Oh?
From his response—a brief pause in his talk, eyes narrowing slightly, a laugh, and then changing the subject—it was clear Chris recognized I hadn''t been listening to him.

Hmm. Knowing that such information was readily available through reading and considering Chris''s advice to research, I felt no need for a verbal explanation. I reached out to select [No] on the virtual display, and the window disappeared.
Chris nodded, seeming to respect my choice to explore autonomously. "Very well. If you have any questions or need assistance, reach out."
Ding!

The screen in front of me, however, displayed red text rather than the regular Quest list description.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
Indeed, I planned to stick with Quests that had the potential to provide good clues—perhaps something related to the NPC (like befriending them) so I could understand what was happening in the game from the perspective of its inhabitants or something close to how the system worked, like exploring their lore.
But looking at this list... nothing stood out; everything was too generic.
I had no choice but to choose this relatively straightforward one. And efficiency always wins everything, right? I quickly pressed [Accept].
Ding!
