The rewards unlocked from the Joker allowed Fang Yuan to upgrade one C-Rank and one B-Rank item or halo.
Fang Yuan immediately fell into a state of indecision.
He wanted to upgrade every single one of them. Among the B-Rank options, the [Superstar Halo], [Clone Halo], [Arcane Master Halo], and [Error Halo] were all incredibly practical.
"If only I could preview them," he muttered in frustration.
The panel responded quickly—
[The preview function will be available after the panel level increases.]
"...Yet another reason to level up the panel." Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The panel was the foundation of his fish-farming across the myriad worlds; naturally, he wanted its level to be as high as possible.
However, obtaining ten S-Rank Character Templates was no small feat and would take quite a bit of time.
"Should I go check out a random World? If it gets too dangerous, I can just slip back," Fang Yuan pondered. "Panel, can the travel function still be used within a random World?"
[You may return at any time after the 30-day cooldown period!]
Fang Yuan immediately made up his mind—
"Let's do it!"
The greatest danger would simply be laying low for thirty days. After that, he would have no more worries.
"It's only 30 days. Even if I transmigrate as Louis XVI, I'll hold onto my head and keep running for a full month!" Fang Yuan thought resolutely.
However, although he had decided to go to a random World, it wouldn't be right now.
Because he still had an entire ocean to take ownership of.
After the hype for the Joker movie died down, the outside World was suddenly flooded by another piece of news.
"Batman's Robin is Actually a Scion of the Sea God!"
"Video Evidence: Robin No. 3 Possesses Poseidon's Blessing!"
"The Gods Actually Exist!"
It all started when a television station exposed a recording.
In the recording, a group of vicious criminals at Gotham Port blew up the harbor's defenses, allowing seawater to flood more than half the port.
Crucially, the criminals also dumped many piranhas from shipping containers, threatening the lives of many trapped civilians in the port.
Batman arrived at the scene in time, but no one thought he could be of much help; after all, bats don't swim.
But just as the Gotham Police Department was at its wits' end, Robin No. 3 stepped forward.
This was the name used by the citizens of Gotham.
They numbered the Robins according to their order of appearance: Dick was No. 1, Jason was No. 2, and Arthur was No. 3.
Although all three Robins wore the same uniform, it wasn't actually that difficult to tell them apart.
First, Arthur could be identified by his hair; while the other two Robins were black-haired, he had flaxen hair.
Then, people only needed to look at their butts.
It was a universally acknowledged fact that Robin No. 1 had an exceptionally well-developed rear end.
Robin No. 3 had a high level of popularity among the public because Arthur was a key focus for Fang Yuan, and the media outlets under the Wayne Group hyped up news about him every day.
And this time, it was Arthur's rise-to-fame battle.
In the video, as the piranhas were rushing toward the civilians, Arthur suddenly jumped into the water and shouted at the swarm: "Lord Poseidon, please grant me strength!"
In the next moment, a miracle occurred. All the fierce piranhas seemed to feel some kind of summon; they actually turned away from their nearby targets and followed the current back into the containers.
Not only that, but after the piranhas returned, even the spreading seawater was pushed back into the ocean by an invisible force. If not for the water stains remaining on the ground, the civilians on the scene would have thought they were dreaming.
Immediately, everyone began exclaiming that the Sea God had descended!
Subsequently, Bruce began heavily promoting the relationship between Arthur and the Sea God Poseidon. Various experts also suddenly popped up, presenting different evidence to prove that the gods of myth and legend truly existed.
Arthur's title as the "Scion of Poseidon" was instantly established. Much like Thor in the Marvel Universe, he utilized the influence of mythology in people's hearts to quickly pull his reputation above 100.
[Name: Arthur Curry]
[Level: A+]
[Reputation: 105 (Widely Known)]
[Tier 3 Reward: Obtained Character Template - Arthur Curry (A+ Rank, 20% development).]
After Fang Yuan claimed it, the development of the [Arthur Template] became 33%, because his physical attributes were much higher than Arthur's.
Immediately after, Fang Yuan threw the [Arthur Template] and the [Metahuman Template]—which had already fused the abilities of The Deep, Homelander, Queen Maeve, and Banshee—back into the fusion interface.
Because they both included the abilities of The Deep, these two were considered templates of the same type.
A few days later, the fusion was complete. Since Arthur had now become the main component of the fused template, Fang Yuan renamed the [Metahuman Template] to the [Aquaman Template].
[Aquaman Template (A+ Rank, 46% development)].
Although the development progress was halved, the rank jumped from A- to A+.
This meant that Fang Yuan could now go to Atlantis to stir things up.
"Actually, there are very few things that require you to personally show up. Right now, the politics of Atlantis are in utter chaos. Orm hasn't been able to ascend to the throne yet and is at loggerheads with the Council. Your return is perfect for reclaiming the crown."
At Amnesty Bay, Fang Yuan said to Atlanna.
To protect Arthur, he wasn't suited to appear as Robin for the time being; otherwise, during this peak period of popularity, it would be easy for people to interfere with his actions.
So Fang Yuan and Bruce specifically brought him back.
While they were at it, they sought out Atlanna to discuss cleaning up the mess.
Last year, Fang Yuan had caused the originally close cooperation between the King of Atlantis and the Council to fall apart, turning them into mortal enemies.
The originally arrested Speaker of the Black Fish, Karshon, was released due to a lack of evidence. However, Orm naturally wouldn't let her go, declaring that he would dissolve the Council and ensure Karshon received her due punishment once he was crowned King.
To save her own life, Karshon naturally couldn't allow Orm to become King.
But since Orm was the only member of the royal family, the Council could only use various delays to postpone his formal ascension, resulting in widespread panic among the people of Atlantis.
It was the perfect opportunity for Fang Yuan to enter the scene.
Atlanna looked at Fang Yuan with a complex expression: "Atlantis becoming like this... you were the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes, weren't you?"
"You can't talk nonsense without evidence," Fang Yuan said solemnly. "As the Sea God, is there any problem with me saving the people of the ocean in their time of peril?"
"As for why they are in peril, how would I know?"
Atlanna shook her head.
It was no wonder Okwas died without knowing why. Against an opponent like Fang Yuan, even without a sneak attack, he would have had absolutely no power to resist.
"I only need to take Orm away safely," Atlanna said with a sigh.
Long before she was exiled, she was actually no longer the Queen of Atlantis. Returning this time to be Queen was only to hand it over to Fang Yuan, so she didn't care—and couldn't afford to care—about the life or death of the Atlanteans.
"That is natural."
Fang Yuan took out the golden trident and changed back into his vintage white suit. After the dawdling Bruce had settled Arthur in, he immediately opened a spatial portal leading to the seabed.
