Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Please Let Me Join Your Team!

"Is this a Divine Relic?" Xue Jing narrowed his eyes, feigning interest as he unconsciously reached for the 'Sweet Water Jug'.
Seeing this, Wu Youqing did not refuse and directly handed the Sweet Water Jug to him.
[Divine Substance detected, Divine Absorption in progress...]
Looking at the prompt that appeared on the screen, Xue Jing blinked, suppressed his excitement, and held the Sweet Water Jug in his arms without changing his expression, curiously touching it here and there.
On the screen, [Divinity] was rising at several points per second, 26, 27, 28...
"Why don't you guess what the specific function of GOD-1567 is?"
Unaware of the strange operations Xue Jing was secretly conducting, Wu Youqing, seeing his 'naive' demeanor, couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke.
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "The water poured out is sweet without adding sugar? And it also has the function of producing hot water out of thin air?"
Combining the name of the Divine Relic with what he had seen and felt before, he voiced his speculation.
"Close, guess again," Wu Youqing said.
At her words, Xue Jing took a closer look at the water jug in his hands, feeling that something was still amiss.
As time passed, Divinity on the panel continued to increase, and Xue Jing suddenly frowned, saying somewhat uncertainly:
"The amount of water... seems unchanged?"
The water jug was made of transparent material, allowing a clear view of its contents. When taken out, the water inside was brimming to the top.
Wu Youqing had just used it to brew a pot of tea, pouring out a significant amount, but when Xue Jing looked at it, the water level inside the jug still seemed full to the brim.
A nearly unbelievable speculation crossed his mind: "The water in this jug... is unlimited?"
At his words, Wu Youqing looked slightly surprised, and then nodded her head, her pretty face revealing a hint of satisfaction as she said, "You guessed right."
"GOD-1567·Sweet Water Jug, its function: it can produce hot water that has the same physical properties as normal water but carries an unusual sweetness."
She paused for a moment, "Moreover, the water inside, will never run out."
"As an excellent student of Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School, you should understand what this means," the young girl said with a smile on her face.
Of course, Xue Jing understood what this meant.
"Ignoring the law of conservation of energy..." he murmured.
Material equivalents were energy, so infinite water equated to infinite energy.
The capability to output unlimited energy to the external world without consuming any energy, this jug, while seemingly mundane in function, was in reality one of humanity's ultimate dreams.
A type-one Perpetual Motion Machine!
If one were to speak grandly, this item was a true entity capable of overturning the fundamental laws of the universe.
The significance was immense.
"This, is a Divine Relic." Wu Youqing leaned back slightly, with her slender legs clad in tight jeans, crossed in a queenly manner.
"Its very existence symbolizes 'unreasonableness', as if it was a prank by the gods."
On the panel, [Divinity] had risen to two hundred.
To hold onto it for a longer period, Xue Jing began to make small talk:
"Is such a useful Divine Relic only used to make tea?"
Wu Youqing replied, "Do you think it would be making full use of it to turn it into a 'Perpetual Motion Machine'?"
Xue Jing nodded.
Though it was just an ordinary-sized water jug with an outflow efficiency that wouldn't exceed 1000 milliliters per second, its attribute of unlimited output was sufficient to devise ways to turn it into a somewhat limited but still significantly impactful Perpetual Motion Machine.
Especially since the water poured from the jug was 'hot water'.
The majority of human energy usage is merely about boiling water in various ways.
"From the moment GOD-1567 was discovered, the first person who acquired it had this idea, yet it is impossible."
"Over the years, through research into thousands of Divine Relics, humanity has derived five laws." Wu Youqing extended her right hand, spreading her five fingers, then closed them until only her index finger remained extended.
```
"One of them is that 'Divine Relics possess random transfer nature.'"
"No matter how good the containment measures are, they are of no use. Any Divine Relic possesses the ability to randomly transfer with trigger conditions that are unclear. They can be transferred to another place at any time, with no pattern, unpredictable, and simply impossible to intercept."
"Given that the Sweet Water Jug might disappear and transfer at any moment, it is impossible to specifically spend a lot of time and tens of billions in funds to make a Perpetual Motion Machine powered by it. This would only be a waste of manpower and resources for nothing."
The young girl spoke eloquently.
"I see," Xue Jing nodded in agreement.
So, this jug was not as useful as imagined; its perpetual nature was non-replicable and couldn't theoretically be applied elsewhere. Moreover, it could transfer at any time, making it impractical as a power source for a Perpetual Motion Machine.
As a result, such a Divine Relic with mind-blowing significance was, in reality, nothing more than a toy capable of pouring out sweet, hot water.
No wonder Wu Youqing would leave it here, in what seemed like a wasteful display.
"In summary, all Divine Relics are similar to GOD-1567 in that they all have aspects that surpass human scientific understanding, being neither logical nor physical," the young girl said.
Xue Jing listened to Wu Youqing's introduction while watching the progress on the panel.
[Divinity held: 397]
"I never imagined that such wondrous things existed in the world," Xue Jing remarked.
"Do you just believe that?" Wu Youqing raised an eyebrow.
"No need to test its authenticity? Aren't you afraid I'm deceiving you? Maybe this jug's water was just pre-boiled, with some sugar added, and there's a hidden compartment for replenishing the water?"
Xue Jing shook his head, looking serious, "No need, I trust you."
The panel's reaction was the perfect proof.
Wu Youqing snorted lightly, "Naive."
Then she couldn't help but laugh, "But somewhat cute."
She reached out to take the Sweet Water Jug back from Xue Jing's hand. He saw her movement and said nonchalantly:
"Sister, would you like some water? I'll pour it for you."
Having said that, he stood up, took a teacup from the tea tray, filled it with the jug, and pushed it in front of Wu Youqing.
The girl didn't say much, withdrew her hand meant to take the jug, then picked up the cup, slightly pursed her red lips, and took a sip, frowning slightly.
"The water from GOD-1567 has a plain sweet taste, yet the components tested show not a hint of sugar, identical to ordinary water."
"It's a pity that this sweetness is too cloying and doesn't taste that great; otherwise, it could be used to make real 'sugar-free desserts'."
Wu Youqing said with a bit of regret.
[Divine Absorption complete]
[Divinity held: 502]
Finally, I can activate the active effect of 'Twin Lifes'!
Xue Jing suppressed the urge to jump up in celebration, placed the Sweet Water Jug on the wooden table, thought for a moment, then turned to Wu Youqing with a puzzled expression:
"Sister, I'm very curious, how do you know so much, and why are you telling me all this?"
The young girl smiled slightly, rummaged through a small bag on a nearby chair for a while, took out a business card, and handed it to Xue Jing.
"Let me introduce myself again."
"I, Wu Youqing."
Xue Jing took the business card and looked at the words on it.
"CEO of Wu's Divine Relic Containment and Research Co., Ltd."
"I hope you..."
Before the girl could finish her sentence, Xue Jing who had read the business card stood up from his seat, walked in front of her, and sincerely took her hand.
"Please let me join your team, dear sister."
Wu Youqing: "..."
