Chapter 153: The people are simple and simple in Gotham City
On June 3, a supernews came out.
"Planet Daily", "Gotham Daily", "Gotham Evening News" and many other well-known domestic media used more than half of the pages to publish news with different headlines but the same content.
Gotham Daily --- "The Strongest News of the Year, the City's Crime Rate Broke Through Record Low Yesterday!" 》
Gotham Evening News--- "The Redeemers of Gotham, Issue 1 (Interview with Mayor Cobert)", "The Redeemers of Gotham, Issue 2 Preview (Bruce Wayne and Leonardo Depp)"
The Planet Daily --- "Is it the beginning of the dawn? Or is it the calm before the darkness? Behind the sharp drop in Gotham's crime rate, is it the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality? 》
When so many media outlets rushed to cover it, the whole country was buzzing about it.
The former capital of sin seems to be trying to get rid of its decades-old title.
Just a day before the newspaper was published, Gotham's crime rate had officially dropped to a point where it was 0.01 percent lower than Chicago's.
Gotham, a city with a long history and cultural heritage, officially gave the hat of the Sin Capital to a distant friend, Chicago.
In the Gotham Daily Journal, the reporter focused on interviewing the chief of the Gotham Police Department, James Gordon.
"Maybe you think that the reason why Gotham's crime rate has dropped to such an extent is because of Mayor Cobert's governance, the reorganization of the Gotham Police Department, and the Wayne Group's construction of Gotham," Gordon said. ”
"First of all, I need to first affirm the important role that Mayor Colbert and the Wayne Group play in this, and the Gotham Police Department is indeed a lot stronger than before after I became the chief, at least we are like real police officers now."
Gordon's self-deprecating words made the reporters and cameramen laugh at the scene.
Then, Gordon looked out the window into the distance and said with a deep look in his eyes, "But these are not the point, the point is the man who made us make a change." If it weren't for him, Mayor Corbert might still be a gangster kid by now, and you'd even see me chasing him with a gun in the streets. ”
"If it weren't for him, maybe the Gotham Police Department would still be colluding with the gangsters as usual, doing those dirty things that are even more gangsters than the gangs."
"And I, maybe because of the child's milk powder money, endure the exclusion of those colleagues, and stay up late every day under the command of Rob that guy to work overtime."
"As for the Wayne Group, or Bruce Wayne, that man has a relationship with him as a mentor and friend, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Bruce Wayne's mentor."
Gordon's words made everyone present feel a little incredible!
Whether it is Mayor Oswald Kobert, or Bruce Wayne, the helmsman of the Wayne Group, or the chief of the music police department, James Gordon, who is known as the Knight of Light by the general public.
are all well-known characters who stand at the top of Gotham City.
And they all seem to be inextricably linked to the man in the mouth of Director James Gordon.
It seems that they are all gradually on the right track because of the man in James Gordon's mouth.
In other words, Gotham can have the change it has now, and that man is the real hero, the real ... Hero!
The female reporter present tied her hair back and asked curiously, "So... Director Gordon, could you tell me who that man is? ”
"Maybe, you can guess."
The continued decline in the crime rate in Gotham made Gordon obviously in a good mood, and even started a dumb riddle with the female reporter.
The female reporter thought for a moment and said, "Could it be... Is it Batman? ”
Gordon shook his head.
The camera brother behind her said, "Maybe... Is it Crocodile Kid, or Catwoman? ”
Gordon shook his head again and said with a smile, "Dude, I can see that you are an animal lover, haha!" ”
The makeup artist on the side thought for a moment and said, "Could it be... Iron-blooded prosecutor and cold-faced detective? ”
Gordon still shook his head, and said in his heart that Inspector Cold Face is down!
Finally, the gaffer, who had been silent, said, "Is it the Iron Fist?" That mysterious and violent Gotham vigilante? ”
In a sense, this guy really guessed right.
Gordon on the other side said: "None of this is what you say, but you should be familiar with that man, his name is Leonardo Depp, an antique shop." ”
"Depp? Is that the young entrepreneur on the roof of Gotham? The gaffer said incredulously.
"That's right, it's him." Gordon nodded.
The makeup artist looked like a nymphomaniac and said, "It's that incredibly handsome Depp!" I'm a big fan of him, but isn't he an entrepreneur who has just risen to prominence for less than a year? How could it have such a profound impact on so many people? ”
Gordon shook his head and said, "I can't tell you this, it's as if he has a unique magic in him." ”
In an interview with the Gotham Evening News, Oswald shared his experience of governing Gotham on the one hand, and praised the man who pulled him out of the quagmire.
"If it weren't for him, I would still be in the Falcone gangster family, a mascot-like minion right now."
"Honestly, I still don't know why he came to help someone like me."
"Maybe it's because of fate, who knows."
"Either way, though, I lived up to his expectations, and I became the mayor of Gotham and worked with others to make the city better and better."
Facing the popular mayor of Gotham and the king of Gotham's underground, the host spoke with extra caution.
"So, can you tell us who the person who helped you get out of the quagmire?"
Oswald was very happy when he heard this, and he said: "I am very willing to introduce my benefactor and mentor to you, and he is also my eternal friend, Mr. Depp. ”
"Depp..."The host said: "Is it the new entrepreneur, the owner of Depp's toy factory, Mr. Leonardo Depp?" ”
Oswald said, "Yes, it's him, an angelic man. ”
The host, who was wearing a tight skirt, gently brushed his blonde hair and said: "That's right, Mr. Depp is indeed a beautiful and sexy man like an angel!" ”
As for the Met's Daily Planet, it explores the changes in Gotham during this time, as well as the glorious achievements of the past.
In the end, a news writer for the Daily Planet predicted that Gotham's crime rate would soon rebound and even surpass its all-time peak.
This made all the Gotham people who saw this report angry!
As soon as the Gotham Daily and Gotham Evening News were released, the most talked about people in the streets and alleys were not Gordon and Oswald, who were interviewed.
It's Depp, who didn't show up at all.
In the mouths of Gordon and Oswald, the new Gotham entrepreneur is almost described as a god-like figure.
Although the young man who built his own business empire in just one year is legendary, the unanimous tone of Gordon and Oswald in this interview still surprised everyone.
This has more than doubled the sales of Depp's businesses.
The next day, Bruce and Depp were interviewed by the Gotham Evening News.
During the interview, the host asked a lot of questions about Bruce and Depp.
Bruce nodded in acknowledgment to these questions and did not directly disagree.
However, perhaps because of the photographer's angle, in the interview photo published by the newspaper, Bruce showed his face, while Depp appeared with his back.
A few days later, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet personally published an apology and congratulated Gotham City on breaking new lows for its crime rate.
And, the editor-in-chief also predicts that perhaps in the near future, Gotham City's crime rate will be reduced to the lowest in the country.
Half a month later, Gotham City's crime rate officially became the lowest in the United States.
At the same time, in the midst of the revelry of countless Gotham people, Oswald's approval rating approached one hundred percent.
The full range of figurines released by Depp Toy Factory was also snapped up by the citizens of Gotham.
When Gotham's crime rate was the lowest in the nation on the first day, Depp saw a countdown sign behind the system mission.
Two months and twenty-nine days.
On September 11th, with the prompt that the mission was completed, Depp finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This damn mission is finally done!"
"Congratulations to the host, the mission of Gotham City has been completed."
"Reward Gotham Hearts x1, Destiny Crystals x1."
Depp picked up the dark black stone in his hand, and when he held the stone called the Heart of Gotham in his hand, Depp seemed to feel a heart-like beating sensation in it.
"I don't know when I'll be able to use it, but there's nothing wrong with keeping it!"
As for the Destiny Crystal, he seems to have accumulated a lot.
To be honest, Depp is still curious about what new features can be added to the profile mirror after being upgraded again.
At the same time, Depp found that when the mission of Gotham City, which is simple and simple, was completed, a new mission was immediately refreshed.
Mission Name: New map.
Mission World: DC, Gotham.
Requirements: Upgrade the Mirror of Profile to Lv.4.
Reward: A second city will be opened randomly.
This is......
Looking at the new mission, Depp was a little dumbfounded.
It turns out that the most important ability of the Level 4 Introduction Mirror is to help you open a second city?
In other words, if you upgrade the Mirror of the Introduction to level 4, the system will allow you to leave Gotham and go to a new city!
To be honest, this made Depp a little excited.
After all, even if he now has a portal, he can freely travel through the Marvel world, the Black Robe Picket world, or other DC cities.
But there is a strict time limit!
To be honest, Depp hasn't done what he wants for a long time, so he doesn't have to worry about the sun in time.
The skies of Gotham, even now, were overcast, and the sun still couldn't brighten up the city.
Moreover, for this reward of randomly opening a city's residency, Depp also has a feeling of drawing a lottery.
"I wonder where the next city will be?"
Depp excitedly checked the number of fate crystals in his system space, after all, if the number of life crystals was too bad, he would not be able to upgrade the profile mirror, let alone go to other cities.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... A total of eleven Destiny Crystals, as well as two Crystal Shards.
To be honest, it's a bit worse.
That's a full four pieces short!
Just when Depp was struggling, there was a heavenly prompt sound from the system.
"Congratulations to the host for preventing Ben Parker's death, changing the trajectory of Ben Parker's life, Peter Parker, and Mae Parker's life, and obtaining the Destiny Crystal x1."
"Congratulations to the host for changing the fate of Pamela Lilian Easley, transforming Poison Ivy into a researcher at the Depp Botanical Research Institute, Ms. Ivy, and obtaining the Destiny Crystal x1."
"Congratulations to the host for changing the fate of Victor Fries, transforming the Frozen Man into the director of the Depp Institute of Life and Cryonics, Dr. Cryo, and obtaining the Destiny Crystal X1."
Good guys, three pieces came at once!
This dog system can be regarded as a human!
But... There's still a piece left, where can I get it?
Just when Depp was entangled, a depressed guy called Depp for a long time.
Quentin Baker.
A supervillain who will be known as Mysterio in the future.
Seeing this guy, Depp smiled in his heart.
Hey, isn't this destiny crystal coming?
Answering the phone, Depp said excitedly: "Hello, Quentin, we haven't been in touch for a long time." ”
On the other side of the phone, Quentin Baker's voice looked a little depressed, and he said, "Good evening, Mr. Depp, actually... I was fired. ”
"Really? Tony made that decision after all. The joy on Depp's face was almost irrepressible, and he said: "I have to say, that was great." ”
"Great?" Quentin Baker was a little short-circuited, and he wondered, "Did I hear it wrong, you just said... That's great? ”
Depp didn't hide it and said bluntly: "You heard it right, I just said that this is really good." ”
"That doesn't seem polite, Mr. Depp." Quentin Baker was a little angry, but because Depp had helped him many times, he didn't have a seizure.
Depp said seriously: "Seriously, Quentin, your research is not actually suitable for the Stark Group. ”
"Not for Stark Group? What do you mean? ”
"Perhaps, you should use this technology for other things, such as film and television, such as entertainment. These are the areas where your skills really shine! ”
"Don't always think about using it in war, what people really need is not weapons, but something that makes them happy from the bottom of their hearts, isn't it?"
Depp continued: "And the company I just founded just needs a person like you as the director of the virtual reality technology department, I don't know what you think? ”
"Your company?" Quentin Baker wondered, "Can you introduce it to me now?" ”
Depp said: "I set up a comic book company, and you may have heard of my company, which published comics like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Batman, etc. ”
Quentin took out the Iron Man personal monthly magazine from the drawer and said, "Of course I know that Tony ordered the Iron Man comics for everyone in the company, but I didn't expect that the company was actually founded by you!" ”
Depp pointed to the cartoon in the video and said, "That's right, this is it." In the near future, I'm going to bring these superhero comics to the big screen. And your skills are exactly what I need! ”
"And, with the blessing of your technology, I think we can not only let everyone see these superhero movies in the cinema, but also let everyone get close and full of these superheroes!"
"And you, Quentin, your skills and your acting skills, are the perfect choice to play these superheroes and get up close and personal with everyone!"
"In the near future, Quentin, you're the real hero in everyone's mind!"
Depp knows that this guy is actually a guy who has always been unappreciated, but he is particularly eager to be taken seriously and is regarded as a hero by everyone.
And I can just give him a chance to become a superhero and get up close to the people!
There's no reason for him to refuse his own!
Therefore, Depp's words really made Quentin Baker a little moved.
Therefore, Depp's words really made Quentin Baker a little moved.
He said, "Perhaps... Can you give it a try, when can I be onboarded? ”
Depp said: "Right away, I'll give you the address, and you can go to work now!" As for the salary, I'll give you double the previous one! ”
"You're so generous, boss!"
The speed at which Quentin Baker changed his words also surprised Depp, it seems that as long as the sweet dates are enough, this guy is definitely a good employee!
After a few days, a prompt appears as promised.
"Congratulations to the host for changing the fate of Quentin Baker, transforming the future supervillain Mysterio into the chief virtual reality technician of Depp Pictures, and obtaining the Destiny Crystal X1."
Looking at the fifteen Destiny Crystals in the system space, Depp smiled:
"Let's live!"
