Chapter 170: Resolving Issues with the New Shelter



At this moment, Irving was already inside the shelter game with Wendy. Wendy had set her shelter as a vassal to Irving\'s shelter.

When Wendy saw her shelter, she couldn\'t believe her eyes and asked Irving, "Why is my shelter so basic while yours is so elaborate?"

Wendy\'s shelter had only a wooden table, and because it was a vassal shelter, it didn\'t even have a separate room. In stark contrast, Irving\'s shelter was completely different.

Irving\'s shelter featured a main building made entirely of massive stones, several moats, watchtowers, and observation towers beyond the moats. The defense of Irving\'s shelter was highly layered. There was a significant space between the first line of defense and the shelter itself. This meant that even if Irving\'s shelter were attacked, he would have plenty of time to make adjustments.

After hearing Wendy\'s question, Irving replied, "This is just what your shelter looks like on your first day in the shelter game. As you spend more time in the game and your strength increases, your shelter will become more refined."

Wendy nodded, seeming to understand Irving\'s words. But then Irving\'s tone shifted.

"However, you don\'t need to envy me too much because I\'m about to abandon this shelter. I\'m going to move my shelter to a completely new location."

Wendy was slightly surprised. "Isn\'t this location good enough? I just took a look around. Aren\'t there several mountain peaks around your shelter that can serve as natural defense barriers?"

Irving nodded. Wendy, being a professional assassin, had an exceptionally keen intuition for terrain and defense conditions.

"Indeed, there are some natural barriers around my territory that can be utilized. But, the apocalypse in the shelter game is imminent. Before it arrives, I need to move my shelter to an even safer location."

By the end of Irving\'s speech, his tone had become quite somber.

Wendy seemed to sense the tension in Irving\'s words. "The apocalypse? Is there really an apocalypse in the shelter game?"

Irving smiled but didn\'t offer an answer, just nodding slightly. In reality, everything that happened in the shelter game was just a rehearsal for the real world. What occurred in the shelter game would inevitably happen in reality. The Dark Overlord would eventually bring the apocalypse to the real world as well. Therefore, the apocalypse in the shelter game would certainly arrive sooner.

Although Irving didn\'t know the exact timing of the apocalypse in the shelter game, he could feel that it was less than a month away.

"Alright, you should have a basic understanding of the purpose of the shelter by now. Follow me to the new location I\'ve chosen for the shelter."

Saying this, Irving took Wendy\'s hand and led her to the teleportation array. After a flash of white light, they found themselves at the edge of a grand castle. This castle was the new location Irving had selected for their shelter.

"It won\'t be long before our shelter is moved into this castle. But before that, we need to resolve all the issues with the new shelter."

As Irving spoke, he led Wendy towards the castle gate. When they approached the gate, a member of the Green Ivy Group blocked their path from behind the wall.

"Who are you? Without the president\'s orders, no one is allowed to enter the castle!"

Irving and Wendy reacted differently to the voice. Wendy glanced at the position of the Green Ivy Group member. She quickly noticed that the hiding spot wasn\'t very well-chosen. If it were her, she would have hidden behind the more covered wall further back.

"Looks like he\'s not very good at finding sniper positions," Wendy muttered softly.

Irving chuckled but didn\'t reply to Wendy. Instead, he called out to the hiding member of the Green Ivy Group, "I\'m Irving. You should have heard my name from your president, right?"

The moment Irving mentioned his name, the previously loud and confrontational member of the Green Ivy Group immediately responded, "So it\'s you, Lord Irving. My apologies! Why didn\'t you notify us in advance?!"

The member hurriedly apologized as he emerged from his hiding spot.

"I will inform our president right away. If he\'s not too busy, he should be able to come over promptly."

As a member of the Green Ivy Group, he had heard Irving\'s name countless times from their president, James. James held Irving in high regard. He knew very well that cooperating with Irving was crucial for both himself and the Zhang family, which he represented.

Therefore, James had repeatedly instructed the castle guards of the Green Ivy Group to be extremely polite when they encountered Irving and to accommodate his needs as much as possible.

Hearing this, Irving responded with a smile, "I\'m here today just to get an overall view of the castle. If your president is too busy, he doesn\'t need to come."

"To our president, your matters are of utmost importance. So, he will definitely come over immediately. If you don\'t wish to wait for him, feel free to take a look around the castle on your own."

Nodding, Irving led Wendy into the castle.

"I really didn\'t expect even the president of the Green Ivy Group to be so courteous to you. I remember the president of the Green Ivy Group is James, the actual controller of the Green Ivy Company. James is a significant figure in the City of Warding, and the Zhang family behind him wields immense power in the city. How did you manage to gain his attention?

Although your power is formidable, I didn\'t think it was enough to warrant such high regard from James."

Wendy didn\'t know much about Irving. She was unaware of how rapidly he had increased his strength and didn\'t know about his significant impact on the Night Blades during their operations.

"James must have his reasons for acting this way. If you can\'t understand it, perhaps it\'s because you aren\'t as smart as he is. You still underestimate my strength."

Irving spoke calmly and then focused his attention on the castle. Despite James having ordered his subordinates to thoroughly clean the entire castle, there were still some monsters present. However, these monsters were not particularly powerful.

As a necromancer and a powerful individual capable of enslaving exotic beasts, Irving naturally intended to turn all the monsters and exotic beasts he encountered into part of his exotic beast army.

Although the exotic beasts in the castle weren\'t particularly powerful, some had very special abilities. For instance, some exotic beasts could perfectly hide themselves in the darkness. These exotic beasts could serve as scouts for Irving\'s exotic beast army. By hiding them in the shadows, Irving\'s enemies wouldn\'t be able to detect that he was observing their every move.

Irving quickly led Wendy around the castle for a thorough inspection. After completing the circuit, he confirmed that all the monsters and exotic beasts in the castle had been cleared out. When Irving returned to the castle entrance, James finally arrived.

Seeing Irving, James smiled and asked, "So, what do you think? Are you satisfied with the condition of the castle?"

Irving nodded. "It seems you took the cleaning of the castle very seriously. I\'m quite satisfied with the cleanliness. However, we still have a few other issues to address."

James\' smile remained unchanged. He had anticipated that Irving would have some issues to resolve; otherwise, Irving wouldn\'t have come here suddenly.

"Feel free to tell me what you need. If I can help, I will certainly do my best. If neither of us has a solution, we can calmly discuss it."

James showed great respect for Irving. Irving then laid out the problems he needed to address.

"The first issue is the lighting in the castle. I mentioned before that I plan to move my shelter here. If the lighting problem isn\'t resolved by the time my shelter is relocated, it could face significant risks during battles. I\'ve told you before that fighting powerful enemies in the dark is extremely dangerous."

James nodded and made a mental note of this issue. Irving then brought up the second problem: the geomagnetic energy beneath the castle. Although it had been some time since all the enemies in the castle had been cleared out, the geomagnetic energy underground had not yet stabilized. For Irving to move his shelter here, he needed to ensure that the geomagnetic energy wouldn\'t cause any disturbances.

After all, Irving didn\'t want to establish his shelter in a place prone to geomagnetic storms.

As for other minor issues, Irving wasn\'t as concerned. As long as these two primary issues were resolved, he could proceed with relocating his shelter to the castle.
