Meanwhile at Bright light Summer camp,
After a hearty dinner, Jade retired to sleep.
' Upgrade beginning.' System Jade says.
Jade was confused but then she felt changes around her body. Her arms became full of energy, her senses sharper, her chest felt heavier and she felt she had gained comprehensive abilities.
' Update completed.' System Jade sa
' What's going on?' Jade asks.
' The increase in beauty, intelligence, stamina and so on are upgraded into your body every time you lie down to sleep. I have also downloaded the martial arts manual into your body system, you just have to familiarise yourself without it.' System Jade replied.
' Cool! I thought I would have to study,practice and work like forever before i could get martial skills. JT, you are awesome.' Jade says happily.
' You still haven't visited the virtual library.' System Jade reminded.
' Okay I want to visit the virtual library.' Jade says.
' Uploading consciousness into the virtual library.' System Jade says.
Jade felt a fuzzy feeling and then she closed her eyes, when she opened them she was in an ancient looking library. The only thing looking out of place was the high end computer on the table.
' Huh! Virtual Library? I thought it would like something from a sci-fi movie but this resembles a library from an ancient castle. I thought here would have some kind of transparent blue light, the walls would be computer devices and the...' Jade says but was interrupted by a familiar cold voice.
' It seems like the update had a reverse effect on your intelligence.' System Jade says.
Jade Thompson turned around.
Her eyes widened in shock!
' You.... You are...' She stammered.
' Nice to meet you, I am Jade Thompson.' System Jade.
' O.M.G! You are so beautiful, if I do say so myself. You have the aura of a mighty Empress. I'm so excited.' Jade chatted happily. She couldn't believe she met Jade Thompson. This was better than getting a kiss from BTS' JK.
' You are more noisy in person.' System Jade commented.
' Come on don't be a wet blanket. Let's talk, tell me how you learnt all the things, you learnt. Tell me about your mom, how do you feel going 5 against 1. I want to know everything.' Jade Thompson says excitedly.
System Jade sighed as she sat down and answered all of Jade's questions patiently. It reminded her of when Ruby would ask her questions when they were younger. A touch of nostalgia graced her blue eyes.

Jayden stared at the ceiling deep in thought as he stroked a pendant round his neck.
' Jane King, do you know your daughter takes after you alot? Rest assured I'll fulfill the promise I made to you.'
***************
Thompson Villa,
Wendy Thompson watched through the window as Ruby snuck into the house, looking around like a thief.
She noticed the slight limp in her steps.
She smirked as she looked at Jane King's picture on her phone.
' So how do you find it Jane? You prided yourself in being honest, capable and responsible. How do you feel about your daughter being an older man's toy? This is just the beginning, I will ruin your legacy!' Wendy Thompson says smiling.

Meanwhile,
Jade and Jade talked for a while and found out a lot about each other.
System Jade Thompson was groomed from two years old by her maternal great grandfather to take over the King Empire. Before dying, her mother had entrusted her to take care of her sister Ruby.
On her mother's funeral, she saw Wendy and Richard rolling around on her mother's matrimonial bed. She had to marry Liam Lincoln because it was a clause on her mother's will to marry a Lincoln.
She had deliberately suppressed her scores academically because she didn't want to make Ruby feel outshined and inferior.
Jade hadn't expected System Jade to be a sister lackey but the stupid Ruby couldn't appreciate it.
Jade on the other hand was the granddaughter of a general and dutchess who gave boys preferential treatment over girls.
Her mother was a lovesick woman who would do everything her husband told her to do even if it meant disregarding her daughter's wellbeing. For example donating blood to his business partner's daughter, giving away his daughter's hard earned medal when a prospective investor's daughter took interest in it.
Her maternal grandmother was looking for who to pass the psychology baton to and would heavily berate her if she went below expectations.
She and System Jade had one thing in common: Unreliable Family members.
System Jade then took time to tutor Jade Thompson on Physics. They were so engrossed that they didn't notice it was already 6 in the morning.
' You should go back now. Lessons start soon.' System Jade says.
' No I want to stay here. I don't have the energy to deal with those b*stards. Besides, I'm a good girl I don't need any character reformation.' Jade says pouting.
System Jade pursed her lips. Good girl indeed.
' Camper Jade! Camper Jade.'
She heard a voice saying
