Chapter 1775: The Power Of System Law Integration And Upgrade
Although Drakda ended eating the whole cupcake, the notifications remained within the log, so I was able to read the details again.

{Description}
A delicious Strawberry Cupcake.
According to this Enhancement Effect of +1, his Health, Stamina, and Divine Power natural recovery over time will increase by 25% for 1 Hour and he also got a boost of 1% to all stats for 10 Minutes!
I need to try out how these buffs work though. Can they stack? Can I make a bunch of cupcakes and then get 1000% buff?
I"ll have to try integrating more food and then enhancing them, so let"s try that.
I aimed for small, easy to eat preparations, whole plates of things would be more complicated to test. So I went for other cupcakes and cake slices.
"Huh? Drake? What are you doing?"
Benladann noticed I was doing weird stuff to the cake slices, rapidly imbuing divine auras into them seemed a bit strange.
"Experimenting," I said. "I obtained a new ability, but instead of explaining, I"ll show you... Look at this."
"Hm? A cheesecake slice?" wondered Benladann. "Wait, what"s that...? Information of the item?"

A delicious Strawberry Cheesecake slice, best eaten with tea.
"Nah, Item Information and Status are different. My power allows me to give a Status to anything now..." I said. "This cake slice now gained a Status!"
I had given it a +3 enhancement to test it, the rest were similar. It seemed that the cheesecake slices all shared similar buffs, other cakes had slightly different things.
"Now try eating it," I said.
"Really? It won"t have any weird thing?" wondered Benladann. "Wouldn"t I eat the system with it?"
"Nah, it doesn"t work like that," I said. "You see, the System Law is not some "thing" within what it is imbued into, not so different from the air itself or humidity, which is everywhere. You swallow air and humidity whenever you eat after all, it"s a similar thing to that." "You won"t be poisoned, Benladann..." Andromeda sighed. "I can"t believe you wouldn"t trust Drake. It"s rather obvious he wouldn"t give you something poisonous, you know?"
"Aah, sorry! I didn"t mean to be rude," Benladann sighed. "Okay then... Nom!"
She ate the whole slice with a single bite, my cute wife is a big eater.
FLUOSH!
A moment later, she overflowed with new power, feeling her energies recover instantly by a small amount, while her power increased. She gained a pink-colored aura.
"Woah! What in the world?! It"s true! It really worked..." Benladann glanced at her own aura. "Now try eating these other cheesecakes, I want to see if it can stack," I offered her more slices.
"E-Eh? But... um, okay, only one more, I"m already so stuffed..." Benladann ate another slice
and...
Nothing happened.
"Hm? Looks like it didn"t work a second time!"
"So that confirms it, buffs can"t stack," I nodded. "At least between similar items. Can you try eating this other chocolate cupcake? It"s tiny so it shouldn"t be too much."
This was the chocolate cupcake"s Status:
[Chocolate Cupcake (+3)]

{Description}
A delicious Chocolate Cupcake, a cla.s.sic beloved by many.
"Alright..."
Benladra ate it with a single bite, licking her big lips.
"Hmm, oh?"
FLUOSH!
A new aura surged, this time, she gained more buffs.
However...
"The cheesecake buffs that overlapped with the chocolate cake buffs didn"t increase nor stacked," I nodded. "However, you gained additional buffs that were slightly different from
the cheesecake."
"So that"s the exploit then," said Andromeda. "To create slightly similar, yet different buffs,
maybe?"
"Perhaps..." I said. "But the thing is, I can"t really modify them no matter how hard I try. They"re actually all pre-determined or random. Can you help?"
"Let me see," Andromeda tried to directly put her own mind and powers as I imbued another
item with this power.
Yet...
"Ah, no, it"s not possible. I suppose the condition for this to even happen is that it has to be randomly chosen," she said. "Once the random enhancements are chosen they stay like that
for every item that is similar to it."
"Interesting..." I nodded. "Can"t we bend this rule somehow?"
"It"s not so easy, a complete reconstruction of the Divine Ability would be needed,"
Andromeda said. "We could try I suppose?"
"Nah, I guess it"s too much of a bother," I laughed. "It"s good as it is! I can try and experiment
more with it and see what I can do. But essentially, if I can get a lot of copies of elixirs and
such, I could further enhance them. I wonder though, can this Integration work on living beings the same way ti does to inert objects/food?"
"Only way to find out," said Andromeda. "Try it on yourself."
"Well said," I nodded. "{System Law Integration and Upgrade}"
FLAAASH!
