Chen Chen slowly opened his eyes.
Like a blind man seeing the light again, what greeted his eyes was a brand new world.
The lights above his head flickered at a frequency undetectable to the average person.
There were figures moving back and forth beneath the tightly shut doors of the emergency room.
There was also the smell of disinfectant lingering in the air, wave after wave...
All the information was presented clearly in his mind. Everything he saw, the sound of people's footsteps, conversations, even the frequency of their breathing...
There was not a single mistake.
It was as if he was watching a real movie. The quality of the movie changed from 360P to 1080P super HD. Every single detail of the frame could be seen clearly.
Nothing in the world had changed, but it had been turned upside down.
That was right. The world had not changed. What had changed was Chen Chen's perspective of the world.
His mind was filled with endless inspiration. With just a thought, he could access any knowledge and memory from childhood to adulthood.
As if recalling something, Chen Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows. He took out his phone and searched for "Limitless" again.
However, unlike in the past, Chen Chen added the words "TV Series Version" behind the name this time.
Instantly, the cover and introduction of the TV series version of Limitless appeared on the search page.
"At the end of the movie version, the protagonist, Eddie Mora, found a way to overcome the side effects of the drug. However, it wasn't shown in the movie, so the USB drive couldn't instantiate it.
"However, this movie was adapted into a TV series three years later. Due to the length of the movie, the TV series required a richer plot than the movie. Therefore, there's an eighty percent chance that the TV series will reveal a way to overcome the side effects of NZT..."
This thought flashed across Chen Chen's mind.
Due to certain reasons, both the TV series version and the movie version of Limitless had been banned in Mainland China. The official website could only search for a rough introduction at most. There was no way to watch it.
However, it was on the Internet. After Chen Chen searched deeper, he finally found the complete episode of the TV series on an unknown small website.
Chen Chen skipped to the last episode and quickly fast-forwarded it to the end.
As expected, in the TV series version of Limitless, a way to overcome the side effects of NZT-48 was discovered.
It was something called the "immunity shot".
According to the TV series, there were two types of "immunity shot". One type could make a person immune to the side effects of NZT for a few weeks.
The other type was a permanent immunity to the side effects of NZT.
As for the permanent immunity shot, there was only one in the entire world, and it only appeared in the finale of episode 22.
In other words, as long as he could obtain this permanent "immunity shot", Chen Chen could take NZT-48 to his heart's content without worrying about any side effects.
Chen Chen turned off his phone and leaned back in his chair with a sigh.
Although they both belonged to the Earth Federation, due to political reasons, the two strongest regions of the Federation, the Central Continent and Northern America Continent, had always been fighting openly and covertly.
This kind of struggle was not referring to war, but a contest of culture, information, technology, economy, and other diverse forms.
Therefore, there were always some films and TV series in North America that could not pass the Mainland's censorship. This included the TV series version of Limitless.
In Chen Chen's memory, he had accidentally seen the news of Limitless being adapted into a television series while surfing the Internet. He was only 14 years old at the time.
At that time, it was nothing more than a casual glance, and then this piece of information was drowned in the mountains and seas of data on the Internet.
Moreover, this TV series was a flop even in North America. When he first got the USB drive seven days ago, he didn't think about this at all.
In other words, this was the effect of taking NZT-48...
In just three minutes after taking the drug, he was able to quickly find a way to resolve the side effects of NZT based on his fragmented memories from four years ago.
Moreover, he had taken the wrong first step.
Chen Chen thought to himself.
Choosing NZT-48 was actually not the best choice. The real best choice would be the Crystalline from "Chronicle".
Why did he say so?
This was because researching the USB drive required a very, very, very large amount of money.
Even if technology could not analyze the existence of the USB drive, if he could solve the USB drive's energy problem, it would still be a profitable business.
This was because as long as the USB drive had enough energy, there were endless possibilities.
If Chen Chen had chosen superpowers, he would have a million ways to obtain large amounts of money.
However, NZT was different.
NZT was a drug that stimulated the brain. Although it was priceless, if Chen Chen wanted to rely on NZT to make money, he would first need to accumulate enough knowledge before he could convert that knowledge into money.
There was an additional step that he had to take.
As for investing in stocks, he could forget about it. Firstly, Chen Chen had no capital.
Secondly, the rise and fall of stocks usually took years. If Chen Chen were to invest in stocks, he could only pursue the daily limit, short-term speculation, and other high-risk activities such as using leverage.
However, the stock market in Mainland China was manipulated by a market maker.
Furthermore, there was a limited number of NZT-48 pills.
Chen Chen had previously calculated that there were exactly 500 pills in the large sealed bag. The effect of each pill was 12 hours.
Even if Chen Chen only took one pill a day, he could only last for a year and a half.
Not to mention the huge side effects of NZT-48.
If the USB drive could no longer be used in the future and Chen Chen could not find another way to resolve the side effects of NZT-48, then things would get interesting...
Therefore, NZT-48 was not the best choice.
However, since he had made his choice, there was no room for regret.
Chen Chen pondered as he got up and walked out the door.
At this point, Chen Chen had confirmed that NZT would not kill him. There was no need to stay here any longer.
However, when he passed by the mother and daughter, Chen Chen's ears twitched. He suddenly turned to the little girl and said, "Your father will be out soon."
"Really?"
The little girl looked up in a daze.
The young mother beside her was also taken aback. She looked up at Chen Chen in astonishment.
To her, the boy in front of her had a pair of clear eyes, like pitch-black crystals without a trace of turbidity. She could even see her own reflection in his eyes.
"He's a hero, so he'll definitely be able to avert disaster."
The boy smiled gently and turned to leave. The illogical words came out of his mouth, but there was a convincing quality to them.
The little girl looked at her mother with a childlike expression. "Mom, is what big brother said true?"
The young mother opened her mouth but did not know how to answer. However, at this moment, the door of emergency room 2 suddenly opened.
"Who is Yang Yuexin's family?"
A stretcher was pushed out of emergency room 2. One of the nurses looked at the mother and daughter who quickly got up. "You must be Yang Yuexin's family. After the emergency treatment, the patient's condition has temporarily stabilized. Go inside and complete the procedures."
"Ah!" The young mother trembled with excitement. "Okay! Okay... "
...
After Chen Chen left the hospital, he took the subway back to school.
Previously, he had determined that the little girl's father was fine not because he had foresight. It was because Chen Chen had heard the conversation in the emergency room.
Previously, the subway television had reported this incident. Although Chen Chen did not notice it at the time, after taking NZT, he noticed that the little girl's eyes were forty to fifty percent similar to the Good Samaritan in the news.
Moreover, the location of the incident was on Renmin Road, not far from Shangdu People's Hospital. If 120 was called, the ambulance of Shangdu People's Hospital was most likely to arrive.
The age, time, and location matched. Coupled with the little girl's appearance, anyone would be able to confirm the identity of the mother and daughter.
Of course, being able to confirm it was one thing, but the premise was that your brain could find these pieces of information from the countless pieces of information and connect them together.
Chen Chen, who had taken NZT, possessed such an ability.
Astonishing insight and logical thinking. Everything he saw, heard, and stored in his memory could be accessed at any time. Moreover, he could quickly connect these clues together to arrive at a reasonable conclusion...
