Chapter 38: What Do You Understand?

"No, these two schools are not suitable for you."

Subconsciously, Yufillia's impatient temper came up, and she immediately expressed opposition to her daughter's choice.

"Where is it not suitable? I think it's quite good. I chose it for a long time before making the decision. Mother, don't forget the freedom you promised me before."

Dorothy was also unconvinced.

What she said was just a notification, not a discussion. It was said that she would grasp her own life; she didn't like the feeling of someone pointing fingers at her future.

"That was Sophie Liya not using her full strength, not that your strength has really been recognized by me. Do you have no idea what level you are at now?"

"Then I don't care. Anyway, I won before. Could it be that you, a dignified Peak Witch, don't keep your word?"

"This is a waste of your talent..."

"I use my talent however I want. It's not like the Witch World can't function normally if there's one less of me. There are plenty of people more talented than me in this world; what's wasted or not?"

"Anyway, I don't agree."

"I don't need your agreement either."

For a time, the atmosphere between mother and daughter became tense again.

The angel witch, caught in the middle of this mother and daughter, only felt tired in her heart, but there was no way. Sophie Liya had to open her mouth again to help.

"Teacher, Young Lady, can you two calm down first?"

In order to better quell the true fire that these two were about to quarrel out, she also used the power of the Word Spirit in this sentence.

In that voice that sounded like the chanting of heavenly music, mother and daughter temporarily calmed down.

Dorothy was truly influenced by this Word Spirit, while Yufillia slightly regretted that her words were so harsh before, so she went down the slope.

The dragon witch felt a bit restless in her heart. She also wanted to get along well with her daughter and cultivate feelings. She also knew that this kind of quarreling was meaningless and would only make the relationship between mother and daughter, which had finally eased, stiffen again. But there was no way; how could this daughter be so willful? Every decision was jumping on her minefield.

Used to being overbearing and always having the final say at home, the dragon queen had never suffered such grievances in her life.

Thus, although the two who had just stood up to quarrel sat down again, the eye-to-eye confrontation of staring at each other continued.

"Is there anything that can't be discussed properly? Conflicts always stem from misunderstandings. Teacher, Young Lady, why don't you say your respective thoughts first? Maybe after saying it out, you can understand each other?"

Sophie Liya continued to persuade this pair of equally stubborn mother and daughter helplessly.

"Then, Young Lady, you come first. Why do you also want to go to Brewster Academy? And chose a..."

"emmmm..... mechanized civil engineering major. As far as I know, this seems to be a new major launched in the last two years. It's quite unpopular."

As student council president, Sophie Liya knew quite a lot about the various affairs of the Witch Academy, but even so, when she mentioned the major Dorothy chose, she also paused slightly.

Wasn't this a new major established a few years ago? It seemed to be a brand-new project that combined automated puppet technology with civil engineering technology, but it had always been quite deserted, and there weren't many students choosing this major. Therefore, Sophie Liya only knew about this major by hearsay and didn't know much about it either.

And for the angel witch's persuasion, Dorothy was actually still a bit angry.

Tsk, what's all this? What's wrong with me wanting to be a research witch? Why look down on research witches? Are you armed witches amazing? Without research witches as logistics, you bunch of war maniacs would have starved to death long ago. Aren't the things you eat, wear, and use all made by research witches?

But there was no way; witches themselves are a war race, and the social atmosphere is that armed witches have higher status. Except for those witches who truly like research, most of those who choose to be research witches are actually losers eliminated from the path of armed witches.

And the two she was facing now, Yufillia and Sophie Liya, were both armed witches, and they were the top of the top among armed witches, absolute social class elites. It was only natural that they would feel that research witches had no future and would oppose her choice.

Sigh, when a scholar meets a soldier, reason cannot be explained.

But Dorothy herself didn't think so; she truly hoped to become a research witch.

Firstly, because she truly didn't love fighting. Total Mana Web duels count as games, but the pain of being injured in real-world battles is real, and you might even die.

People die when they are killed, and witches are the same. So if you have nothing to do, why go fighting and killing?

Secondly, Dorothy also truly likes researching things. The reason she was a homebody in her past life was because she was addicted to games, novels, and anime, but the reason she is such a homebody in this life is because she is addicted to exploring the mysteries of magic. She likes the feeling of researching the principles of magic and then creating brand-new magic.

As for why she chose these two schools, Brewster and Newist? Of course, it's because these two schools are strong.

There are also rankings for various schools in the Witch Academy, and the two schools Dorothy chose are consistently in the top five all year round.

Brewster Academy specializes in alchemy and architecture, while Newist specializes in potions and livestock planting.

These two look quite high-end, but in Dorothy's eyes, they clearly wrote the words "infrastructure" and "farming," which directly moved her soul's DNA.

And after considering it comprehensively, she finally painfully gave up on the farming-style Newist Academy and chose the infrastructure-style Brewster Academy.

There's no way; even in the Witch World, real estate is very profitable, and Dorothy needs money.

Since her life goal has been set, then to achieve that goal, she must first become a witch lord.

And the fastest and best way to become a witch lord is naturally to become an armed witch and go to the front line to open up a new world. As long as you can fight it down, the territory will naturally be there.

But since Dorothy doesn't want to become an armed witch and conquer everywhere, she can only rely on buying, relying on spending money, relying on throwing money, relying on money power to acquire the territories of other witches.

Witch territories can be bought and sold. This is quite normal. After all, even among witches, there are those who are doing well and those who are doing poorly. There are always some wasteful prodigals who can lose the family foundation their ancestors fought for. It's normal that wealth doesn't last for several generations.

Those big lords are fine, but small territories like the Haiyue Island where Dorothy grew up are actually very easy to decline. These small territories basically rely on the lord herself to support them. Once the lord has an accident and the descendants haven't grown up, they will soon decline.

Often, there are declining witch territories that can't hold on and will take the territory out to sell. Dorothy's current goal is to first earn enough money to buy a territory.

This is not a small number. Dorothy inquired about the market price. For a smallest witch territory, about a small target of witch gold coins is enough.

Witch currency is actually quite cliché, still the set of copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins of the Middle Ages, with ten as a base.

It's just that unlike ordinary metal currency, the witch coins are cast using extraordinary materials refined from ordinary metals: refined copper, mithril, and true gold. These three extraordinary metals have a very good storage effect on witch mana, and the value of the witch coins they cast is also on par with the mana they contain.

One copper coin can just store 1 mana, one silver coin is 10 mana, and a gold coin is 100 mana.

And because of the universal nature of mana, it is destined that these witch coins have high value. Perhaps in the hands of witches, this currency is just a medium of transaction, and at most, it can be used as a mana power bank when mana is exhausted or thrown in as a spellcasting material to increase magic power when casting spells.

But for other races, witch coins are also known as universal coins. As long as you save enough witch coins, you can even cast wish spells.

Therefore, the actual purchasing power of witch coins is actually quite high. For a normal life consumption of a three-person witch family for a week, about one witch gold coin is enough, and if it were a mortal family, one witch gold coin is enough for them to spend for a year.

And under this premise, a small target of witch gold coins...

This is an astronomical figure that could scare Dorothy to death. Compared with this, the true small target of saving money to buy a house in her past life is simply not worth mentioning.

For this, she must find a way to make money, and in her concept, the most profitable thing in this world is always real estate.

Anyway, Dorothy is determined to be a real estate tycoon in the Witch World in the future.

It's just that can she persuade her mother with this kind of reason?

Hehe, forget it. In the eyes of big figures like Yufillia, her humble wish is probably a manifestation of lack of ambition and lack of progress.

According to this biological mother's personality, Dorothy feels that if she really said it out loud, she is afraid that she would directly throw money again.

Sigh, is there really a generation gap between parents and children in every world?

What she really wants is not money, but a home she built from scratch bit by bit. If it's not obtained by her own efforts, then it's meaningless. Can you stop using dirty money to corrupt my dream?

Dorothy sighed. Although she almost held no hope in her heart, she still gave the angel witch who was persuading the fight some face and opened her mouth to tell the truth about her thoughts.

Isn't it said that you can understand each other after saying it out? Let me see if you can really understand me.

After Dorothy finished speaking in one breath, she hugged her chest with both hands and just quietly watched the reactions of the two people beside her.

Come on, I've finished speaking, you can throw money to insult me, although I definitely won't take it.

And opposite, the master and disciple looked at each other again. The two of them, who had never worried about money in their lives, really couldn't understand Dorothy's thoughts.

Especially Sophie Liya, who was full of question marks.

The angel witch really wanted to ask the Young Lady in front of her if she was bored, if you want a territory to play house, then just ask the teacher for one. Could the teacher not give it to you? Anyway, isn't everything of the teacher in the future to be inherited by you? Why bother taking such a big detour?

Tsk, such a naive idea is really a Young Lady. She doesn't know the dangers of the outside society, and because of that boring and uninteresting self-esteem, she leaves the resources within reach beside her unused. It's simply ridiculously stupid.

However, the teacher definitely wouldn't agree. It's fortunate that it's the Young Lady; otherwise, if it were someone else, with the teacher's personality, she would have beaten her up long ago.

The strand of hair on the angel witch's head moved, complaining in her heart.

She once again confirmed that she really didn't get along with this Young Lady.

It's just that the thing that stunned both Dorothy and Sophie Liya happened next. The dragon witch, whose face was also gloomy at first, fell into deep thought for a long time. Just when both of them thought she was about to erupt, she let out a heavy breath and then nodded.

"I almost understand what you mean, Dorothy." ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
