I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Together with Selena, they quit their jobs at the small-town high school and returned to Gotham.

Compared to Smallville, Gotham, which is undergoing rapid reforms, needs Depp's return even more.

Depp then finally called the extremely anxious Lao Guan.

After a few brief pleasantries, Depp hung up the phone, and Selena climbed onto his arm and asked, "We're going back now, right?"

Depp lowered his head and kissed her gently, then said, "It should be like this: do you want to go back to Gotham, or continue living here?"

Upon hearing this, Selena replied without hesitation, "Of course I want to go back to Gotham. Although life in Smallwell is comfortable, it makes me feel a bit out of place. Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time: cats are more suited to a dark, cramped, yet vast and magnificent city like Gotham."

Depp pinched Selena's upturned nose and said, "Then let's go back, after the Smallwell High School entrance exams are over."

"Ok!"

Selena nodded vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation.

It wasn't until this moment that Depp suddenly realized.

Selena has always preferred and been more suited to life in Gotham City.

As a mysterious and curious cat, keeping it as a pet in the name of safety seems like a mistake and a foolish decision.

Two months later, he and Selena, the little wildcat, will return to Gotham.

But before that, Depp's job is to make sure all the students in Class 13 get into their dream schools!

And Class 13 and town teacher Levi will surely become legends in Smallville!

Similarly, the students nurtured by teacher Levi Strauss, who possess a red faith, will soon spread throughout the United States, preparing for future reforms.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time, Depp did not take any new actions.

He spent most of his time teaching students and spending time with Selena.

At the same time, Depp Logistics' business is also developing rapidly.

Ruszeze's teleportation magic was quite effective, continuously transporting supplies to the seven kingdoms in the sea, and under Depp's guidance, he was actively trading with Depp Logistics' cargo ships.

Furthermore, due to the rise of Depp Logistics, nearly half of Gotham City's ports have gradually come under Depp's control, becoming part of the group's new territory.

Everything is going smoothly, and today is the day the students of Smallwell High School will take their first round of college entrance exams.

With the exam over, the students in Class 13 were all full of confidence.

Only Clark, the good student who never encountered any difficult problems, looked troubled.

"What's wrong, Clark?"

Chloe ran up behind Clark, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.

Clark turned around and said hesitantly, "I'm torn between continuing my studies or going to a big city to start my career."

"Are you crazy, Clark?" Chloe exclaimed in surprise. "Of course you should go to school! How can you possibly find a job you're satisfied with if you don't go to college?"

Upon hearing this, Clark shook his head, sighed softly, and then walked towards his father, who was waiting for him not far away, without looking back.

Watching Clark's retreating figure, Chloe felt somewhat helpless, but she was already used to it.

Clark has been like this since they first met. Although the group is close, Clark always seems to be hiding some secret.

While it's frustrating, this sense of mystery is precisely what Chloe finds most fascinating about Clark.

After Clark left with his father, Lex Luthor drove up to Chloe from behind and asked, "Hey Chloe, why does Clark look so worried? Did he do badly on his test? But I remember his grades have always been very good."

Chloe looked at Lex, shrugged, and said, "I don't know either, but that's just how he is. He always has a preoccupied look on his face, making him hard to read."

“That’s what makes Clark so charming, isn’t it?” Lex tapped the car door lightly and said, “Want a ride?”

“Of course!” Chloe climbed into the passenger seat of Lex's car without hesitation.

As Clark drove home with his father, he suddenly said, "Father, I want to go and chat with Brother Depp for a while."

Upon hearing this, Jonathan Kent immediately agreed, "No problem, I'll take you to Depp's villa right away."

A dozen minutes later, Clark got out of the car, waved goodbye to his father, and then went up to press the doorbell of Depp's house.

Soon, Depp opened the door to welcome this future ultimate superstar.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Clark?" Depp asked as he made him some tea.

Clark sat on the sofa, looking quite reserved. He asked, "There are indeed some things, about my...future."

"The future?" Depp narrowed his eyes slightly; he knew exactly what Clark was thinking.

After taking the college entrance exam, this kid was torn between going to university or going to work in the metropolis.

After all, according to the original plot, Clark ultimately chose to go to Metropolis to start his work.

On the one hand, Clark could grasp all the knowledge on Earth in a short time, so there was no need to waste time at university.

On the other hand, for Clark, college life was even more dangerous than high school life. Living in the same dormitory with roommates greatly increased the chances of his supernatural powers being discovered.

This is an outcome that neither Clark nor his adoptive parents wanted to see.

For Clark, however, getting into the same university as his good friends like Lacalan, Chloe, or Pete would be a very happy thing.

The dilemma of choosing between these two options left Clark in a state of confusion.

Depp handed Clark a steaming cup of black tea and asked, "Are you struggling with whether to continue your studies or go to work after your exams?"

Clark nodded and said, "Yes, that's what's really troubling me."

After some thought, Depp decided to have Clark, as in the script, refuse to go to college and instead start a new life in the Metropolis.

“My suggestion is…” he said, holding a steaming teacup in both hands, “Go to the metropolis and start a new life for yourself.”

"To the Metropolitan Area?"

Clark hesitated, "But then I won't be able to go to school with my friends."

“But this will keep your special qualities from being discovered, and it will also keep the dangers caused by you away from the classmates you care about,” Depp said. “And, once you’re in the metropolis, you can rent a single apartment and then, at night, do your own good deeds like Batman.”

"An act of justice that belongs to me..."

Clark murmured, seemingly unsure whether to accept it all.

However, Depp wanted to speed things up a bit, saying, "That's right, once you get to Metropolis, you can become a superhero, save the people, punish criminals, and become the protector of Metropolis and even the whole world."

"Trust me, Clark, you absolutely have the ability."

"Furthermore, not going to the same school as Chloe and the others doesn't mean they've left your life forever. On weekends, you can absolutely go to their university and spend the whole evening with them!"

"As for the knowledge in university... it's all too easy for you. You could learn it all with just a glance, couldn't you?"

Clark was completely won over by Depp's words of therapy. He nodded blankly and said from the bottom of his heart, "Yeah, Depp is right. As for college... well, if we don't go, we don't go!"

"Are you really sure?" Depp asked.

Clark hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've... made up my mind."

“No, you haven’t really decided yet,” Depp said. “Now, close your eyes, calm your breathing, and tell me your choice in ten seconds.”

Clark closed his eyes, and his vision of the future began to appear before them automatically.

And those images were precisely...

Ten seconds later, Depp asked, "Now, tell me your choice, Clark."

Clark opened his eyes and said without hesitation, "I'm going to the Metropolis and becoming a reporter!"

“Congratulations on making the choice you’ve always wanted,” Depp said in a seductive tone. “Now, I think I can show you some things.”

Chapter 325 Spaceship and Key

Upon hearing Depp's words, Clark didn't respond immediately. After a few seconds, he asked with surprise:

"Are you taking me to other Kryptonian settlements? Or... something else related to our origins?"

The clever Clark immediately guessed Depp's thoughts.

Furthermore, Clark always considered Depp to be a Kryptonian, and therefore regarded Depp as his older brother.

Whether it's Kryptonians or anything else related to Krypton, Clark can get a lot of interest in them.

However, the kid still hasn't realized that Depp isn't actually a Kryptonian.

Depp nodded and said, "That's right. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the spaceship that brought us to Earth."

Upon hearing this, Clark gripped his teacup tighter.

If it weren't for the biological protective barrier, this teacup would definitely have shattered into pieces.

Clark's eyes were filled with a mixture of tension and excitement.

This was the first time in eighteen years that he had come so close to his origins.

"Is there... anything about me on it?"

Clark asked cautiously.

Depp downed his tea in one gulp, cleared his throat, and said, "Of course, because that's the spaceship your father prepared for you."

“My father...”

Clark instinctively glanced back at his farm, then immediately realized that Depp wasn't referring to Jonathan Kent, but rather...

"You mean, that ship was prepared for me by my biological father on Krypton?!"

Clark asked in shock.

Depp patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "That's right, it was your biological father, the greatest scientist on Krypton, who built the probe ship to expand his territory, but not the ship that sent you to Earth."

"The spaceship that sent you to Earth has long since crashed, and your remains have been lost."

Depp could clearly feel that Clark's breathing became noticeably heavier after he said those words.

Clearly, this son of Krypton, a god among men, longs to meet his biological parents.

Clark placed the teacup on the table, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then... my father and mother, are they still alive?"

Depp looked at the eighteen-year-old boy in front of him, whose tiger-like eyes were filled with tears and whose sword-like eyebrows were slightly drooping.
