You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

After leaving the ruins of the Storm Knight, the hero stood on the edge of the floating island and looked at the distant sky.

Ahead, several floating islands were still floating in the air, each island shrouded by different elemental forces - fire, water, earth, light and darkness.

This is the world's lost trial ground. Each island hides an elemental core, and they are the key to unlocking the secrets of the world.

The narrator's voice sounded faintly: "Brave man, you have passed the trial of the storm. Now, you must continue to move forward."

The brave man held the Heart of Storm tightly in his hand, feeling its faint pulse.

"How many more trials await me?"

The narrator sighed softly: "There are at least four more islands, each of which tests your different abilities... You must gather all the elemental cores before you can reach the final temple."

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly became excited——

[Holy crap! Isn't this the classic RPG Trial of the Four Elements?!]

[Hero: Why am I forced to take four exams just because I wanted to go to the temple?!]

[This game is so rich in content, I look forward to the challenges ahead! ]

The brave man did not hesitate. He took a deep breath and stepped into the portal leading to the next island.

The Second Floating Island: Challenge of the Blazing Abyss
The light of transmission flickered, and the brave man's body was wrapped in a blue magic beam. The next second, he was standing on an island engulfed in flames.

This is the blazing abyss.

The surrounding ground was covered with lava, the air was filled with a burning smell, and one could even see red meteors streaking across the sky.

The narrator's voice trembled slightly: "Be careful, the temperature here is extremely high. Ordinary people can't survive here at all."

The brave man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared sharply at the road ahead.

In the center of the island, a huge gate made of flames stands quietly, with a burning red crystal inlaid in the center of the gate.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a blazing flame erupted from the ground—

"Roar--!"

A huge figure slowly emerged from the flames—

Flame Guardian·Fire Dragon.

Trial of the Fire Dragon, Dance of Flame
The fire dragon's eyes were as hot as lava. It slowly raised its head, and with every breath it exhaled, the air was burned into a distorted shape.

Its voice resounded like thunder across the island—

"Mortal, if you wish to pass this place, you must prove your courage!"

The brave man took a deep breath and raised the sword of life without hesitation.

"I won't back down."

"Then let's fight!"

The fire dragon suddenly spread its wings, and in an instant, the temperature of the entire island suddenly rose, lava splashed everywhere, and flaming meteors fell from the sky!
The brave man quickly rolled over to avoid it, then swung his sword and slashed out a blue sword energy, heading straight for the chest of the fire dragon!
"Shh-!"

The sword energy cut through the air, but at the moment it was about to hit the dragon, its body suddenly turned into flames and dissipated in an instant!

"what?!"

The narrator's voice said hurriedly: "Be careful, its body is not a physical entity, but pure fire energy!"

The audience in the live broadcast room also exploded——

[Holy crap?! This boss is actually elemental?!]

[Brave Man: I killed a lonely creature?!]

[The planning team is too ruthless. This battle is too difficult! ]

The hero frowned, quickly analyzing the battle situation.

"If it is the embodiment of fire, then I must find its core..."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the magic flowing in the air.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was a weak energy fluctuation in the heart of the fire dragon!

"found it!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, gripped the sword of life tightly, and rushed towards the fire dragon!

The final slash extinguishes the flames!
The fire dragon sensed the danger and suddenly opened its mouth, breathing out a breath of blazing flames straight towards the brave!

"boom--!"

The flames swept everything, and the entire island was covered in crimson light!

However, at the moment the flames came——

The brave man suddenly jumped up, and the sword of life in his hand burst out with dazzling blue light!

"cut!!"

The sword blade cut through the flames and pierced straight into the core of the fire dragon!

"Pfft——!"

The moment the sword blade pierced the core, the body of the fire dragon suddenly solidified, and then the entire body began to crack, turning into countless flame fragments floating in the air.

Its voice echoed in the air—

"You... passed the trial..."

The live broadcast room exploded instantly——

[Holy crap! This fight is so exciting!]

【The hero's strength is getting stronger and stronger! 】

【The boss battle in this game is really exciting! 】

Heart of Fire, a new key

When the fire dragon completely dissipated, a red light slowly fell and turned into a burning crystal - the Heart of Flame.

The hero took the crystal and felt the powerful energy contained within it.

The narrator's voice sounded faintly: "This flaming heart will guide you to the next trial site."

The brave man took a deep breath and looked up at the distant sky.

At the end of the flames, he vaguely saw the outline of the third floating island - there, new challenges awaited.

"There are three more islands... I won't stop."

He gripped the two elemental cores tightly, walked towards the teleportation gate, and headed towards the next island.

The journey of destiny continues.

The brave man stood in front of the teleportation array, holding the Heart of Storm and the Heart of Flame tightly in his hands. The two elemental cores emitted a faint glow, as if responding to some ancient call.

The test of wind, the trial of fire, he has passed the challenge of two floating islands.

However, the road ahead is still long, and the power of the elements has not yet been fully gathered.

He looked up into the distance—the third floating island was quietly suspended above the clouds. The entire island was shrouded in thick fog, and water could be faintly seen flowing in the air, as if the entire island was made of water elements.

The narrator's voice sounded faintly: "Brave man, the next island is the Water Ruins. You must obtain the Water Heart there."

The brave man took a deep breath and stepped into the teleportation array. With a flash of light, he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Water Island, Sleeping Ruins
When the brave man opened his eyes again, he was already standing in an ancient ruin surrounded by water.

It is surrounded by a blue lake, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the brilliance of the sky, and a huge temple stands quietly in the middle of the lake, like a sleeping relic.

The air was filled with a moist scent, and a waterfall in the distance flowed slowly, emitting a light blue magical glow.

The barrage in the live broadcast room rolled in——

[Holy crap! This scene is so beautiful!]

[The atmosphere of the water island is amazing, like a mythical world! ]

[Hero: Finally, it's not the fiery hell anymore. It looks cool here!]

The brave man walked slowly forward, crossed the floating bridge on the lake, and approached the center of the temple.

However, just as he was about to step into the temple—

"Crack——!"

The lake suddenly shook, and a huge column of water shot up into the sky!

A figure slowly emerged from the water column—the Guardian of Water, the Ice-Blue Colossus.

Trial of Water, Challenge of the Ice-Blue Colossus
The body of the ice-blue giant is made of pure water elements, and deep blue magical energy flows in its transparent body. Its eyes are like the deep sea, with indifference and majesty.

It slowly raised its hand, and its deep voice echoed in the ruins—

"Mortal, if you wish to obtain the Heart of Water, you must prove your wisdom and patience."

The brave man frowned slightly, gripped the sword of life tightly, and prepared to fight.

However, the ice-blue giant did not launch an attack directly. Instead, it slowly raised its hand, and nine crystal pillars suddenly emerged above the lake, each of which was engraved with ancient runes.

The narrator's voice said in a low voice: "Brave man, this is not a simple battle, but a test of wisdom."

The brave man carefully observed the crystal pillars and found that their arrangement seemed to hide some kind of pattern.

The audience in the live broadcast room also began to analyze——

[Wait, this looks like some kind of puzzle?]

[Hero: I thought it was a boss battle, but it turned out to be a high-IQ puzzle?!]

[This game is so well designed, every trial is different! ]

Solving the Mystery of Water
The hero slowly approached the crystal pillars and reached out to touch one of them.

In an instant, the crystal pillar suddenly lit up, and a blue light connected to another crystal pillar.

The narrator's voice sounded faintly: "This is a puzzle of magical flow. You must connect all the crystal pillars in the correct order to activate the water core."

The hero nodded and began to carefully observe the arrangement of the crystal pillars.

The direction of water flow, the arrangement of runes, the refraction of light...

He took a deep breath and began to try to connect the crystal pillars. With every touch, the light would extend and form flowing streams.

however--

"Om-!"

When he connected it incorrectly, the crystal column suddenly went out and the whole puzzle was reset!

The audience in the live broadcast room exploded instantly——

[Ah... we actually have to start all over again?!]

[Hero: I just wanted to fight, but I was forced to solve puzzles?!]

[This game is so hardcore! Who would have thought that the boss battle is a puzzle?!]

The brave man did not give up. He carefully analyzed the connection method of each water flow, and finally after the fifth attempt -

"Om-!"

All the crystal pillars lit up at the same time, a blue magic circle emerged in the center of the lake, and the body of the ice-blue giant became transparent.

Its voice was filled with a hint of relief: "Mortal, you have proven your wisdom... The Heart of Water shall be yours."

Heart of Water, a New Key
The magic circle in the center of the lake slowly rotated, and a pure blue crystal slowly fell - the Heart of Water.

The brave man reached out his hand, caught the Heart of Water, and felt the mysterious energy flowing within it.

The narrator's voice said quietly, "Three elemental cores, your power is gradually awakening."

The audience in the live broadcast room were instantly excited——

[Holy crap! I got the third core!]

【The hero's strength is getting stronger and stronger! 】

[The plot of this game progresses so smoothly, I love it! ]

The brave man took a deep breath and looked up at the distant sky.

At the end of the water ruins, he vaguely saw the outline of the fourth floating island - it was an island covered by earth and vines, where new trials awaited.

He gripped the three elemental cores tightly, walked towards the teleportation array, and headed towards the next island.

The brave warrior, clutching the Heart of Storm, the Heart of Flame, and the Heart of Water, stood at the center of the teleportation array. The three elemental cores radiated different radiances, reflecting each other as if answering some ancient call.

He looked up into the distance and saw the fourth floating island quietly suspended in the sky.

The entire island is covered with vines and ancient trees, like a floating forest.

The air was filled with the aroma of earth and grass, and in the distance you could even see waterfalls cascading through the sky, spilling into the clouds below.

The narrator's voice said quietly, "Brave man, the next island is the trial ground of the earth."

The brave man took a deep breath and stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation.

Island of Earth, Whisper of the Forest
The light of transmission flickered, and the brave man's footsteps landed on the soft grass.

Surrounded by lush forests, sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, and the sound of birdsong echoes in my ears.

However, this forest is no ordinary forest—

The trees were several times taller than normal, and the vines moved slowly in the air, as if they had life.

The audience in the live broadcast room was instantly amazed——

[Oh my god! This place is so beautiful!]

[The atmosphere of this island is amazing, like a holy land for elves! ]

[Brave Man: Finally arrived at a place that is not so dangerous! ]

The brave man walked slowly forward, feeling the pulse of the earth.

However, just as he was about to go deep into the forest—

“Long——!”

The ground suddenly shook, the trees in front slowly parted, and a huge figure emerged from the soil!

Guardian of the Earth - Ancient Tree Spirit

It was a huge monster made of rocks and tree roots, ten meters tall, with arms made of thick tree trunks and a core shining with green light embedded in its chest.

It slowly opened its eyes, its gaze deep and majestic.

Its voice was as deep as thunder, echoing in the forest—

"Mortal, if you wish to obtain the Heart of the Earth, you must prove your endurance and your protective heart."

The brave man holds the sword of life tightly, his eyes fixed.

"Then let me accept this trial!"

The battle of protection, resonating with the forest
The giant ancient tree spirit slowly raised its palm, and in an instant, the vines around it suddenly grew and turned into countless vine whips, attacking the brave man!
"Shh-!"

The brave man retreated quickly and swung his sword to cut off the attacking vines, but the vines seemed to have life and quickly wrapped around him, trying to trap him!
The narrator's voice said hurriedly: "Brave man, you can't just think about attacking, you must resonate with this forest!"

The audience in the live broadcast room also analyzed——

[Wait, this isn't a head-on fight?!]

[The hero can't just chop down the guardian, but must understand the power of the earth?!]

[This game's boss battles are incredibly deep! ]

The hero took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to feel the pulse of the forest.

The sound of wind blowing through leaves, the echo of roots crisscrossing underground, the flow of life on this land...

He suddenly realized that this trial was not just a battle, but a test of protection and resonance.

The earth's approval, the completion of the trial

The brave man slowly put away his sword and stood quietly there, relaxing his body and feeling the energy of the earth.

He slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the ground.

In an instant, the surrounding vines stopped attacking and wrapped around him, as if responding to his presence.

The ancient tree spirit looked at the brave man, was silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

"You have understood the will of the earth... The heart of the earth will be yours."

Its chest slowly cracked open, and an emerald green crystal floated out and fell into the palm of the hero.

Heart of the Earth, the trial is complete. (End of this chapter)
