American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 90 Xiao Xian's Heavenly Eye

Flying all the way to the Osborn headquarters, Xiao Xian summoned Maria Dole, the female executive who had met him before. After their last meeting, she became a big fan of Xiao Xian, not only insisting on exchanging contact information but also trying every means to transfer him to the headquarters.

If Maria Duer weren't already over forty and looked a bit old, Xiao Xian would have been willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Of course, in the current situation where he wouldn't sacrifice himself, asking for help from her wouldn't be a problem; Tomie often makes men do chores but doesn't let them play cards.

After listening to Xiao Xian's request, Maria Durr agreed without hesitation.

"Mr. Xiao Xian, I can help you with the Canary Islands device."

Maria Duer's eyes sparkled with anticipation for the collaboration, showing no concern whatsoever for the consequences.

"Thanks." Xiao Xian nodded. He knew that it was no easy feat for Maria Duer to do this. The competition and power struggles within Osborn Corporation were incredibly complex, and countless people were eyeing the positions of board members. By doing this, Maria Duer was essentially handing over leverage to her enemies.

Once Xiao Xian takes control of the Osborn Group, he will definitely promote her and give her a raise, and give her more power within the company. Of course, she can forget about playing poker.

The Canary Islands device is an advanced technological device capable of rapidly distributing drugs, such as lizard serum, throughout New York City.

In The Amazing Spider-Man, the Lizard planned to use the Canary Device to spray the Lizard Serum throughout New York City, but Spider-Man ended up using the Canary Device to spray the antidote for the Lizard Serum throughout the city instead.

That's right, Xiao Xian's plan is to use the Canary Device to scatter his flesh and blood throughout New York City, and then use the Xiao Xian brand surveillance to form a Sky Eye surveillance system to monitor the entire city and thus lock down the super villains in New York.

In any case, even if only one cell remains, the super regeneration can serve as the core of regeneration. A normal person has about 40 trillion to 60 trillion cells. Even without using other bodies, theoretically, Xiao Xianguang's own body can easily monitor New York.

However, when selecting the body interface, the less flesh and blood there is, the smaller the light screen becomes. If it's too small, it's difficult to see. In other words, the resolution of the large and small light screens is the same, so although it's difficult for Xiao Xian to see, he can still see it.

However, considering the sheer number of them, Xiao Xian certainly wouldn't have time to check them one by one. He would need to combine clues from social media to confirm the general location of the supervillains before using Xiao Xian's surveillance equipment to find their exact location.

Another benefit of scattering flesh and blood all over New York is that it can greatly increase Xiao Xian's immortality, especially considering the flesh and blood that drift onto others.

Unless someone nuclearly bombs New York and then wipes out all the New Yorkers, Xiao Xian is physically immortal. In fact, considering population movement, to completely kill Xiao Xian, one would have to kill people all over the world, including everyone in New York who came into contact with Xiao Xian's cells when the Canary Device was launched.

On the rooftop of the Oscar Building, having moved the Canary Device there, Xiao Xian suddenly wondered if Osborn was researching this thing to use as a super weapon capable of poisoning an entire city? In any case, Xiao Xian was inclined to do so, instantly raising the weapon's prestige and price.

With an indifferent shrug, Xiao Xian inserted the glass tube containing his own flesh and blood mixture into the Canary Device, and then pressed the launch button.

Xiao Xian isn't the villainous Dr. Lizard from the movies, and he doesn't have the habit of waiting for the countdown. Before bringing the Canary Device up, he used Maria Dolce's authority to turn off the countdown program, making it as convenient as pressing and using it immediately.

Watching his own flesh and blood fly into the sky, Xiao Xian nodded in satisfaction. Now, as long as New York doesn't perish, I won't die. Of course, if the other party has the ability to annihilate souls, then pretend I didn't say anything.

Flying back to meet up with Starlight and the White Queen, Xiao Xian led the two of them into the night of the hunt.

Next, Xiao Xian seemed to have activated a cheat code, capturing seven or eight super villains in a row. However, no more missions appeared. Xiao Xian pouted in dissatisfaction and immediately lost much of his motivation.

"Your intelligence is incredible!" Starlight exclaimed, looking at Xiao Xian with utmost admiration. "You even managed to spot that toad-man hiding in the sewers!"

"He was seen by an informant when he went in." Xiao Xian shrugged. Many pieces of flesh and blood floated into the sewer and drifted along with it, combining together to form large light screens, which were very conspicuous among the many small light screens in the rebirth space.

Not only the toad-man, Xiao Xian also saw other things in the sewers, such as a clown holding a red balloon. How to put it, when Xiao Xian first came to this world, he didn't know the nature of this world, but now, Xiao Xian was certain at a glance that this was 99% Pennywise from It.

No wonder superheroes are reluctant to deal with weirdos, monsters like Tomie and Pennywise. If there's no mission, Xiao Xian wouldn't want to touch them either.

Don't be fooled by Pennywise's portrayal as a clown who scares children in the movie and is eventually killed by a few people's words. In the background, he is a cosmic evil god who doesn't feed on material things but on human fear. However, Xiao Xian now feeds on human hatred, so from that perspective, the two are quite similar.

"Where do we go next?" the White Queen asked.

"We're now at the top of the leaderboard, with only a handful of people ahead of us, like Mr. Fantastic's Fantastic Four and Tony Stark."

"Forget it, just showing our faces is enough. I'm too lazy to keep refreshing. Those guys ahead of us are all cheating. We definitely can't beat them."

Xiao Xian shrugged. He couldn't surpass her in ranking, and he wasn't doing any more quests. He had lost interest in continuing to grind monsters. Xiao Xian's assessment was that he was inferior to Tomie.

"Cheating?" Starlight asked in great confusion. How could someone cheat like that?

"It's about attributing the achievements of other people in the company to them and looking down on them."

Xiao Xian pouted, dissatisfied.

As soon as Xiao Xian's battle record surpasses Tony's, who is ranked ahead of him, Tony will immediately announce that he has defeated a new supervillain, and his record will soon surpass Xiao Xian's.

Once was a coincidence, but after two, Xiao Xian realized something was wrong. He understood that it was not a coincidence but an inevitability. Sure enough, through his "Xiao Xian's Heavenly Eye," Xiao Xian discovered that Iron Man was actually spending money to buy the battle records of the superheroes under his company.

Being a boss is so much fun; I'll do the same when I'm in charge of the Osborne Group.

"The online feedback is very good right now. Everyone is paying close attention to the situation at Rockefeller Center, not just in New York, but also in other places. The current level of interest has reached our target. Do you want to go there directly?"

Pepper looked at the data on the screen and tried to persuade Tony.

"The hype can keep rising. Let's stick to plan. I'll send Daredevil over later, and after he's defeated, I'll go in." Tony shook his head, rejecting Pepper's suggestion.

"I don't just want to reach the goal, I want to be the best!"

"Alright then, you're the boss." Pepper nodded without arguing. Although she felt that it was best to secure the deal as soon as possible, she knew Tony's personality and knew that there was no point in trying to persuade him.

Let alone such things, Pepper Potts couldn't even persuade Tony not to cheat. If it weren't for the fact that Tony has a few hundred million dollars, Pepper Potts would have divorced him long ago.

"Black Cat has been sent to the ICU. Should we send someone?"

Pepper then said to Tony, making a throat-slitting gesture, as the black cat's good looks made Pepper very wary.

"Forget it, she's already received the punishment she deserved, and there's still hope for her. There's no need to kill her completely."

Tony thought about the black cat's perfect figure and beautiful face, and his anger flared up instantly.

I was angry before, but now that I think about it carefully, it would be a real pity to kill such a beautiful woman.

"But that Xiao Xian deserves to die, don't let him get away with it." Tony added, "Keep sending people to capture him, and after you catch him, lock him in a sulfuric acid pool. I want to see just how regenerative his super regeneration is."

"Okay, I'll send someone over as soon as I find him."

Little Chili nodded, but in her heart she thought, "Isn't it just that she's jealous because Black Cat chose him over you and is also jealous that he's more handsome than you?"

Unsuspecting members of the public might think Tony is a cool, kind-hearted playboy and a superhero who is passionate about world peace.

But Pepper Potts, who has been by Tony's side for many years, knows that Tony is an arms dealer who treats human life like dirt, a cheating man with an insatiable desire for possession, and a bastard with an insatiable sense of self-esteem and extreme jealousy!

Moreover, after being fatally hit by Osborn, Tony's stamina also deteriorated. Although he still said it was great, he couldn't take it anymore.

But Little Chili was actually completely unmoved, and even a little dissatisfied.
