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."
