone suddenly rang.

"Irving, it\'s bad!" James\'s urgent voice came through the phone. After catching his breath, he continued, "Just now... A group of people suddenly barged in from the direction of the mine just now. They killed all the players we had sent there from the Green Ivy Group. A total of fifteen people died!"

In the game, once players were killed by other players, they couldn\'t be revived and would die in real life as well.

That meant - fifteen lives were gone.

For the Green Ivy Group, this was a massive loss!

"One of the survivors said there was a mage among them who could cast a freezing spell. Many of our brothers were turned into ice sculptures before they could even fight back." James said with a complex expression.

At this moment, he was filled with rage, he knew very well the power of a mage.

Even if he immediately took the rest of the group to seek revenge, it was uncertain whether they could retake the mine.They might even lose their lives.

"Freezing spell?" Irving\'s brow furrowed. The[Black Luminous Stone]in that mine was the only material that could upgrade his staff.

In the Other World, resources like mines were extremely scarce. At least at that time, within a five-kilometer radius centered around the shelter, there was no second mine located by the watchtower. Even if they could find another one, it might not contain the material he needed... In a nutshell, it was quite a hassle.

"You take the people first and get near the mine. I\'ll go there personally when the time comes." After saying this, Irving hung up the phone.

Upon entering the game, Irving first found a few pigmen in the forest. Killing these low-level beasts was like a piece of cake.

After performing[Soul Plunder]on them, he returned to the shelter. He first installed all the floodlights and heaters that had been transferred in the right places, then moved the eight turbine generators outside.

"I\'ll have to build a special place for power generation later." Irving thought to himself.

These generators were the core of the shelter\'s power generation. Because there was no place to store energy, if this area gets damaged, the power would be cut off immediately.

The four floodlights were installed in four directions around the shelter.

Once turned on, the area around the shelter would be illuminated as if it were daytime.

As for indoors, there was no need to waste electricity. Irving used some leftover wood and stone to build a fireplace. Just adding wood to the fire would provide both light and heat.

The remaining five heaters were temporarily placed in the corner and could be moved whenever needed.

Now, all he needed to do was wait for the eight wind turbines to kick into action and generate electricity, allowing these devices to operate.

After installing these, Irving let out a sigh of relief, only for his expression to darken immediately after.

Although the[Severely Damaged Staff]had been upgraded, granting him a new auxiliary skill called[Gravity Sludge]and boosting his mental strength, to get the eight wind turbines working, he first needed to control eight powerful beasts and still be able to fend off other threats...

The staff needed to be upgraded again in order to this.

Therefore, the mine must be reclaimed at all costs!

Vicky, who had been standing nearby, had heard the conversation on the phone clearly.

Now, anger clouded her face. After we had finally defeated the Swift Wind Demon Wolf pack and secured the mine, it was brazenly snatched away by someone else. Moreover, they killed fifteen players from the Green Ivy Group. No one could swallow this indignation!

"Irving..." Vicky was just about to say something.

"Alright, stay here. I\'ll take Little Black and go check out what\'s happening at the mine. I\'ll be back soon." Irving said, ready to head out.

He was somewhat worried. He hadn\'t expected to encounter players with the same mage awakening talent so soon. According to James, the player was so powerful that the Green Ivy Group members didn\'t even get a chance to fight back.

"Do you think I\'ll be a burden, Irving?" Vicky asked, biting her lip. Her eyes shimmered with determination.

A recent banquet had taught her a valuable lesson - to truly control her life, she needed to be strong. Whether in the real world or in the Other World, the weak could only live like ants.

Irving didn\'t respond. The strength of the group occupying the mine was unknown, and they were numerous. Even he himself might not be absolutely certain.

He wouldn\'t risk bringing Vicky along. The second round of disaster was imminent, and any mistakes now could completely disrupt their future plans.

"Let me go. I can help you," Vicky pleaded, holding up the[Holy Healing Staff], a rare piece of equipment Irving had given her.

"Irving, this staff not only enhances the effect of[Healing Art]by 30%, but also has a chance to trigger the Holy Light, which temporarily boosts the effect to 100%." Vicky explained.

Despite her plea, Irving shook his head. He had checked the[Holy Healing Staff]and was familiar with its properties.

"Those people won\'t be easy to handle. I\'ll go alone. If I can\'t reclaim the mine, at least I\'ll be able to retreat safely." He said, leaving the shelter without another word.

However, before he could get far, Vicky caught up with him again.

This time, Irving\'s face was completely dark.

"Look, Irving!" Vicky was clutching the[Holy Healing Staff]. She raised her hand, and a stream of dark green light emanated from the staff. After hovering in the air for a moment, it swiftly flew towards two Pigmen in the nearby forest.

The next moment, the unexpected happened... The two Pigmen started fighting each other as if they had gone mad.

"This... is my newly awakened talent,[Mental Chaos]!" Vicky announced.
