American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

"Who are you? You should state your own name before asking someone else's!"

Ethan was the first to ask a question, and compared to his dejected state just minutes before, he now seemed full of hope.

"Me? Hahahaha, I'm the owner of this gourmet island! You can call me 'Infinite'!"

“‘Infinite’ is such a lame name. Is it a name or a nickname?” Lucas muttered to himself.

Chapter 91 Carrots, sticks, and deception: Join me in doing big things!

"I've already introduced myself, now it's your turn."

Lucas patted Ethan, who was about to speak, indicating that he would let him do it.

“My name is Lucas Fox, from Gotham. This is my buddy, Ethan Rochs, from the Metropolis.”

That's Emma Janney, the one to her left is Olivia Windsor, and the one to her right is Sofia Falcone. They're all from Gotham, just like me.

Lucas rattled off the names in one breath, then said earnestly, "Brother, since you were able to bring healthy horses to this place where there's no way horses could possibly be found, it means you have excellent transportation skills. Can you take us back?"

"As long as it's delivered to...to the metropolis, we'll give you a generous reward."

He originally wanted to report to Gotham, but when he thought about the chaos in Gotham, he realized that they might die before they even got home.

Tian Xiaoban stared at Lucas with a strange look in her eyes.

Lucas Fox, also from Gotham, if I'm not mistaken, this guy should be the son of Lucius Fox, the Chief of Logistics and Equipment at Batman Corporation, and the future second-generation Batwing.

Damn, I knew it! One bad thing after another happened. There really is a future hero here.

"Hehe, that would have been fine. But since you ate the food here, there's nothing we can do. You'll have to stay on the island forever."

"Why! Is it some kind of curse?" Ethan looked incredulous. Could the food that saved them have now become poison?

Tian Xiaoban's lips curled up as he looked at their terrified expressions and said with a wicked grin:

"That's right, the food on this island is full of special energy. As long as people eat it, they will keep getting stronger! They can even be as strong as Superman!"

But anyone who eats the food will be cursed by the island and will never be able to leave!

Your current physical abilities surpass those of the world's top athletes; you should be aware of this.

Their expressions changed to one of realization, which explained why they were able to outrun the demon.

Although the news that the food on the island could not only heal injuries but also make people stronger should have been a cause for celebration.

However, knowing that one cannot go home still makes it hard to be happy.

Don't be so discouraged, come with me.

Tian Xiaoban rode his horse, with five people trotting behind him.

"Where are you taking us?" Sophia asked cautiously, still holding three small stones in her hand. If the other party acted strangely, she could smash his head with the stones at any time. As a Gothamite, one couldn't do without a few special skills.

Tian Xiaoban slowed down a bit, then said to them, "Of course I'm taking you unlucky guys to my place. You must have been blown ashore by the storm, right?"

I usually search for ways to leave this place at sea, and I often row away alone.

So, I wasn't on the island just now.

"Sir, this island is so dangerous, are you still living here?"

Emma asked a question from the side, but at the same time felt a little wronged: Seriously, is this guy even a man? He actually rode a horse and let three women chase him. He has no gentlemanly manners at all.

“You can call me Mr. Infinite.”

"Yeah, it's definitely dangerous here, but it depends on the person. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm very strong!"

Tian Xiaoban dismounted, walked to the nearest coconut tree, and, to the astonishment and bewilderment of the others, snapped the coconut tree in half with his bare hands.

He broke the tree trunk into sections and handed them to the five people, one section for each of them. He kept one section for himself and stuffed the rest into Garfield's mouth.

He naturally held the section of coconut tree trunk with one hand and gnawed on it.

"Eat it! It's glutinous rice and coconut flavored. Once you eat it, your strength will surge up."

I've been here for far too long, and I've eaten a lot of special food, so my combat power is terrifyingly strong.

On this island, I am the strongest! Hahahaha!

"Bro, you seem happy?"

Lucas felt that the other party was being overly optimistic.

"Oh bro, if you were like me, spending a long time on this deserted island, and then suddenly saw a human who could talk, you'd be just as happy as I am!"

"I understand, I understand."

Ethan had an "I understand" look on his face. If it weren't for his brother's encouragement, he might have given up his will to live.

"However, I also have my partners."

Tian Xiaoban patted the horse's neck. "Its name is Garfield, and it's vacationing with me on this island."

"Vacation? You really have a good attitude!" Olivia remarked from the side.

"Of course, with this island, I have the power to become infinitely stronger! Once I get out, I will be the next world king!"

Tian Xiaoban made a shockingly juvenile statement, causing Sofia Falcone's eyes to flicker.

Ethan said casually:

"That's a really arrogant statement, bro. Don't you know Superman?"

Remember that alien who lifted that giant ice cap a few minutes ago? He's from the same race as Superman.

"Superman? I know, but do you think I'm weak?"

Tian Xiaoban wore a disdainful expression. It wasn't that he was bragging, but the current Superman really couldn't beat him. There were still more than a dozen kryptonite stones in his 'Living Dead Tomb'.

Even without using Kryptonite, he could still beat Superman to a pulp just by sending Garfield.

All five people fell silent, each with their own thoughts.

Emma asked somewhat cautiously, "By the way, there are demons and aliens on this island! Mr. Infinite, did you know that?"

"I know, it's normal. Once you eat the food on this island, you can never leave."

Demons or aliens, they're all trapped on this island!

"However, you demons need not worry, I've already dealt with you! I found you by following the demons' aura! They must have placed magical tracking on you."

In her mind, Tian Xiaoban used the contractual connection to communicate with Garfield.

Tian Xiaoban: [Garfield, find some time later to go and create a Kryptonian clone. Then, coordinate with my performance; we'll definitely fool these youngsters completely.]

Garfield: [Got it, but why go through all this trouble? Why not just let my cells take control of their bodies?]

Tian Xiaoban: [No, I suspect their appearance is controlled by the world's "fate." They should possess a power similar to an aura of bad luck. If your cells attach to them, you might also suffer bad luck.]

Garfield: [Then throw them out! These rules-within-a-system stuff are disgusting!]

[Hey, this is a free sample, might as well take advantage of it! Anyway, just trust me!]

[oh.]

…………

"We've arrived! Welcome to my [Forest Villa]!"

"..."×5

The five people looked conflicted, unsure whether to compliment their appearance or criticize it.

Here are bare tree trunks, without a single leaf. A villa made entirely of wood is built among these bare tree trunks, giving it the feel of a dilapidated hut.

"Haha." Tian Xiaoban laughed awkwardly, "It's all because of the typhoon just now, which damaged the environment here and left it barren."

This area was originally surrounded by dense forest, but this villa I built with my own hands will be full of life under the sun.

Seeing that the five people still didn't react, Tian Xiaoban changed the subject and said, "Think about it, such a powerful typhoon didn't blow this villa away, which is enough to show how solid the foundation I laid is."

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"Yes, that's right."

"Go, go, go."

"Good good."

"It's pretty good, it's good enough to have a place to stay."

Tian Xiaoban: "..." So perfunctory?

“Metaphor…——”

Garfield broke the awkward silence, raised its two front legs, let out a neigh, and ran towards the forest.

"it?"

"The forest is its home; it's just out patrolling its territory. Come with me, I need to have a good talk with you!"

The five people looked at each other and followed Tian Xiaoban into the villa.

………………

The large living room in the middle of the first floor.

They were all sitting on the mahogany sofas, chatting.

“I know you’re all curious about this place, so I’ll tell you some things I know.”

The five people nodded.

"I named this island 'Food Island' because everything here is edible, even the stones and soil are edible."

Being edible is only one aspect; another is that these things contain a mysterious energy.

This energy is full of vitality, capable of healing wounds and strengthening the body; I call it "Qi"!

It's like the air we breathe; the oxygen we inhale is distributed throughout our bodies, and the food we eat is converted into energy and accumulates in our bodies.

"Oh!" The five of them suddenly felt enlightened. So that's how it is. No wonder they have energy after eating, and no wonder they feel better and better.

"Can this energy remain in the body indefinitely? Or will it be consumed like oxygen until it disappears?"

Sofia asked with a curious look, a question that everyone else wanted to know as well.
