Chapter 96 A Package
But after doing it, he felt a little more at ease.
At the very least, he had not kept this miracle to himself.
He shared that mysterious gift from the Garbage Planet–that glimmer of hope that might change with the brothers who had once fought shoulder to shoulder with him, lived and bled alongside h
No matter what the outcome would be, at least his conscience was clear.

uncase.
Her brother Tyson’s Mental Power damage level had already dropped from over 70%-once danger close to total collapse–to an unbelievable 69% after he ate those miraculous potatoes!
Just the day before yesterday, one of his fingers had twitched slightly, and a faint, indistinct sound ha escaped from his throat.
It was the first sign of him waking up in three years!
Hope was right in front of her now, like a thin ray of light breaking through the darkness.
But that faint light had begun to flicker as their supply of potatoes was about to run out.
Erin had practically combed every possible place on Ottes that might sell natural food, searching for them.
Whether it was large supermarkets or hidden black market corners, the potatoes she found were either ordinary white–fleshed ones or were in such poor condition that they could not even be eaten.
She never found those miraculous potatoes again—the kind with rough skin, golden flesh, and that strange, mysterious power.
What should I do? Tyson has finally started getting better…
Just as panic and despair were about to swallow her whole, the intelligent housekeeping system in the workshop suddenly chimed with a notification. “Erin, a package from Centria Planet has arrived for you a the front desk. Please pick it up as soon as possible.”
Centria Planet?
A package?
Erin froze for a moment. She did not have any friends on Centria Planet.
Full of confusion, she hurried to the front desk and signed for a small but heavy cardboard box.

Chapter 96 A Package
In the sender information column, a name was written: Humus Reagen.
Humus Reagen?
The name sounded strangely familiar to Erin, as if it had appeared somewhere in her distant mem
But she could not remember who it was no matter how hard she tried.
Holding the box, she returned to her workstation and eagerly sliced open the tape with a box cutter.
The moment she saw what was inside the box, her entire body froze as if struck by lightning!
Potatoes!
The potatoes she was looking for!
A full 20 of them, with the same familiar rough skin and golden color. They were exactly the miracu potatoes she had searched everywhere for but could never find!
Overwhelming joy crashed over her like a tidal wave.
The anxiety, helplessness, and buried fear that had built up over the past several days all turned into burning hot tears that burst out at once.
She could not hold it back anymore. Hugging the box of potatoes tightly, she cried out loud like a chil front of her stunned coworkers.
“Erin? What’s wrong? What happened?” Hearing the noise, her supervisor, Jared, hurried over and aske with concern, “Is there something wrong at home? Do you need to take leave?”
Erin’s sobs cut off.
She suddenly snapped out of the storm of emotions.
Wiping the tears from her face with force, she stood up while holding the box and gave Jared a deep bo Her voice was still shaking. “Thank you, Mr. Whitman! I… I’m fine! I’d like to ask for half a day off. Is that okay?”
Jared looked at her tearful yet smiling face. Although he was puzzled, he still nodded. “Of course. As long as your family’s okay…”
His eyes casually glanced at the box in Erin’s arms.
When he clearly saw what was inside, his words stopped instantly. His eyes widened, and the same excitement that Erin had shown moments earlier appeared on his face!
“Erin! Where did you get these potatoes?” Jared’s voice rose sharply with urgency as he grabbed Erin’s arm, his eyes burning with intensity.
Seeing Jared’s unusual reaction, Erin immediately understood that he must know about the potatoes‘ incredible effects, and might even have experienced them personally!
She did not hide anything and explained directly. “T–They were sent by a friend from Centria Planet.”
