Kapitel 34: Chapter 34: Please let me join your team!
"Is this the divine relic?" Xue Jing asked, narrowing his eyes in feigned curiosity as he unconsciously reached for the "sweet water kettle."
Wu Youqing, noticing his interest, didn't hesitate to hand the kettle to him.
[Divine substance detected, absorbing divinity...]
Xue Jing blinked at the panel's prompt, suppressing his excitement. He held the kettle without changing his expression, examining it curiously.
On the panel, [Divinity] began to rise at several points per second: 26, 27, 28...
"Why don't you guess the specific function of GOD-1567?" Wu Youqing asked, amused by Xue Jing's apparent naivety, unaware of his secret operation.
Xue Jing considered it for a moment. "Does it make water taste sweet without adding sugar? And can it heat the water inside it without the use of fire?" Considering this divine relic's name and his observations, he shared his thoughts.
"That's part of it. Try again," Wu Youqing encouraged.
Xue Jing looked carefully at the kettle, feeling something was amiss.
The divinity on the panel increased steadily. Suddenly, Xue Jing frowned, his tone uncertain. "The water level... it hasn't decreased, has it?"
The kettle was transparent, showing the water level clearly. It had been full when Wu Youqing took it out. After making tea, she had poured out quite a bit, but even till now, the kettle was still full.
A surprising theory crossed his mind "Is the water in this kettle... infinite?"
Wu Youqing was slightly taken aback but then nodded, a hint of satisfaction showing on her face. "You guessed it right."
"GOD-1567 Sweet Water Kettle can produce hot water with the same properties as ordinary water but with a peculiar sweet taste," she explained. "And the water inside never runs out."
"As a top student from Qing Affiliated High School, you should understand what this implies," she said, smiling.
Xue Jing certainly understood.
"It defies the law of conservation of energy..." he murmured.
Matter is energy, and infinite water equates to infinite energy.
This sweet water kettle could continually output infinite energy without consuming any. Its seemingly ordinary function is one of humanity's ultimate dreams.
A perpetual motion machine!
On a larger scale, this relic defies the basic laws of the universe.
It holds immense significance.
"This is a god's relic," Wu Youqing said, leaning back slightly, crossing her legs with a regal air.
"Its existence symbolizes 'irrationality,' as if it's a prank by God."
On the panel, [Divinity] had risen to 200.
Xue Jing started small talk to extend his time of contact with it "Such a useful relic, is it only for making tea?"
Wu Youqing replied, "Do you think using it for a 'perpetual motion machine' is its best use?"
Xue Jing nodded.
Although the kettle was small, with a discharge rate not exceeding 1000 ml per second, its infinite output could create a perpetual motion machine with limited output, making it extremely valuable.
Especially since the water it produces is hot.
Most human energy usage revolves around heating water.
"The first person who obtained GOD-1567 had the same idea, but it proved impossible," Wu Youqing explained. "Over the years, humans have identified five laws governing divine relics."
She raised her right hand, spreading her fingers, then leaving only her index finger extended.
"The first law is 'divine relics have the property of random transfer.' No containment measure is effective. Any divine relic can randomly transfer under unknown conditions, moving unpredictably, and without any pattern."
"Given that the 'Sweet Water Kettle' could vanish and transfer anytime, it's unfeasible to invest significant time and billions to create a perpetual motion machine powered by it. It would only waste resources."
The girl spoke with confidence.
"I see," Xue Jing nodded, understanding.
Thus, the kettle wasn't as useful as initially thought. Its perpetual motion properties were unreplicable and couldn't be theoretically applied elsewhere. Its potential transferability also meant it couldn't be a power source for perpetual motion machines.
As a result, this significant divine relic was just a toy, producing sweet hot water.
No wonder Wu Youqing kept it here, merely to enjoy its novelty.
"In essence, all divine relics are similar to GOD-1567. They defy human scientific understanding and lack logic and physicality," Wu Youqing said.
Xue Jing listened intently, watching the panel's progress.
[Possessing Divinity: 397]
"I never imagined such wonders existed," Xue Jing remarked with awe.
"You believe it?" Wu Youqing raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you want to verify its authenticity? Aren't you worried I'm deceiving you? Maybe the water was pre-boiled, with sugar added, and there's a secret compartment to refill it?"
Xue Jing shook his head, his tone earnest. "No, I believe you."
The panel's reaction was proof enough.
Wu Youqing snorted, "Naive." Then she laughed, "But it's cute."
She reached for the sweet water kettle, but Xue Jing, noticing her movement, said calmly, "Sister, would you like some hot water? I'll pour it for you."
He stood, took a teacup from the tray, filled it from the kettle, and placed it in front of Wu Youqing.
She didn't comment, withdrawing her hand and taking the cup. She took a sip, frowning slightly.
"The water from GOD-1567 is just sweet. There's no sugar added in its actual ingredients, but it is identical to regular water."
"It's a shame the sweetness is so excessive, and the taste isn't great, or it could be used for 'sugar-free desserts.'"
Wu Youqing expressed her mild disappointment.
[Divine Absorption Completed]
[Possessing Divine Power: 502]
Finally, the active effect of [Twin] could be activated!
Xue Jing resisted the urge to celebrate, placing the sweet water kettle back on the wooden table. He paused, then asked Wu Youqing curiously, "Sister, I'm curious, how do you know so much, and why tell me?"
Wu Youqing smiled slightly, rummaging through a small bag on the nearby chair. She produced a business card and handed it to Xue Jing.
"Let me introduce myself again."
"I am Wu Youqing." Xue Jing took the card, examining the writing.
"CEO of Wu's Divine Relics Storage and Research Co. Ltd."
"I hope you..."
Before she could finish, Xue Jing, having read the card, left his seat, approached her, and shook her hand sincerely.
"Please let me join your business, dear sister."
Wu Youqing "..." Speechless
