One second Eddie was still a drug addict, and the next second he was sitting up like a different person. But what's going on with this feeling of spring breeze?

After taking the medicine, Eddie's original painful expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a wise look, and he looked at everything around him quietly, as if he was collecting information around him.

"Jack, the boss of Umbrella Corporation software company, which has been in the limelight recently and is highly sought after in Silicon Valley. Your Red Queen is very interesting. I originally wanted to study Red Queen, I just had too many things going on recently, so I just ignored it. Just like I forgot to pay that bastard back..." Eddie stood up, talking to himself, and at the same time controlled the phone to transfer money to pay off the loan shark he owed.

After solving his debt problem, Eddie picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for himself and Chen Changsheng. Then he sat down with Chen Changsheng and looked at Chen Changsheng next to him with a wise and confident expression.

Looking at the completely different Eddie, Chen Changsheng smiled unconsciously. This is really interesting. Is it all because of the effect of the pill?

Stretching out his hand again, Chen Changsheng introduced himself, "My name is Jack. Your current state is very strange. I wonder if you can tell me how you feel now."

Shaking Chen Changsheng's hand vigorously, Eddie let go of his hand, casually took out a pill from the iron box, and said:

"Look at this pill, it's worth eight hundred US Dollar. It's an unlicensed illegal drug that can activate the human brain and make it run at 100% efficiency.

It seems like a smooth road to the future, but who knew it would be a dead end? "

Eddie was thinking clearly at the moment, his ex-wife's advice was right in front of him, and at the same time, all his brother-in-law's words were clearly remembered.

"This medicine can make smart people smarter..."

Eddie doesn't think he is very smart, at least compared to most smart people, but even an ordinary person like him can achieve this level after taking NZT-48, so what can a truly smart person achieve?

"It doesn't sound like a good thing to improve the efficiency of the brain to 100%." Chen Changsheng doesn't know whether what Eddie said is true or not, but it is obvious that the design of the human brain is not suitable for running at 100% efficiency.

Chen Changsheng's words interrupted Eddie's thinking. Eddie also turned around and looked over. When he saw Chen Changsheng's face, he looked very interested and wanted to discuss it.

Eddie smiled, still with an omniscient and omnipotent expression and said, "Of course, of course, you are right. If the human brain could always operate at 100% efficiency, it would not always maintain the utilization rate below 5%. It was too late for me to wake up.

Jack, do you know how I feel now? After eating it, I can remember every bit of the past, from birth to now, whether it is what I saw, heard, or thought of accidentally, I can remember everything. Moreover, there is a constant stream of information pouring into my brain.

This feeling of sobriety makes people want to stop, this feeling makes people sink into it.

But if you are interested in this, congratulations, you have been bewitched by the devil. "

Eddie suddenly changed into a meaningful smile, which was like a demon tempting humans to fall into the abyss.

However, Chen Changsheng still has some self-identification ability when it comes to Eddie's words. Except for Chen Changsheng, who is somewhat interested in improving brain efficiency to 100%, Chen Changsheng is noncommittal about the rest, because Chen Changsheng itself can easily do things like photographic memory.

Chen Changsheng ignored Eddie's weird smile. He stretched out his hand to take out a pill and observed it carefully. At the same time, his eyes were locked on Eddie, wanting to see his reaction.

When Chen Changsheng stretched out his hand to take the pills, Eddie's expression obviously changed. However, due to his strong restraint due to drug abuse, even his instinctive reaction was hidden in the next second.

Just when Chen Changsheng was about to touch the iron box, Eddie said again, "Jack, if I were you, I wouldn't take it. Believe me, you will regret doing this."

Eddie's expression was very solemn, and it looked like it was indeed a warning. It seemed that he was seriously injured by this medicine. However, is Chen a person willing to listen to others' advice? Who can be sure of the facts without experiencing it?

Picking up the tin can, Chen Changsheng shook it in front of Eddie, then shook it with extremely strong control, lifting all the pills out of the can mouth, and then accurately received them.

"Eddie, there are 235 pills in this, am I right, so do you think that you must rely on drugs to do this?" Chen Changsheng counted the number of pills in a short period of time, and then took out the last pill that fell into the jar and looked at the sunshine outside the window.

Eddie's facial features are extremely sharp after taking drugs. This simple process can stretch his senses to the point where he can observe carefully. I can also clearly count the number of pills, 235, the number Chen Changsheng said is correct.

So can anyone really do better than taking drugs themselves under normal circumstances?

"Wow, Jack, how did you do that?" Eddie felt like he was going crazy. Death was chasing him from behind, but there was a person in front of him who was not afraid of death.

"It's that simple. My eyes saw it, so I knew it. Have you studied these medicines? Or do you know their origins?" Chen Changsheng did not explain how he did it, because it was just instinct. However, Chen Changsheng's interest in this kind of pills has reached its highest level.

"Well... you are really talented." Eddie really couldn't find how to describe it, but he understood Chen Changsheng's statement very well. After all, he himself couldn't figure out the wonderful state after taking drugs. Maybe blaming it on instinct is the most scientific explanation.

"It's called NZT-48, and it comes from a mysterious pharmaceutical company. No one knows how it was made, but some samples have leaked out, and that's it.

My brother-in-law was killed because of these medicines, and the sellers who bought medicines through my brother-in-law died one by one because they suddenly stopped taking the medicines.

I feel like I'm getting closer, but at least I still have these. "

Eddie is of course thinking about how to save himself at this moment, but it is obviously too late to start learning medicine now. He has already spent a lot of money to ask professionals to reproduce it, but it is hard to say whether it will be in time.
