After placing the bear paw in the System Space, Lin Yi immediately sensed its presence within the System Space.

He then directed his consciousness into the System Space and found the bear paw.

Next, Lin Yi began to contemplate analyzing it.

He wondered if this thing was poisonous.

As his thoughts reached the System Space, suddenly, the System Space responded.

In other words, in his mind, he recalled the mechanical voice of his system.

However, this time the voice was much stiffer compared to the system's usual responses.

You can tell from this point that this is not the system speaking itself, but rather a system setting; it isn't an intelligent system or his system awakening.

More accurately, this is a system devoid of any emotions and incapable of thought.

"After testing, no harmful toxins have been found within this bear paw. Please feel free to use it."

As the words were spoken, Lin Yi's lips curved slightly, and he felt a surge of joy.

Honestly, he never expected the system to actually respond, nor did he expect the System Space to be able to detect any toxins in the dish.

This functionality is astounding and unimaginable.

After all, this is his first attempt at such a thing, meaning he has discovered another new application and ability of the System Space.

This suggests that perhaps the System Space holds numerous secrets he is unaware of.

It seems that his journey ahead is long, with much to learn about the System Space.

Heh, it's quite laughable that he's possessed it for over a year yet hasn't fully grasped its uses.

If word of this were to spread, it would surely be amusing; not only the system space, but Lin Yi knows very little about the system itself.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Yi only knows what the system wants him to know. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

As for everything else, well, Lin Yi hasn't figured it out yet.

Currently, this function is quite powerful and really beneficial to Lin Yi.

With it, Lin Yi can eat any food in ancient society without fear.

No need to worry about someone poisoning the food to harm him.

After all, what toxin could possibly evade the system?

As long as there's detection by the System Space, and it can detect even a trace of harmful toxins, Lin Yi would know immediately.

It not only saves the need for protecting those poison testing eunuchs.

It is genuinely advantageous to Lin Yi himself.

Even with eunuchs testing food, and every dish tasted by them first, don't forget there are countless poisons.

Many toxins are not immediately detectable.

That means some toxins may not kill the eunuch instantly, nor show immediate symptoms, but that does not mean they won't take effect after a period.

There's a high possibility that nothing happens to the testing eunuch initially, and Lin Yi may eat after them only to find themselves poisoned later.

Since Lin Yi's ascension was not entirely legitimate, naturally, many covet his position and bear hatred, seeking to take his life.

Such scenarios are likely.

But now, with this capability from System Space, Lin Yi can at least stop worrying about the food.

It's worth mentioning that his unexpected ascension to the throne owes gratitude to the previous Prince Ning.

If not for Prince Ning's existence and influence, Lin Yi couldn't have directly killed the current king to seize his throne; such a feat would be unthinkable.

For instance, if Dayou was dominated by one ruling family, even if Lin Yi killed their leader, the ministers would unite to choose a new king, not Lin Yi.

However, Dayou is now different, precisely because of the rivalry between forces, which benefitted Lin Yi.

Neither faction wishes the newly ascended king to be from the opposition, allowing Lin Yi to capitalize.

It would not be exaggerated to say such tactics wouldn't work in Yan Country or Zhao Country.

Those countries are fully governed by a ruler with unmatched authority, unlike the previous Dayou ruler.

In their nations, they wield immense power.

Thus, rashly interfering in their internal affairs or attempting to capture the king first wouldn't succeed.

For example, if Lin Yi were to eliminate King Yan, the likelihood is that Yan's generals would lead their soldiers to establish their own dominion.

Furthermore, Yan's cities might declare independence.

If it came to that, it would result in numerous competing lords.

However, that's digressing.

Currently, Lin Yi placed the bear paw back into the System Space and got the answer he wanted, then waved his hand again, and the dish appeared back on his table.

This act stunned everyone around.

Some rubbed their eyes intensely, trying to confirm they hadn't imagined it.

The bear paw was right there, but why did it suddenly disappear before?
