Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 944 904: The Plot Succeeded

He was aware of one crucial point: these matters could not be rushed and required a step-by-step approach. After all, one cannot achieve great feats in a single stride.

His immediate priority was to solidify his control over Dayou's Capital as swiftly as possible.

The objective was to manage the Dayou Kingdom into an unshakeable entity.

Only when universal acknowledgment was secured could he proceed with his grand designs.

Otherwise, if his directives were met with defiance, how could his ambitions possibly be realized?

More importantly, how could the system be awakened at the earliest opportunity?

Contemplating the system's awakening, a sudden thought struck him: he had, in essence, already ascended to the throne of Dayou. So why had the system remained entirely unresponsive?

Logically, after unifying the Dayou Kingdom and assuming the mantle of King, a substantial increase in system points should have been registered.

Yet, there was no reaction whatsoever, not even the slightest flicker of acknowledgment.

Could it be that some crucial condition remained unfulfilled?

Perhaps the act of becoming King of this particular kingdom did not meet the criteria for point accumulation?

This line of thought prompted him to mentally address the system, seeking answers.

He yearned to understand the system's silence and to ascertain if his current endeavors held any meaning in its eyes.

However, despite his persistent mental inquiries, the system offered no response.

There was simply no reaction at all.

A sigh of helplessness escaped him; it appeared his understanding was too simplistic, and the accumulation of the system's energy was not as straightforward as he had assumed.

Alternatively, it was possible that he had not yet thoroughly consolidated his influence over Dayou Kingdom, thus preventing the system from drawing energy from it.

Mulling over this, he couldn't help but shake his head in resignation.

Suddenly, another possibility surfaced: while he had effectively taken control of Dayou Kingdom, the transition had not been officially recognized. The knowledge was confined to a select few important ministers and court officials.

As for the general populace?

Who among them was aware of the change in leadership at Dayou?

Who knew that he was the new King?

This realization ignited a spark of insight; perhaps the system's inability to gather energy was significantly linked to this very fact.

With this new perspective, a plan began to form: he would hasten his return and ensure a public proclamation, arranging his coronation ceremony. Only then would the entire realm acknowledge him as the new King of Dayou.

Nevertheless, he conceded that these thoughts were somewhat premature. He was still at the Border Army Camp, and contemplating matters of state within these quarters felt unrealistic at the moment.

Therefore, he decided to take Leng Yu on a tour of the camp. As Lin Yi passed by, the soldiers offered their heartfelt thanks.

It was within this environment that Lin Yi truly felt the weight of his authority and prestige.

If the entire populace of the world could accord him such respect, then he could consider his mission truly accomplished.

Of course, such a state of affairs was still a distant prospect.

Even now, news of his coronation had not reached the common people; how could they offer him their allegiance?

He understood that this matter, too, could not be rushed. He was confident that it would not be long before everyone became aware of his existence.

The challenge lay in devising a method to make them aware, a task that required considerable effort.

Lin Yi had already formulated a strategy: within two days, following his enthronement, he would announce the establishment of the Dayou Kingdom's official newspaper.

Indeed, he intended to create his own media network to ensure that every edict issued from the Imperial Court would be disseminated nationwide with utmost speed, informing everyone of his commands.

Only by achieving this widespread influence, extending his royal authority to even the remotest villages, could he truly solidify his control over the Dayou Kingdom.

After a leisurely stroll through the city with Leng Yu, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

The night unfolded much like the previous one; she resolutely refused to depart, clinging stubbornly to his side.

Regardless of Lin Yi's gentle entreaties or persistent persuasion, his efforts were futile.

She remained steadfast in her decision, insisting on staying close to Lin Yi and refusing to leave.

Furthermore, her audacity seemed to have grown on this occasion.

She preemptively occupied the bed, concealed herself beneath the covers, and deliberately ignored Lin Yi.

Left with no other recourse, Lin Yi retrieved a camp bed from the System Space, set it up beside his own, and settled down to sleep alone.

Leng Yu, peeking out from under the blanket when she detected no movement, felt a pang of distress upon witnessing the scene and began to weep softly.

Alerted by the faint sounds from outside, Lin Yi opened his eyes and looked over. Seeing her in such a state left him utterly exasperated.

In the end, she got her way once more, spending the night nestled beside Lin Yi.

Finally, a satisfied smile graced her pretty face, a clear display of the joy from a successfully executed little plan.

The dawn of the following day saw sunlight pouring into the room, gently rousing Lin Yi from his slumber.

However, sensing a familiar weight upon him, Lin Yi could only shake his head once more, a hint of helplessness in his gesture.

He attempted to gently shift her off, but Leng Yu merely smacked her lips, turning away without opening her eyes. She murmured,

"I’m so exhausted, Brother Lin. Please, just let me sleep a little longer, alright?"

With that, she proceeded to ignore Lin Yi, draping her long legs over him once again.

She then resumed her sleep. Gazing at her charmingly sleepy face, Lin Yi had no choice but to concede defeat. He softly patted her, then closed his eyes, joining her in sleep.

Little did Lin Yi know, the moment his eyes shut, the girl’s own eyes fluttered open. Witnessing Lin Yi’s resigned expression, she couldn’t resist a pleased smile spreading across her lips.
