American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

While marveling at Garfield's success, Tian Xiaoban's mind was filled with thoughts of those unfortunate souls who were ostracized by the world for trying to save it.

"Zack Connors, the second-generation Flash, Superman Superman, Supergirl... I don't want to be that kind of unlucky guy!"

As soon as Tian Xiaoban returned to the company, news of his arrival immediately reached Lex Luthor's ears.

Lex Luthor, who was in the middle of a meeting, stormed out of the conference room in a fit of rage and sped to the entrance of [Infinite Corporation] a few minutes later.

Anyone could see that Lex Luthor was furious. He desperately wanted to punch that irresponsible boss and point his finger at him, shouting, "I quit!"

But he dared not; Lex Luthor feared Tian Xiaoban's power. He also feared the power behind him—his influence, his background, and the Veil Giant.

At the same time, he was also very envious. He envied Tian Xiaoban's position, the position of the boss who possessed terrifying power!

However, no matter what, this boss can't keep making minions do all the work without giving them any rewards!

Lex Luthor believed he had done enough! He hadn't even run his own Lexcorp business with this much care!

Suppressing his anger, Lex Luthor found Tian Xiaoban eating a hamburger on the rooftop:

"So, Mr. Tian Xiaoban! Mr. Wuxian! Are you satisfied with the results I've achieved in managing [Wuxian Company]?"

"I'm very satisfied! Hey, did you run up here? Why didn't you take the elevator!"

Looking at Lex Luthor, who was covered in sweat, Tian Xiaoban thought that the guy had started to lose weight and was running up the stairs instead of taking the elevator.

"Then will you give me some of what you promised? More alien technology! More biotechnology!"

Tian Xiaoban nodded; he had indeed said those things before. He then asked, "So what kind of technology do you want? Biological or…?"

"I want to join your team! I've almost finished researching Kryptonian technology, and I'm absolutely confident I can keep up with your pace in the area of ​​genetic biology!"

Lex Luthor wasn't arrogant; rather, it was a confidence that emanated from within after he saw through and understood the Kryptonians' genetic technology!

"Oh, then tell me, what am I researching?" Tian Xiaoban asked with amusement. He himself didn't know what he was researching, but Lex Luthor did?

What a bizarre, inexplicable overthinking!

"Didn't you demonstrate the technology to freely alter one's own genes and then revert back? I want to join the team researching that technology!"

Oh! Tian Xiaoban understood. This guy had misunderstood and thought I was the one who broke the watch!

However, being a sensible person, Tian Xiaoban couldn't dampen Lex Luthor's interest. He had an idea! He figured out where Lex Luthor should go!

"Sure, if you want to go, you'll have to give all the company's plans for next month. After all, you're going to another planet, and with the research time, it'll take at least a month to get back."

Lex Luthor frowned: "A month! I'm completely tied up right now!"

Two or three days is acceptable for me to check on the lab. A month? No way! There are too many unpredictable things.

Lex Luthor can now confidently say that [Infinite Corporation] would collapse without his management.

The daily maintenance and game data updates are something no one else could do without him!

"How about letting Kovacs replace you? He's been with you for so long, he must have learned a lot by now!"

"I can only say I have two or three days of free time because I included that! You damn boss, you have no idea how big your business is right now!"

Tian Xiaoban's expression turned serious: "Could it be that some rat is secretly plotting something in the gutter? Is it the local authorities? Should I send someone..."

As he spoke, he made a throat-cutting gesture.

Lex Luthor rolled his eyes: "If it were rats here, I would have taken action long ago without you even having to tell me! Boss, have you forgotten that Earth isn't unified yet!"

"Oh, as for other places, that's none of my business! As long as there are no problems here, it's fine!"

The amount of information revealed in those words was quite significant for Lex Luthor.

"So, boss, you're not doing business overseas anymore?"

"For me, business is fine as long as I can manage this area; the rest doesn't matter! You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. At worst, I'll just quit doing business overseas! You need to understand, this is the center of the world!"

[Unlimited Company] operates medical devices, virtual reality games, and soul "backup" technology...

Every single one of them represents cutting-edge technology that surpasses Earth's reach by decades. Anyone with a brain knows just how powerful these technologies are for humanity! Instead of introducing them, they're trying to suppress them? Tian Xiaoban says: Take it or leave it, I'm not going to cater to you.

Tian Xiaoban opened a company in this metropolis so that he could use this place as a base to quickly expand to other heroes' cities.

Midtown, Seaside City, Star City, Gotham, Amnesty Bay...

As long as these heroes' cities are covered, the rest doesn't matter! Just as he said, this is the center of the world.

"Since the boss has said so, then I won't go to those places that want to gain more benefits by suppressing others."

"Okay, give me three days. I'll get things sorted out for the next month. Thanks in advance, boss!"

Tian Xiaoban said with a smile, "No problem, go ahead and get busy!"

Once Lex Luthor left, Tian Xiaoban immediately opened the portal to Hell and went to Garfield's palace.

"Garfield, I have a new mission! Give me a planet, and then fill it with ten thousand Grey Wolves, all of them with maxed-out genetic technology!"

"I'm planning to replicate a transformation tool like the Omnitrix!"

Above Garfield's head, energy slowly coalesced to form a question mark.

"What are you talking about! That thing is completely unscientific and not magical! You must be dreaming!"

Garfield had witnessed firsthand the spectacular sight of Tian Xiaoban conjuring up a whole host of creator gods all by himself!

What kind of magical artifact could mass-produce gods?! This is something that completely overturns understanding and cognition!

It's already incredibly absurd that even one of them could appear, but what did Tian Xiaoban just say? He wants to replicate one?

Are you dreaming?

Tian Xiaoban explained:

"Damn, what's with that expression?! I'm not crazy."

What I mean is, I'm planning to create a low-spec version of the broken one, with the exact same appearance and shape as mine, but with a maximum of one to ten transformation genes. That should be achievable, right?

Whether it's the genes of the ultimate life form or the genes of a dream, they can all be used to create a knock-off version of the Omnitrix.

This fake is perfect for fooling Lex Luthor. After all, we've already recruited him; making a fake one will amuse him and keep him loyal to us.

Garfield used his superhuman brain to work out the simulation, and he realized that with a gene limit of ten, he could indeed create it...

Using the ultimate life form's ability to instantly modify the genes of other organisms to create a watchband, and using Mew's "Transform" skill as the trigger condition for gene modification, he could indeed create a low-quality, low-spec version of the Omnitrix!

"Then what do you need Grey Wolf for? If you want something, I can make it out by hand right now."

"Didn't I tell you? We're just fooling Lex Luthor! That guy's a clever fellow. Let Grey Wolf's unscientific research speed temper his arrogance. That'll make it easier for us to assign him tasks later."

"Understood!"

Chapter 182 Target: Flashpoint World!

With a simple reach, Garfield transferred a basketball-sized planet from the Celestials' universe.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only the size of a basketball in Garfield's hands. This is the size shrunk down using spatial rules. If Tian Xiaoban were to try and get this ball, he definitely wouldn't be able to lift it.

Garfield reached out and poked the planet with his fingertip. The continent he poked began to become semi-mechanized. These machines quickly assembled into skyscrapers, and a group of intelligent mechanical assistants rapidly formed inside.

The energy source of those buildings is connected to the heat energy at the planet's core, ensuring that these mechanized areas will not lack energy before the planet explodes.

These are all ready-made high-end laboratories, reserved for Grey Wolf.

……

Immediately afterward, a drop of blood seeped from Garfield's fingertip! Before hitting the ground, the blood quickly split and transformed, turning into ten thousand shrewd-eyed Grey Wolves.

As soon as they landed, they knew what they were supposed to do and quickly found suitable jobs, starting to study the automatically generated data.

What are they researching?

There are all sorts of things: genes, energy, gene mutation, and gene fusion. But the most important thing here is the technology for researching energy!

While Garfield could handle the genetic engineering and replication aspects by himself, all the data has already been transferred to the new mechanical building. It's believed that the remaining tasks will be handled by the Grey Wolves.

But to convince Lex Luthor that this is indeed Tian Xiaoban's place dedicated to genetic research, these Grey Wolves must develop energy technology that surpasses Earth's by hundreds of years!

It's either genetic technology or energy technology! Energy is a crucial factor in measuring technological development.

If it were simply a matter of modifying or replicating genes, Earth's current technology could achieve that. However, to do so, the energy and resources required would be enormous!

Lex Luthor wanted to join Tian Xiaoban's research team because he didn't want to waste Earth's research resources. That way, Lex Luthor could directly study those things by standing on the shoulders of giants.

He wanted to learn about the most lacking and most important energy technologies on Earth at this time, while also learning how to decipher alien genes.

……

To complete the conversion of different genes in a short period of time requires a huge amount of energy!

The technology and knowledge available to Earth at this time do not allow for the development of something capable of waging World War III.

Therefore, Lex Luthor faced two choices: First, he needed a more efficient, precise, and safer gene-editing technology. Second, he could ignore the energy consumption involved in the technology and simply rely on massive energy resources—energy being everything in technological development!

For Lex, as long as he enters the technology lab owned by Tian Xiaoban, he should be able to obtain all of these.

…………

Garfield sent the planet back into the inner universe. He can just throw Lex Luthor in there later.

"The makeshift team you requested is all set up, Ban. Is there anything else?"

Tian Xiaoban scratched his head, somewhat guiltily saying:

"I plan to go to the future again! I'll go see Flashpoint World."

Garfield's expression was quite interesting, as if to say, "You want to be a hands-off boss again!"

"Why? You haven't even been here a day yet, and you're already thinking of running away? Tell me the reason! If the reason isn't acceptable, I won't allow it."

Garfield's disagreement was within Tian Xiaoban's expectations; he calmly counted on his fingers:

"Anyway, that world is special! It's destined not to remain in the multiverse, so I can go and get some things that I'll definitely need."

Some things will definitely be used in major future events, so finding them early is better than running out of time when a major event occurs!

Big event?

When it comes to the world, there's nothing Garfield can do. This thing is like the rolling wheel of history; no one can stop it! Since we have something to prevent it, the sooner we get our hands on it, the safer and more at ease we'll feel.

Since Tian Xiaoban said it would definitely be used, then there must be a set left in this universe. It's like telling a story; the protagonist will never die, even if they do, they'll win the resurrection round.

"Go get a copy for backup... that's not a good enough reason. Tell me first, what are these things? I can make anything that exists on Earth right now!"
