"Faucet?"
Chen Miao's first reaction was that this definitely wasn't the kind of faucet he was thinking of. It had to be some powerful object that happened to have that name.
But when he tapped into the listing and saw the attached photo, he fell silent.
It really was just a faucet!
The kind installed on a water pipe, with a cross-shaped knob on top, a silver-gray body, and patches of rust here and there.
"What... is this thing good for?"
Chen Miao read on.
[Polluted object No. 41501 · Faucet]: A faucet that requires no connection to a water pipe. As long as the surrounding yin energy reaches a certain concentration, water will flow whenever you turn it on. (Note 1: Do not use it where there is water. Note 2: Do not drink directly from the spout.) [Rental price: 1 point/day] [In stock: No]
After reading the explanation, Chen Miao immediately looked at Chen Guokun.
"Brother Kun, something like this really exists?"
Chen Guokun glanced at the Faucet Chen Miao was looking at and nodded with a smile.
"It does."
"Polluted objects are very unusual. Their abilities come in all shapes and sizes. Some are harmless, while others are incredibly dangerous. This Faucet is one of the harmless ones."
"But because it can produce water anywhere there's yin energy, it's never been left idle."
"Apparently, a Grade-B Investigator from some drought-stricken area in western Daxia rented it, and it's been tied up ever since."
Hearing that, Chen Miao suddenly pictured a scene.
In a place where people toiled over the dry earth beneath a blazing sun, a man suddenly pulled a faucet from his bag, stuck it into a nearby mud wall, turned it on, and took a cold shower.
Just imagining it felt refreshing.
