The Starfield Farming Sovereign (Elizabeth Schofield) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Market Price

The recycling station would withdraw from Planet A001 in ten days.

And during these ten days, it had completely given up operations. It no longer maintained its usual schedule of flights to and from the kingdom every three days.

It was simply waiting for the deadline to arrive, and then it would leave for good.

That also meant Elizabeth’s cheap and reliable “hitchhiking” route was completely gone.

Faced with this, she didn’t even hesitate. She immediately logged onto Starnet and contacted several private spaceship rental companies.

But the quoted prices made the corner of her eye twitch.

Renting a small private passenger spaceship–from Centria Planet to Planet A001, picking them up, then returning to Centria Planet–counted as one round trip.

That alone would cost one million stellar coins.

After they finished their business on Centria Planet, the ship would take them back to Planet A001, then return empty to its base. That counted as another round trip.

And that would be another one million.

Which meant just traveling to Centria Planet once would cost two million stellar coins.

And that wasn’t even the worst part. This type of small spacecraft could only carry up to five people.

Elizabeth stared at the string of numbers on the holographic screen, her heart practically bleeding.

Compared to the previous one hundred thousand she used to pay for a ride, this was a completely different world.

This wasn’t transportation. This was daylight robbery.

She clenched her teeth in frustration.

But reality didn’t care about fairness.

The farm needed supplies, and the harvested crops needed to be sold. This route couldn’t be cut off.

Painful as it was, the money still had to be spent.

Elizabeth took a deep breath, suppressing the ache in her chest, and booked a flight departing tomorrow.

This trip to Centria Planet had two main purposes. She needed to purchase urgently needed supplies for the farm, and to sell the latest batch of strawberries, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

As for how often she would make this trip in the future…

With costs this high, every trip would have to be carefully calculated. Unless there was enough product volume or urgent demand, the frequency would definitely drop.

After booking the ship, Elizabeth rubbed her temples and opened her device, logging into the Free Market platform.

Then, with practiced ease, she drafted a new sales announcement.

“Tycoon Farm Pre–Sale Notice

“Time: Tomorrow, 9:00 AM (Standard Time) – Until Sold Out

–

“Location: Mercury Plaza, East District, Spot C (same as before)

“Products:

“Fresh Potatoes: 360 stellar coins each

“Sweet Potatoes: 900 stellar coins each

“Premium Strawberries: 500 stellar coins each

“Note: Limited quantity. First come, first served.”

The moment the announcement was posted, it exploded across the Free Market and even wider across Starnet.

[It’s here! The Tycoon Boss is finally back!]

[Wait, this time it’s earlier than usual? Did Boss suddenly grow a conscience?]

[Strawberries too? I love strawberries! I’m buying no matter what!]

[500 per strawberry? That’s several times higher than the market price, isn’t it?]

[Still worth it! Anyone who’s tried the potatoes and sweet potatoes knows that Boss’s pricing is always fair! Totally worth it!]

[I’m lining up early tomorrow! I missed the sweet potatoes last time! Never again!]

Among the flood of comments, there was some mild surprise at the price, but far more overwhelming was excitement. A sense of finally, you’re back.

Elizabeth’s produce, with its quality and unique effects, had already built up a loyal and well–paying customer base through word of mouth.

Everyone understood one thing: if you could buy it, you were already winning.

Elizabeth glanced at the rapidly climbing order numbers and the heated discussion, then closed the interface.

The pricing had been carefully calculated based on market standards.
