Chapter 14: Rain in the Underground City



"Hoo~Hoo~, I can't take it anymore, Hope, please, let's stop here for today, I really, really have..."

Somewhere in the mushroom forest, Carl was pinned down by Hope, begging for mercy in a shameful manner.

However, the energetic Tiefling girl did not let Carl go. Instead, she tightened her arms and thighs around Carl even more forcefully.

Carl, feeling that he was about to reach his limit, let out a breath from his chest, and all the strength in his body drained away with this breath.

"Humph! You were the one who proposed it in the beginning. Now that I've suppressed you, you want to stop here. There's no such good thing in the world!"

"Sorry! I overestimated my abilities, so could you please let me go? I can't breathe!"

Carl patted the ground in pain and helplessness, tears already flowing from his eyes due to lack of oxygen.

Seeing him like this, Hope curled his lips secretly, let go of Carl, and climbed up from him.

"With your current level, it's impossible for you to be a warrior. Are you sure you want to be a part-time warrior?"

Looking at Carl who was getting up from the ground, Hope put one hand on his waist, and his tone was very pessimistic about Carl's attempt to be a part-time warrior.

"The main combat power of a mechanic is concentrated after level 3. At my current rate of improvement, even if I go out hunting with you every day, it will take at least half a month to reach level 3."

"Conducting warrior training will improve my basic combat capabilities as quickly as possible."

Although he said this, Carl was thinking in his heart whether the duration of the dream space could be extended after returning to his residence.

The reason why he asked Hope to help him with combat training, in addition to the reason he mentioned, was that he wanted to prolong his sleep time through high-intensity exercise.

"Your physical fitness is actually quite good, but your skills are too poor. You can only practice this slowly. Okay, take these woods and let's go back."

Picking up the hand axe on the ground and hanging it behind his waist again, Hopra stretched his waist and walked towards where the two were living now.

Carl, who was standing by, weakly carried a bundle of wood on his back and followed Hope weakly.

Two days had passed since the two men selected the location for their camp.

In the past two days, the two have been constantly cutting down nearby wood mushrooms to use as firewood.

The wooden house designed by Carl has now taken shape.

Of course, during this period, they also tried to continue spraying large mushrooms with fresh fluorescent mushroom juice.

As a result, they also obtained 5 new Eberron Dragon Crystals.

However, the cap of the large mushroom where they currently live has been completely petrified. If they want to continue to obtain dragon crystals, they may need to look for other large mushrooms.

There is no shortage of similar mushrooms in this mushroom forest, but they are more difficult to climb than the one Hope chose, and sprinkling mushroom juice on the stem will not make the mushrooms grow dragon crystal.

Therefore, the two of them have no way to continue obtaining dragon crystals for the time being.

Soon, the two followed the path they had already trampled out and returned to the base of the completely petrified giant mushroom.

Finding a rope somewhere on the stem, Hopra pulled it and said aloud, "Up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the climbing rope pulled Hope upwards.

When Hope reached the top of the mushroom cap, the climbing rope on the other side just fell to the ground, and Carl pulled the rope and climbed up with the last bit of his strength.

"This way of exercising is killing me. Can we try another way?"

After climbing up with great difficulty, Carl looked at Hope who had already started processing the wood, and complained weakly.

"I'm sorry, but that's how muscle building works. At least I don't know of any way to get a great physique without any pain."

As he spoke, Hope put aside a whole piece of roughly processed wood.

Although he knew that Hope was right, Carl still felt a little disappointed.

Putting down the wood on his body, he picked up the flint tool and began to cut the wood.

It would be unlikely for a layman like Carl to master such a complex process.

But who can blame Carl for having cheats now?

After going to bed every day, Carl would take some time to simulate and model in the dream space.

Dream space and psychic power can activate Carl's memories of his previous life to the maximum extent, so the various popular science videos that Carl had seen in his previous life became the objects of his learning skills.

Carl certainly cannot build something too complicated, but the structure of east and west wing rooms plus a living room is no problem.

Now that the frame of the house is up, all that remains is to use wooden boards to make walls and roofs, and to build furniture and beds.

The tinkling sounds echoed on the mushrooms one after another, as if they would continue until the end of time.

Carl and Hope were both concentrating on their work and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Suddenly, a drop of liquid fell on a nearby petrified mushroom cap.

Carl and Hope paused at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.

But soon, more liquid fell from the sky with a crackling sound.

The icy rain turned into heavy downpour almost instantly, soaking Carl and Hope like drowned rats.

The dense sound of rain was so continuous that other sounds were almost inaudible.

"It rains here? Where does the extra moisture come from? Didn't you say this is a demiplane?"

"The demiplane is still connected to the four elemental planes, and their energy will penetrate into the demiplane from time to time. It seems that now is the period when the water elemental plane is approaching this demiplane. Help me light it up, and I will splice the roof and walls together immediately!"

Face to face, Carl and Hope shouted loudly in each other's ears.

Only in this way can the other party hear your voice clearly.

Handing the rivet with lighting effect to Hope, Carl climbed onto the roof on the scaffolding in the heavy rain.

Carl had already reserved the joints between the woods. Now all he needed to do was to join the woods together according to his previous idea.

Every time Carl finished splicing a piece, Hope below would find similar wood and hand it to him.

Karl continued to do this, and soon he had installed the roof and walls of the living room.

"Come in and hide! In this situation, if the two of us catch a cold, we will almost die!"

Seeing that there was finally a place to shelter from the rain, Hope quickly called Carl in.

At this time, the two of them were completely soaked by the rain.

Hope began to take off her clothes after entering the living room.

You have to take it off.

Because wet clothes will take away more heat from the human body.

If symptoms of hypothermia appeared, it would be enough to kill both of them.

Seeing that Hope had lifted up the innermost clothes, Carl quickly pinched out the rivets used for lighting.

He had no dark vision, so he couldn't see Hope in dim conditions.

Although the rain obscured most of the mushrooms' fluorescence, Carl could still vaguely see the outline of Hope's body.

Vaguely, a vague and ambiguous adjective.
