Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 732 - 688: That Was Close

This move was a skill he honed during his school days, where a pen could rapidly bounce, flip, and spin around his fingers.

Each pen trick was performed beautifully.

Normally, only the top students could master such a skill, while someone like Lin Yi, who didn't even like to spend much time in the classroom, could rarely reach this level with a pen.

However, Lin Yi never followed the usual norms, and this was true even from a young age.

Although he didn't like studying much when he was young, he was immediately attracted upon seeing someone else doing pen tricks.

Back then, being able to spin a pen around one's fingers made him the coolest kid among his peers.

This also made him determined to practice diligently.

He remembers that back in those days, no matter the time or place, he always had a pen in his pocket.

It could be said that except for sleeping, even while eating, he would have a pen in his hand.

Because of this, Empress Dowager Ye was quite happy for a long time.

Seeing her son always carrying a pen in his pocket, she thought he had developed a keen interest in studying and believed his character had changed.

At that time, Empress Dowager Ye went so far as to buy him a Hero fountain pen that cost over a hundred yuan as a reward.

However, when she later found out that this little rascal was planning to use the pen for spinning tricks, she was so furious that she gave Lin Yi a good scolding with her slipper.

Now, sitting back at his seat, as he pondered the problem in his mind, his hands instinctively began to spin the pen.

However, just then, a voice suddenly broke into his mind.

[Ding, the system detects the master has provided an ordinary ballpoint pen. Would the master like to deconstruct and reconstruct it?]

While thinking about how to avoid participating in such activities in the future, a prompt suddenly sounded in his head.

This voice startled Lin Yi, and he instinctively nodded.

Thus, a prompt sounded again in his mind.

[Ding, the master has provided an ordinary ballpoint pen. The system will now proceed with deconstruction and reconstruction.

System deconstruction in progress, system deconstruction complete.

System nanoparticle replenishment in progress, system nanoparticle replenishment complete.

System reconstruction in progress, system reconstruction complete.

Ding, congratulations to the master for obtaining a 2100 model ballpoint pen. It has been automatically placed in the master's hand for inspection.]

Until this voice sounded, Lin Yi finally came back to his senses.

Looking at the ballpoint pen that suddenly vanished from his hand, he was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with resignation.

Perhaps it was his instinctive action; while spinning the pen, the words "deconstruct and reconstruct" flashed in his mind.

The system in his mind offered a prompt right away.

He didn't know if it was his habitual action that prompted him to agree to the deconstruction and reconstruction.

And that's what led to the current situation.

Moments later, a pen with a full metal finish appeared in his hand.

At the instant this pen appeared, Lin Yi instinctively flipped it rapidly and firmly grasped it in his palm.

At the same time, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Joking aside, he was openly doing this in the meeting hall, surrounded by people.

If someone inadvertently discovered this secret, it would be akin to unexpectedly capsizing in a calm ditch.

Having weathered numerous storms without exposure, if he were compromised by such a small subconscious action and a ballpoint pen, it'd make him wish for a rock to hide under.

Although his career had truly taken off, in the global arena, he was still far behind.

At the very least, if the matter of the system were to be discovered by someone with ill intentions, it would invite countless troubles.

At that time, would he be truly able to handle it?

Lin Yi believed he had the ability to protect himself, but what about his family? His parents?

At the worst, what about his friends and relatives?

Would they be able to carry that burden?

Fortunately, he had been quick enough. Although the surrounding people occasionally put their attention on him, watching the pen spin in his hands, they merely marveled at President Lin's academic prowess, assuming the skill was typical for geniuses - something they couldn't accomplish.

But when Lin Yi's pen suddenly vanished without a trace, those sneaking glances at him were surprised, yet they didn't overthink it.

They assumed the pen had fallen to the ground or was clasped in Lin Yi's palm.

After all, no matter how vivid their imagination, they couldn't fathom that Lin Yi possessed a system capable of deconstructing and reconstructing objects.

Such fantasies typically only appear in novels.

Nonetheless, this incident gave Lin Yi quite a scare. He quickly pocketed the pen.

No time to closely examine the differences between the pen from 2100 and the ones today.

Moreover, he secretly admonished himself to avoid making such rookie mistakes again.

At the very least, until he could control the situation, he needed to steer clear of these mistakes.

A wasted opportunity for deconstruction and reconstruction wasn't a big deal; after all, Lin Yi currently had countless chances each day, usually saving them for a big event at the end of the month.

The primary concern was security.

Meanwhile, Li Wentao sensed the boss's earlier movement, turned to him, and curiously asked, "What's up, boss?"

To this, Lin Yi waved, his face full of impatience, speaking in a tone only the two of them could hear:

"Nothing, just fell into your trap. In the future, if there's such a good thing, you take care of it yourself. Don't call me again. I'd rather nap at home during this time.

Ah, it's nothing indeed."

Hearing this, Li Wentao smiled bitterly:

"I don't want to come either, but there's no choice. Remember, we're still on someone else's turf, a little face must be saved for them.

They invited you, but you couldn't make it. Li Huiqun couldn't make it either; how could I refuse?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly shone brightly!
