System vs Rebirth

After resting for a while, they had finally gotten another assignment along with the reward from the previous mission.

A messenger came to their location, which was the Demon Beholder Group's member.

"You've received a new assignment. Immediately set off to the Silica Valley and receive the complete instruction from the Valley Master."

Paul nodded. "Order received."

"Also, this is your reward from the previous mission." He handed a letter before leaving.

Paul opened it and saw the reward. As expected, they received a quite amount of Gold and Contribution Points. Like Paul announced back then, Rose and Noel received the biggest reward while the others weren't that far off.

Normally, this would be the end of the reward. However, there was an additional reward attached at the bottom of the page along with the message.

'The Zero Squad will receive an additional 4,000 Gold and 120,000 Contribution Points.'

'This reward can be exchanged for various items in the Demon Banner Army Headquarters. The Demon Relief Squad can handle how they distribute it themselves.'

"Mhm? What is this additional reward?" Noel asked.

"It's from extorting that noble," said Paul with a smile. "The commander usually shared thirty percent of the reward with us in the form of money and points since we don't really need all the expensive stuff."

"I see." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"Are you disappointed that we only get thirty percent?"
