Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 937 897: New System Space Function

After tucking the bear paw into the System Space, Lin Yi was instantly aware of its location within that space.

He then focused his consciousness, projecting it into the System Space, and located the bear paw.

Following this, Lin Yi began to ponder its analysis.

A question formed in his mind: could this delicacy be poisonous?

As his thoughts breached the System Space, an immediate response was generated.

To be precise, a mechanical voice echoed within his mind, the voice of his system.

Yet, this particular utterance felt notably more rigid than the system's typical pronouncements.

From this subtle difference, Lin Yi deduced that he wasn't directly interacting with an intelligent system, nor was it a spontaneous awakening of his system. Instead, it was a pre-programmed response, a mere setting within the system.

More accurately, it was a system entirely devoid of sentience or the capacity for independent thought.

"Analysis complete: no harmful toxins detected within this bear paw. Consumption is deemed safe."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yi's lips curled into a slight smile, a wave of unexpected joy washing over him.

He truly hadn't anticipated any response from the system, nor had he imagined the System Space possessed the capability to detect toxins in food.

This particular functionality was nothing short of astonishing, exceeding his wildest imaginings.

Considering this was his maiden attempt at such an inquiry, it meant he had uncovered a novel application and ability of the System Space.

This revelation hinted at the possibility that the System Space harbored numerous secrets yet unknown to him.

It appeared his path forward would be a lengthy one, filled with much to uncover about the true nature of the System Space.

Heh, it was rather amusing to contemplate possessing this artifact for over a year and still not fully comprehending its myriad uses.

Were this fact to become public knowledge, it would surely be a source of great mirth; not only regarding the System Space, but Lin Yi himself acknowledged his limited understanding of the system as a whole.

It was no exaggeration to assert that Lin Yi's knowledge was confined to what the system itself permitted him to know.

As for any details beyond that, well, Lin Yi had yet to unravel them.

Presently, however, this newfound function represented a significant power boost, offering tangible benefits to Lin Yi.

With this ability, Lin Yi could now partake in any meal from any era without a second thought.

The nagging worry of being poisoned would become a thing of the past.

After all, what poison could possibly elude the system's detection?

As long as the System Space performed its scan, and it could detect even the faintest trace of harmful toxins, Lin Yi would be instantly alerted.

This development not only negated the need for the traditional poison-testing eunuchs.

It offered a genuine, personal safeguard for Lin Yi.

Even with dedicated eunuchs meticulously testing each dish, one had to consider the sheer variety of poisons that existed.

Many potent toxins were not instantly discernible.

This meant that some poisons might not incapacitate the testing eunuch immediately, nor manifest apparent symptoms. Nevertheless, this did not preclude their delayed, insidious effect on Lin Yi after he consumed the same food.

It was entirely plausible that the testing eunuch would remain unharmed initially, only for Lin Yi to suffer poisoning later.

Given that Lin Yi's ascension to the throne was not through entirely conventional means, it was only natural that many harbored resentment and harbored intentions to end his life.

Such attempts were therefore highly probable.

But now, armed with this remarkable capability from the System Space, Lin Yi could finally alleviate his anxieties regarding the food he consumed.

It was worth noting that his unexpected rise to power was largely indebted to the former Prince Ning.

Without Prince Ning's presence and strategic influence, Lin Yi could not have directly orchestrated the current king's demise and seized the throne; such a bold move would have been inconceivable.

For instance, if the Dayou kingdom had been unified under a single ruling lineage, even if Lin Yi had eliminated its leader, the assembled ministers would undoubtedly have appointed a successor, not Lin Yi.

However, the prevailing political landscape of Dayou was vastly different, characterized by internal factional rivalries, a situation that proved immensely advantageous to Lin Yi.

Neither of the dominant factions desired a monarch from the opposing side, a dynamic that Lin Yi skillfully exploited.

One could argue that such political maneuvering would scarcely be feasible in countries like Yan or Zhao.

These nations operated under a more centralized authority, with rulers possessing absolute power, unlike the previous regime in Dayou.

In those realms, monarchs wielded immense and unchallenged authority.

Consequently, any hasty attempt to interfere in their internal affairs or to capture the ruling monarch would likely prove futile.

For example, were Lin Yi to orchestrate the elimination of the Yan King, the most probable outcome would be the Yan generals rallying their troops and establishing their own independent fiefdoms.

Furthermore, various cities within Yan might declare their sovereignty.

Such a scenario would undoubtedly lead to a proliferation of competing warlords.

However, this discussion deviates from the present matter.

Returning to the immediate situation, Lin Yi retrieved the bear paw from the System Space, having obtained the desired confirmation. With another wave of his hand, the dish reappeared on the table before him.

This sudden reappearance left all onlookers utterly dumbfounded.

Some blinked repeatedly, rubbing their eyes as if to verify they hadn't succumbed to a hallucination.

The bear paw was undeniably present, but how could it have vanished moments before?
