Defi will be grabbing the headlines for 2021, but soon after, it will be NFTs' time to shine. Especially with the recent partnership between Enjin and Minecraft, where Minecraft users will now be able to place in-game items in an open market that Minecraft users can access within the game.

So, why wait for NFTs to blow up when you can get in early? Here's a simple way you can get started.

Neon District: Farming Neon
Neon District is a cyberpunk RPG where users are tasked with delivering pizza to different locations, and collecting money called "Neon" as payment. The catch is, that other users can ambush you and steal all of your hard earned neon.

This confrontation breeds the purpose of leveling up your delivery team (each team is comprised of a squad of four), and equipping them with weapons, armor, and other useful accessories.

With that said, the aforementioned is a part of the Tier 2 setting of the game. For beginners, or for players not looking for confrontation, they can stay in the Tier 1 setting. In Tier 1, there are no battle components, and your team will be getting those neon payments without the worry of being meddled with; and this is where I drive my recommendation.

On Tier 1, once you "Start A Shift", all of the deliveries are executed automatically. A shift usually takes several hours to complete, and the user doesn't have to be active or even logged in during this process. You can simply start a shift, run an errand, and come back to collect your neon hours later.

Neon can then be redeemed for other items that you can craft, that will now allow you to participate in the game more heavily (opening more profitable opportunities). Remember, with any of these blockchain games, the greatest value is derived from actually playing it. Hence, "Play To Earn". The goal of farming Neon in the process detailed above is that it is a passive way of participating in the NFT ecosystem.

The game is easy to play?

Tier one is super easy to play, as it's automated once you hit "Start New Shift". The other levels of the game (Tier 2) is also pretty simple. It plays as your typical RPG. You choose an attack, you watch the attack execute, and then the enemy executes their attack on you. Rinse and repeat until someone is defeated. You should definitely give it a try.

Can you collect NFTs, crypto playing the game?

Yep!

Cool, I deliver Pizza in Neon District now and bought 2 crates so far.
