The Farming Saint in the Starry Wasteland

Chapter 31 Sudden Truth

“Stuff like that is usually sold cheap to people in the outer slums.”

Dante Silva rubbed the stubble on his chin and thought for a moment. “Yeah, Boss. If Evan likes it, I’ll just go buy him some potatoes from the market. That’s got to be better than digging them out of a trash pile.”

Jared gave a bitter smile.

He knew his coworkers meant well. But they didn’t understand. The special effect of that potato couldn’t be replaced by any high–quality potato sold in stores.

He shook his head. There was a strange stubborn look in his eyes. “It’s not the same. Evan has his heart set on that one. Forget it. Maybe it was just a phase.”

Seeing how down he still looked, Dante patted him on the shoulder and suggested, “Boss, if you really want that potato from Planet A001, it’s not impossible. All recycled items here have trace records. The details aren’t full, but we can still see which recycling station account sent them. You can check who sold it. Then try contacting them through the station’s system. Yeah, asking someone to keep an eye out for a potato on the Garbage Planet sounds crazy. But it’s still a lead. You might just need to spend a little money to make it happen.”

Jared’s eyes lit up.

Right. Why didn’t I think of that?

The chances were small. But it was better than doing nothing.

He quickly turned and rushed to the control panel. His fingers flew across the holographic screen as he pulled up the trash source data from the past few months.

Filter. Garbage Planet A001. Organic waste. Time range…

A familiar recycling account number popped up. Then he saw the name of the account holder–Elizabeth.

Jared froze.

His pupils shrank.

Elizabeth?

That Elizabeth?

The one who had been trending all over Starnet these past few days? The one about to marry the youngest general in the Kingdom, Cristian?

Jared couldn’t believe it.

All the confusion in his mind suddenly made sense.

No wonder a potato with such magical effects showed up at a recycling station.

Chapter 31 Sudden Truth

It was never picked up from a trash heap.

Finished

It was most likely a special, top–grade natural ingredient prepared by the Hewitts for the future general’s wife. Something rare. Something not even sold on the market.

Maybe Ms. Schofield had sold it to the recycling station without knowing its value. Or maybe she just didn’t care.

Now everything added up.

How could such a top–level potato belong to the dirty Garbage Planet?

It belonged to people at the very top.

Faced with this sudden truth, Jared felt even more helpless and disappointed.

If the seller was Elizabeth, then his plan to contact her and offer money for it instantly became a joke.

He was just a small team leader at the Garbage Processing Facility. He had no right and no way to contact someone like her. He didn’t dare ask. He didn’t dare try to buy something that she might not even care about–but that clearly had an extraordinary origin.

When Jared thought about Evan losing his chance to enter S–Class, his heart sank.

Giving someone hope, only to take it away, was the cruelest thing.

It would have been better if they had never found that potato at all.

The spaceship landed smoothly at the private dock of Centria Planet Freight Hub.

When the cabin door opened, a rush of air came in. It smelled clean, with a faint scent of disinfectant and energy engines, nothing like Garbage Planet.

Elizabeth stretched and stepped onto the ground of Centria Planet.

The freight hub was huge and busy. Cargo ships of all sizes came and went. Transport robots moved nonstop. Yet everything was clean and orderly. It was nothing like the broken, chaotic Planet A001.

She checked the time. It was still early.

To save money, she chose to take a public air bus instead of a private ride.

She walked quickly to the bus terminal outside the main station and boarded the first air bus heading toward the inner city.

The vehicle rose smoothly into the sky and followed a set air route. Through the large windows, she could see the lively streets below.

Tall skyscrapers. Streams of hover cars. Beautiful sky gardens. Everything looked high–tech and futuristic.
