A bed that traverses countless worlds

As night falls, starlight, like scattered diamonds, adorns this ravaged land on the shattered continent.

Lin Yu was not swayed by this rare and beautiful scenery.

As the dawn broke through the darkness, Lin Yu gathered Kong Yang, Su Yao, Aisha, Alice, and the newly joined Bella, forming an elite team of six, and embarked on their journey to the abandoned mine.

They wandered among the ruins, their feet treading on rubble, the wind whistling in their ears, and a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

The entrance to the mine resembled the gaping maw of a monster, devouring the faint light.

As I walked in, it was dark all around, with only the torch in my hand casting a faint light that barely illuminated the path beneath my feet.

The walls were covered with cracks, and small stones would occasionally roll down, making a "bang" sound that made one's nerves tense.

"This place is eerie, like a horror movie set," Kong Yang muttered under his breath, rubbing his arms.

Su Yao looked around, her brows furrowed: "Be careful, this place doesn't feel very safe."

Tool shortage and manpower shortage are the two major problems they face.

A few rusty picks and a few oil lamps were all their possessions.

Everyone's faces were filled with worry; the scarcity of resources was like a mountain, making it hard to breathe.

"Let's look around first; we might find something unexpected," Lin Yu encouraged, his voice firm and strong.

They searched carefully, hoping to find some useful ores or other resources.

Just as they were preparing to venture deeper into the mine, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Yu? Here to search for treasure with your people?" a sarcastic voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the raider leader leading a group of his men at the mine entrance. They were carrying swords, knives, and clubs, and their faces wore ferocious smiles.

"You're really not afraid of death, coming to offer yourself up for slaughter again?" the raider leader said contemptuously. He felt confident that he was about to pull off a "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" performance.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense, with the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Lin Yu did not back down at all. He shielded Su Yao and the others behind him, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Hmph, you little shrimps and crabs dare to come looking for trouble with me?" Lin Yu sneered, a playful smile playing on his lips. His eyes were full of confidence, as if to say, "Come on, let's hurt each other!"

"Today, none of you will leave here alive!" The raider leader roared threateningly, brandishing his scimitar.

"With your fighting strength, you think you can wipe us out? You must be joking." Bella curled her lip, her tone full of disdain. She didn't think these weaklings who only knew how to talk tough had any strength to fight against them.

Just as a major battle was about to erupt, Lin Yu suddenly raised his hand, stopping everyone's movements. A strange smile appeared on his face: "Wait, everyone, don't rush to attack..."

"Oh ho, still so calm. Do you know you're about to die and are starting to play dumb?" The raider leader was clearly not expected Lin Yu to suddenly call a halt. He brandished his scimitar, his tone laced with mockery and disdain. "What, scared? Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might consider leaving you with a whole corpse."

Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with mockery. He looked around, cleared his throat, and said slowly, "Fighting and killing are so boring. How about we talk about a cooperation and make a fortune together? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Cooperate? With you? The sun must have risen in the west!" The raider leader burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and his henchmen behind him joined in the jeering and jeers.

“That’s right, cooperation!” Lin Yu ignored their mockery and continued, “This mine has limited resources. If we each go our own way, we’ll only end up hurting each other. Why don’t we join forces, mine the resources together, and then share them? Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?”

These words caused an uproar. Even Kong Yang and Su Yao looked at each other in surprise, clearly not expecting Lin Yu to resort to such a desperate measure. This move was simply outrageous!

The raider leader's smile froze. He hadn't expected Lin Yu to suddenly propose cooperation, and he was momentarily at a loss. This was completely out of his mind!

Is this kid trying to pull off some kind of "get something for nothing" trick?

"You little brat, don't try anything funny!" The raider leader squinted, his tone full of suspicion. "Who knows if you're trying to take advantage of us?"

Lin Yu shrugged, spread his hands, and looked indifferent. "I just want to rebuild my home as soon as possible. I don't have time to play dirty tricks with you. Believe it or not, we're not afraid of a fight anyway."

"This..." The raider leader hesitated. He looked at his men behind him, then at Lin Yu and the others, and began to consider in his mind. If they could really cooperate, it would not be bad. After all, he did not want to suffer losses on both sides. Wouldn't it be better if he could reap the benefits without lifting a finger?

"Alright, I agree!" The raider leader was finally persuaded by Lin Yu. He waved his hand and said boldly, "However, let me make this clear: if anyone dares to play tricks, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Don't worry, I hate playing dirty tricks!" A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips.

So, under Lin Yu's "persuasion", the two sides, who were originally at loggerheads, actually reached a cooperation agreement. They began to look for resources together, and the scene was very harmonious for a time. It was as if the conflict just now was just a farce.

The group began to divide the work and cooperate. Some were responsible for mining ore, some for transporting it, and some for guarding the area. Everything was in good order, and efficiency was greatly improved.

"I have to say, boss, that was a brilliant move!" Kong Yang couldn't help but give Lin Yu a thumbs up, his face full of admiration. "This operation turned the enemy into a wage earner; it was absolutely brilliant!"

Su Yao nodded, her eyes filled with admiration. "Brother Lin Yu, you're amazing! I admire you more and more!"

Lin Yu touched his nose and revealed a smug smile. There was nothing he could do; after all, he was a natural-born "wise man."

Just as everyone was busy at work, Alice suddenly exclaimed, "Look everyone, there seems to be something here!"

In a corner deep within the mine, a strange light shimmered, standing out brightly in the dim environment…

Following the light, the group cautiously approached and saw a pile of sparkling crystals, emitting a mesmerizing glow that practically blinded their titanium alloy eyes!

"Holy crap, we're rich!" Kong Yang exclaimed, his eyes shining, wishing he could pounce on the treasures and take them all for himself.

"This...this is too much!" Su Yao was also stunned, unable to believe her eyes.

These crystals contain powerful energy, which is a scarce resource they need to rebuild their homes.

Just as everyone was overjoyed, a strange noise suddenly came from deep within the mine, the ground began to shake violently, and rocks kept falling from above, creating a chaotic scene.

"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" the old craftsman cried out in terror.

"Retreat quickly!" Lin Yu made a decisive decision, urging everyone to leave immediately.

However, at that moment, a huge rock fell from the sky and blocked Alice's path.

"Alice, watch out!" Upon seeing this, Lin Yu rushed over without thinking and pushed Alice aside, but he himself was hit by the boulder and fell to the ground.

"Brother Lin Yu!" Su Yao exclaimed and rushed over to check on Lin Yu's injuries.

"I'm fine..." Lin Yu struggled to stand up, patted the dust off his clothes, but his face was a little pale.

Alice looked at Lin Yu, who gently patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look, demonstrating his masculine sense of security.

The group escaped the mine safely, and looking at the gradually collapsing mine behind them, they couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Although some tools were lost, a large amount of crystals were gained, making it undoubtedly a huge victory.

Back in the dilapidated castle, everyone carefully stored away the crystals, their faces beaming with joy.

With these resources, the reconstruction work can be accelerated.

However, Lin Yu couldn't be happy; he felt that something was wrong.

The mine collapsed too suddenly, and the mysterious energy source seemed to have become more unstable, which made him feel uneasy.

In the stillness of the night, Lin Yu stood by the castle window, gazing at the dark night sky in the distance, his brows furrowed.

He always felt that some danger was lurking nearby...

"Lin Yu, what are you looking at?" Su Yao's voice came from behind.

Lin Yu turned around, looking at Su Yao's concerned eyes, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the night seems unusually quiet tonight..." He paused, a barely perceptible hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, "Let's go, let's go see that dilapidated castle..."
