Chapter 382 Crowds Awaken

“So she just… doesn’t care about us anymore?”

“It’s not that she doesn’t care. It’s that she’s got leverage now. Didn’t you see? The Hewitts and those other families are sending their own spaceships. She doesn’t need our shipping capacity at all.”

“Then what are we supposed to do? We’re trying to make things right, and she won’t even respond.”

“Even if she won’t respond, we still have to show goodwill. We’re the ones asking her now, not the other way around. Even if she doesn’t use our ships, we should take the initiative to restore the routes and make them even better. At the very least, it shows our attitude to the public and helps repair our image. And if we make it easier for people to get to the farm, that’s basically a form of… making up for what we did.”

In the end, the shipping companies reached a consensus.

Whether Elizabeth accepted it or not, they had to immediately and publicly restore the Planet A001 routes. Not only that, they had to offer the best possible terms and make sure everyone knew about it.

So, the very next day after Elizabeth’s indifferent reply, several of the kingdom’s major shipping companies released official announcements at almost the same time, all with similar wording.

“To meet the growing demand from travelers and business clients, and following a comprehensive reassessment and technical upgrades, our company has decided to fully restore and enhance interstellar routes between Planet A001, Centria Planet, and nearby sectors, effective immediately. To better serve passengers traveling to Tycoon Farm on Planet A001, we have upgraded our previous charter-based service to fixed daily flights with scheduled departures. We now offer multiple cabin options, including standard, comfort, and premium classes, to meet different needs. At the same time, to thank our customers for their continued support and to sincerely apologize for the previous service interruption caused by errors in our earlier assessment, all tickets across all cabin classes will be completely free for the first three days of operation. Additional long-term promotional fares will also be introduced in the future.”

As soon as the announcements were released, the entire industry was shaken, and the public was in an uproar.

Daily scheduled flights.

Free tickets for the first three days.

This was not just restoring a route.

It was basically shouting to everyone, “Want to go to Planet A001? Want to visit Tycoon Farm? Don’t have a private spaceship? No problem. We’ll take you there for free.”

A few months ago, this kind of behavior would have sounded completely absurd.

But now, with Tycoon Farm’s overwhelming influence and the desperate situation these shipping companies were in, it somehow felt completely reasonable.

If this had happened before, Elizabeth might have felt relieved, maybe even happy. It would have meant her products could be shipped out more easily, and the farm’s growth would face one less obstacle.

Chapter 382 Crowds Awaken

But now…

As Elizabeth listened to Fiona report on the shipping companies” “grand gesture, her expression barely changed. She simply gave a quiet “Oh.”

“Boss, does this mean they’ve completely backed down?” Fiona asked, her tone a mix of satisfaction and disbelief.

“Let them do what they want.” Elizabeth took a sip of water and looked off into the distance. Several medium transport ships bearing the Hewitt family crest could be seen undergoing adaptation tests. “How’s our application for a private route going?”

“Skylar already submitted it. It should be approved soon. The first batch of three small high-speed cargo ships we ordered will be delivered next month,” Fiona replied.

Elizabeth nodded and stopped paying attention to the shipping companies altogether.

She had her own plans and confidence. At this point, whether others tried to please her or stand in her way barely caused a ripple in her mind.

The restoration of the routes was just a bonus for the farm. It mainly made things more convenient for ordinary visitors who did not have private spaceships. It was helpful, but far from essential.

What Elizabeth did not know was that on Centria Planet, longtime customers of Tycoon Farm, who had been waiting eagerly for so long, completely erupted with excitement when they saw the news.

Most of them were ordinary people. Office workers, small shop owners, retirees, and students. They still remembered the days of lining up at Mercury Plaza just to buy a bag of potatoes, a few sweet potatoes, or, if they were lucky, one or two boxes of strawberries. Those memories felt vivid and full of life.

Later, when Elizabeth had been stranded on Planet A001 and the routes were cut off, they had worried about the capable young owner, afraid her hard work would be crushed by hostile forces.

At the same time, they felt disappointed and frustrated that they could no longer taste those unforgettable fruits and vegetables.

Now, the shipping companies’ announcement instantly ignited all the excitement they had been holding back.

[The routes are back! They’re really back! And now there are scheduled flights!]
