Time in the City

The **Time in the City**, also known as the **City Man**, is the third Event that the player can participate in. It is unlocked after completing task GS-13. The City Event's full completion is required to unlock the rest of the Guest Suite area for renovation.

To play the City Event for the first time, some  Paint (L4) is required. After that, the required item rotates between a  Pink Butterfly (L4), a  Dustpan (L6) and a  Vase (L5) to open the event again for any further future runs.

The City Event contains several exclusive items that can only be found in it. These are the  Building, the  Get Ready for the Party!, the  Date Nights, the  Mailbox, the  Fancy Suitcase,  His Shoes,  Her Shoes, the  Way to You and the  Letter.

The Time in the City event used to be a popular method of farming Energy alongside the Secret of the Fortress event, but as of version 1.1.95, energy farming no longer works on this event.

**Friend** Tell me you're coming to this party. Celebrities will be there!

**Sunny** What are you talking about?!
my
**Friend** I knew it!

**Friend** There will be a masquerade ball tonight in the city!

**Sunny** You know I'm not a party person...

**Friend** You can thank me later. Bye!!

**Sunny** What?!

**Sunny** ...She's already gone......

**Sunny** Hmm... What should I do?

**Sunny** I shouldn't leave this fancy outfit unused though...

**Sunny** Maybe just give it a try?

**Neil** Hmm, the people, the building... Long time no see.

**Neil** I can finally chill out for a while.

**Sunny** Urgh, heels are so uncomfortable!!

**Sunny** I'll take TONS of photos if I really see a celebrity!

**Sunny** ...YIKES!!!

**Sunny** Ouch......

**Neil** Are you okay?

**Sunny** Huh?

**Sunny** Just a broken high heel, haha.

**Sunny** This is embarrassing.

**Neil** Let me help you stand up.

**Neil** I happen to have a pair of heels. Would you exchange them for your old ones?

**Sunny** Exchange?!

**Neil** Yes!

**Sunny** Er... Tha...thank you!

**Sunny** Wow, these fit perfectly!

**Sunny** Thank you so much!

**Sunny** Have a great time!

**Neil** ...Is she already gone?! Haha...

**Anonymous Woman** Hey! What were you doing with my shoes?

**Neil** How about these? You'll look much better.

**Anonymous Woman** It was a limited edition!! You better get them back later!

**Anonymous Woman** ...Ahh!!!

**Neil** Oh... Are you okay? Hope you get well soon! Goodbye!

**Sunny** This is so much fun!

**Sunny** Who said I'm not a party person?

**Sunny** ...and I notice some super famous people!!

**Sunny** Whoa... I don't dare to even approach them!

**Sunny** ......Huh?!

**Neil** Gotcha!

**Neil** I've been searching for you.

**Sunny** For me? Oh... I shouldn't have just vanished.

**Neil** Haha, that's right. I wanted to be with you tonight.

**Neil** That's why I got you those heels.

**Neil** I'm not feeling this party.

**Neil** How about one with just the two of us?

**Sunny** Just the two of us..?

**Sunny** That sounds fun!

**Crowd** Ariana Venti!!! I love you!!!!

**Sunny** Urgh!!! Excuse meeee!!

**Sunny** Ugh, will he be okay swept away by the crowd?

**Sunny** My feet hurt so much, too...

**Sunny** Even high fashion can't solve the toe pain problem.

**Sunny** I'll go back to the hotel.

**Sunny** ......And now it's raining?! Seriously??

**Sunny** The best day ever became the worst in a second.

**Sunny** ......

**Sunny** Huh? men's shoes?

**Neil** What, are my shoes scuffed? What's so interesting on the floor?

**Sunny** Gosh!!!

**Neil** You're not so timid, are you?

**Sunny** ...Definitely not!

**Neil** I keep bumping into you. We don't seem to be just two ships passing in the night...

**Neil** In that case... my offer still stands. Party with just the two of us?

**Sunny** I like your taste in music.

**Sunny** I would've danced to it if there was no one here.

**Neil** The best part of the city is that we can hide in the crowd.

**Sunny** Haha, but sharing earphones still stop me from dancing!

**Neil** I'll show you it's actually possible!

**Sunny** Haha!!

**Sunny** By the way... What's your name?

**Neil** I am......

**Neil** I'm just me.

**Sunny** What?!

**Neil** Aren't we happy right now?

**Neil** No matter who we are or what we've done.

**Neil** I don't want to ruin the moment.

**Neil** How about we just free ourselves for once?

**Sunny** Hmm... Sounds fun.

**Sunny** And I know a game perfect for this.

**Sunny** Are you in?

**Sunny** It's... The Show Your Stuff game!!

**Sunny** Show everything you have, except your phone and wallet.

**Sunny** We can learn about each other in a fun way!

**Neil** I knew that you were my kind of person. Sounds like so much fun!

**Neil** Only that... I don't have much to show you.

**Neil** But I promise I'll take out everything I have on me.

**Sunny** Hmm... It seems unfair, but okay!

**Sunny** You should take out literally everything!!

**Neil** A wallet and a phone and perfume... Are these all?

**Neil** Anyway, we both use the same perfume!

**Sunny** Really?! Right! This perfume fits well with everyone.

**Sunny** ...says the commercial. Haha!

**Sunny** Your turn!

**Neil** All I have is a car key.

**Sunny** (Gosh... Isn't that a fancy car brand?)

**Neil** I promised you to show everything on me, so I'll show you my secret.

**Sunny** ...a ten-dollar bill under the insole?!

**Neil** You didn't expect that coming, did you?

**Neil** Don't worry. It doesn't smell.

**Neil** It's just a little habit of mine since I was a kid.

**Sunny** I want to hear more about this!

**Neil** Anyway, is your foot okay?

**Sunny** Oh... It hurts... a lot, actually.

**Neil** It's my bad. I should've noticed sooner.

**Sunny** But I made it to the party thanks to these heels!

**Neil** Would you like to come over to my hotel room? Rest your legs for a while.

**Neil** I want to repay you for such a fun night.

**Sunny** I'm in! I hope you have spare shoes.

**Sunny** Traffic jams seem to be endless in this city.

**Neil** Are you bored? I got a small gift for you, it might ease the monotony.

**Neil** Close your eyes for a second?

**Sunny** Huh? Okay...

**Sunny** ......Hmm?

**Sunny** ...Roses!!!

**Sunny** Aww, thank you so much! The petals are so soft.

**Neil** Your happiness makes me happy, too.

**Neil** ...Is it okay if I kiss you right now?

**Sunny** ......!

**Sunny** ......

**Sunny** ...your lips are really soft! Haha...

**Neil** Haha, you're blushing!

**Sunny** So are you.

**Neil** Am I? I'm glad that we feel the same way.

**Neil** Ah, we're here. Welcome! This place is like a home to me.

**Sunny** Wow!

**Sunny** I can see the whole city up here!

**Sunny** I'm going to take a picture.

**Neil** I'm glad you like it.

**Sunny** ...but what do you mean that this is like a home to you?

**Neil** Actually... this IS my home.

**Sunny** What?!

**Neil** To be precise, I live in hotels.

**Sunny** Then you're ...a travel blogger?!?!

**Neil** Haha, let's not ask such questions today.

**Sunny** I have a ton of questions, but we can talk about something more fundamental...

**Sunny** Pizza or hamburger?

**Neil** Haha!

**Sunny** By the way, the layout is beautiful. I love the details.

**Neil** Actually, I majored in interior design.

**Sunny** Really? I majored in architecture!

**Neil** Wow, we're almost in the same field.

**Sunny** I'm exhausted, but I could talk all night with you.

**Neil** Haha, really? I lost track of time talking with you, too.

**Sunny** How can we get along this well?

**Sunny** ...We should've met... earlie...r......Zzz....

**Neil** ...What a cute, innocent sleeping beauty......

**Sunny** ......

**Sunny**  !!!!!!

**Sunny** Gosh... Did I sleep here last night??

**Sunny** Why is nobody here? Did he leave...?

**Sunny** ...a gift box?

**Sunny** These are shoes... and a letter!

**Letter from him** Good morning.

**Letter from him** It's going to rain today. Wear these shoes and take my umbrella.

**Letter from him** I had an unforgettable time yesterday. Call me later. Here's my number.

**Letter from him** From, Neil

**Sunny** Neil...... Neil!

**Neil** A number I don't recognize...

**Neil** Could it be..?

**Sunny** Neil!

**Neil** You did call me!

**Sunny** You're not the only one who had an unforgettable time.

**Neil** I didn't expect you to call.

**Neil** City people tend to come and go.

**Sunny** Luckily, I'm not from the city.

**Neil** Haha, I'm a lucky man.

**Neil** May I take you out tonight? I know a perfect place.

**Sunny** Where is it?

**Sunny** This is DELICIOUS!

**Neil** I knew you'd love it.

**Sunny** The very first restaurant I came to in this city turned out to be the best one!

**Neil** This is your first one? You still have a lot to experience!

**Neil** I'll show you everything.

**Sunny** There's so much to see!!

**Neil** Galleries are the gems of the city.

**Sunny** I'm having so much fun!

**Sunny** Oh, please excuse me. I'm getting a phone call.

**Friend** Hey Sun! Let me guess. Sunbathing at the Caribbean beach?

**Sunny** Actually... I canceled everything to stay here in the city.

**Friend** What?! And don't tell me you missed that party.

**Friend** Ariana Venti was there!!

**Sunny** I didn't! Actually, I met someone there.... And I've seen him every day since.

**Friend** For real?!

**Friend** I'm so proud of you!! Don't be nervous and you do you, hon!

**Sunny** Haha, thank you!

**Sunny** It's my first time riding a chopper!

**Sunny** Cooler than the yacht we rode yesterday.

**Neil** Isn't the view better than from the penthouse?

**Sunny** It is! ...and my name is Sunny.

**Sunny** Should've told you earlier.

**Neil** Haha, any name's fine if it's yours.

**Neil** ...and I have something crazy to ask...

**Neil** I never hesitate in front of an opportunity.

**Neil** ...and I think you are the opportunity of my life.

**Neil** Will you marry me?

**Sunny** What?!

**Sunny** That doesn't sound crazy!!

**Sunny** Yes!! I'll marry you, Neil!

**Sunny** I feel like I'm in a movie!

**Sunny** ...and the ring is beautiful.

**Neil** We're now in a relationship that overcomes and embraces any pain.

**Sunny** Embrace the pain... Unique, yet romantic.

**Sunny** In that sense, why don't we tell each other a secret?

**Neil** Do you remember that 10 dollar bill inside my shoes?

**Sunny** Sure!

**Neil** I was once kidnapped as a kid. Luckily I escaped, but with nothing.

**Neil** All I needed was a little money to get home, but I had none.

**Sunny** I'm so sorry... So that's why you started to carry shoe money?

**Neil** But I have you by my side. It's time to break this silly habit.

**Sunny** To lighten the mood, I'll tell you a fun secret!

**Sunny** I use the same password for every single thing!

**Neil** Haha, do you? Let me guess. Your birthday?

**Sunny** Nice try, but no.

**Sunny** It's 'password123'.

**Neil** What? Hahah!

**Sunny** You make me feel so comfortable.

**Neil** Our life together will be wonderful.

**Neil** Falling asleep while talking like always...

**Neil** ...I love you.

**Sunny** ...!!

**Sunny** Even the fact that we're engaged can't stop me from feeling shy.

**Sunny** I love you, Neil!

**Sunny** I'll be by your side forever.

**Sunny** ......Good morning!

**Sunny** ...he's not here again.

**Sunny** What kind of surprise has he prepared this time?

**Sunny** ...What an exceptional job hiding it..!!

**Notification** (phone rings)

**Sunny** ...Hmm?

**New Message** [Withdrawal Request] $5,000

**New Message** [Withdrawal Request] $5,000

**New Message** ......

**Sunny** ...Wow, that's a huge withdrawal.

**Sunny** ......What?!?!

**Officer James** I'm sorry. There's no progress in the investigation yet.

**Officer James** There's a high possibility of him running away. If he calls back, please do let me know.

**Sunny** Yes, officer... Thank you...

**Sunny** Ugh... Should I call grandma?

**Sunny** Nonsense. I wanted to be independent, after all.

**Sunny** Grandma's help will only mean that I'm still a weak little girl.

**Sunny** The rain makes me even more depressed.

**Sunny** I want to leave this city as soon as possible...

**Sunny** ......? Is that..?

**Sunny** Hey Neil!! HEY!!!

**Sunny** ...who's that girl..?

**Sunny** She's wearing the heels Neil gave me at the party.

**Sunny** Was it just a part of some scheme..?

**Sunny** ......Right. It was too good to be real. Can't handle this anymore.

**Sunny** Grandma... Help!!

**Neil** I finally have this money in cash.

**Neil** She'll definitely call me back tomorrow, won't she?

**Neil** Will she solve the puzzle I left her...?

**Neil** ...Not a call for 15 days?

**Neil** Alright. She was no different from those other girls.

**Secretary** ...Sir! Are you there?

**Neil** What's that fuss about?

**Secretary** There were letters in the lobby. A staff mistakenly forgot to deliver them.

**Neil** Letters?

**Neil** She wrote a letter every single day we met.

**Neil** Yeah, I can't deny the feelings we shared.

**News Anchor** ...next news. The granddaughter of the CEO of the nation's most prominent cosmetic brand...

**Neil** .....What?

**Neil** Why is Sunny in the news?

**News Anchor** The whereabouts of the scammer are unknown, and...

**Neil** Hmm... the nation's most prominent cosmetic brand?

**Neil** A cute romantic AND an heir... sounds like a lot of fun.

**Neil** Alright. Time to stop torturing myself. I need to see her!

## Tasks

**Note:** Due to the game's constant updates, the tasks on this page may not always be accurate. If you have any new information, feel free to go to the "Time in the City/Tasks" page and edit accordingly.

## Strategy

* When submitting  Dress (L2) or merging to  Mask (L3) items for tasks, it is generally advised to tap the Dress 16 times first. This is important to maximise the total  Eau de Toilette (L2) gained as you will need to produce lots of items in this chain throughout the event.
* Fancy Suitcases are gained frequently as a reward for completing tasks. These are more energy efficient than the Buildings due to their ability to drop not only His Shoes and Her Shoes, but also  Tuxedo (L1),  Dress (L2) and  Umbrella (L1).
* Towards the end of the event, a task requires you to submit a  Bed (L11). Before handing this in, it is recommended to produce the  Train (L7),  Plane ticket (L11), and  Airplane (L12) required for later tasks. This avoids having to spend even more time remaking the Date Nights generators.

## Energy Farming

Energy farming is a strategy which allows the user to produce additional energy at a rate faster than the usual recharge speed. This typically averages 200-300 Energy every 2h 20min, dependant on the levels and number of generators on the board.

* The first step is to clear the board as much as possible. It is advisable to reach 70% event completion as you do this, which can be done in as little as 30 minutes and will net 7100 Coins, 112 Jewels and 380 Energy. See *Strategy* above for general advice for completing the event.
	+ Instead of waiting 5 hours for the Mailbox to drop Letters, they can be gained instead by leaving a Phone or Suitcase on the board for 10 minutes.
	+ You should also ensure you still have at least one of the Date Nights generators at this point, ideally the  Bed (L11). You can now sell everything apart from this and any items from the Way to You chain.
* You should now focus on using the  Bed (L11) or equivalent generators to produce  Motorcycle (L4) or higher levels. See the page Way to You for exact details about item generation speeds from each level.
	+ You should be able to keep at least 43 vehicles on the board along with the  Bed (L11), the cobwebbed  Helicopter (L10) and  Plane ticket (L11), the unsellable Mailbox and two Buildings, and 7 empty spots for energy to generate in.
	+ This can be increased to 50 vehicles if using the queue to store the fully generated vehicles below the board for merging, replacing them again to empty those. This can produce just over 300 Energy.
	+ Once the board has been filled with vehicles, you should continue to use the automatic  Map (L1) and  Compass (L2) drops from the  Bed (L11) to upgrade them. This will allow you to merge with the cobwebbed vehicles at the end of the event to produce a  Airplane (L12), earning 1230 Coins.
	+ After the event finishes, you can extend it a total of 5 times for free by watching advertisements. This can be done every 2 hours to acheive 5 full additional batches of Energy.
