The name of Travis Lowell from the Novaria Starship Corporation surfaced in Julianna Garland’s mind.
Last time, due to the system reward, Novaria mentioned they had opened a three-year space route to Earth Star.
This route included both starship travel and freight transport.
However, since the day Travis delivered the supplies, Julianna had been far too busy planting to check the Novaria Starship Corporation’s official website.
Now that she planned to send a package, she needed to look up the relevant information.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Julianna immediately logged onto the Interstellar Net and opened the official homepage of the Novaria Starship Corporation.
Once on the site, she searched for “Earth Star.”
The moment she typed in the name, the icon for Earth Star popped up.
It was marked with a blue asterisk—a symbol which, according to the original owner’s memories, designated it as a desolate planet.
Below Earth Star, options for booking starship tickets and logistics transport were prominently displayed.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Julianna clicked into the logistics section and made her selections.
“First Sector—Aeturnum Firm—Cedric Sutton…”
Julianna filled out the address and selected the cargo category.
After she submitted the order, the total fee quickly appeared on the screen: 470 dollars.
This number startled her.
Logistics and transportation on Novus were highly developed, and freight fees between popular planets across The Interstellar were incredibly low.
The cost of sending an individual parcel was usually comparable to what Julianna had paid during her time on Earth.
Yet, sending this tiny package to Cedric Sutton now cost a staggering 470 dollars—an absolute astronomical shipping fee.
However, considering Earth Star was in a remote location and the starship corporation had to make a dedicated trip just to deliver this single package, the price was somewhat justifiable.
Although it pained her to part with the money, Julianna checked her balance: 536 dollars.
It was just enough to cover this shipping fee.
She had already offered to send Cedric a gift last night and couldn’t very well back out now.
Gritting her teeth, Julianna paid the logistics fee.
The moment the payment went through, Travis Lowell of the Novaria Starship Corporation received a notification.
Pulling out his work device, Travis froze for a moment when a “New Order” prompt popped up on the screen.
He tapped it open, revealing a logistics freight order.
Initially, Travis was a bit puzzled.
The Novaria Starship Corporation had a strict division of labor, and his job primarily handled small, customized private itineraries.
Why would a freight logistics order be sent directly to him?
When he took a closer look and saw the shipping fee of 470 dollars, his eyes immediately widened.
Then he looked at the order’s destination: First Sector Aeturnum Firm.
Seeing this, and glancing at the names of the recipient and sender, Travis immediately understood what was going on.
Not too long ago, Novaria Corporation had opened an exclusive space route for Julianna Garland on Earth Star.
Nearly a month had passed since then without Julianna contacting him, and he had temporarily forgotten all about it.
Now that he had received the order, Travis began scheduling the delivery time while feeling a twinge of curiosity.
He didn’t have a bad impression of Julianna.
Having transported her to Earth Star and interacted with her a few times, Travis had a certain understanding of her character.
Although this Ms.
Garland had inherited Earth Star, her clothing and daily necessities suggested her financial situation was far from affluent.
Yet now, she had generously paid such a hefty fee to send a package—marked as weighing under one kilogram—to Lawyer Sutton.
Travis noticed the item was categorized as food-related.
Earth Star was completely barren of resources, while Cedric Sutton was a prominent lawyer living in the First Sector.
What could he possibly not be able to buy?
For Julianna to spend so much money just to send a “food item” to Lawyer Sutton was truly bizarre.
Despite finding it strange, Travis carved out some time in his schedule and sent a message to Julianna, informing her that he would arrive at Earth Star tomorrow at 4:30 PM to pick up the package.
After receiving Travis’s confirmation message, Julianna let out a long sigh of relief.
With the logistics order taken care of, Julianna spent the rest of her time gradually planting soybeans into the soil.
By now, the area surrounding the Earth Star Cabin had completely transformed.
Over the past month or so, she had been continuously clearing land, digging out a considerable expanse of farmland.
Thanks to the irrigation from the diverted spring, the farmland’s soil was moist and ready, just waiting for her to complete tasks and obtain seeds to sow.
After planting the soybeans, based on the growth rate indicated by the system on the first day, Julianna estimated she would be able to harvest them in about three months.
That night, she logged onto the Interstellar Net, but there were no new messages.
Following her clarification the day before that she was “not dead,” everything seemed to have reverted to the time when the original owner received zero public attention.
She searched online for records regarding rice.
The internet was full of information, but the most frequent keywords associated with rice were still: Earth Era, fossils, and extinction.
Julianna stayed online for a while longer, but seeing that no one was talking to her, she logged off and went to sleep.
When she woke up early the next morning, the wheat’s maturity level had already reached 98 percent.
At 3:50 PM, Travis’s message arrived punctually: he would reach the original coordinates on Earth Star in ten minutes.
Upon seeing the message, Julianna immediately picked up her pre-packaged item and headed to the spot where she had first disembarked from the starship, waiting in advance.
A few minutes later, a humming sound accompanied by a sudden gust of wind swept over.
In the distant sky, a small black dot approached at lightning speed.
As it drew near, it materialized into a small starship that slowly began its descent.
When it was about two or three meters above the ground, the starship hovered in mid-air.
The cabin door opened, and shortly after, Travis popped his head out.
Over the rushing air currents churning below, Travis called out a greeting, “Hello, Ms.
Garland.”
As Julianna nodded in response, Travis noticed the box cradled in her arms.
The box’s outer packaging bore the logo for compressed processed food, originating from Novus’s top food manufacturer.
Travis recognized it immediately: this was the very food box Novaria Starship Corporation had purchased as a compensation gift for Julianna last time.
“Ms.
Garland, you’re sending a gift to Lawyer Cedric Sutton?” Travis asked, curious yet restrained.
He had been incredibly curious ever since he saw the logistics info yesterday.
The food packaging box wasn’t large.
Julianna obviously wouldn’t spend an exorbitant 470 dollars to send Cedric a serving of fast food—besides, the box had clearly been opened, indicating it now contained something else entirely.
However, bound by professional courtesy, Travis couldn’t pry too much.
Julianna nodded.
“Since arriving on Earth Star over a month ago, I’ve planted a few things.
I had a bit of a harvest a couple of days ago, so I picked some to send to Lawyer Sutton as a gift.”
Travis smiled.
“I see.
When I was on the starship just now, I did notice the greenery around your cabin.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such fresh and refined greenery.
It’s a shame my work schedule is already packed; otherwise, I really should disembark and take a proper tour.” A look of genuine regret appeared on his face.
Julianna smiled back and lifted the item in her hands.
Travis opened the device on his wrist and tapped it twice.
A HUMMING sound rang out as a palm-sized miniature drone flew out from the cabin and descended beside Julianna.
Eight claw-like appendages extended from the drone, clamping securely around the food box before it slowly ascended back into the air.
