Five gigantic centipedes lay down on the ground, lifeless. They were at least five feet long from the antenna to its tail and were a meter wide. The appearance of these insects in farms was causing problems for the farmers. Killing on the livestock and feeding on the crops.

They sent Levi on a mission to kill at least five specimens of these pests. It may be few, but at least a temporary measuring in controlling their numbers. Farmers were also happy with these to prevent further damage in their farms.

A huge farmer approached Levi, the lean bodied enforcer wearing a tactical gear and holding his SaSh40 shotgun by both of his hands. The farmer was holding a Strauss Model 40 double-barreled shotgun. He thanked Levi for his efforts and said, "Thank you very much! I will give you a tip myself, young man!"

"No, it's fine… actually, I don't need a tip!" Levi said to the generous farmer.

"No, I mean it. You should take it! I would feel bad if you didn't." The farmer insisted.

Levi's partner, an agent named Anthony wearing his black suit and tie, arrived on the scene. He was carrying his receipt with a pen on his other hand. On the receipt, he wrote the name of the farmer, Klaus Middleton, and also wrote the price of 20,000 Mints.

"Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Middleton. I would like you to sign here…" Anthony said politely to Klaus.

The receipt surprised Levi when he saw it. With the commission of ten percent, he was supposed to have 2,000 Mints in commission. The farmer gave one 1,000 Mint bill to Levi.

 "This is the tip for your service, young man!" Klaus smiled at Levi.

Anthony cleared his throat and looked the other way. Company policy discouraged tips but did not prohibit them. Levi could not refuse Klaus' insistence, therefore, he wholeheartedly accepted the tip.

Looking at the surroundings and the damage done to the property. Levi asked Anthony, "Am I going to pay for all of this?"

"You don't have to worry about that, Levi!: Anthony replied and continued, "We have insurance for such damages. Your pay and commission won't be affected."

"Really!?" Levi exclaimed and commented, "The company is generous!" 

Anthony cleared his throat again and said to Levi, "You will, however, write a report about the damages later. Paperworks are waiting for you in the office."

"Reports?" Levi sighed, "Writing one is such a hassle!"

"You have to, or else… the company will punish you. You don't want that, right?" Anthony replied.

 "Fine…" Levi said, disappointed.

It had been a year since the system appeared to Levi. However, he still understood the basics. Mastering his skills and the usage of the system was still a hassle for him. He thought that the system had a steep learning curve, and he believed he was far from mastering it.

Suddenly, a notification appeared in front of him from the system. He wondered what it was about. The notification reads:
