Chapter 76 The First Harvest On The Blue Star
"Can you give me a minute to rearrange myself, I don't want him to see me like this. He will assume that you did something to make me cry."
"Alright." Esong nodded and he left the house. He made sure to close the door behind her so that she could have some privacy.
She used this opportunity to do something on the underworld forum. She bought some red beans, soy beans, black beans and wheat grains. She remembered that she needed fruits so she bought thousands of fresh ones in different varieties quantities and also seeds.
As she wrapping up she recalled Severus mentioning something about a soul attracting stone so she put in a request for one on the forum. This would save her from having to go walking through forests daily just to look for souls.
No shop on the forum sold ready clothes so she bought some cotton seeds.
"Times up." she mumbled to herself.
She covered her red eyes with a pair of shades, placed a buddha statue in the corner of the house, lit some incense and added some fruits. No one would throw a funeral for Maddox, she had to do it herself.
"I hope you find peace." she said to herself.
Scarlet then left the house, she gave the empty inside one last look and then she shut the door. Since she did not need to deliver souls every night now that she had leveled up, she would have time to read about his life and see everything that he left behind.
She saw the two harvesters which had been made in the factory right here on the blue star. They were bigger than the ones she had seen on earth, there gigantic teeth were sweeping through the fields like angry monsters on a mission to destroy.
Some of the oats were flying through the air and being carried away by the wind to further places.
"What kind of armor is that on the governor's eyes?" someone asked.
"Who cares, she looks cool." another person said.
Scarlet heard this and she just smiled, she could have sworn that she heard Justin's voice somewhere in the fields. She sharpened her hearing and heard his little voice singing.
He had to be in one of the two harvesters, his naughty self could not resist wanting to have fun.
She did not need to interfere with his fun, instead, she could promote the oats before harvesting and processing ended. She turned on her bracelet, opened her star net account and started her live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, this is your favorite chef Scarlet broadcasting live from the blue star."
[We have missed you.]
[What are you cooking today?]
[You look so beautiful, what kind or armor is that on your eyes?]
[Where do you get your clothes?]
"I see all of your comments and I am happy. Thank you for calling me beautiful but the things on my eyes are not armor. These are called shades, they help me protect my eyes from the glaring light of the two suns. Today I want to take you on a trip of our blue star because we are officially harvesting our first crops." she squealed happily.
She turned the camera to the fields and showed her online audience the large fields.
[What is that?]
[Is that food?]
[If I want some of that food how can I buy it because I have not had any luck in your lotteries.]
[Please put up more products in your shop, things run out quickly.]
[Turn on your dual viewer we want to see the front and the back.]
She looked at the bracelet for the dual viewer, it was in the settings area and she turned it on. Now the audience could see her and the fields at the same time.
[Just buy a drone if you are going to do a large scope live broadcast, I recommend the drones from Varakas star company technology.]
That company name made her pause, Maddox was called Varakas. Was this a coincidence or was Varakas a common name on the Sunstar?
"Huh." she said.
[I hear singing, who is singing?]
"The singing voices are from the children of our blue star, they like to sing songs when we are harvesting or planting crops in the field. Aren't their little voices so sweet?"
She took them around the field and showed them the harvesters even taking time to explain how harvesters worked.
"The harvesters were made right here on the blue star our plan is to be as self sufficient as possible."
[Can the harvester be driven like a normal car?]
[Can it be used in a mecha fight?]
[It has really big teeth, I want to drive one. How much do you sell the harvesters for?]
The audience was not the only ones that where fascinated, Esong, Markay, Folsom and Cedric were all lined up waiting for a chance to drive a harvester.
People had come to watch as if this was an organized mecha fight, some of them were even cheering.
She could not understand what they found fascinating about a large rice harvester when they lived in a world with mechas and flying cars.
One of the harvesters filled up and someone from the farming team approached her.
"Governor, what are we going to do with the oats in the back."
"Bring those very large vats in the factory that were supposed to store the rice and use them to store the oats.
She looked at the audience and said, "I will take you to have a closer look at the oats"
While she did that Esong finally got a turn at the harvester and he drove like a mad man, just running it through the fields with no coordination.
The harvester passed by the spot where she was standing and Esong's face was clearly seen on the screen eliciting excitement from her viewers.
[If my eyes are not deceiving me that's the mecha king.]
[Is that the mecha king?]
[It's General Esong, he is on the blue star?]
[Why is the general on the blue star?]
