Aurora-tan's New Autumn!

Hullo my pico lovers!
Hi everyone! It's me, Aurora-tan!

I haven't played Pico in almost a year, can you believe that? It's pretty shameful, I know. But you know why I started playing again? It's because I am addicted to playing the newest game by Ameba which is World Chef! Who would have guessed that cooking could be so addicting?


Considering that I don't even get to eat the food . . .

In World Chef, you run your very own restaurant, and cook special dishes. Too bad I can't wear the clothes in Pico in this game. My Pico will have to run around blind without my usual red glasses. In any case, I have been playing a lot of this game recently because you can ...

...collect gnomes and mushrooms!

That's right! Because of gnome collecting!
You gather mushrooms by completing tasks in World Chef and you trade those in to get some cool gnome statues! The only problem I've faced are actually being able to collect certain colors. Some colors you can only collect by cooking and serving Autumn Stew. That is a dish that takes 6 hours (!!) to cook. It's very time consuming. To collect red mushrooms, you have to cook Autumn Stew lots of times, and these randomly appear.

Why not just cook Autumn Stew and then immediately throw the dish away? Because cooking Autumn Stew takes 2,000 of your coins each time. So that would be like throwing cash away!

Wahh... will I ever be able to collect 10 red ones?

At least in the meantime, my handsome waiters will keep me company.

The food isn't the only thing that's delicious here ... <3

So far, I have collected 4 gnomes! Here's how many mushrooms you need for each one:

Red gnome requires 2 Red Mushrooms
Yellow gnome requires 2 Yellow Mushrooms
Green gnome requires 10 Red Mushrooms and 5 Green Mushrooms
Orange gnome requires 15 Yellow Mushrooms, 5 Orange Mushrooms, and 2 Pink Mushrooms
Purple gnome requires 30 Red Mushrooms, 3 Purple Mushrooms, and 15 Green Mushrooms.

To collect Mushrooms, check out the side panel on the Gnome quest window for details... so far, the hardest ones to get are Red, Yellow, and Orange. I hope to at least see a Purple or Blue Mushroom soon. Until then, I will be playing Pico!

So long! See you next time! Quack!
