The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei immediately replied with a disdainful expression:

"Isn't he just a person in charge? It's not like we haven't seen him before. A person in charge is just an ordinary person who's slightly stronger, right? Speaking of which, where's Zhao Hong? I remember Zhao Hong was the person in charge of Dachang City, wasn't he?"

Wang Lei's father, Wang Jundao, said:

"Zhao Hong is currently missing, and his fate is unknown."

Wang Lei curled his lip in disdain and said:

"His fate is unknown? Doesn't that mean he's dead? How many leaders have there been in Dachang City? Every single one of them is missing. Does that guy even look like anything special? Is he worth all this fawning over?"

Wang Jun looked at his son's nonchalant attitude and felt his chest pound with anger:

"You unfilial son, shut up! He's different from the other people in charge."

Wang Lei still looked disdainful:

"Different? How different could they be? Aren't they just ordinary people who possess one or two strange artifacts?"

"Give me a magical artifact and I can become the city's head. Then you'll all have to fawn over me, right?"

Wang Jun was quite shocked by his son. How could he have given birth to such a son with such an unbelievable lack of intelligence?

Wang Jun finally had no choice but to slowly say:

"He's no ordinary person. All you need to know is that this current head of Dachang City can crush you as easily as crushing an ant."

"Tch! Anyone can talk big!" Wang Lei said with a disdainful expression.

Wang Jun had no choice but to send him the recording of Xu Feng's live stream, saying:

"This is a recording of his gameplay in the instance. Watch it yourself, and you'll understand."

"What are you looking at? I'm not interested. With this time, I could host a couple more parties!" Wang Lei retorted.

Wang Junzhen was at his wit's end with his son.

He felt that his main account might be ruined and was already considering whether to create a new account.

"Fine, fine, go play somewhere else. Anyway, I'm warning you, don't mess with that Xu Feng. If you dare to mess with him, I'll sever our father-son relationship."

Wang Lei curled his lip in disdain, "Sever the father-son relationship if you want!"

Someone as awesome as him can live without his father.

Wang Lei had already made his plans; he would call up a few of his underlings from the streets later.

Give this arrogant brat a good beating. He even dares to steal the woman he's set his sights on.

Are you tired of living?

Who doesn't own a few magical artifacts? As a spoiled rich kid, he certainly did.

He did spend a lot of money to buy a few strange artifacts from the black market.

He felt that no city official could possibly be his match.

…………

On the other side, Xu Feng sat on the sofa, looking at his mother-in-law who was dumbfounded, with an elegant and composed smile on his face.

Xiufang was stunned. Had her daughter managed to curry favor with someone powerful?

Judging from what those high-ranking leaders said, Xu Feng is also a chosen one!

Ever since her daughter became a Chosen One, she has been watching survival livestreams.

Those survival dungeons are terrifying, especially the dungeon bosses, they're really scary.

She heard those high-ranking leaders say that their daughters' boyfriends could take on dungeon bosses head-on, so they must be incredibly powerful people.

Xiufang doesn't search for her daughter's live stream, nor does she dare to watch it.

She was terrified that one day she would watch helplessly as her daughter died tragically in the live stream, unable to do anything to help.

Her youngest daughter was rebellious since childhood, and Xiufang always felt that she owed her something, but now she has completely lost contact with her youngest daughter.

Xiufang kept thinking, maybe I'm a bad mother?

If her eldest daughter were to die in front of her, Xiufang truly wouldn't know what the point of her life would be.

…………

Xu Feng caught a glimpse of a family photo on the wall out of the corner of his eye. It showed a girl who was so thin she looked like a ghost sitting in a wheelchair.

Her hair was dry and brittle, her skin was sallow, her cheeks were thin, her back was hunched, and although her eyes were dim, they revealed a longing for life. Her eyebrows and speech were somewhat similar to Hongxia's.

Is this the previous Nijigasaki?

Xu Feng was shocked. He looked at Hong Xia with a hint of heartache in his eyes. He realized that this girl had suffered so much before.

He couldn't help but glance at another person in the family photo. It was a girl with a sweet smile, who was hugging her sister's neck. His pupils dilated in shock.

Because he saw someone he knew.

They were teammates in the second dungeon run.

Landmine Girl?

Why is there a landmine girl in this family photo?

He remembered that Ye Ningyun had always felt guilty about the death of Landmine Girl, and during the Chongdao Sacrifice City, he had been blaming himself and kept nagging in his ear.

If I had been a little faster, Mine Girl wouldn't have died.

Xu Feng looked at Hong Xia, and his heart trembled. No wonder Jiang Chen made him a runner-up back then.

Did Jiang Chen already know that Hong Xia was in a terrible situation?

He had just lost his sister and was about to die in the dungeon, so he asked him to lend a hand.

That girl is really something, she keeps everything from him.

Xu Feng affectionately patted Hong Xia's head. The landmine girl had indeed helped him a lot in the second dungeon, but she fell before dawn.

Xu Feng also bears some responsibility for this. He shouldn't have let those few little devils in the elevator shaft go; he should have killed them all.

That way, the landmine girl won't die.

Who would have thought that Landmine Girl was so kind and righteous, actually helping Ye Ningyun stop the little devil in the elevator, which played a decisive role in clearing the dungeon.

If it weren't for the landmine girl, Xu Feng would most likely have crashed at the Clan Grand Hotel, and everyone would have died.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng felt even more guilty. He looked at Hong Xia in the family photo.

A gentle, refined smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly:

"Auntie, please rest assured to entrust Hongxia to me! I will take care of her for the rest of my life."

"This is a dowry of one million. If you feel it's not enough, you can ask for more."

As if by magic, Xu Feng pulled out one million from the God's Chosen Space and placed it on the table.

Xiufang was shocked and quickly pushed the one million back:

"I don't want a bride price. I just ask that you treat Hongxia well and make her happy."

The old mother's wrinkled face was full of guilt; her feelings toward the national destiny were very complicated.

The national destiny instance restored her daughter's health, but it also left her in a precarious situation where she could die within the instance at any moment.

Their family was very poor and couldn't afford to buy their daughter resurrection items as a safety net. Becoming a chosen one might not be a big deal for a rich person.

After all, they're willing to spend money and connections to hire someone to run alongside them, or to buy one or two resurrection items to cover their losses in dungeons.

But their family couldn't make it; they were too poor.

Xiufang only hoped that Xu Feng could protect her daughter in the dungeon, which was also what this humble yet great mother had entrusted to Jiang Chen.

This is why Jiang Chen shamelessly asked Xu Feng to accompany Hong Xia on a dungeon run.

"Auntie, please accept this! Take good care of yourself; medical treatment must cost a lot of money!" Xu Feng said with a slight smile.

Uncle Mads could tell at a glance that Xiufang had uremia; she was just putting on a brave face to avoid worrying her daughter.

Xiufang was slightly surprised. No wonder the people at the First People's Hospital asked him to take some time to perform two surgeries.

So this young man is a doctor!

Doctor, that's great! At least I won't have to worry about food and clothing.

Thinking of this, Xiufang was even more satisfied with her son-in-law. Not only was he elegant and proper in his speech, but he also had superb medical skills.

Moreover, he's a top-tier player who can tank dungeon bosses.

This is exactly the same male protagonist character she read in romance novels when she was young.

Xu Feng seemed to have thought of something and looked at Hong Xia, saying:

"Hongxia, after you enter your monster form and have both kidneys removed, will you be able to grow two more?"
