“2/Anyone on the blacklist who admits their fault and makes a public apology can apply to reduce their negative points through work.

“3. Work reduction rule: For every 0.2 acre of land they clear on their own, pass inspection, and meet fa standards, one negative point will be removed..

“4. Until all negative points are paid off, they won’t be allowed to enter the farm or buy anything.

“5. While working, all farm safety rules must be strictly followed, and they must accept supervision from assigned farm staff.”

Kaleb and Levi controlled their robots, but their eyes kept drifting back to the bright number on their panels. It showed “Points Remaining to Offset: 30“.

Then they stared at the wasteland ahead, stretching endlessly and filled with piles of all kinds of interstellar trash. Their future felt completely hopeless, and their expressions looked even more bitter than before.

But they had no choice.

Their families had found out that not only did they fail to buy anything, but they also angered the farm owner and ended up on the blacklist. Furious, their families gave them a harsh order. “If you can’t get the farm products and fix the blacklist problem, don’t come back and shame us! Only return after you’ve paid back everything you owe!”

So the once–proud heirs could only grit their teeth and work as the lowest kind of laborers on this barren planet.

From time to time, people waiting to enter the farm would sneak curious looks at them, point, whisper, and chuckle. Each time that happened, Kaleb and Levi wished they could hide inside the robot cockpit.

Just then, another group slowly walked toward the “Pending Atonement Area.”

At the front was Kevin, followed by Eddie and several other spoiled rich kids. All of them had once joined the online crowd to slander the farm and were now forced here by their families.

At first glance, they saw Kaleb and Levi soaked in sweat among the piles of junk, looking nothing like wealthy heirs anymore. They also noticed the quiet stares coming from people nearby.

Eddie almost turned around right away. His face turned pale as he lowered his voice and whispered to Kevin, “Oh man… Kevin, do we really have to do this? With so many people watching, this is way too embarrassing. How about… we make up an excuse and leave first? We can just say the farm didn’t give us a chance.”

Kevin’s face was burning as well.

Doing manual labor like that in front of everyone felt like public punishment for spoiled rich kids like them, especially those who treated pride like their life.

But compared to the shame in front of him, the past few days at home had been even worse.

His parents‘ disappointed looks, the endless lectures and scolding every day, his allowance getting cut off and the mocking messages from Lilith filled with “I told you so“…

More importantly, his parents had once gone to the farm themselves. When they came back, they still talked about the taste of that fruit. And then there was the call from his so–called goddess, Xyla, that exposed who she really was. Those things shattered the self–deception he had been hiding behind.

He truly understood he had been wrong.

Wrong for trusting rumors. Wrong for blindly following the crowd. Wrong for attacking a stranger withou thinking at all.

Kevin wet his dry lips and forced himself to stop looking at Kaleb’s miserable situation. He stared at the cold notice board, then at the patch of green barely visible inside the farm entrance.

Finally, he made up his mind and told Eddie, “If you want to leave, then go. I promised my dad. If I don’t fix this and personally go inside to buy something, I feel ashamed going home.”

He paused. His voice became lower, but full of stubborn determination. “And… the things we said online before were wrong. We messed up, so we admit it and fix it. Embarrassing? We brought this on ourselves.”

Eddie and the others exchanged looks. They watched Kevin walk straight to the registration desk, then glanced again at the miserable “examples” in the distance. Thinking about the scolding waiting at home, they could only grimace and follow him.

Registering, receiving the location of their assigned plots, listening to safety instructions, and collecting simple tools… After finishing all that, the group looked like wilted vegetables left out in the cold.

When they finally reached their assigned wasteland, covered with metal scraps and hardened dirt, they looked down at the rough shovels and laser cutters in their hands. Then they glanced at Kaleb’s side, where at least large robots were still being used. A heavy wave of regret and despair hit them all at once.

Eddie wailed and almost dropped his tools. “Oh my god, how long is this supposed to take? Forever?” Kevin stayed silent. He just slammed his shovel into the hard dirt, kicking up dust.
