Begin with job shifts or a transfer
Characters start with ¥0. Two sources are listed: completing a job shift using the Phone Jobs app, or receiving money from another player through the Bank app. Kinryu Ramen sells four-hour world blocks — about 12 real minutes — with two Chef and two Server seats and six blocks in a world day. The Jobs app shows figures around ¥600 for Chef and ¥450 for Server, but most of the wage is paid for work actually done, not for clocking in and standing still.
Decide whether you are saving or exploring
Yen buys drinks at vending machines and food from restaurants or order machines. Interact using E, X, Square or a tap, depending on your device. Read the purchase menu for the current price. For exploration, a free bike gives you transport without using the Yen you are saving.
A plushie attempt is a consumable budget choice
The claw costs ¥1,000 per attempt. The published table is restock occupancy — how full a cabinet typically is — not the chance you win a given rarity on one grab. The prize list is unpublished. Carried plushies drop on death and can be lost after two minutes on the ground. Set an attempt limit before spending, especially if you are saving for a family.
Family creation is a larger goal
Founding a family now costs ¥250,000. Renaming costs ¥100,000, each extra member slot costs ¥10,000, families start with 10 seats and the maximum is 50. Filling 10 to 50 therefore costs ¥400,000 in slot fees on top of founding. That is a long-term crew project, not a first-week purchase. Family rank is also separate from Respect and Fear titles.
