Of an entire piece of fruit, only a thumb-sized bit of flesh was eaten. The rest was trash.
Ye Buyu felt as though she had just scrolled through a video.

Take a piece of fruit apart, charge eight hundred and eighty for a thumb-sized portion. Slick.
Ye Buyu found this rather interesting and tapped the next seed in line. She kept feeling that the [Seedling Eater] was playing short videos for her.

But not long afterward, a ship discovered this place by chance.
Then the planet introduced all sorts of technologies, cleared large amounts of farmland, and
