In fact, Li Qi can also take the initiative to go directly to Eddie's brother-in-law and get the NZT-48 first, and even after that, there is nothing to do with Eddie, he can enjoy this drug by himself.

And through the cooperation with Eddie, Li Qi may be able to get more benefits, he has not forgotten that Eddie finally solved the fatal problem of NZT-48.

It is known from the movie that not all people who take this drug have achieved great success, and many more people have achieved certain advantages in work and life just due to the activation of brain function, such as Eddie's ex-wife. And many of them quickly fell ill or died due to the side effects of the drugs.

Why is this happening? Li Qi can only say that because Eddie is the protagonist.

Eddie's brother-in-law once said that smart people would be more effective when using this drug, and Eddie may be a high-IQ person himself, but he has not used his intelligence before. Even Li Qi felt that Eddie was likely to be particularly suitable for taking NZT-48, which could maximize the effect of the drug and reduce the harm.

There's a bug in the movie that corroborates this.

At the end, Eddie said that he overcame the side effects by improving the drug, which can be understood as Eddie using his 100% super brain to quickly learn and master biochemistry, and was able to participate in improving the formulation of NZT-48 to overcome its shortcomings.

But if you think about it, this is not logical, because if there is a perfect formula for NZT-48, the developers of this drug can take this drug themselves, and then get the superhuman brain and develop it in more depth, so that NZT-48 will be a complete version.

Even if there was some accident in the development process that caused the drug to be incomplete, then so many people who took it after that no one else thought that the formula could be improved?

So the only explanation is that either Eddie is particularly smart and has developed his potential, or only Eddie can enjoy the improved NZT-48.

If it is the former, then Li Qi may also follow the benefits, if it can only be used by Eddie, then Li Qi will not be too disappointed, he is ready to use only the initial version of NZT-48.

I just hope that I can resist for a long time with my physique, Li Qi thought.

Back at his quarters, Add felt more and more distressed by the frustration of both love and work, and he looked at the small pill that Fern gave him and decided that it must be some kind of illegal drug.

But Eddie thought about his failed life, and he swallowed the pill hastily after breaking the jar.

Then, soon everything is different, he gets the chattering landlady and even puts her to bed, he tidies up the messy room, and even has an explosion of inspiration, finishing a large part of the novel overnight.

But when he got up the next day, he was beaten back to his original form.

……

Li Qi waited quietly for Eddie's downstairs to appear.

Half an hour later, Eddie, who looked decadent, appeared downstairs in the apartment, Li Qi shook his head, this guy was still wearing the dirty coat from yesterday!

If it weren't for the fact that he had changed into a slightly cleaner shirt inside, with his chicken nest type, he would be sloppy like the American version of Brother Sharp.

Li Qi watched him leave, but did not follow him, because he knew that Eddie had sent the manuscript to the publishing house and would have to return later, and only after he received a call from the editor-in-chief of the publishing house would he finally make up his mind to go to Fern's residence to ask for NZT-48.

And what Li Qi has to do is to continue to wait patiently.

It's actually easy to pass the time, Li Qi found a restaurant near Eddie's house, had a full breakfast, and after a while of talking nonsense with the restaurant owner, Li Qi finally waited for Eddie's appearance.

As in the movie, Eddie leaves the house again within minutes of returning home.

Li Qi followed, far behind Eddie, always keeping a distance of about fifteen meters from him.

The two walked one after the other, crossed two streets together, entered the subway station together, and came to the apartment building where his former brother-in-law lived.

Soon, Eddie was assigned by Fern to go to the dry cleaners to get clothes and buy breakfast, and Li Qi hid at the staircase of the safe passage, patiently waiting for the moment when Fern's death came.

It didn't take long for Li Qi to hear a sharp slamming of the door, followed by Fern's shouts and angry rebukes, but these voices were quickly ended by a gunshot......

"Bang!"

As a gunshot rang out, Li Qi knew that Fern was dead, but he didn't act rashly, the killer who broke into Fern's house must have been searching for NZT-48 and had to wait for him to leave.

The killer obviously found nothing, and beat and smashed in the house in anger, Li Qi waited for another quarter of an hour, and finally heard the sound of the killer opening the door and leaving.

Li Qi trotted all the way to the elevator, stared at the elevator indicator all the way down, and then entered Fern's house with confidence.

For Fern, who was already dead, Li Qi couldn't even mention the interest in taking a second look, and he wanted to get the NZT before Eddie came.

As a "cheater", no one knew where NZT-48 was hiding better than Li Qi, and he found the packet of pills from the mezzanine of Fern's oven without much difficulty, but instead of taking all of them, he left three tablets behind.

As for the $10,000 and the little notepad, they were taken away by Li Qi unceremoniously.

According to the previous plan, Li Qi did not intend to let the film's protagonist Eddie Molay go back to the old ways, and he envisioned the same as the Wall Street magnate Carl Vannon in the movie, which was to control Eddie for his own use.

However, Li Qi is not as stupid as Carl Viron, after all, he and Eddie are not from the same world, and there is no need to use each other as a tool, he prefers to be in a relatively equal position with Eddie, and it is best to let Eddie treat him as a friend from the bottom of his heart.

The reason for doing this is mainly for the follow-up research and development of NZT-48, Li Qi doesn't want to keep taking the old version with side effects, but he is not from this world, and it is impossible to stay here for a long time, so it is necessary to find a trustworthy person to complete this work.

And in this never-ending movie, the only trustworthy person is probably the actor Eddie Molay.

After all, although Eddie is an ambitious man, what man doesn't have his own ambitions and dreams? At least Eddie's nature is not bad, as long as he can gain his trust, Li Qi can take advantage of the fisherman.

Half an hour later, Eddie came back with his suit and food, and his reaction was the same as in the movie, from panicking to calling the police, and then he suddenly came to his senses and began to search for NZT-48 in the house, and finally found only the few pills that Li Qi had deliberately left behind.

Eddie didn't feel much disappointed, he didn't have much hope in the first place, and it was a surprise to find a few.

By the time Eddie was taken to the police station, Li Qiren had quietly returned to his apartment.
