American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Through the conversation between Superman and Boris, Batman and his crew finally understood the whole truth: the so-called imposter Superman was just a foreigner who had been deceived.

Boris: "He said that if Boris did what he said, he would get a lot, a lot of fame."

Robin: "Nonsense."

Superman: "I think he's telling the truth, Robin."

Robin: "I don't think so. Nobody would be that stupid."

Boris: "Mr. Simpson once said that if a man says he is stupid, it means he is strong."

In the ensuing conversation, Boris's awkward tone revealed to radio listeners that the other person was not clever and that he was being used.

Of course, Batman was not entirely convinced by the reasons Boris gave.

Batman: "Tell me, Boris, how did you open the bank and the vault doors?"

Robin: "Then how did you bend the steel?"

Boris: "Mr. Simpson gave Boris this."

Superman: "What is this?"

Robin: "It looks like a lead cylinder."

Batman: "It's here. It has three tubes of electronics inside, and the battery is strapped to my chest."

Boris: "Boris took it to the door and then the steel softened."

Robin: "Soften?"

Boris: "Yes, yes, the door melted, and then it was Boris's job. It wasn't difficult for a strong man like me."

Batman: "My God, you mean this thing can melt steel?"

Robin: "I don't believe it."

Superman: "I know this is hard to believe, but I've heard of using heat vision to soften steel. Remember when I showed you how to turn bank doors and gears, Batman?"

Batman: "I remember."

Superman: "I think this electronic device can do it."

Robin: "Hmm, hmm, this is a revelation."

Wow, wow, wow, wow!

In the scene, just as everyone was wailing, the sound of police sirens rang out.

The imposter Superman's true identity is revealed, and in the next episode, Boris is finally released for being used. Meanwhile, Superman finds him a new job in the printing department of the Daily Courier.

Announcer: "Boris, the big man, leaves the courthouse with tears of happiness, under the care of his new friend, the one who was offended by his naiveté. It seems Superman has solved another case, but if he thinks he can move on lightly, he's wrong, because an adventure is truly brewing. This adventure is more magical than ever before. Let's begin the new episode of 'The Adventures of Superman.'"

The final episode of The Incredibles wasn't a very long radio show: the entire story was only dubbed for half the broadcast time.

After finishing the narration for this episode of "The Counterfeiters," the announcer immediately took over the content, and as the emotional Kang Kai's lines erupted, the second advertisement, voiced by Xu Fu, appeared.

Xu Fu: "You know what, friends? It would be such a shame if you missed these beautiful comic book icons in Superman Quarterly. Each of these eighteen icons is brightly colored and sparkly, and they would be perfect for pinning on coats, skirts, and hats. Each of your favorite Superman action figures has a corresponding story, just like your friends' Superman comics in The Daily Messenger..."

Chapter 853 Stop Thinking

Xu Fu: "Every time you buy a Superman magazine, you have a chance to get a brand new comic book icon. Even better, you can trade them with your friends, so act now, guys, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is the only way to get one of these Superman badges without spending a penny more. You don't even need to mail it; you can get it at any newsstand or wherever Superman Quarterly is sold. Every issue of Superman contains one Superman badge."

Announcer: "Now, Superman's adventure begins!"

Using Xu Fu's advertisement as a springboard, the announcer then steered the radio program back to Superman's second adventure story for the day.

...

"The Adventures of Incredibles" is the most popular radio drama in New York City to date, and its influence cannot be underestimated.

The day after Xu Fu's advertisement aired, the quarterly edition of Superman was sold out at newsstands across New York City.

The Superman badges printed alongside the quarterly magazine became a popular item in New York, with badges clipped to jackets and coats seen throughout the city. The goal was to be the first to obtain all 18 Superman badges mentioned in the radio drama and to acquire the hidden model discussed by Xu Fu.

Some readers even traveled all over New York City, saying that others had created a guide to all the major newsstands in New York City so that they could collect all the badges as soon as possible.

Besides collecting Superman badges, the CBS radio drama "The Adventures of Incredibles" also produced some unexpected effects.

The day after the radio drama aired, a bank in New York City was robbed.

It is said that when the robber entered the bank, he was wearing a lead tube strapped to his body, and the guards and everyone in the bank thought he was carrying a bomb. After listening to a radio drama, the robber mistakenly believed that the robbery method described in the drama was quite feasible, and actually built the device according to the content of the radio drama.

Of course, the criminals' device couldn't actually replicate the content of the radio drama.

This foolish method of robbery quickly became a hot topic of conversation among New Yorkers after being reported by the media.

By the time Xu Fu discovered this, the other party was already in prison.

He had nothing to say about this; it seems he was not only imitating the crimes in the radio drama, but also his wisdom.

...

[Faith (100258/100000)].

Although the fool's actions were laughable, in a way, they indirectly helped Xu Fu gain some "faith." As news of his simulated radio drama spread, the last bit of "faith" that Xu Fu needed was replenished.

"Ugh!"

At the Messenger magazine office, Xu Fu looked at the alluring bronze shield on the back of his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed the surging emotions within him.

"I need to go out."

Picking up his hat from his desk, Xu Fu explained to the people gathered in the newspaper office that, based on past experience, something special always happened when the newspaper updated, and he needed to prepare in advance.

After leaving the newspaper office, Xu Fu returned home with his driver, drew the curtains, and darkened the room.

There were no lights; in fact, with his current abilities, [the supervisor] could easily see through the darkness.

Taking off his coat to lighten his mood, Xu Fu looked at [Fragments of Time] and [Faith]. The text on them indicated that the collection was complete, and then he made a decision.

As Xu Fu's thoughts changed, the words in his eyes began to flicker, enveloped in countless green lights. The bronze seal on the back of his hand, radiating an alluring bronze metallic luster, also changed under his gaze. A silvery-white luster began to appear on the copper-green seal surface, occupying its edges.

With the accumulation of [faith], the updates of [Silver Seal] seem to have become much smoother, perhaps because the image of Superman has gradually stabilized in Xu Fu's serialized comics and radio dramas.

The noise around me was still deafening, repeating over and over the familiar slogans of The Incredibles: "...Is it a bird? Is it Superman?! Is it an airplane? This is Superman!"

Compared to the previous upgraded [Bronze Badge], this time the sounds were significantly more chaotic—not just hundreds, but tens of thousands, or even more—screaming in Xu Fu's ears. These voices were those of young people and children of all ages. Accompanying these chaotic cries, more and more silver light began to appear on the surface of the shield-shaped S-shaped mark on the back of his hand, radiating a bronze luster.

And so, little by little, the entire process of change, though seemingly long, actually happened very quickly.

Soon after, a silver seal with a metallic sheen appeared on the back of Xu Fu's hand, replacing the previous bronze seal.

[Golden Seal (4/10,000)]

[Faith (258/1000000)].

As the mark was updated, Xu Fu clearly felt the power he had suppressed in the positive world being further released. He breathed a sigh of relief, and a chill instantly swept through the room, condensing a thin layer of frost on the cabinet mirror.

.. .... ....

This level of power is already close to the level of the [Black Iron Seal] ability.

In other words, even without further upgrades, Xu Fu could exist as a superhuman in today's positive world thanks to his power.

After gathering his thoughts, Xu Fu turned his gaze to the text in front of him. The appearance of the "Golden Seal" did not surprise him at all, but the number of ten thousand "Time Fragments" behind the seal gave him a headache, and the million "Faiths" behind it were even more unimaginable.

The upgrade of the Silver Seal alone, whether it was collecting Time Fragments or acquiring Faith, had already cost him a tremendous amount of experience.

If it weren't for Dormammu's invasion of the Antichrist, he wouldn't know when he would have been able to collect the [Time Shards] needed to fully renew the seal. Furthermore, the number of shards required to upgrade to the [Golden Seal] is ten times greater than before.

Just imagining it gives Xu Fu an insurmountable headache.

"Of course, each subsequent upgrade will only be more difficult than the last."

He shook his head, trying to stop thinking about the problem.

Xu Fu turned his attention back to the silver mark that had formed on the back of his hand.

Now that the seal has been improved, the next step is naturally to unlock further abilities.

He hadn't forgotten that a battle awaited him in Antimir.

Chapter 854 The Second Raid

"Sir, we only have three minutes left until the estimated time..."

Based on the location data provided by Maria on the mothership, Tony quickly located the missile in flight.

"Okay, let's get started."

Inside the mothership's control panel, Tony took a deep breath and activated Guardian Mode via his nanotech helmet and nanotech combat suit.

Over New York, he rapidly adjusted his flight direction using the transforming tail on his back, and his nano-armored legs formed a giant flamethrower, catching up with the rocket in mid-air.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Her arms transformed into locks, firmly attached to the nuclear missile. In Sentry Mode, the nano-armor suit's legs emitted fierce flames, slowly correcting the trajectory of the missile in her hand amidst the massive jolts.

Unfortunately, there is no portal here.

"Push the nuclear bomb through the nano-bomb armor into the unoccupied '247' territory in the universe," Tony said with regret inside the spaceship.
