A bed that traverses countless worlds

The water elemental princess nodded slightly and said softly, "Go, I will arrange for people to protect your safety."

Lin Yu controlled the magical bed, from which pale blue light shot out, and it slowly rose into the air, flying towards the Elemental Trial Grounds.

The trial grounds are located deep within the sacred land of the elves, in an ancient forest shrouded in thick fog.

As soon as he entered, Lin Yu felt a powerful sense of oppression, as if the air itself had become viscous.

The surrounding trees were twisted and grotesque, their shadows looming, and from time to time, eerie growls could be heard.

"Goodness, this trial ground is a bit like the underworld..." Lin Yu couldn't help but complain, "System, isn't the difficulty level a bit too high?"

The system responded emotionlessly: [The difficulty of the trial matches the host's level. Please do your best to complete the task.]

】

Lin Yu pursed his lips and continued to move the bed forward.

The trial involves collecting elemental crystals scattered throughout the forest and bringing them back to the sacred site.

It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to do.

This forest is not only full of dangerous monsters, but also full of strange traps and mechanisms.

"This isn't collecting elemental crystals, it's wilderness survival!" Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and skillfully maneuvered the bed to dodge flying poison arrows and falling rocks.

What was originally thought to be a trial for one person changed after Lin Yu collected the first elemental crystal.

System notification: A cooperative mission has been triggered. Please team up with other trial participants to complete it.

"There's such a thing?" Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was probably arranged by the water elemental princess.

Just then, a gentle voice came: "Lin Yu, do you need any help?"

Lin Yu turned his head and saw it was Ellie.

She wore a long, emerald-green dress and carried an exquisite bow and arrow, looking like a fairy from the forest.

"Ellie? What are you doing here?" Lin Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

Ellie smiled slightly: "I'm here to help you complete the trial."

The other trial participants started whispering amongst themselves when they saw that Ellie had actually teamed up with Lin Yu.

"What incredible luck did this human kid have to get Ellie to help him?" a burly elf whispered.

Another elf sneered, "Hmph, they probably used some underhanded methods!"

Ellie seemed oblivious to the surrounding chatter. She walked to Lin Yu's bedside and whispered, "Let's go."

Lin Yu nodded and maneuvered the bed to move forward alongside Ellie.

An elf quietly approached the fire elf elder and whispered, "Elder, look..."

The fire spirit elder's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's wait and see."

With Ellie's addition, the difficulty of the trial dropped dramatically.

She is an expert in the various terrains and mechanisms of the forest, and can always resolve crises at critical moments.

Those elves who originally wanted to see Lin Yu make a fool of himself were utterly dumbfounded.

"This kid is so lucky! He actually got to team up with Ellie!"

"Hmph, I think he's just a pretty boy who only knows how to rely on women!" Several elves gossiped sourly, their jealousy burning fiercely.

"How about... we cause them some trouble?" suggested a weasel-faced elf.

How to make things worse?

"Hehe, the forest is full of magical beasts, we can..."

So, the elves secretly set to work, using some special scents to lure several ferocious magical beasts toward Lin Yu and Ellie.

"Roar!" A deafening roar rang out, and a huge bear rushed out of the dense forest, heading straight for Lin Yu's bed.

"Watch out!" Ellie exclaimed.

Lin Yu remained completely calm, maneuvering the bed with a graceful drift to dodge the giant bear's attack.

"That's it?" Lin Yu sneered. "System, give me a buff!"

The magical bed instantly shone brightly, and Lin Yu felt his whole body filled with power.

"Watch this, the laser cannon under the bed!"

Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from under the bed, striking the giant bear squarely in the chest.

The giant bear let out a mournful howl, collapsed to the ground, and vanished in a ball of white light.

Lin Yu easily dealt with the other monsters as well.

"Wow, Lin Yu, you're amazing!" Ellie's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Basic operation, don't make a fuss (basic operation, don't be surprised)." Lin Yu smiled faintly, but was secretly overjoyed.

Lin Yu easily resolved several waves of "accidents," leaving the mischievous elves dumbfounded.

"This...how is this possible?"

"How come his bed is so amazing?"

"Could he... be a hidden master?"

Just then, Lin Yu and Ellie arrived at the location of the last elemental crystal.

However, this place is protected by a powerful magic circle.

“It seems we’ll need to join forces this time,” Ellie said.

"No problem." Lin Yu nodded.

Ellie began chanting a spell, while Lin Yu manipulated the bed, ready to provide support at any time.

"Wait a minute!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Then the Fire Elf Elder walked over with several elves.

"What do you want?" Ellie asked warily.

The Flame Elf Elder looked at Lin Yu with a complicated expression. "Lin Yu, I know you are very strong, but this magic circle is not something you can break..." Before the Flame Elf Elder could finish speaking, Lin Yu interrupted him: "Elder, have you forgotten that my bed is not an ordinary bed?" He blinked and manipulated a mechanical arm to extend from under the bed, the tip of which shimmered with a strange light.

"Want to learn about high technology?"

Ellie chuckled; these humans are really interesting.

The Flame Elf Elder and the other elves looked bewildered. Could this bed really transform?

Lin Yu controlled the mechanical arm, aimed it at the core of the magic circle, and with a whoosh, an energy ray hit it precisely.

The magic circle shook violently, emitting a piercing buzzing sound, before shattering with a deafening crash.

"Done!" Lin Yu snapped his fingers, elegantly maneuvering the bed to float next to the Elemental Crystal and pocketing it.

"This..." The Flame Elf Elder was dumbfounded. This was too easy!

He had prepared a whole bunch of persuasive words, but now he didn't need to use them at all.

The other elves were even more astonished; this human bed was simply a marvel!

After completing the trial, Lin Yu and Ellie rested on a wide-open grassy area.

Ellie took out a clean silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from Lin Yu's forehead.

"Lin Yu, you're amazing," she said softly, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Looking at Ellie so close to him and smelling her faint fragrance, Lin Yu's heart began to beat faster.

"Ahem, so-so, third in the world," he said, feigning modesty, but he didn't dare to look Ellie in the eye.

"Pfft~" Ellie chuckled softly. Humans are always so humorous.

An ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two, and Lin Yu felt his cheeks getting hot.

The Flame Elf Elder watched this scene from afar and nodded slightly.

It seems this human is far more capable than he imagined.

Lin Yu seemed to have completed the trial with ease, but he was constantly thinking about the internal conflicts among the elemental spirits.

He always felt that there seemed to be a larger force controlling everything behind the scenes.

During the trial, he caught some clues, but they were not clear enough.

He knew there was more to this than met the eye...

Lin Yu manipulated the bed back to the sacred land, where the water elemental princess was already waiting for him.

"Congratulations, Lin Yu, you have successfully completed the trial." She said with a smile, but a subtle, profound meaning flashed in her eyes.

Lin Yu smiled faintly, "Thank you, Your Highness." He turned his head to look at a corner, where a dark shadow seemed to flash by.

“Your Highness, there is something else I would like to ask you…” Lin Yu said meaningfully.
