"You're Eddie?"
Xu Xiao looked the other person up and down. He was disheveled, dressed in wrinkled clothes, had a vacant look in his eyes, and had a faint stench about him.
Okay, it's obvious he wasn't taking his medication.
"Yes, I am Eddie, Eddie Mora."
Eddie nodded, standing awkwardly in front of Xu Xiao, completely unaware of why this God -like man had sought him out.
Are you afraid of me?
Xu Xiao could sense that Eddie was very tense and his heart was beating rapidly.
"No, uh... yes!"
Meeting Xu Xiao's gaze, Eddie first shook his head and then nodded.
Although Xu Xiao did not use Telekinesis to control him, the attraction between Innate born being and an acquired being still unconsciously drew him to Xu Xiao, causing him to speak the truth.
It wasn't the kind of attraction between a man and a woman; it was more like a moth unable to resist the call of a light source, or an ant instinctively looking up at the shadow of a dragon.
This is the uncontrollable genetic worship deep within our genes, when lower life forms face higher-level evolved beings!
"It's alright, don't be afraid, Eddie. I called you here because I have some good news for you."
Xu Xiao gently comforted Eddie, indicating that he did not intend to use mind control on him.
It wasn't that he wanted to treat the protagonist differently, but rather that the protagonist truly had exceptional qualities.
He waved, and several suitcases were brought over by the maids who were serving him.
" Eddie, open them and see, one by one. These are all gifts I gave you to welcome you."
Xu Xiao spoke with a smile, his words carrying a hint of hypnotic technique.
Eddie, sensing Xu Xiao's goodwill, calmed down. He first glanced at the several tall, long-legged, wavy blonde maids, then opened one of them.
'Splash!'
The brand-new Franklin fell out of the suitcase, and the faint scent of ink made Eddie momentarily stunned.
Then, instinctively, he bent down to pick up the brand-new US dollars.
The suitcase was full of US dollars, and because it was packed so slowly, the money naturally fell out when it was opened, which was intentional on Xu Xiao.
Nothing has the same impact as seeing piles of cash in person as checks or credit card balances.
"Don't rush to pick them up, Mr. Eddie, there are other gifts here!"
The blonde maid gently bent down and took Eddie's hand, the unintentional glimpse of her beauty making Eddie stare wide-eyed.
'So white! Such big bills!'
A dazed Eddie was helped to his feet by the maid, still clutching a few banknotes he had picked up.
Then, with the help of a maid, Eddie opened the other briefcases.
Luxury watches, car keys, jewelry, gold, and even several property deeds in his name.
Eddie looked at them one by one, and jumped up with joy. In the end, he even hugged the golden maid next to him and started kissing her passionately.
Xu Xin didn't say much in response, but quietly waited for the other person to finish venting their excitement.
If you want to get the other party to do something, you have to give them enough reward.
Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and Xu Xiao is not a stingy boss. Besides, these things are incredibly precious to others, but they are insignificant to him.
Eddie quickly calmed down after venting his excitement. Ignoring the seductive maid, he knelt down in front of Xu Xiao with a thud.
"Sir, I don't know what you want me to do, but I, Eddie, will do my utmost and dedicate everything to you."
Eddie was a smart man. In his excitement, he guessed that Xu Xiao was trying to bribe him. Although he didn't know what Xu Xiao was going to do, the reward offered was enough to make him fall for him.
Besides, Eddie had seen Xu Xiao training in the air before, and he knew that Xu Xiaofei had no right to refuse.
"Very good, Eddie, you're a smart man." Xu Xiao nodded in satisfaction; he enjoyed dealing with intelligent people.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiao had someone bring over NZT-48 and told Eddie that it was a drug that could develop the brain but had terrible side effects. He said Eddie needed to continue taking the drug and then help him optimize it.
After carefully listening to Xu Xiao's request, Eddie finally agreed.
Xu Xiao smiled and said there would be a new reward after completion, which put his mind at ease.
Last night, Aiven Pharmaceuticals was acquired overnight, and NZT-48, which has serious side effects, was brought to Xu Xiao's attention.
Relying on his strong physique, Xu Xiao immediately took one pill to test its effects.
All I can say is that the effect was very powerful; Xu Xiao was still within 18 hours of the pill taking effect.
Many questions he hadn't understood before became clear in an instant, and he even made some adjustments to his future plans, which increased Xu Xiao's ambition for the pill.
Of course, after trying it out himself, Xu Xiao not only saw its advantages, but also clearly understood its disadvantages.
This medicine isn't as miraculous as legend suggests, capable of unlocking brain potential and turning you into a genius with just one pill.
To be precise, this is a way to enhance the activity of your brain cells, allowing you to fully utilize your talents.
It's the kind of drug that makes a world of difference between smart people and idiots after taking it.
You are still the same person, even your thought patterns and behavioral habits are still the same. It's just that NZT-48 can help you calmly and focusedly solve the problems you face, and you can also make full use of all your previous knowledge to take action.
This thing is like a multiplication sign; its power depends entirely on how well your brain is developed.
Originally, Xu Xiao had made two preparations. He planned that after he took control of the power structure in the United States, he would have his scientists take NZT-48, and then optimize the drug to maximize its effects while reducing side effects.
After acquiring Aiven Pharmaceuticals and personally reviewing the research logs for the drug, Xu Xiao could only admit that he had underestimated the ambitions of capital.
Aiven Pharmaceuticals had already tried this before. They offered their scientists large sums of money to take NZT-48 in order to improve this semi-finished drug, but ultimately all their efforts failed.
The side effects of NZT-48 were too severe, and drug development is not a matter of a day or two. Most scientists rejected the proposal, and only a small number of people who were willing to risk their lives for money were willing to try it.
However, due to the limited number of researchers and the lack of tangible benefits, the plan to improve the drug was ultimately shelved.
Therefore, Xu Xiao made two preparations: he could only stay for 150 days this time, and he had to get the best answer before leaving.
From the very beginning, he set his sights on the male protagonist Eddie.
At the end of the movie, this guy claims to have developed a more potent new product with no side effects, demonstrating his talent in drug research.
This isn't something just anyone can do after consuming NZT-48; it requires someone with prior knowledge in the field.
Xu Xiao planned to use some coercion and enticement to get the protagonist to invest in the research and development of the new drug, hoping to leverage the protagonist's protagonist aura to develop the new product as soon as possible.
Of course, Xu Xiao will not abandon the approach of having scientists take the drug before conducting research.
He's not the kind of guy who relies on capital. Capitalist ambitions are utterly insignificant to him. He'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Capitalists fear the deaths of scientists; government control and moral sanctions are completely irrelevant to them and are not even considered.
Whether through coercion or enticement, he would organize scientists across the America to conduct research on NZT-48, using the America people as his drug test subjects.
He wouldn't care if a few people died, as long as he could achieve his goal, he wouldn't care if everyone in the world died.
Similarly, the same applies to Eddie; from the moment Xu Xiao entered this world, his fate was already sealed.
