In Cryptonoria, nature has its place under biodiversity cloches in order to preserve certain species of plants and animals.
Outside the city, there is nothing but desert as far as the eye can see, all because of past wars and conflicts.
The resources produced by certain specimens have become very scarce, and a trade in the form of NFTs has quickly emerged to show who owns such luxury resources and to control them.
The corpos and the upper echelons are snapping them up like hotcakes, speculation being the main driver for them beyond the delicacies that can be produced.
The employees who look after the specimens and their cloches are sorted on the fly to prevent smuggling of seeds and exotic fruits, which are sold at a premium on the black market.
