The Hewitts hadn’t taken her gift for granted just because of her situation or their relationship. That kind of respect made Elizabeth feel comfortable.

She replied with a simple “Alright” and closed the communication.

She carefully checked the portion of produce she had set aside for the Hewitts, making sure every item was of the highest quality.

Even though they insisted on paying, she had already made up her mind that this would be her gesture as a member of the younger generation. She wouldn’t actually take their money.

After all, the goodwill they had shown her–and that promise of “come to us if you ever need help“– was worth far more than a few batches of produce.

With that settled, Elizabeth began drafting her procurement list.

There were a lot of people on the farm now. If she wanted them to work for her with peace of mind, sufficient survival supplies were a must.

Based on her memory, she first listed everything available at the recycling station.

Liquid supplements, sedatives, energy stones, toolkits, first aid kits, thermal clothing, temperature- controlled tents… All essential survival supplies.

The more, the better.

A temperature–controlled tent would cost five thousand stellar coins.

That was less than half the price at the recycling station.

Elizabeth decided to buy more and convert them directly into staff housing.

And if there were staff quarters, then uniforms should follow.

A full set of temperature–controlled clothing would be five hundred stellar coins.

The seller even promised a ten–year lifespan, with free replacement if damaged.

So, she bought a set for everyone.

With transportation costing two million, she had to bring back enough supplies to make every coin worth

1. it.

Ever since that day Elizabeth had given her a small box of strawberries, Cheryllina felt like she had been struck by some kind of sweet magic.

That small box–barely more than a dozen bright red fruits–gave off a pure, irresistible fragrance, completely different from the artificial flavors she remembered.

She had washed them carefully, almost reverently. Then, she took her first bite.

Juice burst across her tongue instantly. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and slight tartness, combined with the subtle refreshing feeling afterward, completely conquered her senses.

It was incredible.

It shattered everything she thought she knew about fruit.

Even though she tried to savor them, the box was eventually gone.

And yet, the taste seemed to linger, making all the bland strawberries and synthetic strawberry–flavored products on the market feel utterly lifeless.

Now, that lingering sweetness still haunted her, making every bland strawberry and every synthetic strawberry–flavored food on the market impossible to enjoy anymore.

They tasted like rubber to her now.

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. During a break at work, she secretly logged onto the Free Market and found the Tycoon Farm page. With a hint of urgency that she didn’t even realize herself, she left a comment under the latest post.

Cheryllina typed, [Boss! The strawberries you gave me last time were insanely good! They were completely addictive! Will you be selling strawberries at your next stall? Please say yes!] She even attached a begging emoji. The moment she hit send, the page refreshed.

As if answering her call, a brand–new pinned announcement appeared.

[Tycoon Farm Emergency Pop–Up Stall Announcement for Tomorrow!]

Cheryllina sat up straight instantly.

The sale time was moved forward from two days later to tomorrow morning at ten?

The location was the same, but there was an additional product: premium strawberries.

500 stellar coins each.

They really have strawberries!

She covered her mouth, letting out a small, excited gasp.

But then, her eyes moved to the small note at the bottom, and her smile froze.

Her excitement deflated instantly, like a popped balloon.

Oh no.

She had a quarterly report meeting tomorrow morning on new medical equipment development.

It started at nine and would last until at least eleven.

There was no way she could leave.

With how popular Tycoon Farm’s products were, everything would definitely be sold out by the time she got there.

Just thinking about missing those unforgettable strawberries made her chest tighten.

No, she absolutely couldn’t miss this.

Her first instinct was to call her husband, Emeriton.

The call connected quickly. Emeriton’s gentle, smiling face appeared on the holographic screen, with the clean background of his office behind him.

“Cheryllina, what’s wrong? Why are you calling me at this hour?”

“Help me!” she said dramatically, her voice urgent. “Tycoon Farm is setting up a stall tomorrow morning at nine at the same place, and they have strawberries! But I have a meeting I absolutely can’t miss!”

Emeriton couldn’t help but laugh at how serious she looked. “All that for this? Look at you, you’re so anxious. What do you want to buy? I happen to be free before ten tomorrow. I can go line up for you.”

“Really?! That’s amazing!” Her mood flipped instantly, eyes sparkling. “I knew you were the best!”

She immediately switched into planning mode, counting on her fingers. “I’ve already decided, I want potatoes, sweet potatoes, and strawberries. One hundred of each!”

One hundred was the first purchase limit tier set by Elizabeth.
