When Chu Zhong tried to get closer, he was pressed against the chest with a little force.

"You have a cold?" Eri asked, her eyes full of concern.

"It's just a minor cold, nothing serious," Chu Zhong said with a relaxed expression.

This was the first time Chu Zhong had stayed in a dungeon for so long, and he hadn't expected that he would even experience a negative state like being sick.

Once I get back to reality, my cold should be gone.

As he spoke, Chu Zhong kept his right hand on the sweater, carefully feeling the gentle trembling of Eri's heartbeat.

“But it’s a bit cold here…” Eri didn’t push his hand away, but blushed and whispered.

Chu Zhong realized that Fei Yingli was not regretting her decision, but simply had a small request in this exposed and chilly place.

"Well... let's make a warm little house first."

Chu Zhong also came to his senses; this was indeed not a good place to do business.

If you get a cold wind blowing on you when it's really hot, it'll be incredibly uncomfortable.

He came to the dungeon to farm experience, materials, and items while also enjoying the beauty of life; it was a long-term plan to come back a second, third, or even countless times.

It's not like Pigsy swallowing a ginseng fruit whole, unable to taste its flavor.

Having set his goal, Chu Zhong immediately helped Fei Yingli tidy up her clothes and then stood up to grab the car door.

Using the car door as a shovel, a square area with sides of two meters was cleared.

Using the car door as a shield, Chu Zhong used the other side to press and compact the surrounding snow.

Then they continued to pile and compact the nearby snow onto the solid snow.

About twenty minutes later, a rough snow wall about 1.4 meters high had taken shape.

In this icy and snowy landscape, knee-deep snow is the best building material!

Just as Chu Zhong was preparing to build the second wall, Fei Yingli rushed into his arms.

"Take a break," Eri said with concern, "otherwise your hands will freeze."

Then she noticed that Chu Zhong's arms were very warm and asked in surprise, "You have such a high body temperature, do you have a high fever?"

"Hahahaha—" Chu Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

Eri seemed to detect the mockery in the laughter and couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed: "What's so funny?!"

She was clearly worried about him, but she was mocked.

Chu Zhong suppressed his laughter, but the corners of his mouth still turned up: "They say 'the wise do not fall in love,' and it seems that's true."

"I've been expending a lot of energy, so it's normal for my body to get hot and my temperature to rise."

"Eri, you're getting flustered because you care too much, and you're not as smart as you used to be."

Eri Kisaki was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by what she said, but she couldn't refute it.

Chu Zhong then added, "But my hands are indeed a bit frozen, I need Yingli to help me warm them up."

"Hmph~" Eri immediately let out a slightly smug nasal sound.

As they embraced face to face, warming their hands, Chu Zhong asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Yingli, how did you suddenly... agree?"

Chu Zhong was quite surprised by this.

"W-what...?" Eri Kisaki blushed deeply, burying her face in her chest and muttering, "I didn't agree to anything... strange..."

"Unless...you confess everything honestly..."

Ah this...

Chu Zhong didn't feel there was anything to explain. He had basically explained everything last night. It was just that the character Eri in the alternate version of the story thought like a normal person and couldn't understand.

Besides, Eri Kisaki did not verbally agree, but she did not refuse either.

A few seconds later, Chu Zhong's eyes darted around, and he deliberately sighed, "Alright, I'll confess..."

Fei Yingli immediately looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Well……"

Chu Zhong took the opportunity to sneak a bite and then shared a passionate kiss with Eri.

"You bad guy! You're teasing me again!" The young girl, Eri, blushed from the kiss and protested loudly once she could breathe easily.

But her voice was soft and lacked any power, and to Chu Zhong's ears it sounded more like she was being coquettish.

After taking a few light punches, Chu Zhong felt his hands warm up, so he let go and continued building the wall.

Less than two minutes later, Eri Kisaki leaned closer: "Is there anything I can help with?"

"Yes, later you..." Chu Zhong wanted to tease her a little more, but then he noticed her serious look and changed his words: "Eri, go and collect some firewood nearby, we'll use it to keep warm later."

“Okay!” Eri nodded vigorously and immediately began searching for firewood.

In winter, many small, dead trees are buried in snow, with only a small section of their withered blackness showing. They stand out against the white snow and can be easily seen even by those with poor eyesight.

Then, Eri grabbed the small section of dead wood that was sticking out, gritted her teeth and twisted it clockwise and counterclockwise a few times, using the branches to clear away the surrounding snow, and then broke the dead wood in half.

After gathering a piece of firewood, he continued searching for the next piece of dead wood...

Watching Eri diligently collecting firewood, Chu Zhong couldn't help but nod in approval.

Indeed, how could a future independent and self-reliant legal queen be content to be just a pretty face?

Speaking of which, Eri Kisaki was one of the "Teitan Twin Beauties" at Teitan High School, on par with Yukiko in terms of beauty.

If she truly had the personality of someone who reaps the benefits without sowing, with Eri Kisaki's beauty, she could easily hook up with a rich man.

'The main characters in this instance are quite similar in personality to Eri Kisaki in real life…'

Chu Zhong muttered to himself.

Chapter 72 The Fiery Little Snow House

Thinking about the wonderful experience that was about to come, Chu Zhong became even more energetic in building the wall.

"Cough cough..."

I cough occasionally.

Fortunately, Chu Zhong's stamina bar is practically unlimited, so even if he feels a little weak, it won't be a problem.

An hour later, Chu Zhong compacted the snow and built four walls. Although it was a bit rough and hasty, the square snow house was beginning to take shape.

Eri Kisaki also gathered a lot of firewood, her hands turning red from the cold.

call--

The sky grew increasingly gloomy, a breeze picked up, and snowflakes began to fall again.

The snowy wind swept by, taking away the warmth and making Chu Zhong feel much colder all of a sudden.

We need to hurry up and seal the roof off the snow house, or we'll freeze again!

'It shouldn't have been built so big...'

Looking at the square snow house with sides of two meters, Chu Zhong felt a little regretful. How could he roof it if he didn't have enough long pieces of wood?

I was initially worried about the lack of space and thought it would be more spacious to avoid hindering movement.

As for the capping?

Chu Zhong initially only planned to build a wall to block the wind and light a campfire for some warmth, so that he could do his business without catching a cold. He didn't intend to stay there for long.

Unexpectedly, a snowstorm has started, and the roof must be sealed off.

"How about we arrange branches in a crisscross pattern on the wall and then pile snow on top?"

Seeing him stroking his chin while staring at the top of the snow house, Eri guessed the problem and offered a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhong glanced at the firewood that Fei Yingli had collected and shook his head: "This firewood is rather thin, and it's made of dead branches, so it's quite brittle and unlikely to support the roof..."

call--

The wind hadn't gotten stronger, but Chu Zhong felt increasingly cold, especially his forehead, which was icy cold...

Chu Zhong reached out and touched his forehead, only to find that the sweat that had been dripping from his brow while he was working hard building the wall had been partially frozen by the cold wind.

Thin clothing cannot block the cold wind, which blows in gusts, making the sweat on the body the culprit for quickly losing body heat.

Suddenly, the weakness caused by the cold became even stronger.

"Chu Jun, your face is so red... your forehead is so hot!"

Eri Kisaki approached, stood on tiptoe, touched her forehead to her forehead, and realized that something was wrong.

During that hour, the two would take a break every ten or twenty minutes, hugging each other to keep warm and chatting for a while.

But each time, the temperature coming from Chu would be a little hotter.

If she had a normal body temperature, then Chu Zhong's forehead temperature would be at least two degrees higher than hers.

This temperature cannot be explained simply by the heat generated from exercise or a minor cold.

"It's nothing...it's alright...cough cough cough..."

As Chu Zhong was speaking, his throat suddenly felt itchy, and he couldn't help but cough twice.

Avoiding Eri's gaze, Chu Zhong continued, "Alright, let's go find some more firewood. I've thought of a way to seal the roof."

It's just a minor cold, as long as I leave the instance...

[Leave the current scene?]

The moment the thought of leaving arose, a system notification sounded in Chu Zhong's mind, and he replied with a "no" without hesitation.

This is the perfect time to enjoy life, how could I possibly leave now?

After temporarily sending Eri away, Chu Zhong picked up the car door again and used the smoother side to smooth the west exterior wall of the snow house as neatly as possible.

Then he took out a bottle of beer from his inventory, opened it, and took a couple of sips to quench his thirst.

Then, take a mouthful and spray it onto the west exterior wall of the snow house, like watering flowers, trying to make it as even as possible.

In the freezing cold, tiny water droplets seep into the gaps between snowflakes, quickly freezing into ice crystals that bind the surrounding snowflakes together.

Before long, a layer of ice and snow about two centimeters thick was clearly formed on the outermost part of the wall.

With a little care and push from the side, it's easy to 'tear' off this entire layer of frozen ice and snow.

Chu Zhong wasn't in a hurry to 'tear off' the ice and snow layer immediately. Instead, he let it be exposed to the cold wind for a while longer so that it would become more solid.

During this time, they repeated the same trick on another outer wall, creating another layer of ice and snow.

The ice and snow layer is two meters long, one and four-tenths meters high, and about two centimeters thick.

"Eiri~!"

When Chu Zhong felt it was about time, he beckoned for Fei Yingli to come and help.

Together, the two carefully 'torn off' the layer of ice and snow, lifted it up, and placed it horizontally on top of the snow house.

Two layers of ice and snow just covered the roof, with a little bit of extra length.

The snow house is only 1.4 meters high, so Chu Zhong can stand up and sprinkle snow and wine on the roof to make the ice and snow layer a little thicker and prevent it from collapsing.

With this, the snow house was officially completed.

During this time, Eri Kisaki's gaze fell on the beer bottle he pulled out from somewhere, her face showing no surprise, as if she was already used to it.

This 'Lord Chu' is shrouded in mystery, with too many inexplicable things about him.

"Let's go inside and get out of the wind; it's warm inside."

Chu Zhong gestured for Fei Yingli to slip into the snow house through the small doorway that had been reserved.

The wind and snow intensified, making him shiver.

The two then went into the snow house one after the other.

The snow house is only tall enough to sit upright or squat, but it is two meters wide, which is more than enough to lie down and sleep later.
