Furthermore, food products that have a lower ranking will be arranged and prioritized before special dishes to prevent unintentional consumption.

8) Long Quest Prompt to be added
A Long mission prompt will be added to the game, requiring players to confirm before starting a mission that involves difficult combat or a lengthy duration. In certain situations, this feature will cause the following to happen:
