Chapter 100: The Afterhand
With the cooperation of Dr. Kane, the inventor, and hundreds of experts jointly set up a new laboratory, the research on the NZT series of drugs has become faster. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wu Ming doesn't know much about scientific research, and the only thing he can do is to vigorously support him in terms of funds. Then, like an old farmer, he waited for the autumn harvest season.
As for Eddie, the protagonist of this world, he starts his coquettish journey as he does in the plot.
Relying on the NZT-48 he was taking, Eddie was like a fish in water in the stock market, and in just one week, he became a millionaire.
Wu Ming was like a bystander, watching Eddie use his talent wantonly and carry a lot of money home.
The only place where he intervened was to cook a few black and astringent clubs who wanted to come to the door after seeing Eddie get rich, and he never showed up again.
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Within a month, the NZT-49 drug was a complete failure. Regrettably, the research on the NZT-50 has also fallen into a difficult situation.
"Master Jin, I'm Dr. Kane, and I'm sorry to inform you that the NZT-50 model drug is difficult to be developed in a short period of time, and we are stuck in the top of the bottle of science and technology."
"What is the reason?"
"Our current technology cannot overcome the damage to genes and brains caused by NZT series drugs. I have to tell you that our human drug testing personnel are almost dead, and there are no survivors at all! ā
Hearing Dr. Kane's words, Wu Ming sighed and pressed his eyebrows, knowing that it was time to use Eddie's dark chess.
In fact, in the movie, the perfect NZT-50 model is really closely related to Eddie.
It is precisely because of the recessive gene carried by Eddie that it has the ability to neutralize the NZT series of drugs, and the real perfect model is born. I have to say that Eddie, as the protagonist of this world, still has something special, and now it's time for him to show his value.
"Sure enough, in the never-ending world, it's still impossible to bypass the male protagonist Eddie!"
Wu Ming raised his eyes and looked out the window, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Prepare a car for me, I'm going to meet our big boy!" ā
Soon, an extended Lincoln pulled out of Wall Street.
The current Eddie is no longer the Eddie of a month ago, but a new billionaire.
A month, a billionaire, this simply blinded the eyes of the media.
Therefore, Eddie is a public figure in front of him, and it is not difficult for Wu Ming to find him. Even, just this afternoon, Eddie gave a speech at Columbia University about his successful life of wealth.
"Hi everyone, I'm Add, the new billionaire. Many of you should know me or have seen me in the newspapers, but right now, I myself stand before you. If you have any questions, you can ask me personally! At Columbia University, Eddie stood on the podium, staring at the eyes of the crowd.
Below, countless students and media kept raising their hands, trying to get Eddie's attention.
Eddie was talking and laughing on stage, casually pointed to a reporter, and said, "Mr. reporter, what do you want to ask?" ā
The reporter stood up excitedly, and under the gaze of countless people, he said: "Mr. Eddie, can you tell me the secret of success?" ā
"The secret of my success is a brain that is smarter than others. It's my talent that has brought me success in life, and it doesn't take any secrets! Eddie pointed to his head and spoke to cheers.
After all, most of the Columbia students present were among the geniuses.
Eddie said that his success comes from his clever brain, which easily resonated with these people, and the applause lasted for a long time.
A perfect speech ended with applause from everyone.
After the speech, Eddie walked off the field in high spirits, intending to leave in his BMW sports car.
"Add..."
Just as Eddie started the sports car, a Lincoln next to him lowered its window.
Add couldn't help but look up, and it was a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar face.
"This man!" Add's brain was racing as if time was receding step by step, and soon it was thirty days ago, frozen in that morning that he would never forget.
"Remembered? Hehe, I said, we'll meet! ā
Wu Ming opened his car door, beckoned to Eddie, and motioned for the other party to sit in his car.
Seeing Wu Ming's movements, Eddie lowered his head a little hesitantly, and after thinking for a while, he stepped into the Lincoln car.
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 he could even detect the hesitation in the other party's gaze, obviously Eddie didn't want to see him.
Wu Ming was not surprised that Eddie didn't want to see him.
A pseudo-genius who relies on drugs can be happy when he finds out that his secret is in the hands of someone else.
It's just that Eddie is a smart man, and he knows that there are some things he can't refuse, or he doesn't have the strength to say no.
"The NZT-48 works pretty well, right?" Wu Ming slowly opened his mouth and asked Eddie beside him.
Eddie nodded affirmatively, and said in a very low voice: "Do you still have this thing, I want to buy some, you can make a price." ā
"Huh!" Wu Ming smiled lightly, raised his hand to take out a bottle of red wine from the car refrigerator, and poured himself and Eddie a glass each: "Young man, how much can you give?" ā
"How about a million?" Add said a number, and no one should be able to refuse the price of a million in his mind.
Unfortunately, Eddie's estimate was wrong, and fundamentally wrong.
Wu Ming shook the red wine glass in his hand, watched the pale red wine flicker in front of him, and said with a smile: "I don't want a penny!" ā
"Don't want money?"
Eddie's face was a little strange, and he asked tentatively, "Do you still want to give me some medicine for free like last time?" ā
Hearing Eddie's statement, Wu Ming took a sip of red wine and whispered, "The last time I left, I asked you to leave a blood sample every day, did you do it?" ā
"Yes, I left a sample for thirty days, and I tested it myself. In addition, does your drug have any side effects, I always feel a little dizzy in the past few days, and if I delay taking the medicine, it will cause a trance! Add asked tentatively, wanting more answers.
Hearing the other party's question, Wu Ming was unmoved.
In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and behind the amazing effect of NZT-48 are more powerful side effects.
In Dr. Kane's institute, people who continue to take it for a period of time will experience side effects such as nausea, dizziness, retching, and mental confusion.
The only difference is that after those people take the medicine, they will have side effects in half a month and face death in a month. And Eddie, who has a recessive gene, can still be alive and kick for a month, but he initially noticed that something was wrong with him.
"NZT-48 drug, there are 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 take you to see some core secrets! Wu Ming looked at Eddie beside him with the eyes of a guinea pig.
Eddie was furious when he was watched, but when the words of refusal came to his lips, he couldn't speak.
Smart people know better what they have to do than stupid people.
Eddie instinctively sensed that this was something he couldn't refuse. Because the side effects of this drug are likely to be greater than he thought, he needs to know more things.
"Thank you for having me, I'd love to!" Eddie paused word by word and said very solemnly.
"Good!" Wu Ming nodded slightly, and the old god whispered, "Go to your apartment first, get a blood sample, and then I'll take you to a good place." ā
