The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Xu Feng was taken aback. Were these residents out of their minds?

More than half of their thousand-plus chosen ones are men!

How could a woman be used as a sacrifice?

Immediately, a chilling thought popped into Xu Feng's mind.

Is this national war game some kind of gender-swapped version?

Some gender-swapped instances are okay; once you're gender-swapped, you can revert to normal after leaving the instance.

Some gender-swapped characters have permanent skin.

It's like a blood pressure simulator giving King Arthur an Artoria skin.

Xu Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

No, who knows if the gender-swap curse will befall him? He has to break the curse of the Demon Blade Sacrifice City as soon as possible.

Destiny and mysterious artifacts don't matter anymore; as long as I'm not gender-swapped, everything is fine.

Xu Feng stared at the residents with their fanatical eyes, his head buzzing.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, Imamura Tano led everyone to the so-called guesthouse.

This place far exceeded everyone's expectations. The green-tiled wooden buildings were built against the mountain, and the hot spring in the courtyard was steaming. It had everything you needed for food and lodging, just like a hot spring inn scene from an anime.

Aside from the pitifully small portions of food, which were barely enough for everyone, the rest of the treatment was practically like a vacation. The chosen ones breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this dungeon wasn't so scary after all.

Imamura Tano was quite enthusiastic, chatting happily with the team leaders from various countries. Before leaving, he specifically warned Qin Yu and the others:

"The city is not safe at night, so it's best if you all stay indoors."

Just as Xu Feng finished soaking in the hot spring and was about to rest, a commotion came from outside the door.

"Mr. Xu Feng, may I come in?"

Listening to the clear and melodious Japanese.

Xu Feng was slightly taken aback. This voice should be that of Shirakami Yukihime, the Fukushima shrine maiden, right?

During previous exchanges between different factions, they introduced themselves to each other.

Xu Feng still has a deep impression of this beautiful name.

Although I don't know why Shirakami Yukihime came to see me in the middle of the night, it couldn't possibly be for a night climb, could it?

Moreover, for safety reasons, most of the chosen ones do not live alone.

Xu Feng, Ye Ningyun, Hong Xia, and Yu tide were all in one room, and Yu Xi was even assigned to keep watch at night.

Thinking this, Xu Feng coughed twice and said:

"Come in!"

Shirakami Yukihime was dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, her silver hair cascading down her back, followed by Yamashita Tokyo and a group of Fukushima mutants of various shapes and sizes.

Seeing such a large group of people, Xu Feng was slightly taken aback. He thought to himself, "I couldn't win them over during the day, so why are they bringing so many people here at night? Are they going to kill us?"

Come to think of it, since we were separated from the main force, which meant that our ability to withstand risks was extremely low.

But then Xu Feng thought about it again and felt that something was wrong.

No, it seems this group is being ostracized by people like Tsunamoto Hikawa.

Maybe she wants to form a small group with him!

After all, the various small countries have reached a consensus and started to stick together for mutual support.

It's also possible that he showed off his skills in the previous confrontation, and that Hikawa Tsunamoto, still harboring ill intentions, wanted to win him over, so he sent Shirakami Yukihime over.

Xu Feng had already prepared his refusal in his mind, intending to reject it decisively.

Before he could speak, Shirakami Yukihime said earnestly:

"Mr. Xu Feng, I have come with my companions to seek refuge with you."

"What?" Xu Feng was stunned, clearly not expecting Shiragami Yukihime to say that. His elegant and composed expression froze. "Join my service?"

Shirakami Yukihime nodded, a hint of grievance flashing in her eyes:

"We Fukushima mutants have always been discriminated against by Tsunamoto Hikawa; they don't treat us like one of their own at all."

"Sooner or later they'll send my underlings to be cannon fodder. Rather than that, it's better to follow you, Mr. Xu Feng; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope."

Xu Feng realized that Shirakami Yukihime's humble attitude meant she wasn't trying to cooperate, but rather wanted to join him.

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked with a hint of amusement:

"Oh? What makes you think I'd take you in? And why did you choose me?"

Shirakami Yukihime raised her head, her clear blue eyes beneath her silver hair, and said earnestly:

"Because you look like a good person."

Xu Feng never dreamed that he would be friend-zoned in a dungeon.

"puff!"

Xu Feng laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he could hardly straighten up.

"Hey girl, isn't there something wrong with your taste? A good person? What makes me seem like a good person?"

Shirakami Yukihime gently bit her lower lip, seemingly anticipating his wariness, and added softly:

"The gods I worship also deeply miss China."

"The deity we worship?" Xu Feng's laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression instantly turned serious.

How could Shirakami Yukihime, a priestess, communicate with the gods?

Looks like he has testicles!

A thought crossed his mind, and he tentatively asked:

"You're not worshipping the Yamata no Orochi, are you? The nine-headed prince consort who had one head cut off?"

Shirakami Yukihime shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of reverence:

"The deity I worship did indeed have one head cut off, but He is a genuine Dragon King. Influenced by the deity, I have always longed for China since I was a child."

"The Dragon King whose head was chopped off?" Xu Feng's pupils shrank, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Holy crap, could it be the Dragon King of the Jing River?

Is he the one whose head Wei Zheng beheaded in his dream?

That guy actually escaped to Japan?

He was completely dumbfounded. So those myths and legends were actually true?

Could this girl be a witch who worships the Dragon King of the Jing River? This is too outrageous!

He remembered seeing news reports that some places in China still worshipped Japanese evil gods.

But this was the first time he had ever encountered a Japanese shrine maiden worshipping a Chinese deity.

This is utterly upside down!

It must be admitted that this Japanese shrine maiden was quite skilled, at least reducing Xu Feng's prejudice against her.

Looking at the group of Japanese collaborators in front of him, Xu Feng did not lower his guard.

Offering help for no reason is either suspicious or suspicious. Who knows what these people are up to if they suddenly come to us for help?

He changed the subject and continued to ask:

"Since you yearn for China, why not seek out Qin Yu? He has a large and powerful force under his command, and his strength far surpasses mine. Wouldn't joining them be a better choice?"

Shirakami Yukihime frowned, her face showing obvious discomfort: "Qin Yu gives me a very unclean feeling, which makes me very uncomfortable. But you are different. You are pure and clean, which is why I chose to come to you."

Bai Shen Xue Ji had another concern, which she didn't explicitly state: with so few people, he probably wouldn't have any say in Qin Yu's side.

On the contrary, Xu Feng has a lot of say.

Shirakami Yukihime judged that Xu Feng's combat power could overwhelm 99% of the chosen ones on the field, which is why she chose to join Xu Feng.

"Me, completely clean?" Xu Feng felt like he'd heard the greatest compliment of the century, and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, inwardly thinking:

Hey girl, why don't you just say I'm Chu Nan?

To disgust the witch with poor eyesight, Xu Feng imitated Qin Yu's playboy manner and put his arms around the shoulders of Hong Xia and Yu tide beside him.

Hongxia blushed instantly, her head almost drooping to her chest, too ashamed to resist.

Yu tide's face darkened, and she barely managed to suppress the urge to break his arm, holding back her outburst.

Xu Feng deliberately adopted a flippant demeanor, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Shirakami Yukihime:

"Which eye of yours saw that I'm completely innocent? There are so many people watching, don't you dare slander me."

To Xu Feng's surprise, Shiragami Yukihime did not show any disgust. Instead, she looked at him with an incredibly pitiful expression.

This way of hugging someone is for a brother, not a woman.

This is indeed Chu Nan, no doubt about it.

After a few seconds, it was as if he had made some kind of huge decision.

Shirakami Yukihime's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz yet exceptionally clear:

"If you want to get rid of your virginity, I can help you."

Xu Feng: "???"
