Things would work out when they got there.
"Screeeech!"
As the last Spider Monster collapsed to the ground, charred all over, every trace of Red Aura vanished from Li Wei's sight. What frustrated him, however, was that he had brought so many people all this way, yet even after the final Spider Monster was killed, the system still hadn't issued him a quest.
Did this quest really have to wait until I figured out what those bastards at the First Research Institute were doing? Were these Spider Monsters just roadside trash, not worth a proper quest?
Li Wei felt as though the system was secretly upgrading itself without telling him.
At first, the system had issued a quest at the slightest hint of trouble, practically serving as a beginner's tutorial. Once Li Wei got used to it, its behavior changed: it wouldn't issue a quest unless he found a clue.
Then even finding clues stopped being enough. It insisted on waiting until he understood what the enemy intended to do before issuing a quest.
Li Wei had noticed that the requirements for triggering quests were becoming increasingly demanding and strict. In the past, simply seeing this swarm of Spider Monsters would probably have triggered a quest to eliminate them and discover the cause. But now... he had killed every last one without seeing so much as a hint of a quest.
Li Wei opened the system again and checked. There was no version number...
This system's getting craftier by the day. What the hell did you even upgrade? The quest requirements keep getting higher, but I haven't seen any other benefits!
Li Wei didn't believe he was imagining things. After all, he had the [Photographic Memory] trait. He carefully recalled all the quests the system had issued since he arrived
