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

At the Angel Guild headquarters, Anna remained in her office after Benjamin left. For nearly an hour, several members of the Angel Guild knocked on her office door, but Anna chose not to open it. By this time, many members had gathered outside her office, discussing the current situation.

"What is going on? After Benjamin came, Anna locked herself in her office. It can't be good news that Benjamin brought!"

"I think it's more than just bad news; what Benjamin brought could very well be extremely bad news! Aron might already be dead!"

"That can't be true, can it? Isn't Aron quite powerful? If Aron is dead, how can we possibly fight against the Night Blades?"

"Should we consider just running away? If we withdraw from the Angel Guild now, we might not become targets for the Night Blades."

With all the strong members of the Angel Guild having left, the organization was thrown into chaos. The members were anxious, each contemplating their own escape routes.

While everyone was discussing in hushed tones, Vicky finally arrived with Benjamin. Vicky was a well-known figure, and all the members of the Angel Guild recognized her. Upon seeing her, they instinctively stepped aside to clear a path.

"Everyone, please disperse for now. The situation is indeed a bit complex. I'm here to discuss our next course of action with Anna. She invited me here," Vicky said with a smile.

Vicky's intention was to reassure the Angel Guild members and ease their panic. If she was invited by Anna, it meant that Anna still had a plan in place. This calmed the members, who began to settle down after hearing Vicky's words.

Vicky then knocked on Anna's office door with Benjamin beside her. When there was no response, Vicky subtly signaled to Benjamin. Without hesitation, he forcefully opened Anna's office door.

Once Vicky and Benjamin entered the office, the door slammed shut behind them. Although the members of the Angel Guild were no longer in a state of panic, they still chose not to leave. They remained gathered outside Anna's office, waiting for her to reappear.

Inside the office, Vicky carefully observed Anna's current state. Anna's condition could only be described as despondent. Although she noticed Vicky's presence, her expression remained unchanged.

"President, you see it, right? No matter how much we persuade her, she won't change her mind. Anna has given up all hope; she doesn't plan to take any action at all. It seems she's just waiting for her own death," Benjamin said coldly to Vicky.

Vicky turned around and shot Benjamin a warning glance. He promptly closed his mouth, but his expression remained icy. After all, Anna had left a very negative impression on him.

Vicky approached Anna and slowly crouched down in front of her, speaking softly, "I know you must be under a lot of pressure right now. I understand that you feel helpless. But I hope you realize that this is not the time to feel helpless.

We used to rely on others, but now there is no one left to depend on. We can only rely on ourselves. Although my strength is not great, I am still willing to take risks. No matter what, you are stronger than I am. Do you really think you are weaker than me? Can I take risks while you cannot?"

Vicky spoke to Anna in the gentlest tone she could muster. Finally, Anna's expression changed somewhat. She looked at Vicky, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

"What's the point of taking risks? Aron has already been captured by the Shadow Celestial! They will never let him go! He might already be dead!" Anna finally spoke up.

After saying this, Anna suddenly broke down in tears. Seeing Anna in such a state caused a shift in Benjamin's expression as well. He suddenly felt that Anna wasn't as detestable as he had thought before.

"Stop crying! We can still turn the situation around! The Angel Guild must have powerful items and weapons! The reason we couldn't use those items before was that they would definitely trigger strong negative effects. But now, we can't afford to be so cautious," Vicky's tone became more assertive than before.

Vicky believed her persuasion had started to take effect, so now she aimed to ignite Anna's fighting spirit.

Anna indeed stopped crying.

"You're right! If we want to succeed, we must use the most powerful items! As far as I know, the Angel Guild does have an extremely powerful artifact. It is located deep within the Angel Guild headquarters. Using this artifact will undoubtedly trigger very negative effects, but we can't worry about that anymore," Anna declared, her resolve firm.

With her determination set, Anna quickly opened the door to her office. As the door swung open, the members of the Angel Guild outside turned their attention to her. They could see the redness in Anna's eyes and the resolute expression on her face.

"Stop lingering here! Get back to your posts immediately! Aron and Irving are in trouble in the Shelter Game world. Vicky, Benjamin, and I will go rescue them!" Anna commanded in an undeniable tone.

The members of the Angel Guild quickly dispersed. Anna's resolute voice reassured them, allowing them to finally relax.

Anna then led Vicky and Benjamin to the deepest part of the Angel Guild headquarters. In addition to the warehouse where the Knowledge Fairy resided, there was another hidden area.

This hidden area contained the most powerful artifact ever possessed by the Angel Guild since its inception: the World Connector.

"What you are about to see is the most powerful artifact that the Angel Guild possesses. In fact, I believe it might be the strongest artifact known to humanity," Anna stated as she stepped forward and recited an incantation.

The moment the incantation was completed, a burst of vibrant colors erupted from a wall ahead. These colors formed a barrier, which transformed into a large door.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The World Connector is just beyond this barrier! If you want to back out now, feel free to tell me. I must warn you in advance, once you see the World Connector, you will be affected by its negative effects," Anna solemnly cautioned Vicky and Benjamin.

Naturally, Vicky and Benjamin were not deterred. They had come here specifically to obtain a powerful artifact.

Neither of them asked about the negative effects, as they knew that if Anna could tell them in advance, she would have done so. The fact that she didn't meant that the negative effects couldn't be disclosed beforehand.

After receiving confirmation from Vicky and Benjamin, Anna directly opened the large door. As the door swung open, Vicky and Benjamin saw a peculiar-looking gramophone. It seemed to be constantly emitting strange music.

The moment they heard the odd music, Vicky and Benjamin felt as if they possessed three different types of vision simultaneously. One of the visions was normal sight, allowing them to see the bizarre gramophone, known as the World Connector. The other two types of vision were quite strange. With these two visions, Benjamin and Vicky could see things that didn't exist in the real world. They could even perceive various forms of energy as tangible entities.

"You must be feeling the effects now! Any living being that sees the World Connector will be infused with sensory perceptions from other strange worlds! Your vision is likely the only sense affected right now, but it won't be long before your hearing, touch, taste, and smell are affected too. We need to use the World Connector to rescue Irving and Aron as quickly as possible! If we delay too long, our souls will be fragmented across different worlds by the World Connector," Anna quickly explained the negative effects of the World Connector.

Vicky and Benjamin both agreed that they needed to act fast. However, they still didn't understand the powerful capabilities of the World Connector.

"What exactly should we do to use the World Connector?" Benjamin asked Anna directly.

As Anna picked up the peculiar gramophone, she slowly explained, "We can use the World Connector to travel directly to other worlds we know! During this process, we must stay focused. We absolutely cannot think of anything other than the target world. Additionally, the World Connector can forcibly banish our enemies to other worlds! With the World Connector, we can go directly to where Irving and Aron are!"

After explaining the function of the World Connector, Anna turned to Vicky and Benjamin and said loudly, "Who do you think we should rescue first? Should we go for Irving or Aron?"

Facing Anna's question, Vicky replied decisively, "Aron is likely in more danger! So let's go rescue him first!"

Vicky was very aware that Anna definitely wanted to rescue Aron first. However, Anna was unlikely to voice that herself, so Vicky directly spoke on her behalf.

Anna nodded and said, "Now focus your minds on remembering what Aron looks like! I am about to activate the World Connector!"

At Anna's prompt, Vicky and Benjamin began to recall Aron's appearance in their minds. Anna, of course, took corresponding action as well.

After two minutes, Anna activated the World Connector directly.
