Chapter 61 Going to Be Rich!

She turned and walked into the potato field covered by the small circle. The faint light of the formation flickered, and from the outside her figure became blurred, as if she had melted into the air.

Inside the circle, Elizabeth looked at the potatoes covering the ground and let out a helpless sigh.

No matter how delicious something was, eating it every single day would grow tiresome.

Her gaze shifted to the nearby sweet potato patch. The green vines spread across the soil, lush and full of life.

Sigh, I should’ve bought some cooking oil. Otherwise, I could have cooked something with them.

“Forget it. It’s you, then.”

She crouched down, pushed aside the vines, and dug out several sweet potatoes that were medium–sized with purplish–red skins.

She washed them clean, peeled them, cut them into uneven chunks, and tossed them straight into a pot of water to boil.

As the temperature rose, the sweet potato pieces began to roll gently in the bubbling water, growing softer and more tender by the minute.

A pure, natural sweetness slowly drifted out from beneath the lid.

It was not the cloying sweetness of syrup, but the essence stored within the plant itself, released simply and directly under heat.

When the sweet potatoes were soft enough to be pierced easily with a fork, Elizabeth turned off the heat and eagerly scooped herself a bowl.

The broth was clear, cradling the soft chunks within it. It looked especially inviting.

She lifted a spoonful, blew on it gently, and took a sip.

The texture was astonishingly soft and smooth. It barely required chewing before it melted on her tongue.

A gentle, full–bodied sweetness instantly filled her mouth–layered, rich like honey, yet still carrying the fresh, earthy notes unique to the root.

After swallowing, a light aftertaste lingered in her throat, as if she had swallowed a trace of sunlight

Even without any added sugar, the sweet potato’s natural sweetness was enough to delight the taste buds, bringing a simple, satisfying sense of happiness.

On Starnet, sweet potatoes were uniformly priced at 200 stellar coins for every 100 grams, exactly twice as expensive as regular potatoes.

Since potatoes were divided into ordinary and premium grades, she would need to conduct proper research before deciding how to price sweet potatoes.

As she bit on the sweet potato, Elizabeth began planning for the day after tomorrow. That would be the recycling station’s scheduled return trip to the kingdom sector.

She directly contacted the recycling station’s customer service channel.

“Hello, this is Garbage Planet A001 recycling station,” a staff member’s voice came through.

“Hello, this is Elizabeth. I would like to take your spaceship to Centria Planet again the day after tomorrow. May I reserve a seat?”

There was a brief pause on the other end. Then the tone became noticeably warm and respectful. “Ms., oh no, Mrs. Hewitt. Of course. Absolutely. We’ll definitely be reserving a seat for you.”

Elizabeth replied calmly, “I’ll transfer 50,000 stellar coins to your company account shortly.”

The staff member hesitated. “Well, Mrs. Hewitt, our station manager specifically instructed us that if you are taking our spaceship back to Centria Planet, the fee can be waived…”

It was clear that on the day she went to Centria Planet to complete her marriage registration, the recycling station had confirmed her identity and decided to offer her this special treatment.

However, she preferred not to owe favors if something could be settled with money.

After all, transactions built on clear payment were the most stable in the long run.

“No, thanks. I’ll pay as usual,” Elizabeth said, her tone calm but firm. “Fifty thousand stellar coins. I will transfer it before departure the day after tomorrow. Let’s proceed as previously agreed.”

“O–okay, alright! We’ll do everything exactly as you said!” the staff member replied quickly, not daring to argue further.

The call ended.

Elizabeth felt completely at ease with the ticket price she had set for herself.

When the recycling station transported goods to Centria Planet, the base price started at 10,000 stellar coins, depending on volume and weight.

If someone purchased a standard humanoid robot from Starnet, the shipping fee alone was about 20,000. stellar coins.

She was a living person. She took up more space and required more care.

Adding an extra 5,000 on top of that, 50,000 for a round trip seemed entirely reasonable to her.

Her eyes swept over the more than half–acre of potato field, and the little calculator in her mind started clicking furiously.

Last time, she had used only about 20 potatoes as seed. In the end, she harvested more than 1,300

potatoes.

Each weighed about 200 grams.

After setting aside some for future planting, selling a small portion at a low price to the recycling station, and offering a few at discounted rates, most of them had been sold at 180 stellar coins per 100 grams.

In total, she earned 410,000 stellar coins.

This time…

Her eyes grew brighter. In this field alone, she had planted over 400 potato plants.

Even with a conservative estimate of 50 potatoes per plant, that would be more than 20,000 potatoes.

At 180 stellar coins each, that would amount to 7 million stellar coins!

Seven million!

Oh my goodness!

I’m going to be rich!

Elizabeth covered her mouth, so excited that she nearly wanted to roll on the ground.

Still, she forced herself to remain composed.

After all, so many people were working not far away. Even though they could not see inside the circle, she still had an image to keep up.

With such enormous wealth within reach, Elizabeth eagerly logged back into Starnet and opened her shopping cart.

It was filled with all the items she had long had her eye on.
