A bed that traverses countless worlds

"Little boy, come here, I have something to tell you..." Old Man Li stroked his beard, his eyes scanning Lin Yuhao from head to toe like a scanner, making Lin Yuhao feel uneasy.

"If you want to survive on my turf, just killing a scorpion isn't enough. If you want more resources, you'll have to show some real skills!"

Upon hearing that there was hope, Lin Yuhao immediately perked up.

"Grandpa Village Chief, just give the order, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"

"Stop flattering me," Old Man Li snorted. "There's an old grave at the east end of the village with a treasure hidden inside. If you can bring it back, you'll pass the test."

An old grave?

Lin Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. Why did the style of this scene suddenly become so strange?

But we'll give it our all for the upgrade!

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Old Li handed him a tattered sheepskin map.

"This old tomb is full of traps and mechanisms. It's easy to go in but hard to get out. Have you thought it through?"

"Fortune favors the bold!" Lin Yuhao took the map, thinking to himself that there was definitely more than just treasure in this old tomb; there might even be hidden quests, experience points, gold coins, and the like. Just thinking about it was exciting!

He manipulated the magical bed, bumping along the way until he arrived at the entrance to the old tomb.

The place was gloomy and chilling, and the surrounding trees looked like claws of a demon.

As soon as he stepped into the tomb, he heard a "crack" and the ground collapsed, causing Lin Yuhao to fall down with his bed.

"Damn! This is such a rip-off!" Lin Yuhao complained. Luckily, the bed was sturdy enough that it didn't fall apart.

Once he regained his balance, he found himself in a huge underground space.

The eerie green will-o'-the-wisps all around cast shadowy images of the murals on the walls, making them appear to depict ancient sacrificial scenes.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and several blurry figures appeared in front of Lin Yuhao.

These figures, dressed in ancient attire and wielding various weapons, rushed towards him with mournful cries.

"Holy crap, there really is a ghost!" Lin Yuhao was startled and quickly manipulated the bed to dodge.

These ghostly figures were extremely fast and had high attack power, causing Lin Yuhao's health to drop rapidly.

"No, I have to think of something." Lin Yuhao dodged the attacks while observing his surroundings.

Suddenly, he noticed something glittering in the corner.

"What is that?" Lin Yuhao moved the bed closer and found that it was a mirror.

"Could it be..." Lin Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted into the mirror, "Open Sesame!"

Of course, nothing happened.

"Uh... System, how do I use this thing?"

System: "Ding! Special item 'Illusion Mirror' detected. Use this item to break the illusion."

"So that's how it is!" Lin Yuhao picked up the mirror and looked it at the ghostly figures.

The ghostly figure touched the mirror light, let out a scream, and then melted away like ice and snow.

"Haha, you little punks, I can handle you!" Lin Yuhao laughed smugly.

Continuing on, he found a stone slab on the ground with some strange symbols carved on it.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Yuhao was pondering when he suddenly heard a voice from behind him: "You...who are you?"

Lin Yuhao turned around and saw a woman in a white dress standing behind him, looking at him with surprise.

"Beautiful lady, who are you?" Lin Yuhao asked.

"I...I am the guardian spirit of this place..." the woman said timidly.

"Guardian spirit? So, you're an ally?" Lin Yuhao's eyes lit up.

The woman nodded.

"Great! Do you know how to get out?"

The woman shook her head, then pointed to the stone slab on the ground and said, "You need to solve this riddle..."

Lin Yuhao was completely overwhelmed by the complex symbols.

"This...this is too difficult..."

The woman smiled gently, "I can help you..."

She stepped forward, extended her slender hand, pointed to the symbols on the stone slab, and began to explain.

As she explained, Lin Yuhao gradually understood the meaning of these symbols.

"So that's how it is..." Lin Yuhao suddenly realized.

"Now, can you solve the riddle?" the woman asked softly.

Lin Yuhao nodded, then reached out to touch the symbols on the stone slab...

"Wait!" The woman suddenly grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuhao looked at the woman in confusion. Her hands were soft and cold, which made his heart flutter.

"This mechanism... is very dangerous..." The woman bit her lip lightly, a hint of worry in her eyes. "You... you have to be careful..."

Lin Yuhao felt a surge of warmth in his heart; this girl actually cares about him quite a bit!

He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm lucky and I won't die!" With that, he resolutely pressed the symbol on the stone slab.

Rumbling--

A sudden tremor shook the ground, and the stone slab slowly sank, revealing a dark hole.

"Wow, there really is a mechanism!" Lin Yuhao rubbed his hands excitedly. "Let's go down and take a look!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed Lin Yuhao and jumped into the cave.

The cave was even darker and damper than the one above, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.

Lin Yuhao carefully maneuvered the magical bed, moving forward cautiously, afraid of triggering any traps.

Suddenly, several bats swooped down from the cave ceiling, emitting piercing screams.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death!" Lin Yuhao quickly maneuvered the bed to dodge.

Although these bats are not very powerful, they are extremely fast and numerous, making them difficult to defend against.

"System, do you have any area-of-effect (AOE) skills to clear out the mobs?" Lin Yuhao asked in his mind.

"Ding! Host's needs detected. 'Bedside Sweep' skill activated!"

Suddenly, several mechanical arms emerged from under the bed, sucking up the surrounding bats like vacuum cleaners and then grinding them into powder with a "crunch crunch crunch" sound.

"Amazing!" Lin Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This system is truly powerful!

After clearing out the smaller monsters along the way, Lin Yuhao and the woman finally arrived at the depths of the cave.

There is a huge stone coffin here, with strange runes carved on the lid.

"Is this the treasure?" Lin Yuhao's heart stirred, and he manipulated the bed to move closer to the stone coffin.

Just then, the woman suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Don't move!" Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. "It's...dangerous here..."

Just as Lin Yuhao was about to ask what was going on, he suddenly felt a powerful aura emanating from the stone coffin.

click-

The lid of the sarcophagus slowly opened...

The stone coffin was opened, and a surge of black energy erupted out, condensing into a hideous monster.

This guy is three meters tall, with bulging muscles, and he's carrying a huge bone axe. He's definitely not someone to mess with.

"Holy crap! A boss battle!" Lin Yuhao exclaimed, quickly maneuvering the bed backward.

"Protect me!" The woman was terrified and hid behind Lin Yuhao, trembling.

"Don't be afraid, little sister, I've got your back!" Lin Yuhao said, but his heart was pounding.

This monster has an incredibly strong aura; it's far more powerful than any of the smaller monsters we've encountered before.

The monster roared and swung its bone axe at Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao quickly maneuvered the bed to dodge, the bone axe grazing the edge of the bed and flying past, creating a gust of wind.

"That was close!" Lin Yuhao wiped away a cold sweat. If he had been hit by that blow, he would have been crippled if not killed.

The monster, having missed its first attack, became even more ferocious and launched a series of attacks.

Lin Yuhao maneuvered the bed left and right, barely dodging the attack.

"No, this can't go on. We have to think of something." Lin Yuhao dodged while observing the monster's attack patterns.

He discovered that although the monster had high attack power, it was relatively slow and its attack methods were rather limited.

"I've got it!" Lin Yuhao thought to himself and moved the bed to the center of the cave, where there was a huge stone pillar.

He maneuvered the bed around the stone pillar, dodging the monster's attacks while also observing his surroundings.

Suddenly, he noticed a mechanism at the top of the stone pillar.

"System, scan that mechanism."

"Ding! 'Falling Rock Trap' detected."

"A rockfall trap? Hehe, this is going to be interesting." Lin Yuhao's lips curled into a wicked smile.

He moved the bed closer to the stone pillar and then activated the mechanism.

The rocks on the cave ceiling began to loosen, and huge stones fell from the sky, crashing down on the monster.

"Roar—" The monster was hit by falling rocks and let out a painful roar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yuhao manipulated the mechanical arm under the bed and unleashed a barrage of blows on the monster.

"Let's see how arrogant you are!"

Under the combined attack of falling rocks and the mechanical arm, the monster's health rapidly decreased.

"Almost there, almost there!" Lin Yuhao shouted excitedly.

Finally, the monster let out a defiant roar and collapsed to the ground.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the test and receiving the following rewards: 1000 experience points, 100 gold coins, 100 reputation points, and the special item 'Guardian Spirit's Blessing'."

"Haha, we won!" Lin Yuhao jumped off the bed excitedly and hugged the woman next to him.

"Girl, thanks to you, otherwise I would be done for this time."

The woman blushed slightly and gently pushed him away. "You...it's good that you're alright..."

Upon returning to the starting village, Lin Yuhao received a warm welcome from the villagers.

Old Man Li kept his promise and gave him a generous reward.

Looking at the distant, mist-shrouded mountain peaks, Lin Yuhao's heart stirred. "System, prepare to depart..."
