With the cooperation of Dr. Kane, the inventor, and hundreds of experts working together to establish a new laboratory, research on the NZT series of drugs has become faster.
Wu Ming didn't know much about scientific research. The only thing he could do was to provide financial support. Then, like an old farmer, he waited for the autumn harvest season.
As for Eddie, the protagonist of this world, he started his own coquettish journey just as he performed in the plot.
Relying on the NZT-48 he took, Eddie thrived in the stock market and became a millionaire in just one week.
Wu Ming was like a bystander, watching Eddie use his talents wantonly and take home lots of money.
The only time he intervened was to take care of a few black people who wanted to come to ask for help after seeing Eddie get rich, but he never showed up again.
Just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Within this month, the NZT-49 drug completely failed. Unfortunately, the research on NZT-50 also fell into a deadlock.
"The funder, I am Dr. Kane. I regret to inform you that the NZT-50 model drug will be difficult to successfully develop in a short time. We are stuck at the top of the technological bottleneck."
"what is the reason?"
"Our current technology cannot overcome the damage caused by the NZT series of drugs to genes and brains. I have to tell you that our human drug testers are almost dead, and there are no survivors at all!"
After hearing Dr. Kane's words, Wu Ming sighed and pressed his eyebrows, knowing that it was time to use Eddie's hidden chess piece.
In fact, in the movie, the perfect NZT-50 model is really closely related to Eddie.
It is precisely because the recessive gene carried by Eddie has the ability to neutralize the NZT series of drugs that a truly perfect model was born. It has to be said that Eddie, as the protagonist of this world, has something special. Now
It's time for him to show his value.
"Sure enough, in the never-ending world, it is still impossible to avoid the hero Eddie!"
Wu Ming raised his eyes and looked out the window, took a deep breath, and said, "Prepare a car for me, I'm going to meet our big boy!"
Soon, a stretched Lincoln drove out of Wall Street.
The Eddie now is no longer the Eddie a month ago, but a newly minted billionaire.
One month, a billionaire has blinded the media.
Therefore, Eddie is a public figure in front of him, and it is not difficult for Wu Ming to find him. In fact, just this afternoon, Eddie gave a speech at Columbia University to explain his successful life of wealth.
"Hello everyone, I am Eddie, the new billionaire. Many of you should know me or have seen me in the newspapers, but now, I am standing in front of you. What do you have?
If you have any questions, you can ask me in person!" Inside Columbia University, Eddie stood on the podium, accepting the attention of everyone.
Below, countless students and media kept raising their hands, trying to get Eddie's attention.
Eddie was chatting and laughing on the stage. He pointed at a reporter and said, "Mr. reporter, what do you want to ask?"
The reporter stood up excitedly and said under the eyes of countless people: "Mr. Eddie, can you tell me the secret of success?"
"The secret to my success is a brain that is smarter than others. It is my talent that has brought me a successful life. This does not require any secret!" Eddie pointed to his head and spoke, which aroused cheers from everyone.
.
After all, most of the Columbia University students present are among the geniuses.
Eddie said that his success came from his smart brain, which easily resonated with these people, and the applause lasted for a long time.
A perfect speech ended with the applause of everyone.
After the speech, Eddie walked out of the venue in high spirits, planning to drive away in his BMW sports car.
"Eddie..."
Just when Eddie started the sports car, a Lincoln car next to him lowered its window.
Eddie couldn't help but look up and saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
"This person!" Eddie's brain started to work quickly, as if time was moving backwards step by step. Soon it was thirty days ago, and it was fixed on that morning that he would never forget.
"Remember? Haha, I told you, we will meet!"
Wu Ming opened his car door, waved to Eddie, and motioned for him to sit in his car.
Eddie saw Wu Ming's actions and lowered his head hesitantly. After thinking for a moment, he got into the Lincoln car.
After closing the car door, Wu Ming and Eddie sat side by side in the back seat, like close strategic partners.
However, Wu Ming could hear Eddie's accelerated heartbeat, and could even detect the hesitation in the other person's eyes. It was obvious that Eddie didn't want to see him.
Wu Ming was not surprised that Eddie didn't want to see him.
It is strange for a pseudo-genius who relies on drugs to be happy when he finds out that his secret is in the hands of others.
However, Eddie is a smart man, and he knows that there are some things that he cannot refuse, or that he does not have the strength to refuse yet.
"Isn't the effect of NZT-48 pretty good?" Wu Ming spoke slowly and asked Eddie beside him.
Eddie nodded affirmatively and said in a very low voice: "Do you still have these things? I want to buy some. Please give me a price."
"Haha!" Wu Ming smiled softly, raised his hand and took out a bottle of red wine from the car refrigerator, and poured himself and Eddie a glass each: "Young man, how much can you pay?"
"How about one million?" Eddie said a number. He thought that at the price of one million, no one should be able to refuse.
Unfortunately, Eddie's estimate was wrong, and it was fundamentally wrong.
Wu Ming shook the red wine glass in his hand, looked at the light red wine flashing in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't want a penny!"
"for free?"
Eddie looked a little strange and asked tentatively: "Do you still want to give me some medicine for free like last time?"
After hearing what Eddie said, Wu Ming took a sip of red wine and whispered: "When I left last time, I asked you to leave a drop of blood sample every day. Did you do it?"
"I did it. I kept samples for thirty days and tested them myself. In addition, does your medicine have any side effects? I have always felt a little dizzy in the past few days. If I delay taking the medicine, there will be more
Cause trance!" Eddie asked tentatively, wanting to know more answers.
After hearing the other party's question, Wu Ming remained unmoved.
There is no free lunch in this world. Behind the amazing effects of NZT-48 are even more powerful side effects.
In Dr. Kane's research institute, as long as people continue to take it for a period of time, they will have side effects such as nausea, dizziness, retching, and trance.
The only difference is that after taking the medicine, those people will experience side effects in half a month and face death in a month. Eddie, who has the recessive gene, is still able to move around after a month, but he is only initially aware of his
Something's wrong.
"NZT-48 drug has some small flaws that are difficult to solve. I think you have noticed it. By the way, are you interested in coming with me? I want to show you some core secrets!" Wu Mingyi looked at the guinea pig.
He looked at Eddie beside him.
Eddie's body was hairy at the sight, but when the words of rejection came to his lips, he couldn't speak.
Smart people are better able to understand what they should do than fools.
Eddie instinctively realized that this was something he could not refuse. Because the side effects of this drug were probably greater than he thought, and he needed to know more.
"Thank you for the invitation, I'm very happy!" Eddie said solemnly and carefully.
"Very good!" Wu Ming nodded slightly, and the old god whispered: "Go to your apartment first, get a blood sample, and then I will take you to a good place."
