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

Although Shadow Celestial and Elder Seville were arguing over the specific action plan for their upcoming operations, both were determined to take action in the near future. Regardless of the circumstances, their actions would pose some level of threat to Irving.

At the same time, in the real world, Irving's companions were each busy with their own tasks. Vicky, as the president of Ocean Group, was naturally in her office, handling various matters related to the company. After completing the majority of her work, Vicky decided to make herself a cup of coffee to take a break.

However, just as Vicky stood up from her seat, she suddenly felt a wave of anxiety. This anxiety seemed to indicate that she was about to face a very dangerous situation. Vicky had experienced similar feelings before; each time she felt this way, she encountered significant trouble shortly thereafter.

Immediately, Vicky sat back down. She took several deep breaths to calm herself. Once the feeling of anxiety subsided, Vicky picked up the phone in her office. "I need Benjamin to come to my office immediately. I have something very important to discuss with him."

Vicky chose to call Benjamin to her office first. A few minutes later, Benjamin arrived at Vicky's office. "President, what important matter do you need to discuss with me?" Although Benjamin's tone was calm, he was slightly puzzled. In his view, Vicky shouldn't have any pressing issues to discuss, especially since Irving was resting at home and everyone else was busy with their own matters. Ocean Group was not facing any threats.

"I just suddenly felt anxious! This means that I am about to encounter a great danger. I called you here to hear your thoughts on this," Vicky asked, appearing somewhat flustered.

Benjamin's expression became more serious. "Your anxiety has returned, which indicates that the danger warning has come up again. This is not a trivial matter; we must take it seriously.

I don't know of anything that could pose an immediate threat to you, so I suggest you inform Irving about this. He might have some insights."

Both Benjamin and Vicky had a high level of trust in Irving. After hearing Benjamin's words, Vicky immediately relayed this information to Irving.

When Irving received the news, he was also quite puzzled. "What is going on? How could Vicky be in danger again so soon? Is there something wrong with her sense of danger?" He didn't believe that Vicky would actually face danger in such a short time. Instead, he thought she might just be overthinking things.

Irving directly called Vicky. "I think you're just under too much pressure! You don't need to be overly anxious. No matter what unexpected situation arises, I will ensure your safety. Just focus on doing what you need to do."

Irving tried to comfort Vicky over the phone. Although she thanked him, Vicky still felt that her sense of danger was legitimate. "I know you can ensure our safety. But I hope you take this sense of danger seriously. My instincts are usually quite accurate. We may soon face another crisis."

Vicky persuaded Irving again during the call. This time, he didn't dismiss her concerns as lightly as before. "I understand! I will keep a close watch on any changes. If anything unusual happens, I will respond immediately and inform you."

Irving's response reassured Vicky somewhat. She decided not to dwell on the potential dangers any longer and resumed working on her documents. After hanging up the phone, Irving felt very strange. "Could my enemies have formed an alliance again? Elder Seville wouldn't collaborate with Shadow Celestial, would he? They haven't even met before."

Irving believed that Elder Seville and Shadow Celestial would not easily cooperate for several reasons.

The first reason was that the powers each of them wielded were entirely different. Elder Seville had the power of the Abyss, while Shadow Celestial possessed the powers of chaos. These two forces were not only different but also fundamentally conflicting.

The second reason was that Elder Seville must have a deep hatred for the Night Blades, which were under Shadow Celestial's control. Therefore, it was natural for Elder Seville to harbor animosity towards Shadow Celestial as well.

The final reason was that Irving thought Elder Seville could not easily leave the Abyss.

"Even though I think it's unlikely for them to cooperate, I must be prepared for the worst-case scenario! It seems I need to accelerate my recovery!" Ultimately, Irving decided to hasten the pace of restoring his powers.

After two days of rest, Irving had mostly restored the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl. If he wanted to accelerate his recovery, he would have to tap into the power of the Taikoo Flame Pearl once again. Although doing so would bring about some additional troubles for Irving, it was the best option available.

At the same time that Irving was focusing on regaining his strength, unexpected changes were occurring at the headquarters of the Angel Guild. The knowledge fairy, who had been residing in the innermost depths of the Angel Guild headquarters, chose to emerge from the warehouse.

The knowledge fairy directly approached Anna. "You should know who I am, right?" The knowledge fairy transformed into a large owl and smiled as it spoke to Anna.

Although Anna had not had much interaction with the knowledge fairy, she recognized it. She also knew that the knowledge fairy possessed very powerful abilities. Anna nodded.

"Of course, I know you. You are the knowledge fairy! However, I think you shouldn't be here. You should remain in the depths of the warehouse. If you don't go back, I will have the other members of the Angel Guild attack you alongside me." Anna remained very cautious at this moment.

Even though the knowledge fairy had cooperated with Anna and Irving before, it was still a creature of unknown nature. As a member of the Angel Guild, Anna felt a deep sense of wariness towards any such creature.

The knowledge fairy then transformed into Anna's likeness, moving very close to her. "If you send me back, you will have no way to obtain a solution to the erosion caused by chaotic power. Do you want to be continually eroded by chaotic power? The erosion will intensify over time."

The knowledge fairy's words left Anna stunned. "Are you saying that you will provide me with a solution to the erosion caused by chaotic power? You must be lying! Because you previously told Irving that you don't have any way to resolve the chaotic power erosion!"

Anna seemed to see through the knowledge fairy's deception.

The knowledge fairy chuckled softly. "I truly do not know how to resolve the chaotic power erosion, but I can help lessen the extent of your chaotic power's erosion. This way, you will have more time to find a way to save yourself."

The knowledge fairy spoke in a very calm tone. However, Anna did not trust the knowledge fairy. She felt that the knowledge fairy was still testing her, so she simply waited for the knowledge fairy to continue speaking.

"I can use a time-condensing spell to slow down the rate at which time flows in your body. This will also reduce the speed of the chaotic erosion," the knowledge fairy explained, presenting a solution to lessen Anna's chaotic power erosion.

Anna's expression remained largely unchanged. She calmly responded, "Why do you want to do this? What do you want to gain from me?"

Anna was fully aware that the knowledge fairy wouldn't offer help without a reason. Its appearance here and the offer of assistance surely meant it sought something in return.

The knowledge fairy nodded with a smile. "Of course, I won't help you reduce the chaotic erosion for free. I want you to assist me. I hope you can take me out of the Angel Guild headquarters. And you must not tell anyone about this."

The knowledge fairy finally revealed its demands. Upon hearing this, Anna's expression turned hesitant. She did indeed want to lessen the erosion caused by chaotic power. After all, she could feel the extent of the chaotic power's erosion deepening in her body, and the pain was becoming increasingly apparent. Experience tales at empire

However, the knowledge fairy's insistence on keeping this matter secret made her wary. "Why don't you want others to know? Are you trying to keep Irving from finding out that you've left the innermost depths of the Angel Guild headquarters?"

Anna's eyes were filled with caution as she stared intently at the knowledge fairy, waiting for a response. The knowledge fairy did not deny it. "This is a collaboration between you and me. There's no need to involve Irving. Do all your actions require Irving's approval? Is it impossible for you to do anything meaningful without him?"

The knowledge fairy coldly questioned Anna.

Anna understood that the knowledge fairy was attempting to provoke her. Yet, she realized that her dependence on Irving was excessive. Throughout the series of events that had transpired, Anna had never accomplished anything significant on her own. She constantly relied on Irving's assistance. In fact, there were times when she needed Irving to rescue her repeatedly. Anna felt that she had been holding Irving back.

Her expression underwent various changes as she wrestled with her thoughts. The knowledge fairy noticed Anna's hesitation and decided to share more critical information. It believed that what it was about to reveal could persuade Anna to cooperate with it.

"If you still have any doubts, then listen to what I have to say next! What I'm about to tell you will surely convince you to work with me!" the knowledge fairy said confidently.
