Julia’s words left Peachy Keen momentarily stunned.
“You can help me?” Peachy Keen was in disbelief.
She had initially gone to Julia to vent.
The two of them had become friends out of mutual misery when they were both job-hunting earlier on, so it had never crossed her mind that Julia could actually help her.
As Peachy Keen stared blankly, Julia explained, “I mentioned to you last time that an elder left me an inheritance.
I haven’t been on the Interstellar Net recently because I’ve been busy sorting it out.”
“Right, you did mention that.
You’re currently a planter,” Peachy Keen muttered, her tone still a bit dazed.
“A planter?” Julia paused.
“Well, yes.
I am indeed doing planting-related work right now.
I’ve actually achieved some results that happen to align with your job.
If you need it, I can compile my progress into a video and send it to you in half a month to see if you can use it.”
“Really?!” Peachy Keen hadn’t expected her venting session to yield a genuine opportunity.
Although she was skeptical about whether Julia’s materials would be useful, she had nothing to lose.
Most of her former classmates had entered the entertainment industry just like her, which had absolutely nothing to do with agriculture.
Only this friend, whom she had met during her job hunt, was now a planter.
Perhaps there was a glimmer of hope.
“Yes,” Julia nodded.
“About these materials…” Peachy Keen’s tone suddenly grew awkward.
Julia had offered to help her of her own accord, but Peachy Keen worked for the satellite channel, which broadcasted to the entire Novus Sector.
Even though the agricultural channel had always had a small audience, it still retained a group of loyal hardcore fans, including several industry experts.
Therefore, the news that aired on the satellite channel had to meet strict standards.
First was authenticity, and second was copyright ownership.
Although it was difficult to bring up, Peachy Keen still asked in a professional manner, “Jul—Julia, can you guarantee that the materials you mentioned—”
After voicing her concern, she quickly added, “I’m not doubting you!
It’s just…
it’s standard procedure—”
“It’s authentic,” Julia nodded.
“I prepared all of this myself, and I will record it personally.
However, I don’t have professional equipment, so I’ll only be using my communicator.
The footage might not be in high definition. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“Moreover, the recorded content is entirely my own project, so there will be no copyright disputes.”
With the two main, crucial issues cleared up, Peachy Keen felt both guilty and thrilled.
“That’s wonderful, Julia!
If the video turns out to be usable, you’ll have done me a massive favor.
You’re my absolute lifesaver!”
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
Given the tight timeline, they agreed to meet on the Interstellar Net in fifteen days.
At that time, Julia would transfer the relevant materials and videos to Peachy Keen for her channel debut in seventeen days.
After finishing their conversation, they ended the call, both of them swept up in excitement.
On the other end of the line, Peachy Keen sat blankly in her home on the Interstellar Net.
She was in her twenties and had a very adorable appearance, yet her personal space on the Interstellar Net was decorated in a rather minimalist style that didn’t quite match her looks.
After a long while, she suddenly let out a laugh.
“This is fantastic!”
However, even though Julia’s appearance had provided her with a solution, Peachy Keen didn’t dare completely bet her future solely on her friend before things were certain.
Still, chatting with her friend online tonight, receiving encouragement, and seeing a ray of hope had given her a fresh burst of motivation for her work.
As a result, she actively began searching for agriculture-related information online, frantically cramming knowledge in preparation for her rotational internship in half a month.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Interstellar Net, this arrangement was a win-win situation for Julia.
She had been worrying about how to complete the system’s fifth task, and this was like a godsend.
When she eventually sent the recorded rice video to Peachy Keen, helping her friend would only be a secondary benefit.
The main focus was using this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to announce to the human world the return of rice, which had once held a dominant position as a staple food on Earth.
As long as Peachy Keen used her video materials, anyone who knew their stuff would immediately understand the significance of the footage the moment the rice was revealed.
Completing the system task would naturally be a breeze.
But even if Peachy Keen ended up not using the video, it wouldn’t matter.
Julia would simply stick to her original plan and gradually spread the footage online herself.
True quality would speak for itself; completing the task was only a matter of time.
For the rest of her time online, she scrolled through her other messages.
Among them, government staff from her original residence had sent her schedules for state-organized training sessions and skills classes, along with some job recruitment brochures.
She ignored various advertisements, such as the spam messages offering spaceship tickets and freight discounts sent by Travis Lowell of the Novaria Starship Corporation.
She dropped a quick message in her old class group chat to prove she wasn’t dead. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
She lingered on the Astral Domain Net for a while longer, checking the latest current events and browsing through various forums.
During this time, she thought about her plan to develop Earth Star.
With a mindset akin to sizing up business competition, she anxiously searched for information on related planets.
After finally confirming once again that her rice and wheat seeds hadn’t appeared in over a thousand years—guaranteeing she had no competitors—she logged off the Astral Domain Net, completely satisfied.
A night passed.
The first thing Julia did when she opened her eyes was check the maturity of the wheat.
The wheat had been planted right around the same time as the rice, so both had benefited from the buff of her “Planting Master” title.
It was now approaching maturity.
Julia blinked, and information regarding the wheat Mannings appeared in her mind.
It displayed: Maturity at 97%.
Even without the “Planting Master” title, harvesting was only a few days away.
Once the wheat was harvested, it would mean the task of planting wheat was complete, and she would receive a lucky bag as a reward from the system.
Thinking of this, Julia felt a bit curious about what form the system’s lucky bag reward would take when it was delivered to her hands.
However, that curiosity was fleeting.
She had a lot of things to do at the moment.
Today, aside from continuing to till the land and planting the soybean seeds she had obtained yesterday, she also planned to package the rice she harvested as a gift and mail it to Cedric Sutton.
Tilling and planting weren’t pressing matters, so Julia intended to handle the gift first.
She recalled that Lawyer Sutton had said the thought behind the gift mattered more than its practical value.
From this harvest, she had set aside a portion of the unhusked rice seeds for replanting.
The actual amount of rice she obtained after husking was only seventy pounds.
And she needed to make those seventy pounds of rice last until the next harvest.
Without the protection of the “Planting Master” title, the rice would take longer to mature.
Fortunately, the wheat she planted was about to be harvested, which alleviated her crisis of running out of food.
Given her food shortage, and since Cedric Sutton himself had proactively mentioned that he didn’t need a large gift as long as the sentiment was there, she thought for a moment before taking out an empty instant food packaging box and filling it with one pound of rice.
After packing the box securely, all that was left was to contact a courier.
