Another cool breeze blew, and Carl no longer hesitated. He immediately picked out the wood and started making the gate.

"Wait, could this wind be a sign that the Elemental Plane of Air is beginning to influence the dungeon?"

No one has stipulated that the influence of the four elemental planes on this demi-plane will come one by one. Thinking of this, Carl increased the speed of making the door panels by two levels.

"Can I help you with anything?"

Looking at how hard Carl was working, Hope actually felt a little guilty.

Thinking that her body had almost recovered, she took the initiative to ask Karl for a job.

but……

"Uh~, there is no suitable job for you at the moment."

As a "savage" who has no other skills except fighting and surviving in the wild, there is not much Hope can do to help Carl.

At least until she had acquired certain skills and knowledge, the most she could do was roughly process the wood.

"Oh, all right then."

Hope walked aside obediently and sat down with her knees hugged, trying not to disturb Carl.

Seeing that Hope seemed a little disappointed about this, Carl thought for a moment and took out some flint and whetstone from his dimensional bag.

"How about you help me polish the flint? That way we can have two more flint daggers for handling things."

"good!"

Hope took the stones with great enthusiasm, found a position facing Carl, and began to sharpen the flint dagger.

The flint dagger is not a necessary tool for Carl. After he reaches level 3, he will be able to learn the artificer's [Tools of Hand].

This is a class feature of the artificer primary class, allowing the holder to craft the exact tools he needs.

This feature allows the artificer to use his thieves' or artisan's tools to magically create a set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of him.

The tools are a product of magic, but are themselves non-magical.

When the artificer uses this feature again, the previously created tool disappears.

In ancient times, artificers could only rely on this feature to create some simple alchemical vessels or blacksmith tools for use.

But in modern times, artificers have made great progress in developing this feature.

Machining lathes, potion extraction test benches, hydraulic power hammers and even high-speed centrifuges, as long as the items are non-magical and the size and structure are not too outrageous, the artificer can make them.

Of course, manufacturing time will gradually increase with the complexity of the machine.

In the beginning, the machinists only needed one hour to make the tools they needed, but now, this time often starts from three hours.

In this way, Carl and Hope faced each other, each doing their own work.

Time passed quickly, and the things in the hands of the two people became more and more perfect.

Just as the two were about to finish the work, suddenly, a white light appeared in the sky outside.

The white light kept flickering and lasted for about five or six seconds.

Carl and Hope put down their work because of the flash. Ten seconds later, a rumbling thunder sounded from afar.

"It looks like the Elemental Plane of Air has indeed joined in. I'm now somewhat glad that I laid the foundation for this house."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rain in the sky suddenly tilted down.

The sound of wind whirring came from the mushroom forest, and some rain flew into the wooden house with the wind.

Seeing this, Carl quickly picked up the door panel on the ground and placed it on the door frame.

Taking another piece of wood to prop up the door, Carl squatted down and began to make the mechanism for opening and closing it.

This thing didn't take Carl much time. Hope's first flint dagger had just been completed, and his was also finished.

Just as he was about to show off to Hope, Carl suddenly felt that the spirituality in his soul had grown a lot.

"What's going on?"

This spiritual growth came so unexpectedly, but when Carl thought about it carefully, he could understand some of the reasons.

Although this house is made of wood, the sophistication of its mortise and tenon structure is no less than that of a mechanical mechanism.

In a sense, this also falls within the scope of a machinist's "training".

"But why was there no spiritual feedback when the rough framework was created? Was it because there was no way at that time?"

Karl suppressed the doubts in his heart and did not delve into it further.

Anyway, it’s good that he can gain spirituality.

'According to the current progress, if everything goes well, I can be promoted to level 3 after practicing combat skills for a while with the Combat Apprentice feat.'

Carl's heart gradually became excited when he thought about the various abilities he could learn after level 3.

"Hey! What are you doing standing here?"

Seeing Carl standing there motionless after locking the door, Hope walked up and waved in front of Carl.

"It's okay, my spirituality just increased a lot. I might reach level 3 earlier than you!"

"You are really amazing, then. To celebrate your early level 3 achievement, how about doing some extra training later?"

When he heard the words “extra practice”, Carl’s face fell.

Hope's workout was even more extreme than some of the fitness bloggers in her previous life, and Carl wasn't sure if he could stick with it.

But when he thought about the fact that his physical condition was only slightly better than that of a normal person, he gave up the idea of ​​giving up and nodded with difficulty.

"OK!"

In any case, Carl felt that he had to at least train himself to have a body that could withstand the high mobility of the arcane power armor.

Otherwise, Carl himself would not be able to hold on before the enemy was eliminated.

"Then do ten sets of weighted push-ups first."

Seeing that Carl agreed for the first time, Hope didn't hesitate and directly increased the intensity of Carl.

“Don’t put anything too heavy.”

After giving Hope a pitiful look, Carl leaned over to the ground, ready to start his exercise.

Just as he was thinking that Hope would put something on his back, a soft and elastic object applied downward pressure on Carl's lower back.

Looking back, Carl saw that Hope was actually sitting on his lower back and seemed to be planning to lie directly on top of him.

"Don't stop! You do push-ups and I'll do sit-ups. Let's exercise together."

Before Carl could say anything, Hope had already laid on top of Carl, then stood up and completed a standard sit-up.

"No... Where did you learn this exercise method?"

It is said that when men and women exercise with contact with each other, the amount of hormones secreted by both parties will increase, thereby improving the efficiency of exercise.

But Carl's knowledge of this exercise method was limited to the short videos he saw in his previous life, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

"Huh? I just saw that you needed to carry weights, so I used myself to help you. Do you want to use those hard woods as weights?"

"No... this is good..."
