A bed that traverses countless worlds

"Useless! Are you just going to lie in bed waiting to die?" The sharp curses echoed in Lin Yuhao's ears, followed by the landlord's violent banging on the door.

Life was like a lump of mud, plastering him tightly to the bed.

Lin Yuhao, an unemployed young man with disabilities in both legs, once enjoyed instant noodles and sausages as his life's peak, but now he can barely afford even instant noodles anymore.

He stared at the ceiling in despair, the peeling paint on the walls seeming to mock his incompetence.

Suddenly, the world spun around him, and he and his bed disappeared into the cramped rented room.

When Lin Yuhao opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a familiar bed, but everything around him had changed.

The dark, damp corner, the air reeking of decay, and the distant, faint roars of wild beasts—this was definitely not his dilapidated rented room!

A mechanical voice echoed in his mind: "Welcome to the 'Myriad Realms' game world. Newbie quest: Survive in the newbie village for three days." A game world?

Survive for three days?

Before Lin Yuhao could react, a ragged old man shakily walked up to him, looking him up and down with a suspicious gaze: "Where did this wild brat come from, lying on such a shabby bed, trying to play dead and freeload? Let me tell you, we don't support idlers in our newbie village!"

This old man looks like an NPC from a game.

Lin Yuhao tried to explain, "I'm... a new player..." "A player? You? Hmph! You're more like a jinx!" The old man interrupted him rudely, his tone full of disdain. "Get out of the village right now and don't bring us bad luck!"

Lin Yuhao felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. The NPCs in the newbie village of this game were just too unfriendly!

Just as he was about to argue his case, a burly man with several henchmen swaggered over and mocked him, "Hey, isn't this a cripple? What, you want to play the game too? Hahaha! With your looks, you probably can't even kill a chicken!" The burly man's name was Zhao Hu, and he was the bully of the newbie village, who loved to bully new players.

He grabbed the edge of Lin Yuhao's bed and said menacingly, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over all your money, or else..."

Before Zhao Hu could finish speaking, the system's voice rang in Lin Yuhao's mind again: "Malicious attack detected, defense mechanism activated..." Just as Lin Yuhao was at a loss, a mechanical notification suddenly sounded in his mind: "Host detected to be under threat, newbie protection mechanism activated, newbie gift pack awarded." Lin Yuhao was stunned. Newbie gift pack?

Is this the legendary cheat code?

He quickly opened the gift package with his mind, and there appeared out of thin air a simple wooden sword and a few pieces of dry bread.

"That's it?" Lin Yuhao complained. "At least give me a dragon-slaying sword or something. What can this wooden sword do?"

Peel an apple?

Zhao Hu stared blankly at the items that had appeared out of thin air for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this is hilarious! A broken wooden sword and a few pieces of rotten bread, is this all you're relying on? You think you're here for a picnic?" He reached out to snatch Lin Yuhao's wooden sword, not forgetting to mock him: "With your looks, you think you can survive in the game? Go home and wash up and go to sleep!" Zhao Hu's henchmen also joined in the commotion, shouting for Lin Yuhao to hand over the items.

Lin Yuhao gripped the wooden sword in his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Although he is physically disabled, it does not mean he has no dignity!

"Trying to steal my things? Let's see if you have the guts!"

Before Zhao Hu could even touch the wooden sword, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and Lin Yuhao, along with the bed, vanished into thin air!

"Where is he?!" Zhao Hu and his henchmen looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Before they could react, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them: "I'm here." Zhao Hu turned around abruptly and saw Lin Yuhao standing behind him, a wooden sword pressed against his back.

"Holy crap! Teleportation?!" Zhao Hu was so scared that his soul almost left his body, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He never expected that this seemingly frail paralyzed man would have such amazing skills!

The surrounding villagers were also stunned by this scene. Those who had been mocking Lin Yuhao all shut their mouths, their eyes filled with surprise and fear.

"Although I am disabled, I am not a pushover!" Lin Yuhao's voice was not loud, but it was full of power. "I will survive well in this newbie village, and no one can stop me!" He put away his wooden sword, manipulated the bed to move slowly, and an aura of looking down on all living beings arose spontaneously.

Some villagers began to have a different opinion of him; perhaps this disabled young man was not as simple as they had imagined.

Having resolved Zhao Hu's problem, Lin Yuhao did not let his guard down.

He knew that there were many more challenges waiting for him in this unfamiliar game world.

He looked up and a dilapidated tavern in the distance caught his attention.

Perhaps there he can find more information about the rules of the game.

Lin Yuhao manipulated the bed and limped towards the tavern, his heart filled with anticipation and unease.

A crooked plaque hangs at the entrance of the tavern, bearing three characters: "Zui Xian Ju" (醉仙居).

Lin Yuhao took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the tavern door...

A strong aroma of alcohol wafted towards him, mixed with various strange smells, causing him to frown.

The tavern was dimly lit, with only a few oil lamps casting a faint glow.

Several people dressed in different ways sat in the corner, talking in hushed tones.

Lin Yuhao glanced around and his gaze fell on a burly man with a full beard behind the bar.

"A glass of... ale," Lin Yuhao said softly.

The burly man glanced at him, then poured a glass of beer without a word and placed it in front of him.

Lin Yuhao picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and a bitter taste spread in his mouth.

He put down his glass, about to ask about the game, when suddenly a hoarse voice rang in his ear...

"Hey kid, you're new here, aren't you?"
