NZT-48 has all the elements of drugs, which is why Forneau, who was sold in the original book, does not eat it, and neither does Carl, the Wall Street tycoon.

As a drug dealer, the former deeply understands the horror of drug addiction, trapping others for profit, but harming himself is brain-dead, and the latter is a successful person, who has already obtained everything materially, and there is no need to take risks at all.

However, NZT-48 is different from ordinary drugs, it can stimulate the user's brain and explore the potential, which other drugs cannot do, those things are at most hallucinogenic and give the user a false sense of satisfaction, unlike NZT-48, which can bring real "benefits" to the user, even if the cost of this "benefit" is extremely huge.

This effect gives NZT-48 a more powerful appeal than the usual drug, as well as...... Much broader prospects.

Why did the Wall Street tycoon Carl later become actively involved in this drug? Because he saw this, if done properly, he could control Eddie, control a lot of ambitious, brainy, and uncapitalized elites, and he couldn't do without NZT-48, so he would undoubtedly become the king of the century.

It's just that Carl knew NZT-48, and it was too late when he planned it, Eddie at that time was no longer what it used to be, and he was one step ahead of Carl to set up the game, and Carl, who was one step slower, could only eat farts behind Eddie.

And Carl, as a capital predator, has long been accustomed to being strong, under his surface gentle and elegant, is the ultimate arrogance, the difference in class background and the difference in the concept of interests determine the inevitability of the contradiction between him and Eddie, at the end of the story, he thinks he is in control of everything and threatens Eddie's appearance, which exquisitely shows the nature of a capitalist.

What Pippia is doing now is actually similar to Carl, all of them are trying to control NZT-48 and use Eddie.

The difference is that Carl is too greedy to take full control of Eddie and use him as a tool to be discarded at any time without taking any risks, while Pipicia doesn't mind teaming up with Eddie - control and cooperation are two completely different concepts, the former is domineering and domineering, and the latter has a chance to win.

No, to be precise, Pipicia's best bet to avoid accidents is to join forces with Eddie, as he can't be sure if such a thing as "luck numerology" exists.

At the end of the movie, Eddie seems to have mastered the production of NZT-48 and solved the side effects, if he left Eddie alone, I don't know if he would lose the halo effect of the "protagonist", even if he mastered the laboratory and production of NZT-48, he couldn't find a way to solve the toxic side effects, after all, in the process of experiments, sometimes the effect of coincidence is the most powerful.

Pipicia is not from this world after all, he comes from another world, after all, he is rooted in the world he is in, and the purpose of coming here is to get the formula, production process, optimization method, and optimized finished product without toxic side effects, rather than exhausting his life to control the world, whether Eddie is at the top or even ruling the world, and what does it have to do with him?

On the basis of such ideas, Pipicia's "sincerity" even touched Eddie greatly.

The place where Fono hid the pills was the kitchen, and when Pippia opened the oven tray and pulled out a pack of NZT-48, he only left about fifty pills, saying that it was for his friend to continue his life, and the rest was all for Eddie.

After learning about the side effects, Eddie has understood that these pills are almost the life of an addict like him, and Pipscia's actions are simply a lifesaver.

Therefore, after discussing the future plan of action with Pipixia, he solemnly shook Pipixia's hand and promised: "Xia, you will be my best friend in life, the most reliable brother, don't worry, your plan is perfect, we will definitely succeed, I look forward to the day when we raise a glass together to celebrate after the plan is successful!" ”

Pipicia smiled and encouraged Eddie, and left Verno's house on the grounds that the police might be coming, leaving a confident Eddie on the scene waiting for the police to arrive and clean up the mess after Fono's death.

……

Walking on the street outside the house of Fono, the capitalist cityscape of the United States of America is not in Pippixia's eyes, the new century China is flourishing in infrastructure, record-setting miracle projects are continuous, and the magnificent big cities have long ceased to be the exclusive beauty of the traditional powers, and in many respects, have even surpassed the old and decadent cities of the traditional powers, except for the different styles of exoticism, the cities of the Western countries are the same.

What he was thinking about now was whether his plan was still inadequate.

Because he grasped the "future" at the beginning of everything and knew a lot of information unknown to others, although he did not have Carl's strong capital and connections, and he was not like Eddie, who was far beyond ordinary people after receiving the blessing of NZT-48, he had insight into the opportunity and could already do a lot of things in front of half a step.

For example, he knew that the developer of NZT-48 was Eben Pharmaceutical Company, and the other party was in deep financial crisis and was unable to develop the drug.

For another example, he knew that there were successful people who actually relied on the power of NZT-48 to maintain their status, but not everyone knew that Eben Pharmaceuticals was the producer, so the competition for the outcast NZT-48 was fierce, which was also an important reason why Eddie was hunted down later.

Another example......

In short, he knows a lot, because "Neverending", a film full of black humor, is never an inspirational film about drugs, but a drug warning film full of metaphors.

Eddie's success in "Neverending" is not so much a comedy as a metaphor for the director—no addict succeeds.

Art always ends in the opposite of reality, doesn't it?

Because the warnings contained in it are impressive, and the whole plot is smooth and neat, Pipicia has a deep impression of this film and understands the information from it.

This also made him feel that there was no problem with the plan after some thought, and his mood relaxed.

Glancing at the surrounding scenery, he found a gold shop, pinched the money in his clothes pocket and found it from Fono's house, and smiled slightly.

Besides, these foreign currencies from other worlds are not easy to use in China, so it is always better to exchange them for more useful things, and hard currency such as gold, at least for now, is the best choice.

He walked over with his feet up.
