18, A 5000 Starts Task

He arrived at another building in the school and entered it.

"Hey, little girl, can you help me find some work-study tasks that pay well?" In front of the optical brain on the counter, a girl with fine features and long hair was operating, and John spoke bluntly.

"Who are you calling little girl? I'm a senior student." The fine girl gave John a cold look: "Show me your student chip."

John took out a chip the size of a credit card, and saw the fine girl scan it on the optical brain, and all kinds of information about him appeared.

"Your vitality score is 0.7?" The fine girl scoffed: "Then you can only do some common jobs like tutoring and cleaning."

John didn't say anything to the fine girl's contemptuous face. His wrist suddenly twisted, his bones cracked, and he flicked it lightly, drawing a circular arc in the air.

Bang!

His arm was shaking like a steel rod, humming constantly, his five fingers were like a furious venomous snake, with fangs biting fiercely, making people shudder.

This was not an arm, but a steel python.

"What? Boneless Jiu-Jitsu, C-level body technique? Bone Twisting Roundabout Kill?"

The fine girl's eyes widened: "Is your vitality really 0.7?"

She was not a fool, otherwise, she would not work in the school.

"I don't like to attract attention, and I concealed my strength during the assessment. I will surprise everyone when I take the final entrance exam of Star and Space University." John knew that this display impressed the girl. Those who could learn Boneless Jiu-Jitsu by themselves were all famous people in the school.

"In that case, let me help you find some jobs that pay well. How about helping the police solve cases?" The fine girl said: "This job pays the most, but it is risky."

"Sure, let's choose the job of helping the police solve cases. What is the highest paying job?" John's eyes sparkled.

"The highest job reward is 5,000 stars." The fine girl said, "It is to assist the police in catching a dangerous criminal. Recently, a criminal has sneaked into the city and committed crimes repeatedly. Moreover, this criminal is very powerful and can hypnotize people."

"Five thousand stars!" John was stunned, it was a huge amount of money.

"But the criminal could hypnotize, which made him very dangerous. Even my brother might not be able to handle him. Well, I'm just assisting the police, and I shouldn't be the main force."

"Okay, I'll take this job." After thinking for a while, he nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am."

"Alright, I'll place an order." Soon, a form was printed out and handed to John: "You go to the police station and report. Bring the document from the school, and someone will let you join this job. But your vitality score is too low, and you have to prove your strength when you get to the police station. Otherwise, no one will let you interfere with this job."

"I understand." John turned and left.

"How intriguing. There is such a person in the school. Vitality 0.7, mastering Boneless Jiu-Jitsu easily…I'll remember you, John Walter." The fine girl looked at John's back with a smile on her face.

____________________

The police department was a prominent place in the city, with tall buildings all around, surrounded by maglev cars. These cars were very costly, and John's family couldn't afford them. Now the cars were all powered by nuclear energy blocks. The energy of a fingernail could support tens of thousands of kilometers of driving without pollution.

Cars had advanced to such a level that ordinary families couldn't buy them, and the government didn't develop low-end cars because they would cause pollution.

Those who owned cars were wealthy people with status.

"I'm here to apply for a temporary job." Walking into a hall where many police officers were busy, John came to a counter and handed over the document from the school.

A twenty-eight or nine-year-old policeman took it, and his face showed disdain: "Are you kidding me? You have a vitality of 0.7 and you want to help us catch the killer? That's ridiculous."

As he spoke, he was about to toss the file back to John.

"Stop!" John's arm shook, and he lightly pressed the other's hand.

"Huh?" The policeman countered with a capture, an ancient martial art "Silk-Wrapping Hands", a slight twist could break a person's arm.

But John's arm twisted more sharply than his. With a thrust, his arm expanded half an inch, and he jabbed at the other's shoulder.

Ouch!

The policeman felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and was temporarily numb, as if half of his body had been electrocuted.

"Bone Twisting Roundabout Kill? Bone-off String Thrust!" He cried out, "The bones of your body are so flexible?"

"Wow! Really? This student actually learned Boneless Jiu-Jitsu? This is a C-level body technique."

"Is Boneless Jiu-Jitsu effective in real combat?"

"It's been a while since such a strong student showed up." Some police officers gathered around him one by one. They were all people with 0.8 vitality and proficient fighting skills.

To join the police, you had to have a vitality of 0.8.

"Since you know C-level body techniques, you are qualified." A middle-aged police officer came over and took John's file: "It seems that you have concealed a lot of strength. You are allowed to participate in assisting our police department in arresting operations, but you must follow our commands and arrangements. You can't act like a hero, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Come with me."

John was led to an internal office, which was a serious crime unit, where there were more than a dozen policemen, all of whom were experts, who were in charge of this case.

Besides, there were a few men and women who were clearly students, but they were relatively older. All of them were over 20 years old, and they were university students. Of course, they were not from Star and Space University. They were just from ordinary universities.

Humans now had thousands of renowned universities, but sadly none of them could match "Star and Space University". Everyone at Star and Space University was virtually unbeatable.

The university students were surprised when they saw John, a high school student, arriving. They didn't expect that a high school student could also join the job.

"This is a high school student, John Walter, who has learned C-level body techniques, Boneless Jiu-Jitsu, and can use them effectively in real combat." The middle-aged police officer introduced.

"C-level body techniques? Impressive."

Immediately, everyone looked at him with respect.

"I'm new here. I don't know much, I hope you can teach me something." John was very modest.

"I'm not qualified to teach you anything, but you can actually master C-level body techniques. After graduation, if you enter the police academy, your rank will be higher than ours." A policeman said: "But this case is very tough. We are short of staff. We hope that talented people can help. You came at the right time. This is the summary of the case, you can read it first."

"Alright."

John saluted, with a straight posture, like a professional soldier, which was what students should have.

Nowadays, military training for students was very long. Elementary school, middle school, and high school each had a year of military training.

This was mandatory by the government in order to improve the quality of students.
