"This is a God Relic?" Xue Jing narrowed his eyes, pretending to be intrigued as he unconsciously reached toward the Sweet Water Kettle.

Seeing this, Wu Youqing did not refuse. Instead, she directly handed him the Sweet Water Kettle.

Divinity Substance detected. Extracting divinity...

Seeing the prompt appear on the panel, Xue Jing blinked, forcibly suppressing his excitement. Keeping a straight face, he held the Sweet Water Kettle against his chest and curiously felt it all over.

On the panel, his divinity began steadily rising by several points per second. 26, 27, 28...

"Why don't you guess what GOD-1567 actually does?"

Unaware that Xue Jing was secretly carrying out some strange operation, Wu Youqing found his wide-eyed, inexperienced look rather amusing and spoke up.

Xue Jing thought for a moment. "The water it pours out is sweet without adding sugar? And it can produce hot water from thin air?"

Based on the God Relic's name, along with what he had seen and felt earlier, he gave his guess.

"Close. Guess again," Wu Youqing said.

Hearing that, Xue Jing carefully examined the kettle in his hands. He felt that something was still off.

As the divinity on the panel continued to rise, Xue Jing suddenly frowned and said uncertainly, "The amount of water... doesn't seem to have gone down?"

The kettle was transparent, allowing him to clearly see the water inside. When she had taken it out, it had been completely full.

Wu Youqing had just used it to make a pot of tea and poured out quite a bit of water, yet when Xue Jing looked now, the kettle was still completely full.

A somewhat unbelievable thought came to him. "The water in this kettle... is infinite?"

Wu Youqing looked mildly surprised, then nodded. A trace of satisfaction appeared on her lovely face. "You guessed correctly."

"GOD-1567: Sweet Water Kettle. Its function is to produce hot water physically identical to ordinary water, except with a strange sweet taste."

She paused. "And the water inside can never be emptied."

"As an outstanding student of Qing Fu Middle School, you should understand what that means, shouldn't you?"

The girl smiled.

Of course Xue Jing understood what it meant.

"It ignores the law of conservation of energy..." he murmured.

Matter was energy. Infinite water meant infinite energy.

Able to continuously output limitless energy without consuming any energy at all, the Sweet Water Kettle might appear unremarkable on the surface, but it was actually one of humanity's ultimate dreams.

A perpetual motion machine of the first kind!

Taken further, it was something that could truly overturn the fundamental laws of the universe.

Its significance was enormous.

"This is what a God Relic is." Wu Youqing leaned back slightly, her long legs clad in skinny jeans crossing together like a queen's.

"Its very existence symbolizes 'unreasonableness,' as though it were a prank by the gods."

On the panel, his divinity had already reached two hundred.

To hold onto it longer, Xue Jing began making small talk. "Such a useful God Relic, and you only use it to make tea?"

"You think turning it into a 'perpetual motion machine' would count as making the best use of it?" Wu Youqing asked.

Xue Jing nodded.

Though it was merely an ordinary-sized kettle and could pour out no more than one thousand milliliters of water per second, its limitless output alone was enough to make it into a perpetual motion machine with relatively limited power. Its utility would be immense.

Especially since the water it poured out was hot water.

Humanity's use of the vast majority of energy sources was just finding creative ways to boil water.

"From the moment GOD-1567 was discovered, the first person to obtain it had the same idea. But it is impossible."

"Over the years, from studying thousands of God Relics, humanity has summarized five laws."

Wu Youqing raised her right hand, spread all five fingers, then folded them down until only her index finger remained.

"One of them is that God Relics possess random transference."

"No matter how good the containment measures are, every God Relic has the ability to randomly transfer under unknown triggering conditions. It may move elsewhere at any time, with no pattern, no way to predict it, and no way to intercept it."

"With the Sweet Water Kettle liable to vanish and transfer away at any moment, no one could possibly spend enormous amounts of time and billions in funding to build a perpetual motion machine powered by it. That would only waste manpower and resources."

The girl spoke with ease and confidence.

"I see." Xue Jing nodded in agreement.

In that case, this kettle was not as useful as he had imagined. Its perpetual-motion property could not be replicated or theoretically applied elsewhere, and it could transfer away at any moment, making it impossible to use as the power source for a perpetual motion machine.

In the end, a God Relic with such earth-shattering significance was, in practical terms, nothing more than a toy that could pour out sweet hot water.

No wonder Wu Youqing had placed it here so extravagantly.

"In short, every God Relic is similar to GOD-1567. Each possesses something beyond the scope of human scientific understanding. They follow neither reason nor physics," the girl said.

As Xue Jing listened to Wu Youqing's explanation, he watched the progress on the panel.

Divinity held: 397

"I never expected such wondrous things to exist in this world," Xue Jing said with feeling.

"You believe me just like that?" Wu Youqing raised a finely arched brow.

"You don't want to test whether it's real? Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you? Maybe the water was just boiled in advance with some sugar added, and there's a hidden compartment inside that replenishes the water?"

Xue Jing shook his head, his expression earnest. "There's no need. I believe you."

The panel's response was perfect proof.

Wu Youqing gave a light snort. "Naive."

Then she could not help smiling. "But rather cute."

She reached out, intending to take the Sweet Water Kettle back from Xue Jing. Seeing her movement, he calmly said, "Do you want some water, Sister? I'll pour you a cup."

With that, he stood, took a teacup from the tea tray, filled it with water from the kettle, and slid it in front of Wu Youqing.

The girl said nothing further and withdrew the hand she had reached out with. She then picked up the cup, parted her red lips, and took a small sip, frowning slightly.

"The water in GOD-1567 merely has a sweet taste. Tests show that it contains no sugar whatsoever and is identical to ordinary water."

"Unfortunately, the sweetness is too cloying and the flavor isn't particularly good. Otherwise, it could be used to make genuine 'sugar-free desserts.'"

Wu Youqing spoke with some regret.

Divinity extraction complete.

Divinity held: 502

I can finally activate Twin Life's active effect! Xue Jing suppressed the urge to leap up in celebration. He set the Sweet Water Kettle on the wooden table, thought for a moment, then turned to Wu Youqing with a puzzled look. "Sister, I'm curious. Why do you know so much, and why are you telling me?"

The girl smiled slightly. After rummaging through a small bag placed on the chair beside her, she took out a business card and handed it to Xue Jing.

"Allow me to introduce myself again."

"I am Wu Youqing."

Xue Jing took the card and looked at the words printed on it.

"CEO of Wu's God Relic Containment and Research Co., Ltd."

"I hope you..."

Before the girl could finish, Xue Jing, having read the card, rose from his seat and walked over to her. With a sincere expression, he took her hand.

"Please, let me join your team, dear Sister."

Wu Youqing: "..."
