Aida Café – Version 1.5 Series of Events

The first event starting for the series of events planned for Version 1.5 is going to be Aida Café. The event period is listed from 15th September 2022 to 29th September 2022. Players who have unlocked Rewards and are above Level 17 are allowed to enter the event. Here are some key takeaways to note for the event:

• The Aida Café event is a daily event where players serve lunch to 3 random customers that come and eat at the café.

• Players can serve each of the customers 5 different dishes – soup, main course, side course, dessert, and drinks. Players need to satisfy their customers in order to earn rewards for the event. The requirement of making them go away is to serve only 1 course but that will leave them unsatisfied if the course and dish are not according to their choice.

• Players will be told themselves by the customers by chatting with them and listening to what they have to say. Accordingly, the player will have to serve them each dish. According to their satisfaction, the customer will pay you and you will earn your revenue.

• Players will be rewarded with Red Nucleus and Event title after their overall Revenue reaches a certain point.
