  "textContent": "Reaching City Tycoon Level 4 in Neverness to Everness is the gate that opens The Cafe by Origen, the passive Fons engine that funds nearly everything else in Hethereau. The level itself has a single hard requirement and a fixed Fons threshold, so the path is short if you know exactly what counts.\n\n⚡\n\nQuick answer: Spend a cumulative total of 10 City Stamina and reach 200,200 lifetime Fons. The level then unlocks The Cafe by Origen and pays out 20 Annulith, 300 Hunter EXP, 4 Expansion Cores, and 5,000 Beetle Coins.\n\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@ThanhPlays)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Requirements for Tycoon Level 4\n\nTwo conditions must both be satisfied before the level ticks over. The Fons figure is cumulative lifetime earnings, not your current wallet balance, so spending money on cars, apartments, or the garage does not set you back.\n\nRequirement| Value\n---|---\nLifetime Fons earned| 200,200\nCity Stamina spent (cumulative)| 10\nPrerequisite level| City Tycoon Level 3\n\nCity Stamina is the weekly currency tied to Hethereau Hobbies. It refills at the weekly reset rather than over time, and the cap starts at 100 at Tycoon Level 1. Spending 10 of it is trivial in practice because nearly every hobby consumes stamina at roughly 1 point per 1,000 Fons earned.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to hit the 10 City Stamina target\n\nAny Hethereau Hobby that consumes City Stamina contributes to the cumulative count. You do not need to spend it in a single sitting, and you do not need to use a specific activity. The fastest options available by Level 3 are races and Sea Angler fishing, both unlocked through the prior tycoon levels.\n\n**Step 1:** Open the City Tycoon menu and head to Hethereau Hobbies. Pick Races if you want permanent stage rewards alongside the stamina drain, or Sea Angler if you prefer fishing.\n\n**Step 2:** Run activities until your spent stamina counter reaches 10. A single race or a short fishing session is usually enough, since each attempt costs several points.\n\n**Step 3:** Check the Tycoon Level 4 target panel. The stamina objective should show as complete with a green checkmark.\n\nOpen the City Tycoon menu and head to Hethereau Hobbies | Image credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@ThanhPlays)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How to reach 200,200 Fons\n\nFons accumulate from almost every City Tycoon activity. The total counts everything you have ever earned, including money already spent on the four-wheeled vehicle required for Level 3. Most players cross the threshold naturally while completing earlier objectives, but if you are short, a few activities accelerate the gap.\n\nActivity| Why it helps\n---|---\nRaces| Permanent stage-clear rewards plus per-attempt Fons.\nSea Angler| Steady Fons per session, scales with rod and bait.\nCity Delivery| High Fons per stamina point if you want to burn through fast.\nStory and side quests| Mission rewards count toward lifetime Fons.\n\n****Note:**** spending Fons on apartments, vehicles, or garage upgrades does not reduce the lifetime total tracked for tycoon progression.\n\nFons accumulate from almost every City Tycoon activity | Image credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@ThanhPlays)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Rewards for clearing Level 4\n\nThe payout is fixed and lands in your mailbox or claim panel as soon as both targets are met.\n\nReward| Amount\n---|---\nAnnulith| 20\nHunter EXP| 300\nExpansion Core| 4\nBeetle Coin| 5,000\n\nThe Annulith feeds directly into the Scarborough Fair gacha banners, while Expansion Cores are used for character or gear progression materials. Hunter EXP contributes to your account-wide Hunter Level, which raises Appraisal Level caps and unlocks higher Esper level ceilings.\n\nImage credit: __Perfect World Games (via YouTube/@ThanhPlays)__\n\n* * *\n\n### What unlocks at Level 4\n\nThe single feature that opens at this level is The Cafe by Origen, the cafe management system. It is the most important passive Fons source in the game and the reason most players treat Level 4 as the early-game finish line.\n\nOnce unlocked, the cafe lets you assign characters as employees, restock menu items on 24-hour or 72-hour cycles, and collect revenue on login. Each character brings a unique management bonus, and decorating the cafe raises popularity, which multiplies sales.\n\n☕\n\nSet up the cafe immediately after unlocking it. Restock on the 24-hour timer so you can swap to higher-priced recipes as they unlock the next day, and assign two employees before logging out for the first overnight payout.\n\n* * *\n\n### How to confirm the unlock worked\n\nThe City Tycoon menu will show your rank as Level 4 with a new entry for The Cafe by Origen in the activities list. A tutorial quest called Coffee Curator becomes available, which doubles as the requirement for reaching Level 5. The reward mail also arrives at the same moment, so an empty mailbox after meeting both targets means one of the two conditions has not actually been satisfied yet.\n\nIf progress stalls, the usual cause is the stamina target rather than Fons. Activities that pay out Fons without consuming City Stamina, such as the Pink Paws Heist at higher levels or story rewards, do not advance the stamina counter. Only Hethereau Hobbies that deduct City Stamina from your weekly pool count toward the 10-point requirement.",
