I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

As Depp spoke, he seemed to realize something. He frowned, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the water molecules around him.

After this period of mental enhancement, Depp's ability to sense water molecules in his surroundings has been greatly strengthened, and the range can now cover almost a quarter of Gotham City.

Of course, the transmission distance of water molecules is not that far; at most, it can only be transmitted to a place of about three kilometers.

With himself as the center, Depp sensed the water around him.

He can now distinguish between good and bad water quality and what impurities it contains.

For example, he perceives the foul-smelling sewage in the sewer as dark green, and blood as light red when inside the body, but turning bright red when it flows out of the body.

Other types of water containing different chemical reagents and metallic elements appeared to him to have different colors and shades.

However, deep beneath Gotham, where the distance is almost the limit of Depp's perception.

There was a pool of liquid that, in Depp's perception, radiated light like the sun.

This was the first time Depp had ever sensed glowing water molecules...

However, that place is too deep below the ground; with Depp's current abilities, he simply cannot teleport there.

However, he has already memorized that place and will definitely go and see it when he has the chance in the future.

After taking Grandy back to the antique shop, Depp first gave the guy a good bath, and then, just like he had taught Wellen, he told Grandy what he needed to know to be an excellent receptionist.

However, Grandi's comprehension and intelligence are clearly inferior to Wellen's; this guy learns extremely slowly.

Depp wasn't in a hurry, after all, Grandy's real purpose wasn't as a sales clerk, but as a bodyguard who was nearly immortal and possessed superhuman strength.

Chapter 88 Lv.3 Introduction Mirror

As the days went by, Tony would enthusiastically tell Depp about the progress of his N+1 version of the nanotech armor every day.

"Depp, I think I've almost made this thing perfect!"

In the video, Tony proudly shows off his latest nanotech armor, known as Mark 57, which can integrate clothing, glasses, and other personal items made of nanomaterials.

“He’s amazing!” Depp said. “Perhaps you could consider making a nanotech suit for Peter.”

No sooner had Depp finished speaking than Peter, dressed in a homemade Spider-Man suit, peeked out from behind Tony and said, "I think Mr. Depp is right! Mr. Stark, this suggestion is definitely worth considering!"

Tony looked at the energetic little boy behind him and said like a father, "Have you finished your homework today?"

Peter said smugly, "Of course, I can finish all those simple questions in just ten minutes during a break between classes!"

Peter, a top student whose IQ is no less than Tony's, is quite dismissive of the school's simple curriculum.

Tony nodded, a look of approval on his face, and said, "Depp's suggestion is certainly worth considering, but I hope you can design a suit of armor that best suits you. I believe you have the ability, Spider-Boy."

“It’s Spider-Man!” Peter corrected him firmly.

However, upon hearing that Stark was willing to help him make the armor, Peter jumped up with joy. In his excitement, he pushed too hard and bumped his head directly into the ceiling.

"Mr. Stark is the best! I'll go and think about what kind of armor I need!"

After saying that, he winked at Depp in the video.

During this period, Wellen took full charge of the toy factory's operations and collaborated with television stations to develop a series of short four-panel comics and novels to promote the sales of figurines and other toys.

According to a report by Wellen to Depp, official long-running comics and film adaptations of Batman and Iron Fist are also in the works, at Depp's direction.

Due to the gradual diversification of its industries, the Depp Toy Factory will soon be renamed the Depp Group.

Bruce Wayne also helped a lot in Johnny Depp's pursuit of exclusive adaptation rights for Batman and other works.

During this time, under Depp's tutelage, Grandi not only learned how to manage the antique shop, but also changed many of his bad habits.

For example, he has a habit of not liking to take a bath or change his clothes.

Grandi, though still a gray-skinned zombie, has at least become a clean zombie who enjoys doing housework.

In the bedroom, Selena, still sweating from exercising, nestled in Depp's arm and fell into a deep sleep.

Depp looked at the woman in his arms with affection, covered her with a light blanket, and then kissed Selena's forehead.

Selena, feeling the warmth of Depp's lips, rubbed her cheek against Depp's arm and smiled happily.

At the same time, the long-absent system voice rang in Depp's ears.

"The system has detected that the host has altered the trajectory of Wellen Jones's fate. The supervillain Killer Croc will no longer exist in Gotham. The host has received a reward for saving a character from the storyline."

"Quest Rewards: 5x Life Concentrate Essence, 5x Mirror of Introduction Fragments"

The long-awaited system notification finally sounded, and Depp experienced double the joy in that instant.

From the very beginning, Depp was determined to help Wellen change her fate.

After Harvey didn't become Two-Face, and as a result, he received a system reward.

Depp knew that when he completely severed the connection between Wayne and the Killer Croc, he would definitely receive the reward of changing the character in the storyline.

Similarly, T'Chaka, T'Challa's father, wore the Black Panther armor at all times because he followed his own advice.

If you survive the Hydra attack, you will definitely receive the reward of a changed destiny!

Of course, this is a story.

However, this time, compared to the time that changed Harvey's fate, he was given five fewer days to travel in the American comic book world.

Depp probably thought that Wellen's reward was less because he was less important and famous than Harvey in the DC Universe.

In any case, he had obtained five bottles of concentrated life essence and five fragments of the Mirror of Introduction.

Now, the Mirror of Introduction can be upgraded to level three!

Depp is quite looking forward to seeing what new features the Level 3 Mirror will have.

After conducting research, Depp discovered that the Level 3 Mirror of Introduction had added many new features compared to the Level 2 Mirror of Introduction.

The first addition is the function to view how much the other person likes you.

The level of favorability is divided into several levels from low to high: [Fight to the death], [Hostility], [Hospitality], [Stranger], [Quite fond], [Trust], [Close friend], and [Bound by life and death].

For example, Selena Gomez's current level of affection for Johnny Depp is the highest level, "destined to be together through thick and thin".

This feature is a nightmare for traitors who like to backstab others.

In addition, the Mirror of Introduction can now be used on items.

It can display the names of objects in view, according to Depp's wishes.

It is equivalent to the first-level introductory mirror of the object version.

Finally, and most interestingly for Depp, the Mirror of Profiles will issue a mission each time Depp travels through the world of American comics.

Depp can choose to complete this task; there's a reward for completing it, and no penalty for not completing it.

Whether to do it or not is entirely up to Depp.

For example, Depp can now see the missions that belong to Gotham.

Mission Name: Gotham, The Knight Returns

Mission World: DC, Gotham

Mission objective: Help the Gotham Knights find their own path.

Task reward: Unknown.

Chapter 89 Problematic Youth Bruce

Help the Gotham Knights find their way...

Images of Bruce Wayne and Batman naturally came to Depp's mind.

It seems that Bruce, this troubled young man, still has quite a few problems that require his help.

At the same time, after the Mirror of Introduction is upgraded to level three, the conditions for advancing to level four also change.

Instead of the Mirror of Destiny fragments, an item called the Destiny Crystal is required.

It takes fifteen Destiny Crystals to upgrade from level three to level four.

Depp speculated that the unknown reward of the system mission was very likely the Destiny Crystal.

Furthermore, if you completely alter the trajectory of a character's fate, you will also obtain a Fate Crystal.

Conversely, successful popularization of science and altering the trajectory of a character's fate will no longer grant fragments of the Mirror of Introduction.

Depp felt it was time to visit Bruce and see what troubles the guy had this time.

At Wayne Manor, Depp arrived uninvited, but Bruce was not there.

During the day, Bruce, as the leader of Wayne Enterprises, is even busier than at night.

However, Alfred still let Depp in. He glanced at his watch and asked considerately, "Young Master Bruce will probably be back in two or three hours. You can wait for him here. If you need, I can prepare some desserts and drinks for you."

Depp didn't stand on ceremony. He had enjoyed many of Alfred's cookings during this time and was very satisfied with his superb culinary skills. He said, "Thank you very much. Please prepare some more desserts and milk tea for me."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Alfred turned around and rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "How can this guy always be so shameless? Doesn't he know what it means to be reserved?"

Two hours later, Depp had eaten more than a dozen desserts and seven or eight cups of milk tea, but Bruce still hadn't returned.

Alfred sat elegantly in a chair, sipping his coffee and gazing out the window at the sky painted red by the setting sun.

To be honest, Depp felt that Alfred at this moment was more like a true aristocrat than Bruce.

Elegant, composed, and knowing how to enjoy life, without having to worry about money.

Depp believes this is why everyone hates capitalists, yet everyone wants to be one.

Indeed, Depp believes that the so-called aristocracy is just a special form of capitalist.

Bruce, for some well-known reasons, has lived in pain and hatred.

From his teenage years, he was out of step with his peers.

Simply put, this guy has never had a youthful spirit, nor the vitality that a young person should have.

As Bruce grew into adulthood, this lack of a part of him made his personality increasingly profound and contradictory.

Fortunately, after Bruce returned to Gotham, he met Depp and others, which opened a crack in his previously closed heart.
