Chapter 29 Starnet Shopping
Unfortunately, it seemed her luck for the day had already run out.
Aside from rust–covered metal and shattered synthetic materials, she didn’t even find a single withered vegetable leaf
Sure enough, there were no shortcuts in life.
Elizabeth let out a self–mocking smile. She wasn’t particularly disappointed and quickly shifted her full attention to searching for usable alloy materials
Before long, her storage button had filled up with quite a few metal pipes of decent length and thickness, along with several large metal plates
Once it couldn’t hold any more, she headed back.
After using up everything in her storage button, she had barely fenced off six feet of land.
This whole arca casily measured over a thousand feet around.
She had scavenged for half a day and worked for half a day, only to manage six feet in the end.
At this pace, even if she did nothing else, it would take more than half a year to finish.
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the 14th.
Looking at the reservation orders displayed in the Free Market backend, she saw that nearly half of her potatoes had already been sold.
Elizabeth felt like there was a small, excited bird fluttering in her chest. She was filled with anticipation for he upcoming trip to Centria Planet and could hardly wait.
She forced herself to calm down and began making her final preparations.
Aside from the portion she had deliberately set aside for seed stock, she harvested all the fully mature potatoes from the field.
She brushed the dirt off one by one and neatly stacked them into her storage button.
After a moment of thought, she boiled over a dozen good looking potatoes.
On one hand, they would serve as travel rations. More importantly, she could cut them into pieces at her tall and let potential customers taste them. She planned to win them over with real flavor.
Only after stuffing the storage button completely full did she finally stop, satisfied.
At 5 a.m., she appeared right on time at Entrance Three of the recycling station.
The robot that received her was as polite yet cold as ever. It quickly processed her boarding procedures

and led her into a small but clean and tidy rest cabin inside the spaceship.
With a deep rumble and faint vibrations, the massive garbage recycling station, or rather, this giant transport spaceship disguised as a ground facility, slowly lifted off and rose into the air.
When the spaceship pierced through Garbage Planet’s thick, polluted atmosphere and truly entered boundless universe, Elizabeth could not help pressing herself against the observation window, her er face nearly stuck to the cold glass.
It was her first time riding an interstellar spaceship, and also her first time gazing at the stars from su direct perspective.
Against the pitch black backdrop, countless stars were scattered like crushed diamonds. Distant nebul glowed with hazy light, and now and then, particles of cosmic dust streaked past with faint trails of lig The scene was silent and magnificent.
An indescribable sense of awe and excitement filled her chest, and she subconsciously slowed her breathing.
Still, no matter how beautiful the view was, staring at it for hours eventually became monotonous.
After the initial excitement faded, the scenery outside the window settled into a steady backdrop, and Elizabeth began to feel a bit tired.
She checked the time. There were still several hours before they reached Centria Planet.
She decided to open her device, log onto Starnet, and start a long planned shopping spree.
The recycling station not only offered terrible buyback prices, but also sold goods at more than double Starnet’s official prices.
If she was going to shop, now was the time.
After setting aside 50 thousand stellar coins for transportation fees paid to the recycling station, she sull had a massive 150 thousand stellar coins left. If she did not spend it now, what was she saving it for
The Starnet marketplace was indeed dazzling, packed with all kinds of products.
She was tempted by a compact personal hover car, but when she saw the price starting at 100 thousand stellar coins, she quietly closed the page.
The all purpose household service robot was also tempting, but it cost 200 thousand stellar cous
Still out of reach.
A full set of smart home furniture looked great too, but she didn’t even have a permanent place to live ye Buying it would be a waste.
Alloy fencing.
This was good. With this, she would not need to scavenge trash to build a fence.
One thousand stellar coins for three feet.

She coughed lightly.
She would keep scavenging trash.
Huh?
There were even portable houses.
Some were one bedroom units, others were multi story villas.
They could be stored inside a storage button and carried anywhere.
As for the price, one zero, two zeros, then five zeros, six zeros.
Sorry for bothering you.
She took out her water bottle and drank some hot water to calm herself before continuing to serious search for things she actually needed and could afford.
What she wanted most was still natural food.
