NZT-48

"Limitless", the plot of this movie is actually not that complicated.

As the main character Eddie Mora was dumped by his girlfriend because of his lack of ambition and even when writing a book draft he couldn't even write a word.

One day he got a transparent pill named NZT-48 from the hands of his ex-wife's younger brother who he met on the road.

Although this pill looks inconspicuous, its effects are quite intoxicating.

It can activate the potential in the human brain and stimulate the nerves of the brain within thirty seconds. To some extent, this medicine can even be called as a "Viagra" for the brain.

This transparent pill named NZT-48 will open up every nerve in the brain, such that the user has unforgettable memory and super learning ability.

For example, one can learn a complex language in one day, can easily understand complex formulas and equations, and can even leave a favourable impression on anyone.

Of course, all of these benefits depend on continuous intake of medication and the effects gets worn off by the end of the day and user will return to his original self.

But this is not the biggest problem. After continuous intake of this transparent pill called NZT-48 for a long time, there will be many side effects.

At first it is just headaches, dizziness, vomiting, and other symptoms, next, the person will find that there are many blank spaces in his memory.

Eventually, the whole person will start suffering from various diseases due to the collapse of the body's immune function, which will eventually lead to the early death.

Eddie Mora, who didn't know the side effects of NZT-48, soon became a elite because of the drug's efficacy.

It is not an exaggeration that after taking this medicine, the brain is like a computer's central processor.

Not only can one remember all the things already in the memory, but also those things that the user see, read, or even just overhear, will be deeply imprinted in the mind of the user.

With such highly stimulated brain function, Eddie first spent four days to complete his novel, and then began trying his hand in the stock and financial markets.

He didn't expect to have such a good harvest from the market.

Eddie Mora's outstanding ability to make money quickly caught the attention of a financial crocodile Carl Van Loon. The finance tycoon wants to attract the other party under him after realising his genius in finance, he regards it as his new "economic growth point".

As the saying goes, every coin has two sides.

Eddie Mora's eye-catching success soon causes him a lot of trouble. First, he is entangled with a mysterious killer, then the boss of the loan sharks that he previously borrowed from came after him. The purpose of both parties was to obtain NZT-48 from his hands.

In addition to this with the long-term use of NZT-48, its side effects began to show up one after another.

Fortunately, the main characters always have some plot armor, even if there are many problems. Finally, Eddie Mora manges to get rid of all these dangers and eventually became a very popular MP.

Writing a novel, engaging in finance, and being a parliamentarian, this process seems like a standard development model of a leading character in urban genre novels.

"It is a pity that this model is not suitable to be used in the Marvel world.

I believes that not only will I be targeted by villains like hydra, even the SHIELD will be quite eager to 'talk' with me."

Liu Ruian looked at the big pack of transparent pills in his hand, "NZT-48 obtained", it felt very unreal.

Considering that he still should spend a month in the world of "Limitless", in order to minimize the loss from this trip and maximize the benefits Liu Ruian just hesitates for a few seconds then he takes out one pill of NZT-48 and puts it into his mouth.

The transparent pill quickly enters his body with saliva, and began to take effect after thirty seconds.

The instantaneous changes make Liu Ruian feel clear headed and enlightened. His dark pupils are more shinier and deeper from the effect of the drug.

Additionally, Liu Ruian's brain also transformed from a calculator to a quantum computer.

All the information that he may have seen, read, or even overheard gets sorted in his brain in an orderly manner.

This huge amount of information can be used by him anytime, anywhere. This kind of comfort really makes Liu Ruian feel wonderful.

Knowing the effects of the drug, Liu Ruian who is gaining information every second cannot afford to waste his time like the MC Eddie Mora in the start of the movie's plot.

After confirming that the guy who he robbed was not killed by him, but is only unconscious he thinks of a plan almost instantaneously and began to get busy.

He tries to remove his traces from the apartment as much as he can and starts collecting all the usefull items in a handbag that he found, including the food and clothes that Eddie Mora had just brought from the fast food restaurant and the laundry.

After few minutes, Liu Ruian in his new looks and with a proper 'decoration' on his face, calls the police to report a murderous incident in authentic American English using the phone in the room and then leaves the apartment.

After leaving the apartment he spends some time and money to change his appearance in order to remove as much of his traces as possible.

When he finally walked out of a large shopping mall, not only the clothes on his body but also his appearance has completely changed from before with the help of some cosmetics and props.

Not to mention the people in the world of "Limitless" can't associate Liu Ruian with the guy who came out of the apartment before, even if you throw him in front of his acquaintances they won't be able to recognise him untill he says something.

With the clear purpose in his mind, Liu Ruian after disguising himself dives into one of the largest local libraries..

Relaxing and enjoying the beautiful sky is not Liu Ruian's style, at least not the style of the enhanced version of Liu Ruian.

For whole two weeks, Liu Ruian, with one NZT-48 per day, constantly absorbed massive knowledge in the three fields of chemistry, medicine, and biology through books and the Internet.

After all, although NZT-48's medicinal effect is very powerful, its side effects are not small.

Researching this drug as soon as possible, and improving it has become his first most important goal.

In addition to these, he did not forget to watch some content that can increase his own safety, such as first-aid, fighting, firearms, etc.

After two weeks and gaining profound knowledge in the fields of chemistry, biology and pharmaceuticals, he published several papers directly on several famous universities and highly specialized academic websites through the Internet.

And the core content of these papers all revolve around a subject called "God's Forbidden Zone".

The statement of God's forbidden zone is not Liu Ruian's original. To put it bluntly it is referring to the nearly 90% area of ​​the human brain that cannot be used by humans.

Someone once said that once humans can use their brain to 100%, then they can become an existence like God.

Several high-quality papers quickly attracted the attention of the fields.

And as expected, he who is the author of these papers received many invitations.

Some of these invitations came from universities, some came from academies, and some from the private laboratories.

As for the purpose of the invitation, it is naturally to enter into an in-depth discussion on the topic of "God's Forbidden Zone", and see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

After spending another week running around several universities and private laboratories, with his superior knowledge, he not only successfully obtained a legal status, but also received a fairly well-studied research jobs.

In fact, he is very clear that as a previously unknown person, it is impossible for him to quickly gain the trust of the powers behind the laboratories.

However, it doesn't matter whether they trust him or not. As long as he can have an environment that is convenient for him for research and manufacturing of the drug, it is enough.

With great dedication in a month he successfully created a new generation of NZT.

This new drug is named NZT-50 is the second generation of drug developed on the basis of the original.

In this new generation of NZT, he tried minimizing the side effects as much as possible while preserving its efficiency.

Before crossing back, Liu Ruian successfully made enough pills for himself, and returned directly to his room in the laboratory saying he needs some rest.

When the people in the laboratory will find that something is not right, they will be surprised how can a large living person disappeared into thin air.

Liu Ruian not caring about what will happen in the world of "Limitless" after his disappearance appears again in that small alley.

Unlike his previous embarassing situation a month ago he looks like some successfull person.

"Fooh..."

Liu Ruian exhaled a long sigh and warned himself that even in his current situation he is very much in danger. After coming to peace with his situatuin he left the alley.

Coming to the side of the road he stopped a taxi, asked the other party to send him to the largest local jewelry store.

When Liu Ruian came out of the jewelry store, the black lockedbog that was in his hand was full of dollars of this world.
