The Farming Saint in the Starry Wasteland (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 A Fair Trade

“But I can guarantee this. Under the same growing conditions, the crops from my seeds will definitely be better than any others out there.”

“Ms. Schofield, you don’t need to explain. I’ve been farming for years. I can tell good seeds from bad ones. Your seeds are the most vigorous ones I’ve ever seen in my life,” Marcelino said. His eyes were slightly red as he bowed. “Ms. Schofield, thank you!”

Elizabeth waved it off. “No need to thank me. It’s a fair trade. But let’s be clear, next time, I’ll need new varieties. These won’t count anymore.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll head to the seed company later and pick out new ones.” He paused, then added. “Why don’t you give me a list of what you want? I’ll just buy according to that.”

Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. She gave him a thumbs–up. “Hahaha! Perfect! Let’s do it your way, Mr. Hilton!”

Marcelino personally directed the workers as they loaded the pre–sorted and packaged low- grade seeds into the storage buttons. They filled over a dozen of them, each with a 300- cubic–foot capacity.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, pumpkins, bitter melon, and many more… The variety was so complete that it could fill an entire small garden.

Once the trade was done, Elizabeth said her goodbyes.

Her spaceship took off and disappeared into the clouds.

Marcelino didn’t waste a second.

“Move!” He turned and waved toward the fields. “Plant all the new seeds we just got- strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes. Don’t leave a single one behind!”

The workers moved fast, skillfully placing the seeds into hydroponic tanks.

In the Interstellar Kingdom, soil–free hydroponics was the only widely used farming method.

Seeing so many seeds being planted at once, Miles felt uneasy. What if Seafarm Group stepped in again, and they couldn’t sell the crops?

He couldn’t help asking quietly, “Boss, planting this much at once… What if we can’t sell it?”

Marcelino stared at the nutrient solution flowing into the tanks. His voice was rough but firm.

“As long as the product is good enough, natural crops will always sell in the kingdom. And if they don’t…

He paused, a sharp glint in his eyes. “Then we’ll do what the Tycoon Boss does–sell them directly on the Free Market.”

Inside the spaceship, Elizabeth checked the seed packages she had just traded for. Her smile kept getting brighter.

“Tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce… even broccoli and bitter melon!” she sighed happily. “With these varieties, my garden is finally going to feel complete.”

She looked out the window at the clouds passing by and thought out loud, “Marcelino’s reliable… Looks like we can work together long–term.”

Then she turned back, already excitedly making plans. “Fiona, once we get back, we’re planting all of these! I’m finally not stuck eating just potatoes and sweet potatoes anymore…”

She could already see it: in the near future, her farm would be a lush, green paradise full of the smell of fresh fruit.

At the edge of the Empire, GH–7 Defense Outpost.

The massive hull of the heavy troop carrier Ironclad slowly pulled into the port.

The ship’s exterior was covered in horrific new scars and black scorch marks from energy weapons. Several armor plates were twisted out of shape, silently telling the story of the brutal battle they had just survived.

The hatch opened with a heavy hydraulic hiss. But there were no cheers this time. No celebration.

Instead, a thick smell of burnt metal, blood, coolant, and the sickeningly sweet leftover scent of mental power waves drifted out, weighing heavily on everyone waiting at the dock.

Cristian was the first to step down.

His combat suit was torn in several places, with a deep gash in his shoulder plate. His arm was wrapped in a blood–soaked emergency bandage. His face was smeared with soot and someone else’s blood.
