00:00Imagine discovering something that could make your brain so sharp, you could master any skill in minutes,
00:05you'd become the smartest person in the world.
00:08That's exactly what happens to the hero of our story today.
00:11At the beginning of the story, we meet a man named Eddie.
00:15Eddie dreams of becoming a writer, and after a long time, he finally gets a chance to write a book for a publisher.
00:21But he hasn't written a single word yet.
00:23Every day he writes a little, but then erases it, because he's unsure of himself.
00:27Eddie feels lost and worried about his future.
00:30His failure in life pushes his girlfriend Lindy to leave him.
00:33Before Lindy, he was married to a woman named Melissa, but she also left him for the same reasons.
00:38Eddie's laziness and lack of success.
00:41Feeling hopeless, Eddie is wandering through the city, heading back to his apartment,
00:45when he runs into Varna, the brother of his ex-wife Melissa.
00:48They sit at a cafe and start talking.
00:50Eddie shares all the struggles in his life, explaining how he feels confused and stuck.
00:55Varna, understanding Eddie's situation, decides to help him.
00:58He gives Eddie a pill.
01:00At first, Eddie laughs, thinking,
01:02How can this small pill change my life?
01:04But Varna explains that it's not an ordinary pill.
01:07He tells Eddie that once he takes it, all his confusion will disappear,
01:11and he'll be able to do anything he wants brilliantly.
01:14Before leaving, Varna gives Eddie his card so they can stay in touch.
01:17Desperate to change his life,
01:19Eddie decides to take the pill before heading into his apartment.
01:21On his way up the stairs, he runs into his landlady.
01:25She angrily reminds him about his unpaid rent.
01:27At first, Eddie is confused and unsure how to respond.
01:30But then, the pill starts to take effect.
01:33Suddenly, Eddie feels a surge of clarity.
01:35His mind becomes sharper, and he remembers everything he's ever read in his life.
01:40He notices a law book in the landlady's bag, and tells her,
01:43If I were preparing for an exam, I wouldn't read that book.
01:46There are much better options out there.
01:47He then shares detailed information about the law, impressing her with his intelligence.
01:52Amazed by Eddie's newfound knowledge, the landlady forgets her anger and lets him go.
01:57When Eddie reaches his apartment, the first thing he notices is how messy it is.
02:01With his newfound energy and sharp mind, he starts cleaning everything at lightning speed.
02:06After organizing his apartment, Eddie sits down and begins writing his book.
02:10This time, he writes confidently and without any confusion, pouring out all his ideas.
02:14The next morning, when Eddie wakes up, the pill's effect has worn off,
02:18and he feels like his old self again.
02:20But the amazing part is that he managed to finish writing the entire book in just one night.
02:25The editor is shocked and can't believe how quickly Eddie managed to complete the book.
02:29Later, when Eddie gets back home, he receives a voice message from the editor.
02:32She tells him how impressed she is with his writing, and that she wants to give him more work.
02:37Eddie goes to meet Varna and starts praising the pill, amazed at how it changed his life.
02:41That's when Varna reveals the truth.
02:43The pill is a drug called NGT.
02:46He explains that NGT unlocks 100% of the brain's potential,
02:50allowing a person to use their mind to its full capacity.
02:53Hearing this, Eddie becomes eager for more pills.
02:56But before giving him more, Varna says,
02:58First, go to the market and bring me a suit and a burger.
03:01Eddie agrees and heads to the market.
03:04When he returns with the suit and burger,
03:06he is shocked to see that someone has shot and killed Varna.
03:09Terrified, Eddie quickly calls the police to report the murder.
03:12But as he looks around the room, he begins to understand that someone must have killed Varna for the pills.
03:18Before the police arrive, Eddie searches the entire room for the pills.
03:22After looking for a while, he finally finds a full packet of them.
03:26Along with the pills, he finds a bundle of cash, a small box, and a diary, which he takes with him.
03:32Just then, the police arrive.
03:34Eddie opens the door and is taken to the police station for questioning.
03:37The police interrogate him about the murder, but get little information from him.
03:41In the end, they let him go.
03:43Back at home, Eddie takes another pill.
03:45Once again, his mind becomes incredibly sharp.
03:48Determined to change his life, Eddie writes another book,
03:51completing it in just four days, and hands it over to the editor.
03:54This time, he doesn't stop there.
03:56He begins learning new skills like speaking foreign languages,
04:00playing cards, and improving his fitness.
04:02He also starts making new friends and talking confidently about various topics.
04:06During this time, Eddie meets a stockbroker named Kevin,
04:09who gives him his card.
04:10Eddie also gets invited to a beach party by his new friends, where he enjoys himself.
04:15At the party, Eddie has a sudden realization.
04:17His true potential lies not in writing, but in making money from the stock market.
04:22Eager to explore this idea, Eddie spends a week studying the stock market.
04:26With his enhanced brain power, he quickly understands its patterns.
04:30Using the $800 he found in Varna's room,
04:33Eddie invests in the stock market and earns $2,000 in just one day.
04:37However, Eddie realizes that to make even more money, he needs a larger investment.
04:42He decides to borrow money from a Russian loan shark named Jerry, who lends money personally.
04:47When Eddie meets Jerry, the man agrees to give him $100,000, but warns him with a chilling threat.
04:53If you don't return my money on time, I'll skin you alive and use it as a trophy.
04:57Despite the warning, Eddie takes the money and invests it in the stock market.
05:01Using his sharp mind and thorough research, Eddie turns the $100,000 into $2,000,000 in just one week.
05:08His sudden success makes him a sensation in the stock market.
05:11People start talking about him everywhere, and Eddie's name begins appearing in newspapers.
05:16One day, Eddie meets his ex-girlfriend Lindy.
05:19Seeing his confident new look and success, Lindy is impressed.
05:23The two rekindle their relationship and start a new chapter in their lives, spending beautiful moments together.
05:28While spending time with Lindy one day, Eddie notices a man following them.
05:32He decides to ignore it and leaves with Lindy.
05:35But the next day, Eddie meets Kevin, the stockbroker, who introduces him to a famous businessman named Carl.
05:41Carl is curious about Eddie's success and invites him to discuss the stock market and business.
05:46After spending some time talking, Carl is impressed by Eddie's brilliant ideas.
05:51On their way back, Carl offers to drop Eddie home in his car.
05:54Before leaving, Carl hands Eddie some files.
05:56As Eddie reviews the files, he immediately spots several flaws in Carl's company.
06:02He suggests solutions to fix these issues, leaving Carl even more impressed with Eddie's sharp mind.
06:07Carl invites him to meet again the next day at a specific location.
06:11After the meeting, Eddie gets out of Carl's car on the way home and decides to walk for a while.
06:16However, during this time, Eddie starts experiencing something strange.
06:20This was the side effect of the NGT pill.
06:23Eddie becomes disoriented and unaware of his actions.
06:25He finds himself in several places without realizing how he got there.
06:29First, he's in a club, then at a party, and later, he sees himself romantically involved with a woman.
06:35Suddenly, Eddie is at a station, where a group of goons attacks him.
06:39Although Eddie doesn't know how to fight, his enhanced brain recalls Jackie Chan's fight scenes he had watched on TV.
06:45Mimicking those moves, Eddie successfully defeats the goons.
06:49Eventually, Eddie finds himself on a highway bridge, completely confused about how he got there.
06:54The next scene shows Eddie waking up from sleep.
06:57He begins checking the files Carl gave him but decides not to take the pill again.
07:01He doesn't want to repeat the strange events of the last 18 hours.
07:05However, without the pill, Eddie struggles to make sense of the files.
07:08Despite this, he decides to meet Carl as planned, even though his mind is functioning like the old, unenhanced Eddie.
07:15When Eddie meets Carl, he finds it difficult to follow the conversation and understand what Carl is talking about.
07:20During this meeting, Eddie sees a news report about the girl he was with the night before.
07:25She has been found dead in a hotel room.
07:27Eddie begins to suspect that he might have been involved in her death, though he can't clearly remember what happened.
07:32Overwhelmed with guilt and confusion, Eddie apologizes to Carl and quickly leaves.
07:36Outside, Eddie feels sick and starts vomiting.
07:39When he gets home, his condition worsens because he hasn't taken the pill for a long time.
07:44But Eddie is now determined to learn everything about NGT before using it again.
07:48He begins calling the numbers listed in the diary he took from Varna's room.
07:52These numbers belong to people Varna used to supply pills to.
07:55To his horror, Eddie learns that most of the people who use the NGT pills have died.
08:00When he calls the last number on the list, he discovers that the person is the same man who had been following him earlier.
08:06The man appears nearby, and Eddie, terrified, runs away.
08:09While escaping, Eddie ends up in a cafe where he unexpectedly meets his ex-wife, Melissa.
08:14Melissa reveals that she, too, used to take NGT pills.
08:17However, due to the severe side effects, she stopped using them.
08:21She shows Eddie how quitting the pills has aged her prematurely, making her look much older than she is.
08:26Melissa warns Eddie to stop taking the pills, explaining that their addiction is dangerous.
08:31She tells him that the drug is slowly destroying their bodies from the inside and is nearly impossible to quit.
08:36Melissa advises Eddie to gradually reduce his dosage if he wants to survive.
08:41Later, Eddie encounters the Russian loan shark, Jerry, who had lent him $100,000.
08:46Jerry angrily attacks Eddie, demanding his money back since Eddie hasn't repaid the loan yet.
08:51During the confrontation, Jerry notices a pill in Eddie's hand.
08:54Curious, Jerry forcibly takes the pill and swallows it.
08:58Almost immediately, Jerry feels energized and happy.
09:01Taking advantage of this, Eddie withdraws money from the bank and repays Jerry before leaving.
09:06Now Eddie's condition deteriorates further, and he becomes desperate for the NGT pills.
09:10He goes to his girlfriend Lindy's office and collapses there.
09:14Seeing Eddie in such a terrible state, Lindy asks him what's wrong.
09:17Eddie explains everything about the drug and begs her to bring the pills from his apartment.
09:22Lindy agrees and heads to Eddie's apartment to get the pills.
09:25But on her way back, the same mysterious man who had been following Eddie for days begins chasing her.
09:31Terrified, Lindy runs as fast as she can.
09:34She hides behind a big rock and calls Eddie to tell him everything.
09:37Eddie advises Lindy to take a pill.
09:39She listens to him, takes the pill, and soon her brain begins to work much faster.
09:44With her enhanced abilities, she successfully escapes from the scene.
09:47Afterward, Lindy returns to Eddie and gives him a pill to help him as well.
09:51The next day, Lindy asks Eddie to quit the drug,
09:54explaining that she had only taken it once and would never take it again.
09:58She encourages him to stop using it as well.
10:01Eddie replies that he cannot quit right now because he still has some work left to do.
10:05He asks Lindy to give him some time to gradually quit the habit.
10:08Lindy agrees, and Eddie takes the pill again.
10:11However, Eddie finds a way to minimize the side effects.
10:14He decides to reduce the dosage, avoids drinking alcohol with it, and ensures he eats on time,
10:19which helps limit the negative effects of the drug.
10:22With his mind now working incredibly fast, Eddie starts making smarter decisions.
10:27First, he makes a suit with a hidden pocket to keep his pills safe.
10:30He also meets with a chemist, gives him one of the NGT pills,
10:33and asks him to create a version without any harmful side effects.
10:37Eddie pays the chemist a large sum of money, asking him to complete the task within six months.
10:42As Eddie continues to work, he partners with the same businessman,
10:45Carl, and helps take his company to the top.
10:48Eddie also makes significant profits in the stock market,
10:51investing Carl's money along with funds from other wealthy businessmen.
10:54Eventually, Eddie becomes a successful stockbroker,
10:57and within no time, he becomes a millionaire.
10:59However, one day, a police officer catches Eddie when a video surfaces,
11:04showing him with the dying girl at a hotel.
11:06Eddie immediately calls his lawyer, and after hearing the whole story,
11:10the lawyer manages to get Eddie released.
11:12But when Eddie later checks his suit pocket for his pills,
11:15he realizes that the pills are gone.
11:17He quickly understands that his lawyer must have stolen the pills.
11:21Meanwhile, Jerry, the Russian man who had once loaned Eddie money,
11:25is still after him, wanting more pills.
11:27Eddie manages to get rid of Jerry by giving him a few pills.
11:30During this time, Eddie is working on a major merger between Carl's company,
11:34and another large corporation owned by Hank.
11:36This deal will raise the stock price significantly,
11:39and Eddie stands to gain $40 million from it.
11:42But on the day of the merger meeting, Hank's wife shows up instead of him,
11:45and informs Carl that Hank is in the hospital,
11:48and that the merger can only proceed once he recovers.
11:51As Hank's wife leaves, Eddie sees his driver,
11:53the same man who had been following him for days.
11:55Eddie quickly realizes that this driver is working for Hank,
11:59and that Hank also used to take NGT pills.
12:02The driver had been following Eddie because Hank had run out of pills.
12:05And without them, Hank's condition worsened dramatically.
12:08Later, when Eddie returns home, Jerry shows up at his door,
12:12demanding that Eddie open it.
12:13When Eddie refuses, Jerry starts trying to break the door down.
12:17With no pills left, and not wanting to face Jerry,
12:20Eddie decides to end his life.
12:22He stands on the edge of the building, ready to jump,
12:25but suddenly remembers that he might still have one pill left.
12:28He quickly rushes to find it, and, after some searching, he finally locates the pill.
12:32But just as he reaches for it, Jerry breaks through the door, entering with two men.
12:36In the chaos, Eddie panics and falls, dropping the pill which falls out of his reach.
12:41Jerry's men sees Eddie, and Jerry starts demanding more pills from him.
12:45At this moment, we see that Jerry doesn't take the pill like Eddie does.
12:48Instead, he injects it directly into his veins, hoping that this will last longer.
12:53When Eddie refuses to give Jerry the pills,
12:55Jerry's men begin searching the entire room for them.
12:58During this chaotic search, Eddie seizes the opportunity to attack Jerry.
13:02He kills him by thrusting a shard of glass into his stomach.
13:05Now, Eddie desperately needs the pill, because his own condition is deteriorating.
13:09However, as he looks at Jerry's blood flowing out,
13:12he remembers that Jerry used to inject himself with the pill.
13:15Eddie realizes that the pill would be in Jerry's blood.
13:17So he starts drinking it.
13:19Surprisingly, it worked, giving him the boost he needed.
13:22With renewed strength, Eddie starts taking out Jerry's goons one by one,
13:27and eventually manages to escape the scene.
13:29Meanwhile, Hank dies in the hospital.
13:31Eddie, determined to finish what he started, goes to Hank's driver.
13:35He tells him the whole story, and asks for help, and the driver agrees.
13:39Together, they go to the lawyer's house, where they tie him up and search the place.
13:43After a long search, Eddie finally finds the pills again.
13:46A year later, Eddie's book has been published, and he has started his own company.
13:51He is now a billionaire and is running for president.
13:53One day, Carl visits Eddie at his office, fully aware that Eddie takes the NGT pills,
13:58which is the source of his intelligence.
14:00Carl asks Eddie to work for him, revealing that he has bought the company that manufactures NGT pills
14:05and shut down its production.
14:07Carl tells Eddie that if he wants to continue taking the pills, he will have to work with him.
14:11Just as Carl is about to leave, Eddie gives him an example.
14:14He mentions a car coming on the road that will inevitably hit the car in front of it.
14:18Within seconds, exactly what Eddie predicted happens.
14:22Eddie then tells Carl that he will always be one step ahead, thinking of the future,
14:26regardless of whether NGT pills are available in the market or not.
14:30Eddie reveals that he has already made his own version of the pill,
14:33one without the harmful side effects, and then starts exposing Carl's corrupt business practices.
14:39Carl, scared and realizing Eddie's power, quickly leaves the place.
14:42The story ends with Eddie and his girlfriend, Lindy, sitting in a Chinese restaurant.
14:47Eddie speaks to the waiter and fluent Chinese as he places their order.
14:51Lindy watches him, deep in thought, wondering whether Eddie has truly stopped taking the NGT pills.
14:56And the story comes to an end.
