Chapter 616 (2/2)

Zhao Youyue felt as if a door had been opened up before her, its path clear and bright. First, she had to ensure that she had a solid education foundation. It was best if she got herself a “genius” title. That’s how she would quickly gain favor and benefits. Generally speaking, those of noble lineages were more likely to become “sorcerers.”

Becoming a genius would be no problem for her. After all, she had the learning ability of “Xu Jing.” At the same time, she also possessed the sword skills of “Su Shi.” Even though she had no magical talent, she could rely on her swordsmanship. She could still become strong. Do not forget, that in the “World of the Witcher,” the witchers mainly relied on their swordsmanship to get through their days. Things like potions, magical symbols and such were all auxiliary.

Of course, time in the source world went by very quickly, compared to the time in the real world. It was just like how one could sleep for two hours, but experience a six-hour long dream.

During her infantile stages, Zhao Youyue felt as if she was playing a mobile game through the “Two Dimensional Gate.” She did not need to control Olivia personally. After three years passed, Olivia had to begin her enlightening education formally.

Zhao Youyue finally got serious with the “World of the Witcher.” There, she found that in addition to the main quests, there were many more secondary quests and treasure hunts, even.

Most of the main quests were related to learning, such as aristocratic etiquette, writing, history of the mainland and such. As for the treasure hunts, she would have to explore the castle of the Cintra Kingdom, her very own home. There would be much to uncover. Zhao Youyue decided to clear these quests first.

First of all, her three-year-old self was already far more beautiful than her sister Cirilla. Who knows, when puberty strikes Cirilla, things might change. In that case, she might just be another ugly duckling story.

Cirilla was also unpleasant to be with. Compared to the quiet, ladylike Olivia, Cirilla was like a mischevious bear cub. One might easily mistake her gender. She even dressed like a boy.

Olivia was different. Although she had beautiful ashen-gray hair and glistening emerald-green eyes just like her sister, she was far more subdued. She wore nothing but cumbersome and gorgeous dresses. No matter where she stood, she would attract the attention of many, just with her good looks. Now that she had a sister to be compared with, Cirilla only became all the more unappetizing.

Even so, the sisters got together very well. Ciri was very proud of her beautiful and adorable sister. Her younger sister was always really sensible. Sometimes, she even acted like an older sister who took care of her instead.
