Although investigating this mission had taken a lot of effort, the mission itself had not been particularly difficult.
Li Wei could tell that from the rewards the system gave him-by now, judging a mission's difficulty by its system rewards had become one of his habits.
[Mission "Death Eternal" completed] [Time taken: S] [Investigation efficiency: S] [Impact: S] [Overall rating: SSS] [Lifespan gained: +100, bonus: +50]
See? It really wasn't that difficult.
Looking at the rewards before him, Li Wei curled his lip. Actually, that also had something to do with his early arrival. When he and Katie reached the basement, the old man had clearly been performing a ritual to summon some so-called "great being." Li Wei had interrupted the ritual and prevented the final boss from appearing, which made dealing with the old man much easier.
He was only immortal. How hard could he be to beat?
If Li Wei wanted better rewards, his best option would have been to sit back and wait for the man to summon that great being, then fight it head-on.
Li Wei's response to that was... no thanks.
He had no idea what the man would summon. But considering that even an incomplete summoning could drain other people's lifespans and grant them eternal youth and immortality, Li Wei might not be able to beat this great being if it truly descended.
So the best approach was to keep it from descending at all.
The rewards might be a little smaller, but at least it was safe.

This ability... well, it was
