Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Judging from the quest description, this reincarnation world seems to be a modern one, so it shouldn't pose a threat to you. You're more focused on the team's previous battles. The previous world quest, which was 1/3 complete, has you very concerned. If you're not mistaken, the Godfather Zhou Ning mentioned in the quest description is probably another you from a different time and space.

You have an instinctive intuition, a hunch comparable to that of a wild animal. You must be special. Perhaps you and your other self are the strongest among the Gu worms in the samsara space. Whoever laughs last will truly achieve transcendence and liberation in this world. You are curious, wondering if there is another you in Team 45?

This thought is like an anchor, temporarily stabilizing your intense desire for destruction and making it less cruel.

[At this time, Carol, who had been cowering in the corner, timidly told you that she should understand the situation in this world.]

She hails from Los Angeles, USA, in 2022. After leaving her previous world, she researched Tokyo Ghoul and speculated that the reincarnation worlds you've experienced might all be based on comics, novels, and film and television. Therefore, over the past two weeks, she's been cramming a lot of relevant material.

[At this time, even you have a new respect for this woman who looks weak but is actually thoughtful. I don’t know where the others are from, but with Carol who knows the plot, you

According to Carol, the world you've traveled to this time is most likely called "Never End." The man you're supposed to protect, Eddie Mora, is the destined hero of this world. He was originally a writer in dire straits, but after an old friend introduced him to a newly developed drug, NZT, his full potential was unleashed. He can instantly recall everything he's read, seen, or heard, learn an entire language in a single day, and even complex equations are no match for his extraordinary comprehension. As long as he continues taking this experimental drug, he can maintain this state.

"Sounds a bit like nootropics… you ponder. As a medical professional, you've heard of nootropics before. They're potent memory enhancers that act like steroids for the brain. They increase blood flow to the brain, boosting the supply of nutrients, oxygen, and glucose, which in turn improves mental energy and acuity. But their main ingredients contain hundreds of drugs, from methamphetamine to cod liver oil, and some are addictive."

"Did the information you read describe the side effects of NZT?" you asked Carol. Her answer was, yes, and they were significant. Taking the drug boosts brain function to 100%, but the side effect is a strong dependency. Once you stop taking it, the effects are lost. Long-term use can completely disrupt your body's functions. Even if you're sensible enough to stop taking it in time, the damage is still irreversible.

Rodriguez and Reef joined the discussion. Under their questioning, Carol recounted everything she knew. The NZT-48's owner was none other than Carl van Roon, the man you were supposed to protect in the optional mission. Its manufacture was located in the Carl van Roon Group's underground base, and obtaining the NZT-48 during the mission wasn't difficult. In the spin-off series, the NZT-48 was practically inexhaustible, with large quantities of it available on the black market.

[At the same time, Carl van Roon was also the manager of the underground NZT-48 factory. On the surface, he was a Wall Street tycoon, but all the NZT-48 on the black market was deliberately circulated by him in order to find some people who had used NZT-48. He could then use NZT-48 as a threat to make these ordinary people who had experienced the life of a "genius" work for him.]

[This basically clarifies the plot of this world. To complete the mission, all you need to do is protect Eddie Mora. Carl van Roon can choose to give up, and the formula for NZT-48 can probably be obtained from him.]

It's an interesting world... You can't help but think of the T-virus concentrate you obtained earlier. Its function is to strengthen and recombine the genetic factors of living things, strengthening the human body. However, the downside is that most living things will experience strong side effects. Under the direct influence of the virus, the cerebral cortex will partially necrotize, and intelligence will be severely reduced.

[One develops the brain and destroys the body's functions; the other strengthens the body and affects the brain. The two complement each other perfectly. So what would happen if we tried to combine the T-virus and NZT? Perhaps it's worth a try!]

At this point, you have a bold idea. Returning to reality with Nzt-48 and its formula, you assemble a research team that uses Nzt-48 and completes subsequent research and development to see if this is possible. Success would bring you a significant step closer to achieving perfect transcendence in this world. You understand that your potential enemies may possess powerful supernatural abilities, but the combination of "Miracle in You" and technology isn't necessarily weaker.

The most difficult part of this mission is protecting an ordinary person like Eddie Mora. He is not one of those ghouls with strong survival abilities from the previous world.

After some discussion, Reef, a former mercenary, volunteered to protect Eddie Mora. Carol will be in charge of approaching Eddie Mora and gaining his trust. You will be responsible for finding NZT-48 and keeping an eye out for information from Team 45. Rodriguez and "Miracle to You," disguised as a Reincarnator, will be in charge of protecting Carl van Roon.

You can see their hidden agenda, undoubtedly trying to isolate you and gain control of the team, but you remain indifferent. True manipulation of people's hearts isn't about playing dirty tricks here; that's too vulgar.

[Okay, you did harbor some murderous intent towards them, but "Miracle for You" has a special rule: if the other party doesn't act in a manner detrimental to you, the disaster won't be triggered.]

The world outside the safe zone is New York in 2011. You are quite familiar with this city. In another time and space, in 1991, you spent four years here. You also have a safe house near Flushing.

[As expected, this safe house doesn't exist in this world, so you spend a few days getting familiar with the city's structure again. At the same time, you buy this drug called NZT-48 on the underground black market near Flushing - 10 pills cost only $5000.]

[Also, a miracle is triggered for you at this time, which is a sign that someone is secretly watching you and wants to harm you.]

The commotion caused by the successive disasters is enough to instantly reveal your presence. It's Team 45, a four-man squad. Their leader is particularly striking. He's wearing a red and blue bodysuit, his hair neatly combed up and held in place with gel, and a red and white cape. His gaze is cold and distant. Sweat beads on your forehead. Wait, is this—Superman?

The moment your gazes met, you confirmed your stance. The next second, the opponent appeared before you, swinging his fist at you. But then, miraculously, your passive ability triggered, and his attack deflected, sliding onto the body of your companion beside you. A burst of blood mist suddenly erupted, and then he was hit by a huge meteorite falling from the sky!

If the opponent is truly Superman, this meteorite would undoubtedly be fatal. Then, a continuous shower of meteorites rained down from the sky, creating a great deal of chaos behind you. Without hesitation, you turned and ran!
