American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

Inside the training ground, several security guards who were on night shift were exercising. Upon seeing the two arrive, they immediately gave up the space.

To the outside world, Captain Carter, as a senior CIA agent, remains an unknown and mysterious figure.

But for Josh's men, it was already a well-known name.

After all, it's the CIA's top dog on the surface, so it needs to maintain a certain image.

So everyone wanted to see if she was as powerful as the legends said.

As for Mar-Vell's origins, they had no idea, but since he was able to challenge the legendary super soldier, he was clearly no ordinary person.

So they not only cleared the space, but also called other people to come and watch.

Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that the two people who are about to fight are both great beauties - according to Western aesthetics, they are indeed great beauties.

However, for Josie, aside from Carter's slightly physique being a bit of a foul, the two were not on the same level as Margot at all.

This special sparring match was also arranged by someone who notified Josie.

Although it was very late, Josie and Margot were still awake.

When the people below informed the two of this through Francesca.

Margot had just managed to lull the two little rascals, who were exhausted from playing, to sleep, while Josie was staring blankly at a glass of water. It was a normal, transparent glass, but the liquid inside shone with a dazzling silver-green light.

It looks somewhat eerie, yet it also gives people a strange sense of beauty.

"Why did they suddenly decide to spar in the middle of the night?" Qiao Xi was a little confused when she heard this news.

Why do we spar during the day instead of at night? What's wrong with us?

Has Carter's energy become so abundant since becoming a super soldier?

“Darling, don’t you think there’s something strange about the relationship between Peggy and that Ms. Marwell?” Margot, who was standing nearby, realized something and couldn’t help but remind Josie.

"Their relationship? Strange?...Wait, you don't mean to say!" Josie's eyes widened as she realized what she meant.

“It’s hard to say about Peggy, but as for Marwell, I feel like she might have some feelings for her,” Margot explained.

Josie was speechless.

Although he knew that some rather bizarre pairings often appeared in American comics due to the personal reasons of the authors or directors, he never expected that he would encounter such a situation himself.

And this happened to Peggy Carter, who seemed the least likely person to experience this in this era.

Although Josie knew that whether in movies, TV series, or comics, Peggy Carter's love interest was indeed not just Captain America.

It is also known that Carter and Mar-Vell had formed a fairly deep friendship during their previous interactions.

However, the possibility that their relationship might cross the line of friendship was something Josie had never imagined.

However, considering some of Marwell's performance during the day, it's not entirely impossible.

What is this? A friendship gone wrong?

I wonder what Captain America's expression will be when he returns and finds out about this—tsk, why does Josh suddenly feel a bit excited?

"Margot, starting tomorrow, I think you'd better not have too much contact with that Marwell!" After thinking it through, Josie couldn't help but say to her lover.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Josie's words made Margot both angry and amused. How could this man be jealous of a woman?

"Ahem, I call this taking precautions. Although it seems that Marwell might only be interested in Peggy right now, what if? Hmm, by the way, Francesca, you should also be careful!" Josie said seriously.

"Huh? Oh, okay, I understand!" Francesca, who had been secretly laughing to herself, never expected that the fire would spread to her, but she dared not disobey Josie, so she could only nod in agreement.

"Shall we go take a look?" Margot shook her head and changed the subject.

“Yes, of course I’ll go!” Josie said immediately.

The showdown between Captain Carter and the first Captain Marvel from the comics is sure to be a spectacle; we should not only watch it, but also film it.

"Oh, right, you two, drink these two glasses of water first!" But before setting off, Josie took another glass from the table, then pulled out a kettle from somewhere, poured water into the glass, and said to Margot and Francesca.

Like the previous cup, the water in the cup had a peculiar silvery-green color.

"What is this?" Margot only then noticed the strange color of the liquid in the glass and asked, puzzled.

"Good stuff!" Josie didn't say much, but just mysteriously pushed the two cups toward the two of them.

Seeing that Josie didn't say anything, Margot stopped asking and simply picked up her glass and drank it down. This woman's wholehearted love for Josie meant that she would never have any doubts about him.

Seeing that her mistress had drunk it, Francesca didn't hesitate and picked up the cup and drank it down as well.

The cup wasn't big, and there wasn't much liquid inside; it was gone in just a couple of sips.

However, right after they finished drinking, the two felt a very obvious change in their bodies.

Chapter 180 I can spend an entire day with you

After Margot and Francesca drank the spring water, nothing like the scenes in fantasy novels where they expel foul-smelling substances from their pores or urgently need to use the toilet occurred.

I just felt more energetic, as if I had received a complete overhaul from the inside out, and I looked radiant and several years younger.

"It's amazing! What kind of water is this? It tastes almost the same as regular spring water, but I feel so refreshed after drinking it," Margot asked Josie with great admiration.

"It's nothing, just a rather special kind of water. As long as you feel good about it, that's fine. I'll give you some every month from now on. Don't ask too many questions!" Josie smiled slightly, without explaining further.

Although Josie trusted the two women, it was better not to say things too explicitly, especially about something as obviously supernatural as the Fountain of Immortality.

However, the name "Fountain of Immortality" is not entirely accurate; "Fountain of Youth" would be a more fitting name.

Because relying solely on spring water cannot actually grant true immortality—the immortality of Shion and her daughter did not come from spring water either.

If drinking from the spring water really could grant immortality, then when O'Connor was on the verge of death in the movie, he was also saved by Shion using the spring water. Did he also gain immortality?

If the spring water could truly grant immortality, then when O'Connor's son Alex proposed to Guo Lin, Guo Lin wouldn't have needed to say things like "I don't want to see you die." She could have just given him a cup of the spring water.

The truth is that neither of them achieved immortality.

Spring water doesn't have such powerful effects, and immortality isn't so cheap.

The reason why Ziyuan and her mother are immortal is not because of the spring, but because of the blessing of the holy land of Shangri-La—the effect is somewhat similar to Hela's immortality in the movie Thor: Ragnarok—Asgard is immortal, Hela is immortal.

Under normal circumstances, Ziyuan and her daughter are also considered immortal beings in Shangri-La.

But this came at a price: the two had to swear an oath to protect Shangri-La for all eternity.

However, in the final battle, Shion awakened the army of vengeful spirits at the cost of her and her mother's immortality, thus losing her immortality and breaking her vow.

As for the Fountain of Immortality, it is more like a manifestation or core of the power of the sacred land of Shangri-La.

Its spring water may have miraculous effects such as reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones, and may also make people look young and prolong their lives, but unless consumed over a long period of time, it will not achieve the effect of immortality.

The reason why the Dragon Emperor was able to obtain immortality was not because of the spring, but because he drew upon the primordial power of the Shangri-La Holy Land through the Spring of Immortality; the spring was merely a medium.

These were all things that the Dragon Emperor told Chae Rim after absorbing a portion of the original power of Shangri-La.

Furthermore, although the Dragon Emperor did not violently destroy the spring as depicted in the movie, his absorption of the primordial power of the Shangri-La Holy Land still greatly reduced the effectiveness of the Fountain of Immortality. It would take at least a thousand years to restore it.

Chae Rim wisely did not hide this information from Josie, and proactively lowered the price of the Eternal Spring Water to a very low level.

After all, Josie had acted too mysteriously before, and seemed to know almost everything about the world Chae Rim lived in.

Therefore, she couldn't be sure if Josie had a way to verify the efficacy of the Fountain of Immortality—although the benefits of the Fountain of Immortality seemed enormous, they were insignificant compared to Josie, the master of the interdimensional trading system.

Chae Rim is very smart. She knows that the reason she can stand by the Dragon Emperor's side is because she possesses the dimensional beacon. Once she loses Josie as her trading partner, she will become worthless in the Dragon Emperor's eyes.

In contrast, even if Josie loses her as a trading partner, she will still have other trading partners.

Therefore, she couldn't afford to offend Josie.

In this situation, Josie couldn't say anything... Could he possibly run to the world of Gods and Demons and beat up the Dragon Emperor? He couldn't possibly win...

Fortunately, the Spring of Immortality still has some effect, just not as strong as before. According to the Dragon Emperor's advice to Cai Lin, as long as she drinks it once a month, living for several hundred years is not a big problem.

In that time, Josie would probably have already found a better way to achieve immortality, so the less effective spring water wouldn't matter.

In addition to the greatly diminished efficacy of the Fountain of Immortality, Josie also obtained something else from Chae Rim: the Five Elements Techniques that the Dragon Emperor had cultivated in his early years.

He wouldn't reveal the cultivation techniques that the Dragon Emperor himself practiced.

Even if it were taken out, Josie wouldn't know how to practice and wouldn't be able to practice.

Because it's a practice similar to becoming a god through faith.

He embodies the faith of millions of Qin soldiers, and Qin is himself, and he is the embodiment of the Qin system.

This is why Ziyuan cursed him, and also cursed the million soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

Josie had no interest in doing that kind of thing.

However, the Five Elements theory shouldn't be a major problem.

However, the Five Elements techniques in the world of Gods and Demons are not as powerful as those in Xianxia novels. They can only manipulate these five elements to a certain extent—but not create them out of thin air.

For example, fire. Without combustibles and oxygen, even if Josie mastered magic, she couldn't conjure fire out of thin air.

Moreover, the degree of control also depends on the progress of cultivation.

Although it's not extremely powerful, if used well, its power could be quite considerable.

Of course, due to time constraints, Josie has only just acquired the spell and has a long way to go before she can master it—and it's also thanks to the translation function provided by the trading system, otherwise Josie might not even dare to practice it.

Those spells were all recorded in small seal script on bamboo slips, without any translation. They were incomprehensible to read, let alone practiced.
