A bed that traverses countless worlds

As the light faded, Lin Yu and Kong Yang found themselves standing before a magnificent city.

The towering city walls loomed like a giant beast, the vermilion city gates were tightly closed, heavily guarded, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.

"Good heavens, this city wall must be ten stories high! Did people in ancient times roll it up like this?" Kong Yang looked up, his neck aching.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "It seems we've traveled to an ancient dynasty. I just wonder which one."

Upon entering the city, the rows of shops lining the streets and the bustling crowds dazzled them.

The cries of vendors and the laughter of children intertwine to create a unique symphony of everyday life.

"This atmosphere is amazing! It's so much better than our shabby rented room!" Kong Yang rubbed his hands excitedly, wishing he could rush into the crowd and experience it for himself.

Lin Yu remained vigilant.

"To gain a foothold in this world, one must first meet the emperor," Lin Yu pondered.

He decided to try diplomacy first, then resort to force, and seek the emperor's protection.

However, their plan was thwarted by the general.

This powerful general viewed Lin Yu as a potential threat and would not allow anyone to challenge his authority.

"What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to see the Emperor? They don't even know their own limitations!" The general's men arrogantly blocked their way.

The first confrontation between Lin Yu and the General was highly charged.

"What does the general mean by this?" Lin Yu asked calmly, but his tone was sharp.

"I don't want to waste my breath on you. If you know what's good for you, get out of the capital right now!" The general was arrogant and showed no respect for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu knew that the Great General was not easy to deal with, but he did not want to back down.

His eyes were resolute, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "General, you underestimate me, Lin Yu."

"Oh? What other skills do you have?" The general smiled contemptuously, as if he had heard a joke.

"I am not very talented, but I know a little..." Lin Yu paused deliberately, and took out a strangely shaped piece of metal from his pocket, "Strange skills and ingenious crafts."

The metal block in Lin Yu's hand was a miniature projector he had brought from the modern world.

He performed a series of mysterious operations, and suddenly a series of pictures appeared on the wall, which were ancient siege weapons that he had reconstructed based on historical records.

"This is... a catapult? A siege ladder? A siege hammer?" Everyone present was shocked. They had heard of the power of these machines, but they had never seen such detailed blueprints.

The general's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Lin Yu to have this trick up his sleeve.

Lin Yu pointed to the blueprints and spoke eloquently, explaining the structure and usage of each instrument, as well as how to improve them to unleash greater power.

His modern military knowledge is simply a game-changer in this era.

The palace is currently facing a major problem: the drainage system is malfunctioning, causing flooding during the rainy season and leaving the palace in a mess.

A group of old scholars studied it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

Seeing this, Lin Yu chuckled inwardly. He could fix this thing with his eyes closed.

He volunteered to give the emperor and his ministers a vivid "physics lesson" using modern drainage system blueprints.

Everyone was confused, but the final result was that the palace's drainage system was indeed fixed!

Now, Lin Yu was truly famous in the palace.

The emperor was overjoyed and immediately bestowed upon Lin Yu a great deal of gold and silver jewelry.

Lin Yu was secretly pleased; this display of swagger was absolutely perfect!

That evening, the palace held a grand banquet to celebrate the successful repair of the drainage system.

The air was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the rustling of hair, as glasses clinked and toasts were exchanged, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

During the meal, Lin Yu's gaze was drawn to a woman.

She wore a light purple palace dress, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and every gesture she made exuded a noble and elegant temperament.

This woman was none other than Princess Yu Yan of the current dynasty.

Yu Yan also noticed Lin Yu, a man who was neither humble nor arrogant at the banquet and spoke with great eloquence, which aroused her curiosity.

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly through the air.

"Young Master Lin, I've long admired your name." Yu Yan, holding a wine cup, gracefully walked up to Lin Yu.

"Your Highness is too kind," Lin Yu smiled slightly and raised his cup in acknowledgment.

"Young Master Lin's brilliant plan today is truly admirable." Yu Yan took a sip of wine, her eyes sparkling.

"It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning," Lin Yu said modestly.

The two chatted happily, and those around them could sense the subtle atmosphere between them.

In the distance, the general, his face grim, watched Lin Yu chatting and laughing, his fists clenched tightly...

"Hmph, what's there to be so smug about? This is just the beginning!"

The hustle and bustle of the banquet gradually subsided, and night enveloped the palace.

Lin Yu and Kong Yang returned to their temporary residence, appearing calm on the surface, but their hearts were already churning with turmoil.

"It seems this general has his eye on us." Kong Yang said with a worried expression.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." Lin Yu lay on the bed, his tone relaxed, as if everything was under his control.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a whooshing sound rang out!

Several arrows shot towards their room.

Kong Yang exclaimed in surprise, but Lin Yu reacted quickly, manipulating the bed to move instantly and dodge the attack.

"Wow, you're serious!" Kong Yang was still in shock, but Lin Yu laughed, "A mere trick, and you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert?"

In the following days, the general tried every means to harass Lin Yu.

One moment it's "accidentally" spilling dirty water, the next it's "mistakenly" entering the room.

Lin Yu always managed to defuse the situation easily, and even managed to turn the tables on the soldiers, making the people in the palace laugh at him.

"This Lin Yu is something else!"

"The general looked like a clown in front of him."

The palace servants' gossip made the general's face grow increasingly grim.

He decided to increase his stakes and send out a team of elite soldiers to teach Lin Yu a "lesson".

Surprisingly, Lin Yu lowered his guard completely when faced with fully armed soldiers.

"General, please calm down! I have no desire for power; I only wish to live a peaceful life." He looked terrified, as if he had truly been frightened out of his wits.

The general was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "I thought you were so capable, but you're just a coward!" He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to retreat, his contempt for Lin Yu growing even stronger.

However, just as the general lowered his guard, Lin Yu began his secret operation.

He secretly investigated the general's background, collected evidence of his crimes, and prepared to deliver a fatal blow.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." A cold smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips.

After establishing himself in the palace, Lin Yu realized that going it alone was not a long-term solution.

He needs to build his own power base to survive in this perilous world.

He looked around, his gaze falling on the palace servants coming and going, and he made a plan in his mind.

"Kong Yang," Lin Yu said in a low voice, "it's time to recruit soldiers and horses..."
