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.
