Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

Venus slumped in his chair, cold sweat trickling down his temples, soaking his dignified court robes.

"That was close...that was close..." Taibai Jinxing patted his chest, his voice still trembling. "If my million spirit stones had been transferred, I'm afraid I would have had to pay off next month's salary. How am I going to pay off this credit card debt?!"

Looking at Venus's still-shaken expression, Jia Zang's lips curled into a playful smile. He lightly tapped the table with his fingers, while the system panel on his retina frantically refreshed its data.

[Ding! "Malicious competition" detected in the Heavenly Court's financial order!]

[Currently, there's a surge in Heavenly Court fraud cases: General Curtain-Rolling (scammed out of his personal savings), Marshal Tianpeng (failed in a pig butchering investment scam), and Wind-Following Ear (scammed out of a fake online shopping rebate scheme)...]

[System suggestion: The host should immediately launch a "nationwide anti-fraud" campaign to clean up the market and establish Qingyun Heavy Industry's sole dominant position in the financial sector.]

"Brother Taibai," Jia Zhuang stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the chaotic South Heavenly Gate Square below, "it seems someone is trying to steal my business."

"Stealing business?" Venus was taken aback. "What does Envoy Jia mean..."

"Think about it, all you immortals are currently in debt on your credit cards, desperately needing money, or afraid of being harassed by debt collectors." Jia Zhuang turned around, his eyes gleaming. "At this time, wouldn't a link that can help you 'increase your credit limit,' or a phone call that claims to be able to 'clear your name' be like a lifeline?"

Venus suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! These swindlers actually took advantage of our difficulties as immortals!"

"That's right," Jia Zhuang sneered. "But this isn't just about swindling money; it's about shaking the very foundations of Heaven! If all the gods are swindled, who will buy my 'Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Water'? Who will pay my credit card interest?"

"Then...what should we do?" Venus asked anxiously. "Should we ask the Heavenly King Tuota to lead troops to capture them?"

"Catch them? How? These swindlers are all in the mortal realm, using virtual IPs, they might even be operating servers in the eighteenth level of hell in the underworld." Jia Zhuang waved his hand, "Force won't work, we have to use magic to defeat magic."

"magic?"

"Yes, we're going to hold the 'First Heavenly Court Anti-Fraud Culture Promotion Week'!" Jia Zhuang snapped his fingers. "I want all the gods in Heaven to know that only the 'Heavenly Court Credit Card' issued by me, Jia Zhuang, is legitimate; everything else is a scam!"

Venus was stunned: "This...this can really work?"

"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying." A sly glint flashed in Jia Zang's eyes. "Brother Taibai, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip here. Go and summon General Rolling Curtain, Marshal Tianpeng, and Li Jing, who was just tricked out of the Exquisite Pagoda."

"What are you asking them to do?"

"Become an 'anti-fraud ambassador'!" Jia Zhuang grinned like a fox. "Personal accounts are the most effective. Especially Li Jing, whose pagoda was swindled away—that's such a touching story, so relatable!"

Although Venus sensed something was amiss, remembering how he had almost been tricked, he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go right now!"

Half an hour later.

A temporary high platform has been erected at Nantianmen Square.

Below the stage, a crowd of deities gathered to watch the spectacle. On the stage stood four dejected figures: General Curtain-Rolling, Marshal Tianpeng, and Shunfeng'er, along with the ashen-faced Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

Jia Zang, dressed in a sharp suit (a modern outfit redeemed from the system), stood in the center, holding a megaphone.

"Dear immortals! Please be quiet!"

Jia Zhuang cleared his throat, and his voice was amplified throughout the venue.

"As everyone knows, recently some criminals have appeared in our Heavenly Court, taking advantage of our gods' kindness and... well, their financial difficulties, to carry out fraudulent activities."

The immortals below the stage whispered among themselves, and many lowered their heads—clearly, quite a few had fallen victim to the trick.

"To help everyone protect their money, Qingyun Heavy Industry is holding this anti-fraud conference!" Jia Zhuang waved his hand. "Now, let's invite some 'heavyweight' guests to share their 'blood and tears' stories!"

Spotlights (actually several spotlights) shone on the four guests.

General Curtain was the first to step forward, his eyes red-rimmed: "I...I just clicked on a link that said it could increase my credit limit. Now all my savings of five hundred years are gone...I'm so sorry to my fiancée who's not even married yet!"

As he spoke, the Curtain-Roller General burst into tears.

A collective sigh rippled through the audience.

Next up was Pigsy. He looked utterly remorseful: "I was completely bewitched, believing that 'Chang'e Fairy's' lies and investing in that 'Jade Rabbit Breeding Base.' And then…and it turned out to be a scam! My ten thousand spirit stones were gone without a trace!"

Finally, it was Li Jing's turn.

Li Jing, his face dark with rage, gritted his teeth and said, "This Heavenly King... this Heavenly King is utterly disgraced! I actually believed the lies of the 'Heavenly Customs' and thought my pagoda was involved in smuggling... and as a result, they hacked into the remote control of the pagoda! Now that pagoda is still in their hands, demanding a ransom!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Even the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was fooled? This scam is outrageous!

Jia Zang seized the opportunity to speak, his face filled with sorrow: "Look! Look! Even the Heavenly King has been deceived! Fellow immortals, are you still clinging to any illusions?"

He suddenly raised his voice: "From today onwards, for anything involving transfers, credit limit increases, or secure accounts, you must first call Qingyun Heavy Industry's customer service hotline to verify! Also, I've developed a new 'Heavenly Court Anti-Fraud APP,' everyone must download and install it, and activate the 'National Anti-Fraud Center'... oh no, 'Heavenly Court Anti-Fraud Center' protection function!"

[System notification: The system has detected that the host is promoting the "Heavenly Court Anti-Fraud App".]

[This app includes a "big data monitoring" function, which can track the flow of funds and psychological state of the users in real time.]

[Anti-fraud propaganda effect: Excellent! The celestial beings' trust in the host has increased by 300%!]

Below the stage, the "deities" all pulled out their phones and frantically downloaded the anti-fraud app with the "gold ingot" icon.

"Downloaded! Downloaded!"

"This app is great! You can even earn points to exchange for spirit stones!"

"Envoy Jia is truly a living bodhisattva! Not only did he lend us money, but he also taught us how to avoid being scammed!"

Jia Zang looked at the fanatical believers below the stage and sneered inwardly.

What is anti-fraud?

This is clearly a trap.

Through the anti-fraud app, he not only legitimately monitored the flow of funds for all the fraudsters, but also completely eliminated those scammers who tried to steal his money.

"Brother Taibai," Jia Zhuang whispered into Taibai Jinxing's ear, "it seems even immortals are no match for telecom fraud and 'pig butchering scams.' Their intelligence is questionable. It seems we need to improve the cultural literacy of the immortals."

"Why?" Venus asked, puzzled.

"Look," Jia Zhuang pointed to the group of people in the audience who had been swindled out of everything and could only pin their hopes on "anti-fraud apps" and "credit card limit increases," "they're not only broke now, they're also brainless. It's time to educate them, cultivate their character, and incidentally raise their IQs."

"This is called..." Jia Zang paused, then uttered a common term, "cultural export."

[Livestream chat]

[666! Mr. Jia's move was on fire!]

[Anti-fraud is a pretense; their real purpose is to exploit people!]

[Li Jing: Don't I have any pride?]

[Pigsy: Chang'e deceived my feelings!]

What exactly is cultural export? I'm really looking forward to it!

Jia Zang looked at all of this with satisfaction.

fraud?

No, from this day forward, there is only one legitimate "liar" in Heaven, and that is Jia Zang.
