A bed that traverses countless worlds
Chapter 7: Choosing the Position of Village Chief and Displaying Extraordinary Abilities
Lin Yuhao admired himself in the broken mirror for a moment, and yes, he was still incredibly handsome.
He maneuvered the bed, slowly made his way to the center of the village, cleared his throat, and loudly announced, "I challenge for the position of village chief!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.
A moment later, a burst of laughter erupted.
Old Li, the wrinkled old village chief, shuffled out with his cane, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a fool: "Young Lin, are you still asleep? Someone lying in bed wants to be the village chief? Our newbie village has never had such a rule in hundreds of years!"
The villagers also started discussing it.
"Has Lin Yuhao gone mad?" "Does he think he's invincible just because he defeated a few weaklings?" "With his physique, he wants to be the village chief? That's laughable!"
A flood of doubts came, and Lin Yuhao felt immense pressure.
But he didn't back down. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible! Although I am disabled, I have the ability to lead the newbie village to prosperity!"
Old Li snorted coldly: "Fine, since you're so confident, then accept the challenge! The first test is to solve the village's water pollution problem!"
Water pollution has been a persistent problem in the starting village, and the villagers have tried various methods, all to no avail.
Lin Yuhao manipulated the bed to reach the water source, where he discovered that the source of pollution was a giant toad monster emitting a nauseating green light.
It continuously spews venom, polluting the surrounding water sources.
What's even more troublesome is that it's surrounded by a group of smaller monsters, who are watching it closely and protecting it.
Lin Yuhao skillfully maneuvered the bed to dodge the monsters' attacks, but the bed's movement speed was ultimately limited, and he was almost surrounded several times.
He frowned deeply; things couldn't go on like this, he had to think of a solution...
"System, is there any skill that allows me to teleport instantly?" Lin Yuhao asked in his mind.
The system's voice rang in his mind: "Ding! Host's needs detected. Recommended skill 'Spatial Jump', costing 1000 gold coins."
"1000 gold coins? Why don't you just rob someone!" Lin Yuhao felt a pang of heartache, but in order to complete the challenge, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and exchange for them.
"Space Jump!" Lin Yuhao silently recited the skill name...
Lin Yuhao silently recited the skill name, and a flash of white light appeared. He and the bed instantly disappeared from their original spot.
When it reappeared, it was already behind the toad monster!
"Ha, didn't expect that, did you!" Lin Yuhao smiled smugly, maneuvering the bed to slam hard into the toad monster's back.
With a loud "boom," the toad monster was knocked forward a few steps, and green venom gushed out.
"Croak!" The toad monster let out an angry roar, turned around, and revealed a fierce glint in its eyes.
It opened its blood-red maw, and a more concentrated stream of venom shot out, heading straight for Lin Yuhao.
Lin Yuhao reacted quickly, maneuvering the bed to dodge the attack with a swift movement.
"Is that all you've got?" Lin Yuhao scoffed. "Watch this, the ultimate invincible... bed slam attack!" He manipulated the bed, sending it hurtling like an arrow into the toad monster's belly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of impacts rang out, and the toad monster was forced to retreat repeatedly, green blood gushing from its mouth.
Enraged, the toad monster let out a sharp cry, and the surrounding monsters immediately charged towards Lin Yuhao like they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Damn, this toad monster can even call for underlings?" Lin Yuhao muttered, maneuvering the bed nimbly through the horde of monsters, dodging attacks while searching for the toad monster's weaknesses.
He discovered a faintly glowing green crystal on the toad monster's abdomen, which was likely its magic core.
Lin Yuhao was overjoyed and manipulated the bed to launch another attack, heading straight for the magic core.
The toad monster seemed to realize the danger and desperately twisted its body, trying to avoid the attack.
"Trying to run? No way!" Lin Yuhao sneered, maneuvering the bed to accelerate and slam it hard into the magic core.
With a crisp "crack," the magic core shattered instantly. The toad monster let out a shrill scream, and its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into a cloud of green smoke that dissipated into the air.
Seeing this, the surrounding monsters also lost their fighting ability and disappeared in wisps of black smoke.
Lin Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the water source that had regained its clarity, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
He maneuvered the bed, slowly returning it to the center of the village.
The villagers were all surprised to see Lin Yuhao return safely and to see that the water source had returned to its clear state.
Old Man Li stared wide-eyed at what he was seeing, unable to believe his eyes.
Lin Yuhao smiled slightly and said calmly, "Village Chief Li, do you think I still have the qualifications to challenge for the position of village chief?"
Old Li opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word... "This..."
Old Li stroked his beard, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "You lad... you've got some skills." The surrounding villagers erupted in cheers.
"Wow, Lin Yuhao! He actually took down the toad monster!" "I never thought he could be so fierce even while lying in bed!" "That move was absolutely amazing!" Hearing the praises around him, Lin Yuhao felt secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained calm: "Basic operation, nothing special."
Old Man Li coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back to himself.
"Although you've solved the water problem, this is only the first hurdle. Becoming the village chief won't be easy!" He paused, then posed the second challenge: "The starting village is currently experiencing a shortage of supplies. You need to gather enough supplies for the entire village to last a month within a single day! Only if you can do this will you be qualified to continue the challenge!"
The villagers gasped in shock.
This is an impossible task!
Resources are scarce around the starting village; even if you search the entire village from top to bottom, you still won't be able to gather enough supplies.
"That old guy is clearly deliberately making things difficult for me!" Lin Yuhao cursed inwardly, but his face remained calm and collected: "That's it? A piece of cake~"
He looked around, and the scene of the newbie village came into view: a few dilapidated thatched huts, a barren field, and a few ragged villagers...
These conditions are even worse than the basement he rented before he transmigrated!
Lin Yuhao stroked his chin, lost in thought.
A direct confrontation won't work; we need to find another way...
"System, same old routine, any good recommendations?" Lin Yuhao thought to himself.
The system's mechanical voice sounded: "Ding! Host's needs detected. Recommended item 'Treasure Basin', which can automatically generate various resources. Price: 9999 gold coins."
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?! Why don't you just rob a bank?!" Lin Yuhao almost jumped out of bed, but unfortunately he couldn't.
"Do you have anything cheaper?"
System: "Ding! Host's balance is insufficient. Recommended skill 'Turning Stone into Gold', which can turn stones into gold. Price: 998 gold coins. Limited time offer, don't miss it, or you'll have to wait another year!"
Lin Yuhao's eyelids twitched: "...Wait a minute, let me think about it." He cast his gaze towards the barren hill outside the village...
“Perhaps…” A mysterious smile played on his lips, “it’s time to show my true skills.” Lin Yuhao manipulated the bed, slowly moving it towards the hill…
"Old village chief, may I borrow your hoe?"
