Chapter 256 The Line Gets Longer
At noon, Mercury Plaza.
The sun was high, shining over the crowded plaza.
The line at Elizabeth’s stall wasn’t getting any shorter; if anything, with all the new faces joining in, it was stretching even further, winding almost all the way to the fountain on the other side of the plaza.
Even though she’d brought several times more stock than usual, she was still out there selling.
But there were also more customers than ever before.
On top of her usual loyal regulars, there were a ton of newcomers who’d been drawn in by the buzz on Starnet.
They all had different reasons for being there.
For example, Rhett Loward is a keyboard warrior. He was a young man with black–framed glasses and a pale face, standing in the middle of the line. His fingers were flying across his holographic screen as he crolled through posts blasting the so–called “soil–grown poison vegetables.” Sometimes, he would smirk. ike he silently agreed.
He was only there to see the scam for himself. If he could get some proof, he even planned to write a harsher exposé and milk it for views.
A few other guys nearby, with their shifty eyes and hushed whispering, were clearly in the same boat
Some people just came to watch the show, curious to see if something grown in soil was actually edible

Most people, though, were just curious passersby. Like Willy Levine, a programmer.
His coworkers kept recommending it, and Starnet kept pushing it to him, so he stopped by during lu to take a look.
He was a practical guy who didn’t care about online drama. He had just heard the stuff might help wit mental fatigue from long hours of coding. So, he joined the back of the line with an energy drink. thinking, I’ll try it. If it doesn’t work, at least I have some fruit.
The line moved slowly. The air was filled with the sound of people gossiping, questioning, and wonde
The regular customers, especially those who had already bought something and stayed behind Elizab stall to show their support, took it all in.
Wallace and Matilda exchanged a look.
Then each of them picked up some strawberries.
Matilda cleared her throat, walked up beside the line, and smiled at the new faces.
“First time here, right? You’re already waiting anyway. Come, try this! These are Ms. Schofield’s strawberries–just picked, super fresh! No charge, just so you can taste them!” she said loudly.
