I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

"Really? Tony finally made this decision." Depp could hardly contain his joy. "I have to say, that's wonderful."

"Great?" Quentin Baker was a little confused. He asked in disbelief, "Did I hear you wrong? Did you just say...great?"

Depp didn't mince words, saying directly, "You heard me right, I mean this is really great."

“That seems rather impolite, Mr. Depp.” Quentin Baker was a little angry, but he didn’t lash out because Depp had helped him many times before.

Depp said in a serious tone, "Seriously, Quentin, your research isn't really suitable for Stark Industries."

"Not suitable for Stark Industries? You mean?"

"Perhaps you should apply this technology to other areas, such as film and television, or entertainment. These are the places where your technology can truly shine!"

"Stop thinking about using them in war. What the people really need is not weapons, but things that can make them happy from the bottom of their hearts, isn't that right?"

Depp continued, "And my newly established company happens to need someone like you as the director of the virtual reality technology department. What do you think?"

"Your company?" Quentin Baker asked, puzzled. "Would it be convenient for you to tell me about it now?"

Depp said, "I started a comic book company, you may have heard of my company, which published comics such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Batman."

Quentin took out the Iron Man personal monthly magazine from the drawer and said, "Of course I know. Tony subscribed to Iron Man comics for everyone in the company. I never imagined that the company was founded by you!"

Depp pointed to the comic book in the video and said, "That's right, this is it. In the near future, I will bring these superhero comics to the big screen. And your technology is exactly what I need!"

"Furthermore, with your technological support, I think we can not only let everyone see these superhero movies in theaters, but also let everyone get up close and personal with these superheroes in all aspects!"

"And you, Quentin, with your skills and acting, are the perfect choice to portray these superheroes and bring them closer to the audience!"

"In the near future, Quentin, you will be the true hero in everyone's hearts!"

Depp knew that this guy was someone who had always been overlooked, but desperately wanted to be noticed and treated as a hero.

And I can give him a chance to become a superhero and get close to the people!

He has no reason to refuse!

Therefore, Depp's words really made Quentin Baker somewhat tempted.

Therefore, Depp's words really made Quentin Baker somewhat tempted.

He said, "Perhaps... I can give it a try. When can I start the job?"

Depp said, "It'll be ready soon. I'll give you the address, and you can start right now! As for the salary, I'll give you double what you paid before!"

"You're so generous, boss!"

Depp was surprised by how quickly Quentin Baker changed his tune; it seems that as long as you give him enough sweeteners, this guy will definitely be a good employee!

A few days later, the system notification appeared as scheduled.

"Congratulations, host, for changing Quentin Baker's fate and transforming the future supervillain Mysterio into Johnny Depp's chief virtual reality technician. You have obtained 1 Destiny Crystal."

Looking at the fifteen Destiny Crystals in the system space, Depp smiled:

"Everything's ready!"

Summary of Gotham Part 1.

After reading the latest chapter, everyone can probably guess that the protagonist is about to change locations.

I've pretty much finished writing Gotham by now. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the Four Horsemen part of the story, but the later parts are somewhat disappointing.

The main reason is the lack of inspiration.

The lack of inspiration is also because the protagonist is in Gotham, where he currently has virtually no rivals.

Moreover, regardless of whether they are heroes or villains, most of the important figures are already on the protagonist's side, so there's really nothing much to write about unless something big happens.

Therefore, changing the map is inevitable.

However, there's no need to worry about a sense of disconnect. Even when you change maps, you'll definitely encounter characters that are very familiar to everyone.

Not to mention that even if the map changes, it's still in the DC universe, and it's not even that far from Gotham.

Batman and the Joker don't have systems; they can leave Gotham at any time.

Depp's catgirl will definitely go with Depp too.

I hope that in the next chapter, everyone will still be there, still supporting this little nobody. I will try my best to write a story that will satisfy everyone!

Thank you everyone who has read this far, thank you to all the people who have supported us!

I'm going to go back to writing!

Chapter 156 Superman Town

"Congratulations, host, your Mirror of Introduction has been upgraded to Lv.4."

"Congratulations, host. Mission: New Map, completed."

"Randomly opening a new map... New map opened: Smallville, Kansas, USA."

Smallville, a small town?

where is this?

Depp thought about it carefully for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

Isn't this the place where Superman first crashed to Earth and grew up?

Depp didn't realize it at first, mainly because Superman's main activity location in the later stages was Metropolis.

As for the place where he grew up, it's only briefly mentioned in most movies, and the location isn't even specifically marked.

Depp remembered it because of the TV series he watched as a child, "Smallville".

Since the next map is Smallville, Depp has to consider whether he will encounter Superman, Klara Kent.

After all, this one is the real heavyweight.

Clark is different from Bruce; the latter is the father of DC, while the former is the son of DC.

In one comic, Dr. Manhattan himself said that Superman is the center of the entire DC multiverse.

At the same time, everyone who has read American comics knows that Superman's abilities have no upper limit.

Superman can create any miracle if he wants to!

Superman himself represents infinity and miracles!

Simply put, this is a real powerhouse!

The really thick kind!

If Darkseid or Doomsday were to arrive in the future, it would most likely be this person who would have to step in.

Of course, after Depp did a simple calculation...

He discovered that Clark was at most seventeen or eighteen years old, still a high school student.

Furthermore, Clark's abilities weren't fully awakened at this point in time, so he might not even be able to defeat himself...

Clark Kent is just Clark Kent right now; he hasn't truly become the miracle child, Superman.

"Am I... now burdened with the task of raising another baby?"

This gave Depp a sense of relying on his children for support in old age.

Oh no, it's about raising a superhero to protect against Darkseid.

Depp joked, "Looks like I really need to go and see the town."

He had to make sure Clark was on the right track, lest a crisis arise before Superman had even awakened.

Or... Clark, who went astray, became a real threat to this planet.

After all, if Clark were to fall into evil ways, he could absolutely blow up the Earth with a single punch if he wanted to.

Of course, according to the established setting, Clark is an absolutely kind person.

The possibility of him turning to the dark side is not very high.

Regardless, the idea of ​​living in the town where Superman originated for a period of time was something Depp found very interesting.

I was even a little excited!

The following day, news about Gotham's rebirth remained the center of discussion across the United States.

After all, this former crime capital has had the lowest crime rate for three consecutive months.

Now, if you randomly grab someone on the street and ask them, "What is the capital of sin in this country?"

That person will absolutely answer you without hesitation: "Gotham!"

Then, if you've looked at crime rate reports for various cities in recent months, you might wonder: "Why not Chicago, which has been the city with the highest crime rate in the country for three consecutive months?"

That person would then tell you with a disdainful look: "Chicago? Gotham's crime rate last year combined is more than Chicago's total crime rate over the past twenty years!"

Then, you pull another person aside and ask them, "Which city in this country has the best public security and is the safest right now?"

Another person would answer you without hesitation: "Gotham!"

Then, you'll find yourself in a dilemma.

Is the problem with me, or with the world?

Indeed, Gotham is a city that everyone finds contradictory and unbelievable.

This also led to a boom in Gotham's tourism industry during this period.

Both the Wayne Tower and the soon-to-be-completed Depp Tower have gradually become popular spots for travelers to take photos.

Similarly, there was Naihe Island, a former den of crime.

Tourists from all over the world flock here to visit these buildings and sights with a strong Gotham style.

Then, while you're at it, buy some slightly pricey souvenirs at an antique shop.

However, no one cares whether these little items are real or fake.

After all, no one would believe that the batarangs priced at $1,000 and sold over 300 a day in this shop are genuine.

Finally, these guys who bought things at the antique shop would take a photo with the shop's enormous, grey-skinned clerk.
