At long last... I have not only hit level 40, but the very next day I have also completed 700 total missions since I've started my journey in rising star. I know that I could have hit this a lot sooner had I been focusing more on music lessons and grinding out the first few missions in each area, but my focus was just building up my card collection as much as I could.
700 missions... And I hit that today with quite a bit of skill point grinding! These last two days have been a brutal grind as the game has been a tad stingy with giving me any pizza slices. However I did manage to find one and I held on to it for as long as I could. It really sucks finding no extra slices while your cold slice card is on cool down.
While I'm still outside of gaining a level per day, I'm a little surprised how fast I've been speeding through level 40. Level 41 is literally right around the corner and will be here with just a few more singing lessons.
Current Stats:
As of right now, here is where I sit. I haven't bought any new cards as I've been focusing only on gaining skill points from my recent purchase sending my ego meter up and away. I thought about buying more microphone cards but as of now I'm not really sure if that's necessary given I typically average +45 skill points per singing lesson.
Speaking of singing lessons, this is all I was running today outside of the first missions the the first two areas. I ended up getting a lot of high rewards from each mission, often getting +40-50 each time. I had done a few yesterday as I was sitting around 5422 skill. Today I am sitting at 5745, an easy +300 point gain with limited pizza accessibility. If I had found a few more pizzas I'm sure I could have pushed this closer to +400 or even +500 if I kept getting high rolls on the rewards.

And since there's no new cards, there's no increase in fans... Yet! I don't plan on doing a whole lot more of skill point grinding as I really want to try out running some of this new mission and see how well I can fit it into my schedule. It only adds about an extra 20 minutes to complete, but I think that might help make it line up with wanting to do a music lesson or extra smaller missions easier. 20 minutes is ~4 energy after all.
Ending:
Today's total mission count was much lower than the last few days. Instead of averaging +16 missions or more, we got a measly +11. It wasn't all too bad considering all we got today, minus some extra pizza slices but we'll definitely take what we can get.
Right now I'm back at a +100 gap of skill points over ego. With that in mind, I'm going to try to have a really good grind day to get that 100 closer to 400 or 500 higher than ego. Once that's done I can go back to my typical mission grinding and not have to worry about a whole lot of ego gain unless I encounter some drunks along the way.
