The System’s happy voice sounded in her head, “Hey! Did you miss me?”

“Nope . Without you around, my ears finally got their much deserved break,” Jiang Pengji replied .

The System seemed to have become more thick-skinned and human-like after its upgrade . It was no longer like its past self where it would cry when Jiang Pengji rebutted it .

After its upgrade, the System understood that it could not be separated from its host . Jiang Pengji may have a sharp tongue and disses its existence, but she still needed it . Without it, she would not be able to attain her goals .

Jiang Pengji was multitasking . On one hand, she was talking to Qiguan Rang, but in her mind, she was asking the System, “You said you needed twelve hours to upgrade . Why does it feel like it took almost twenty four hours? I was planning to resume my stream today . ”

The System was evasive when it answered . “I miscalculated the upgrade time . That’s why it took longer than expected . ”

Jiang Pengji smiled in her mind and did not continue her line of questioning . Instead, she asked another question . “You said you upgraded once, right? You’re not as useless as you were back then?” Jiang Pengji asked without a care for the System’s feelings . “Tell me what you upgraded . If you’re still that useless, then it’s best if you go upgrade yourself a few more times . Time is not an issue . ”

The System got upset after hearing that . “Yesterday you ignored me, but today, you’ll be astonished by my capabilities!” the System proudly declared .

When Jiang Pengji heard the System’s proud declaration, she could almost see its smug expression . “Oh? Tell me more . I want to know how much a useless System can improve with an upgrade . ”

The System kept a lid on its emotions and pretended to clear its throat . “In that case, please listen carefully . To be of better service to you, a more human-like patch has been installed in me . This will improve our communication . To boost your popularity, an easier viewability for your streams has been added . An immediate quest module has also been installed . ”

“Immediate quest module?” Jiang Pengji showed her displeasure in her mind, but outwards, she showed no change .

The System excitedly replied, “The System will analyze your data and then create quests for you to complete . This allows you to be more immersed into this current era . You will, of course, get better rewards, too . ”

“Can I reject such quests?” Jiang Pengji asked abruptly .

“No, you can’t . These quests are automatically added into your quest list . Completing them only benefits you,” the System quickly replied .

Jiang Pengji huffed a cold laugh in her mind . Completing the quests only benefited her? What if she refused, or failed, the quests? Jiang Pengji hated being forced to do something by others .

The System was much more sensitive to her feelings after the upgrade and it sensed that she was upset . “You don’t seem happy about such quests,” the System carefully said .

“Why should I complete a quest forced upon me? What if the quest is against my principles? What if I reject the quest or fail it?” Jiang Pengji fired her questions rapidly . “What if I have no interest in the quest rewards? Who allowed you to make this decision?”

The System was speechless for a while . “Please don’t be so stubborn . This had been analyzed and the results are the most accurate . The rewards will be the most beneficial to you, too . As your System, my aim is to serve you . Whatever benefits you, benefits me as well . I hope you can understand . ”

Jiang Pengji gave a cold snort . “You can choose to give me the quests, but I decide if I want to do it . ”

The System was silent before it sternly replied, “Please don’t be so stubborn . Completing the quests would benefit you in the future . I made many calculations to ensure that you would only benefit from this . There are no disadvantages…”

“I… will… not… do… them!” Jiang Pengji said, dragging each word out .

The System was silent for a long while before it spoke with the most severe of tones . “If you are going to be stubborn about this, you’ll eventually regret it . Please know that all quests will have their risks and benefits . Completing them will reward you greatly . If you fail to complete them, or if you not do them, you will have to bear the consequences and punishments . ”

Jiang Pengji pursed her lips and held her anger and murderous intent in check . “Then so be it . You think I’m someone who will take threats lying down?” Jiang Pengji asked in anger .

Even if the System panicked, it would be useless to say anything more as Jiang Pengji was all out to rebel against it . The more it wanted her to do something, the more unwilling she was .

“It seems my efforts are all in vain . You will regret this,” the System replied angrily .

It had thought that she would be elated at the news, which was why it had installed the immediate quest module . The quest rewards would have benefitted her in the long run and most hosts leapt with joy at the sight of the rewards .

It had not taken into account that its host was as stubborn as a mule and would not be elated by such news .

“I’m tired and will not be streaming today . Just be quiet . I have a headache . ”

The System had not realized Jiang Pengji’s real temperament and had tried to force her to bend to its will . Even her own teachers could not force her, much less a System from an unknown source .

When Qiguan Rang noticed Jiang Pengji’s sudden pallor, he quickly expressed his concern . “Lanting, are you all right?”

“The carriage is too bumpy and I have a headache,” she replied lifelessly without opening her eyes .

Bumpy? Qiguan Rang was dumbfounded . The Liu’s carriage was a much smoother ride compared to the Wei’s .

The two stayed quiet for the remainder of the journey . By the time they had arrived back at the Liu residence, it was past dinner time .

When Liu She and Wei Yuan noticed the other two’s return, they stopped their conversation and expressed their delight .

After a bit more conversation, Wei Yuan got up and bid Liu She farewell . He had attained his goal for the day and there was no need to overstay his welcome .

Liu She got up to send the guests off while Jiang Pengji returned to her room . She did not even change her clothes before she settled into her bed .

Before she nodded off, Nongqin called out timidly from outside the door . “Langjun, someone wishes to see you . ”

Jiang Pengji kicked off the covers with a sour expression . Meng Liang chose a bad time to visit . I guess he can’t wait to die!
