GUIDE
NTE City Tycoon guide: levels, rewards and free Chiz
City Tycoon is NTE’s life-sim progression: it ties together houses, cars, the café, hobbies and the Hunter Exchange. Levelling it is how you get the free S-Class Chiz.
How to level City Tycoon
Each level has two gates:
- A lifetime Fons total. Every Fons you earn counts — spending doesn’t lower your progress.
- A few objectives, such as buying a car, reaching a comfort level in your home or finishing an exploration chapter.
Talk to Chiz early in the story to unlock the system.

Fastest ways to earn Fons
- Pink Paws Heist — the best source by far once it unlocks at level 10. See Fons farming.
- Café by Origen — hire characters as staff for passive income.
- Hobbies — races, Swift Travel, Sea Angler, City Delivery and Tetrominoes.
- Your home — furnishing and Anomaly Furniture add income.
Puka Membership (Version 1.4)
Reaching City Tycoon level 16 opens the Puka Membership Program, which includes two S-Class Character Selection Boxes and one S-Class Arc Selection Box — one of the best free rewards in the game.
FAQ
Do I lose Tycoon progress when I spend Fons?
No. Levels use lifetime Fons earned, so buy cars and houses freely.
What is the Wealth Board?
A weekly auction (from level 12) where you outbid NPCs on rotating goods.
