This Female Celebrity Comes from the Cultivation World

Chapter 12: Looking for a Job



Chapter 12

Song Jixing entered her home carrying a basket of vegetables and unlocked the door with her keys.

The sound of the kitchen exhaust fan echoed outside the door.

"Junior Martial Sister is back!" Shen Feixian called out.

Shen Feixian was sitting at the kitchen table, engrossed in his computer work, and he looked up to greet Song Jixing as she arrived.

With her keen hearing, Song Jixing, who had regained some of her spiritual power and was stronger than before, knew without looking that it was she who had been cooking in the kitchen.

"Is Senior Martial Sister not here?" Song Jixing asked as she changed her shoes.

"Senior Martial Sister went out for a stroll and said she'll be back later."

Song Jixing nodded slightly and opened the refrigerator door, putting things inside from the bag of vegetables she was carrying.

It was a good thing for Senior Martial Sister to go out and explore the world early on.

Song Jixing tilted her head and glanced at the neatly cut vegetables on the kitchen counter, the carrots and green peppers sliced evenly and with consistent thickness. She couldn't help but marvel silently.

Truly worthy of someone who practices the sword!

"Junior Martial Sister, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with!" Shen Feixian said with a smile on his face, calling Song Jixing's name.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Feixian turned his computer one hundred and eighty degrees and showed the screen to Song Jixing.

"Junior Martial Sister, I did some research on the internet today. I found a way to make money by working online from home... It's a job that doesn't require any identification, and you can earn money by doing typing and order processing tasks. However, it requires a deposit." Shen Feixian had some money given to him by Song Jixing, so he could afford the deposit, but he was hesitant about whether to spend so much money all at once.

Alarm bells rang in Song Jixing's mind. Why did it sound like a scam?

"Hmm? What kind of job is it?"

"They say it's a part-time job working from home, typing and processing orders. You get a commission for each task, but you have to pay a deposit." Shen Feixian had some money from Song Jixing and could afford the deposit, but he was hesitating about whether to spend so much money at once.

"It's not a legitimate job, Senior Martial Brother! People who genuinely offer you work won't ask for a deposit. They would sign a contract with you, like a sworn agreement."

"Are all these people scammers then?"

"Yes."

"So, this website was created by them to deceive people?" Shen Feixian asked, somewhat understanding.

Song Jixing glanced at the website and considered it a legitimate job search website, but...

"Senior Martial Brother, this website is like a marketplace in our hometown. In the marketplace, there are good and bad merchants. These scammers are the ones who come to swindle money."

"Don't the Judicial Court take any action?"

Song Jixing was momentarily speechless. How should she explain?

"It's not that they don't take action, it's just that there are too many things for them to handle. There are too many people here, and they can't keep up. The scammers are hiding too well, and the officials from the Judicial Court usually can't see them. But if the officials from the Judicial Court do see them, they will definitely take action!" Song Jixing explained earnestly.

"I see," Shen Feixian nodded.

He began typing rapidly on the computer screen.

Song Jixing leaned over to take a look.

She saw lines of code running quickly on the computer, with various letters becoming a blur.

"When did you learn all this, Senior Martial Brother?" Song Jixing asked curiously.

"After you gave me the computer, I had some free time, so I read a few books and learned it."

"What kind of books did you read, Senior Martial Brother?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Feixian opened a document, and the screen was filled with a dense array of book titles.

Song Jixing casually glanced over and saw "Introduction to Algorithms," "Code Complete," "The C Programming Language," "Unix Network Programming," and a plethora of other computer-related books listed below.

"Where did you find these books, Senior Brother?" Song Jixing hesitated and asked.

Speaking of this matter, Shen Feixian smiled and said, "After Junior Sister taught me to browse the forums, I posted a thread asking how to learn computer science. Many kind-hearted people replied and sent me these books."

"These books offer endless amusement when read one by one!"

It was precisely because of these kind-hearted people that Shen Feixian felt that there were many good people online, and he became even more convinced of the money-making scheme of brushing orders.

"So, Senior Brother, what are you doing?" Song Jixing pointed at the code on the computer screen that she couldn't understand.

"Oh, I'm using a scammer's IP address to trace their location... and I found it," Shen Feixian suddenly spoke.

Looking at the row of place names and residential areas that appeared on the computer, one of them happened to be in their city.

This...

These days were becoming more and more exciting.

"How do you plan to handle this, Senior Brother?" Song Jixing asked.

"Should I pack their addresses and the evidence of their scams and send them all to the police?"

"Sure," Song Jixing nodded, unsure whether to be amazed by Senior Brother's rapid progress in computer skills or to marvel at his sense of justice.

"Senior Brother, when you do these things, remember to hide your own tracks. If the police come and find out that you don't have an ID... it'll be troublesome for me!" Song Jixing reminded.

Song Jixing could imagine the news changing from "Female college student brainwashes and tricks three young men" to "Female college student brainwashes genius computer expert..."

Shen Feixian earnestly nodded, "Junior Sister, don't worry, I know."

Junior Sister had told him long ago that everyone online is a stranger, and it's hard to distinguish between good and bad, so he should conceal himself and not reveal too much.

He wasn't an inexperienced young person.

After considering it for a moment, Song Jixing finally patted Shen Feixian's shoulder, "Senior Brother, there's no rush to find a job. I can support you all."

"Junior Sister, I'm not in a hurry!"

"Okay!"

Thinking that there were still many scammers on this website, Shen Feixian decided to be a good person to the end.

He casually copied a language library for artificial intelligence from the internet and quickly wrote dozens of lines of code, allowing the AI to chat with the scammers on his behalf while simultaneously extracting their IP addresses and locations.

Even if Shen Feixian wasn't in front of the computer, the chat box on the screen continued to pop up rapidly.

The artificial intelligence conversed with the scammers effortlessly.

[How much money can I earn?]

The other side of the conversation swiftly typed, [I won't say how much, but if you take on more orders, earning $300 a day is possible. The most skilled member of our team once made $1,000 in a day!]

A message quickly shot back, [Earning $1,000 a day? Impressive!]

[Here are our membership fees: Regular membership is $99. You can only take 10 orders a day. Advanced membership is $199, which allows you to take 30 orders a day. The highest level is $399, with unlimited order capacity! Take your time to consider.]

[Do I need to become a member?]

[Yes, there's no such thing as a free lunch.]

Yu Qing returned during mealtime with a balloon in hand.

Without asking too much, the senior brothers gathered around the table and finished their dinner. Afterwards, they each began cleaning the house and the kitchen.

When the cleaning was almost done, Song Jixing finally spoke about what happened during today's marathon.

Upon hearing that Song Jixing was able to use spiritual power, the faces of the three individuals lit up with joy.

Song Jixing condensed a trace of spiritual energy within himself, forming a tiny blue ball of light the size of a grain of rice.

"Unfortunately, it's too little," Song Jixing expressed regret.
