How to Play the Heterocycle City System: An Introduction to Heterocycle City Gameplay

How to play in the Anomalous City? There is a rather unique gameplay in this game, which is the city gameplay. The gameplay within this system is quite interesting and rich, but many friends have not participated in the testing, so they are not very familiar with it. Next, I will explain in detail how to play the city. After this summary, I believe friends will be able to smoothly get started with this system.

I. Anomaly Missions

Zoom the map out to the minimum, and you can see a triangular icon, which represents an interactive tower. After interacting with it, a large area of the map will be illuminated. Click on the icon and select Anomaly Mission to take on these large missions as shown in the picture. Currently, there are 15 mission tasks available. After choosing one of the tasks and clicking Track Anomaly, a red area will appear on the map. When the character reaches this area, the anomaly will be triggered, and there will be relevant prompts after entering the area.

For example, in the Rooftop Boxing King mission, interacting and talking with the NPC will trigger a combat scene. Defeating this NPC will earn some rewards; another example is the racing mission, where you need to engage in a pursuit race with the NPC, followed by a boss battle. These missions are not all about combat; some may involve puzzle-solving. Each task is different, but they are all quite fun.

II. Collection

While exploring the map, you will encounter some random monsters and also see some treasure chests. Defeat the monsters near the chest to obtain the rewards inside. This is the only way to get treasure chests in the game. Some monsters are clearly visible and ready for combat, but others do not have any prompts, possibly appearing in a red scene that needs to be triggered by entering the scene. There are also red crows on the map. Interact with the red crow to obtain a resource called "Oracle Stone." Give this Oracle Stone to the Hat NPC, choose "Proclamation" in the interaction, and then submit the item to receive some rewards. You can also choose to check your daily fortune here, once a day, and get some buff-like bonuses.

III. Shop Management

You can go to the real estate agency and interact to choose to buy some shops. These shops are located in different parts of the city, with varying foot traffic and prices. Initially, you can open a coffee shop called "One Cafe," and more options will be available later.

Enter the coffee shop and go to the counter. Click on the counter management to list various products in your coffee shop. You can also hire some of the characters you own as staff. Additionally, you can develop new products for sale on the menu page. Some existing coffee types can be upgraded to increase their selling price. Each product requires raw materials, which can be purchased from convenience stores, markets, or butcher shops. After placing the raw materials in the shop, you just need to settle the profits regularly to earn in-game currency, known as "Fangs."

IV. Housing System

This can be understood as the home gameplay in the city. Go to the real estate agency and interact with the property salesperson. You can choose to view houses. Initially, there are two properties for sale: the higher-end Eden Apartment, which is relatively expensive at 7.2 million, and the Vena Apartment, which is slightly more remote but cheaper at 1.58 million.

Upon entering the relatively cheaper apartment, take the elevator to the 5th floor. Once you reach the floor and enter the house, you can see the full layout. Initially, the house is quite empty, and items like sofas, plants, and tables need to be purchased. After buying these items, you can decorate the interior, placing them where you want. The second floor has a bedroom and a bathroom. The 7.2 million home is generally more upscale, even featuring a sightseeing elevator and equipped with a butler and receptionist, providing excellent service.

For now, I will introduce this much about the gameplay in the Anomalous City. Is the city gameplay very enjoyable? Compared to daily combat, the city gameplay is much more relaxing. When you feel tired from fighting, the various activities in the city can provide a leisurely and relaxing experience. Building a cozy home is also very rewarding.
