Chapter 34: Please Let Me Join Your Team!
"So this is a Divine Relic?" Xue Jing narrowed his eyes, feigning fascination and unconsciously reaching out for the 'Sweet Water Kettle'.
Wu Youqing didn't refuse but instead handed the kettle to him directly.
[Divine substance detected. Absorbing divinity...]
Xue Jing blinked at the prompt on the panel, suppressing his excitement as he nonchalantly held the kettle in his arms, curiously caressing it.
On the panel, [Divinity] began to increase at a rate of several points per second: 26, 27, 28...
"Why don't you take a guess at what the specific function of GOD-1567 is?"
Not knowing that Xue Jing was secretly performing some strange operations, Wu Youqing found his 'unsophisticated' demeanor amusing and spoke up.
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "The water poured out is naturally sweet without adding sugar? And it can produce hot water out of thin air?"
Combining the name of this Divine Relic with what he had seen and felt earlier, he voiced his speculation.
"Close," Wu Youqing said. "Guess again."
Xue Jing examined the kettle in his hands more carefully, feeling that something was still amiss.
As divinity continued to increase on the panel, Xue Jing suddenly frowned, unsure, and said, "The water level... seems unchanged?"
The kettle was made of transparent material, clearly showing the water level inside. When Wu Youqing had taken it out, it had been filled to the brim.
She had just used it to brew a pot of tea, pouring out a significant amount of water. Yet, to Xue Jing's surprise, the kettle still appeared full.
He ventured an incredible guess, "Is the water in this kettle... infinite?"
Wu Youqing was slightly taken aback by his guess but nodded, a hint of satisfaction appearing on her lovely face. "Your guess is correct."
"GOD-1567, the Sweet Water Kettle, has the ability to produce hot water that is physically identical to regular water but possesses an unusual sweetness."
She paused, "And the water within is endless."
"As an outstanding student of Qing Fu High, you should understand what this implies."
The girl's face held a hint of a smile.
Xue Jing certainly understood the implications.
"Ignoring the law of conservation of energy..." he murmured.
Matter is energy, and infinite water represents infinite energy.
Being able to continuously output infinite energy to the outside world without consuming any energy itself, this Sweet Water Kettle, while appearing mundane on the surface, was actually one of mankind's ultimate dreams.
A perpetual motion machine!
If one were to think bigger, this artifact could truly overturn the fundamental laws of the universe.
The implications were enormous.
"This," Wu Youqing leaned back slightly, her long legs, clad in skinny jeans, crossing like a queen, "is a Divine Relic. Its very existence symbolizes 'unreasonableness,' as if it were a prank by the gods."
On the panel, [Divinity] had already reached two hundred.
To prolong holding the kettle, Xue Jing started making small talk, "Such a useful Divine Relic, is it only used for making tea?"
Wu Youqing replied, "Do you think that only by using it to create a 'perpetual motion machine' will it be considered making full use of its potential?"
Xue Jing nodded.
Although it was just an ordinary-sized kettle and could not output more than 1,000 milliliters of water per second, its ability to produce an infinite amount of water meant that one could devise a way to turn it into a perpetual motion machine with somewhat limited output. Its potential applications were enormous.
Moreover, the water poured from the kettle was 'hot water'.
Humankind's utilization of most energy sources merely involved boiling water in various ways.
"Ever since the discovery of GOD-1567, the first person to obtain it had this idea. However, it is impossible."
Chapter: The Sweet Water Kettle and the Laws of the Universe
"Over the years, humans have deduced five laws from the study of thousands of Divine Relics."
Wu Youqing extended her right hand, spreading her five fingers before curling them back in, leaving only her index finger extended.
"One of them is that 'Divine Relics possess random transferability.' No matter how well they are contained, any Divine Relic can randomly transfer to another location at any time. The trigger conditions are unclear, there is no pattern, and they cannot be predicted or intercepted."
"In the face of the possibility that the 'Sweet Water Kettle' could disappear and transfer at any moment, it's not feasible to spend a lot of time and billions of dollars to create a perpetual motion machine powered by it. That would be a waste of manpower and resources."
The girl spoke with an air of expertise.
"I see." Xue Jing nodded in agreement.
So, this kettle wasn't as useful as he had imagined. Its perpetual motion characteristic was un replicable and couldn't be theoretically applied elsewhere. Moreover, since it could transfer at any time, it couldn't serve as a reliable power source for a perpetual motion machine.
As a result, this seemingly incredible Divine Relic was little more than a toy that poured out sweet, hot water.
No wonder Wu Youqing had left it here, seemingly wasting its potential.
"In conclusion, all Divine Relics are similar to GOD-1567 in that they exhibit aspects that exceed human scientific understanding. They defy both reason and physics." The girl explained.
As Xue Jing listened to Wu Youqing's introduction, his eyes flickered towards the panel.
[Divinity Held: 397]
"I never imagined that such wondrous things existed in the world." Xue Jing marveled.
"You believe me so easily?" Wu Youqing's eyebrows arched.
"Don't you want to test it to verify its authenticity? What if I'm tricking you? Maybe this kettle was pre-filled with boiled water and sugar, and there's a hidden compartment to refill the water."
Xue Jing shook his head, his expression earnest, "No need, I trust you."
The panel's reaction was perfect proof.
Wu Youqing gave a soft huff, "Naive."
But then she couldn't help but smile, "Yet, endearing."
She reached out to take back the Sweet Water Kettle, and Xue Jing, noticing her movement, casually said, "Are you thirsty, sister? Let me pour you some water."
He stood up, took a cup from the tea tray, filled it with water from the kettle, and placed it in front of Wu Youqing.
The girl didn't say anything, retracting her hand that had reached for the kettle. She picked up the cup, took a sip, and furrowed her brows slightly.
"The water in the GOD-1567 is purely sweet, with no sugar in its composition. It's chemically identical to regular water."
"It's a pity that the sweetness is a bit cloying, and the taste isn't that good. Otherwise, it could be used to make genuine 'sugar-free sweets'."
Wu Youqing said with a hint of regret.
[Divinity Absorption Complete]
[Divinity Held: 502]
Finally, he could activate the active effect of [Twin]! Xue Jing forcefully suppressed the urge to jump for joy. He placed the Sweet Water Kettle back on the wooden table and turned to Wu Youqing with a curious expression. "Sister, I'm curious. Why do you know so much, and why are you telling me about it?"
The girl smiled slightly, rummaged through a small bag she had placed on the chair next to her, and took out a business card, which she handed to Xue Jing.
"Allow me to introduce myself again."
"I am Wu Youqing."
Xue Jing took the card and looked at the words on it.
"CEO of the Wu Corporation for Divine Relic Containment and Research."
"I hope you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xue Jing, having read the card, stood up from his seat and walked over to her, his eyes shining with sincerity as he took her hand in his.
"Please, let me join your team, Big Sister."
Wu Youqing: "..."
