American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

"These days, gangsters are equipped with super-powered drugs in addition to handguns. Do you know how big the difference is between an ordinary person and a super-powered person? Hahaha, you're killing me, Ben."

Although the two were laughing heartily, Tian Xiaoban could see their sadness and guessed that they had been bullied by superpowered people quite a bit.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be laughing so maniacally, mocking Tian Xiaoban for breaking away from the current rules and ridiculing their own endless suffering.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they're all noobs! Although I don't have any superpower drugs, I've become much stronger in the past few months!"

Tian Xiaoban performed a chest muscle twitching motion, which made his T-shirt taut.

Jack rolled his eyes:

"It's no use, Ben. You have no idea how powerful superpowered people are these days! Batman hasn't shown up for a week! You know that?"

Tian Xiaoban was shocked: "What! What happened to him?"

Yuri continued, "Looks like you really just got back to Gotham. I heard Batman was attacked by dozens of superpowered individuals and is dead."

"Huh?" Tian Xiaoban looked completely bewildered.

Old Batman and Batman were killed by superpowered beings? What a joke!

Holy crap, is this really that scary?!

"Look, even Batman is in trouble, and you, a big muscle man, are no use!"

Jack and Yuri took turns speaking, expressing their current helplessness.

Tian Xiaoban took out her smartphone, tapped the screen to turn it on and unlock it, connected to the internet, and then started searching for news online, beginning with news from a month ago.

After a moment, Tian Xiaoban said with a strange expression, "I never imagined that so many things would come to light while I was away!"

……

A month ago, Lex Luthor's Lex Corporation launched the "Superpower Hero Endorsement Program," which is open to all citizens of Metropolis.

As long as you have strong enough superpowers and are confident in your abilities, you can register to become a superpowered spokesperson for LexCorp!

Then, there will be a talent show-like demonstration of abilities. If your demonstrated abilities surpass those of ordinary superpowered individuals, you will be promoted to one of the top representatives.

The super-powered drug endorsed by a super-powered person will instantly become a bestseller! The super-powered person who endorses the product will receive a share of the profits.

Holy crap, what Vought International? What The Seven?

Moreover, among the group of superpowered individuals organized by Lex Luthor, there are even projects targeting Superman?

[A laser-emitting eye] plus [Kryptonite] equals Superman Buster?

No wonder Superman, that coward, didn't stand up and beat them up! He was completely suppressed.

Tian Xiaoban felt that the world had suddenly gone mad, and he couldn't understand it.

He suddenly felt a pang of guilt, as if he had let Superman down.

This Superman has suffered so much at such a young age. I wonder if he can handle it mentally? Will he break down?

"This Lex Luthor is really something else! Where did he get the technology to create Compound V?"

Jack: "Ben, this phone is so cool! Is it the latest Apple smartphone?"

"Uh, no, it's the latest Candy Phone! A limited edition worldwide, with super long battery life. Besides hitting people, it can also crack walnuts. A brick phone, that's awesome!"

The two children listened but didn't understand, yet they still thought it was very impressive.

Tian Xiaoban: "Alright, you should go back now!"

Jack: "No, there are so many people today, we haven't even opened for business yet!"

Tian Xiaoban: "So how much money do you usually earn?"

Yuri: "Three hundred to four hundred dollars."

Tian Xiaoban was shocked: "Holy crap, so many?"

Jack replied matter-of-factly, "With more people, business will naturally be better!"

Tian Xiaoban pulled the two away, saying, "Lead the way for me to find that [Bane Gang]. If you get me to the destination, you'll get five hundred dollars each!"

Yuri: "Okay!"

Jack: "Deal! You're going the wrong way, come this way."

"Oh."

Chapter 97 Batman Trapped in a Nightmare

After walking through several streets in a winding path, they arrived at the entrance of a large bar.

"Is this the place?"

The bar wasn't open yet, and several other shops around it were also closed. It must open at night, so they were sleeping during the day.

Jack nodded:

"Yes! We saw them recruiting here last time! They even did a wrestling match at the entrance, which cracked the ground."

Tian Xiaoban nodded slightly to indicate that she understood: "OK, I understand. Here's the money, go home now!"

Aren't you coming back with us?

Jack and Yuri had expressions that said, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

They were afraid that Tian Xiaoban would cause trouble for the [Bain Gang] and get beaten to death.

Tian Xiaoban rolled her eyes. It was obvious what those two brats were thinking:

"What are you thinking! There are still goods to receive at the port. I don't have time to waste here. Let's go, I need to go back to the port!"

"Oh, we understand."

After seeing the two children off, Tian Xiaoban walked back to the port. He had already memorized the address of the bar, and he could anonymously report it to the Gotham Police Department later.

Putting aside how many superpowered individuals are in the gang, just the fact that it's called the "Bane Gang" tells you how troublesome it is. Just leave the troublesome stuff to the police.

The proliferation of superpowered individuals is unstoppable, and the Gotham Police Department should have a plan in place, otherwise Gotham wouldn't be behaving so "normally".

The bustling port is the best proof of this. It's possible that the Penguins are managing it well, but at least those of them who possess the super-powered drugs are being kept in check, and there's no sign of them causing trouble.

"But what happened to Batman? Did he really get killed?"

If Batman were killed, then Bruce Wayne, the self-proclaimed richest man, should also be in trouble.

However, Tian Xiaoban just found news about Wayne Group online, and Bruce Wayne did participate in the online meeting.

"Tsk. I even suspect that Alfred used AI face-swapping technology to hold meetings for Bruce Wayne. Oh well, I'll go check out his estate after I finish receiving the goods."

Tian Xiaoban returned to the port via the same route.

The large cargo ship has already unloaded its cargo at the dock.

Garfield transformed into Tian Xiaoban and was there receiving goods. Although the two looked alike, their temperament and clothing style were completely different, and the people around them would only think that they were twin brothers.

"Hey, Garfield!"

Garfield: "You're too slow, Ben!"

Tian Xiaoban jogged over, scratching her head sheepishly, "Haha, I just ran into two of my friends and chatted for a while. By the way, have you ordered everything?"

Garfield: "Yeah, everything's ready. It's already in the dock warehouse. Shall we pick it up tonight?"

Tian Xiaoban: "Just teleport directly! I'm too lazy to wait. If anyone asks, just say you took a super-powered drug."

"Super power drug? What the hell is that?" Garfield was completely bewildered.

Tian Xiaoban explained, "This is something created by Lex Luthor of Metropolis. It's said that if you eat it, you'll gain superpowers."

"real or fake?"

Tian Xiaoban shrugged: "I don't know either, I just heard about it. Let's go to Wayne Manor later, I think Batman should have some samples."

"it is good!"

As they chatted, they arrived at Garfield's most frequently used warehouse, which he had rented a long time ago.

Everything that was delivered is inside.

Entering the warehouse and closing the door, the teleportation array of the Dragon Fang Key was activated, and white light filled the warehouse. Half of the warehouse's metal materials and half of its building materials instantly disappeared, and they entered the 'Tomb of the Living Dead'.

"All done, let's go to Wayne Manor."

........................

Wayne Manor.

Bruce Wayne's bedroom.

Dozens of machines surrounded the bed, where a man covered in bandages and metal braces lay unconscious.

"My lord, when will you wake up? Gotham needs you! Justice needs you! And I need you too!"

Following the doctor's orders, Alfred muttered to himself by the bedside, hoping that Bruce Wayne would wake up from his coma sooner.

"Sir, I believe in your abilities, please wake up!"

Bruce needs to be stimulated like this every day for him to have any chance of waking up.

"Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep..."

The bedroom alarm went off, a signal that someone had broken in.

Tian Xiaoban and Garfield were teleported directly to the manor, which triggered an alarm.

Dozens of machine guns rose up in various concealed areas, with red dots indicating their location, and the muzzles were aimed at a person and a cat.

"Uh... what's wrong? Why are all the alert levels on? Looks like Bruce is really in trouble!"

Tian Xiaoban shouted at the villa, "Alfred, it's me! I'm not a bad guy!"

On the other side, Alfred, who had already put on his headphones and was controlling the manor trap, did not lower his guard just because it was Tian Xiaoban.

In the past few days, quite a few superhumans with the ability to change their appearance have also arrived at the manor disguised as people acquainted with Alfred, attempting to assassinate Bruce Wayne.

The plan almost succeeded; if Alfred hadn't reacted quickly, Bruce would have been dead.

The near-crash served as a reminder to Alfred to be cautious.

"Tell me your name and your abilities! If you don't, I'll open fire!"
