"John, thank you for saving Miss Field." A man in civilian clothes came in and approached John: "I am the manager of Field Group. I am here on behalf of the Field family to visit you. Thank you. Miss Field wanted to thank you herself, but she was depressed after being hypnotized. She needs rest and treatment. But I have brought you a gift from the Field family, 10,000 stars. I hope you accept it."
He handed John a card.
It said: Manager, Roger East.
Ten thousand stars!
The Field family was very generous. The police reward was only 5,000, which was already a lot. The Field family gave 10,000, which was a fortune for ordinary people.
But it was nothing to the Field family.
Nancy Field had bought a star-lizard bag for 10,000 stars.
John hesitated and looked at the card. He decided to take it.
10,000 stars was a big amount. He would regret it if he refused. But he asked with concern: "How is Miss Field? Is she okay?"
"Miss Field was hypnotized by that damn phantom fox. Her brain nerves were badly damaged. She is in the hospital now, ugh…" Roger East sighed: "Thank you for this time. Ten thousand stars is nothing. Miss Field will thank you again when she recovers. If you need anything in the future, you can come to Field Group. This is our VIP card with my contact on it. I hope you will think of our group when you graduate."
He showed him the card.
It was a small electronic chip. It could connect to the owner directly. Roger East only gave this card to important people.
The middle-aged police officer saw everything. He had seen John's skill in the video. He said seriously: "John, I hope you can get into Star and Space University. If you don't pass the exam, you can join our police department!"
"Thank you, sir. All for humanity!" John saluted again: "Sir, I want to go home now. I have a request. I don't want the media to know about me in this case."
"Don't worry. The gangster's identity is a secret." The middle-aged police officer nodded and watched him leave the ward. "This guy has a bright future."

"I was lucky this time. I got 15,000 stars." John left the hospital and looked at the card from the manager. It had 10,000 stars of cash that he could transfer anytime. He pressed the button and moved the money to his account. He kept the card.
It might be useful to know someone from a big group.
He got home without anyone noticing.
He had 15,000 stars on his card. He thought about buying some things, like supplements.
He turned on his student chip in his room and adjusted it. A screen appeared with many web pages. He browsed them and did some online shopping.
The student chip could work as an optical brain, but it was slow. It was not as good as some expensive optical brains and smart brains. But he could still shop online, transfer money, and send money.
Some expensive brains could create scenes, like streets, zombies, and star monsters. They looked real. People could train, fight, exercise, and improve their body and mind.
They could also play large virtual online games.
Some online games needed a powerful optical brain, because they had to simulate many scenes.
John always wanted to have a smart brain. It could connect to his brain waves and let him enter virtual online games. He could enjoy different worlds. It was a great spiritual pleasure.
But he couldn't afford it now.
"I need to see what I can buy online. My main goal is to increase my body strength…" John searched and saw that the luxury supplements on the internet were very costly. The cheapest one was probably spinosa meat.
But it was not enough to restore the life energy he used for Fetal Breath.
"I should buy the Green God Nutrient Potion. Only rich people can afford it."
He searched and found the one he wanted. It was the Green God Nutrient Potion that Sister Knife had given him before.
Green God Company was a huge pharmaceutical group of humanity. They made different kinds of medicines and supplements. But they were expensive. A tube of Green God Nutrient Potion cost 500 stars.
John's family was a commoner family with some money. A few stars were enough for their daily expenses. The star currency was very strong. Ten stars could buy a lot of synthetic food.
People with hundreds of thousands of savings were the middle class. They could live well in Star City. But they couldn't buy Green God Nutrient Potion every day.
People with millions of assets were rich people, and they could afford it. But spending thousands of stars every day on nutrient supplements was still a lot.
Only the wealthy with tens of millions of stars could use it freely.
"Five hundred per tube, fine…" John clicked to buy.
He bought ten tubes for five thousand.
