The birth lottery determines Nepo Baby or LAPO Baby once per account. Starting a new life does not reroll the result.
Choose a home and protect the next bill
Rent is processed on Saturday morning. The LAPO loan is collected on its own seven-day cycle, so it need not fall on Saturday. Reserve both upcoming payments.
Mushin keeps the recurring bill lower. Yaba gives more starting cash and more space, but the extra cash does not remove its higher weekly rent.

- Open Phone ? Jobs. Compare the skill, scheduled working days and pay.
- Choose a career and use Apply — start tomorrow.
- On a scheduled working day, look for Go to work. The button appears from 6 AM.
