The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

As the music started, all twelve bosses, including Xu Feng, turned off their lights.

All twelve lights went out!!!

All twelve lights went out instantly, and blinding darkness filled the male guests' seats.

Ling Shuang's aloof and indifferent expression froze instantly, and her originally commanding demeanor became somewhat awkward.

The live stream chat exploded. Just a second ago, everyone was praising Sister Ling as the best in the world.

The next second, the screen was filled with incredulous questions, furious roars from die-hard fans, and merciless mockery from bystanders.

The barrage of comments was so dense it completely obscured the screen, and the scrolling speed was so fast it left afterimages.

Zero Sister is the coolest (Hua): ? ? ? ? What's going on? All the lights are off? Am I seeing things?! Are these bosses blind? Why don't they like someone as outstanding as Zero Sister?

Zero Legion Commander (Hua): This is trash dungeon! It's all rigged! Why did they wipe out our Zero Sister?! Are these bosses crazy?!

Zero Can't Beat Me Handstand (Hua): Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There must be a system malfunction! My sister Zero is so outstanding, how could all the lights be turned off!

Swords and Shadows Never Die (Hua): What's going on! What are these weird BOSSes pretending to be so high and mighty for! It's their honor that Sister Zero was chosen by them, so why did they turn off Sister Zero's light?

Zero's Only Designated Husband (Hua): I'm completely devastated! I gambled my entire fortune on Zero to beat the game, and all my lights went out?!

Lingjie's pet turtle (Hua, number one on the list): The show's production team should apologize! What kind of result is this?! What's wrong with my Lingjie?! There must be some shady dealings involved.

Spectator (Hua): I said it long ago, Ling Shuang is too arrogant. She came out shouting that she would defeat the BOSS. Who would like such a provocateur?

Veteran dungeon player (Hua): Don't you know what's going on? These are all bosses, not the mobs she usually slays. How dare you underestimate a boss? If you don't extinguish her lamp, who will?

Leziren (Hua): Hahahaha, what a complete disaster! The more you brag just now, the more your face hurts now!

If you eat my teammates, you can't eat me! (Hua): Oh no, oh no, if all the lights go out, are we going to be thrown into the Twisted Corridor? Zero is going to send it!

Bloody Gentleman fans (Chinese): Bloody Gentleman turning off the lights was absolutely right!

He's a decent person, not some kind of battle maniac. Ling Shuang's personality is simply incompatible with the Bloodthirsty Gentleman. She's trying to treat my husband like a servant.

Why should she? Just because she has a big face?

Zero Sister's die-hard fan (Hua): Impossible! Bloody Gentleman is just a newbie boss. It's an honor for Zero Sister to choose him. Why should he refuse our Zero Sister?

Ling Jie is just not good with words, why are you treating her like this!

Jianlai (Hua): Fighting buddy? That's hilarious. The Bloody Gentleman just wants to cook, he doesn't want to fight. Your Sister Zero is just being delusional.

Zero Sister's Top Pick (Hua): These bosses are blind! They're letting such a cool, aloof beauty go unchosen; they'll regret it!

Disconnect City and Account Thief Warrior (Hua): Regret? She's a BOSS, what kind of beauty hasn't she seen? With Ling Shuang's arrogant attitude, if I were the BOSS, I wouldn't even take her if she offered herself to me.

The screen was filled with question marks, exclamation marks, angry curses, and sarcasm.

Ling Shuang's live stream went from being adored by everyone to plummeting to rock bottom, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

Fans were completely overwhelmed, while passersby watched the spectacle with gusto, creating an uproar.

Meanwhile, in the matchmaking instance, Yuanji gave an awkward smile and said:

"What a misfortune! I never expected that no one would be interested in you. You still have one chance to persuade the Bloody Gentleman to stay. Do you have anything to say?"

Ling Shuang, her face dark, strode up to the Bloodstained Gentleman and said coldly:

"I heard you're the newbie boss?"

Xu Feng nodded:

"I'd say that's about right!"

"Fight me. If I win, you have to give me a boost. If I lose, I don't need you to kick me out; I'll go to the Twisted Corridor myself," Ling Shuang said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuang's fans in her live stream went wild again.

Zero's die-hard fan (Chinese): "Zero is so cool! Surely the Bloody Gentleman can't keep refusing her now!"

Lingjie's fan club leader (Hua): "Exactly, exactly! Lingjie has already taken such a proactive step, wouldn't it be impolite to refuse?"

Zero's little fangirl (China): "How romantic! If I were the Bloody Gentleman, I would definitely say yes right away, and then I would lose to Zero."

……

Just when Lingjie's fans thought Xu Feng would agree, his next words surprised all of Lingjie's fans.

"I won't fight. You can go to the Twisted Corridor yourself!" Xu Feng shook his head and said coldly.

The live stream chat exploded again.

"Damn it! What does this son of a bitch, this bloodthirsty gentleman, want? Our Sister Zero has already lowered herself so much, what more does he want?"

"Is he some kind of newbie boss who can't tell the difference between a king and a queen? My sister Ling is a Chosen One with 1800 stats!"

…………

Xu Feng, who was directly involved, had an extremely negative impression of Ling Shuang.

He had no intention of fighting Ling Shuang.

What the heck?

Are you bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

You're a player who only has 1800 points, and you come here to challenge me just because you hear that I'm a newbie boss?

Do you want to trample me underfoot and show off your power?

You're really giving me too much credit.

Judging from the video, Ling Shuang's combat power should be very strong.

She could probably get through the Twisted Corridor and log out of the instance all by herself. The Twisted Corridor was full of small fry, and she could bully them.

The bosses next to Xu Feng were also watching him with expressions of anticipation.

Since he was a newbie boss who was brought in to make up the numbers, it's normal for him to be looked down upon by the other bosses.

Ling Shuang's face darkened completely. She never expected that the bloodthirsty gentleman in front of her would refuse to fight him.

The host, Yuan Ji, was speechless. She told him to try to keep the boss, not to provoke him!

Is this woman out of her mind?

How can someone have such low emotional intelligence?

Yuanji gave an awkward smile and said:

"Female guest, why don't you go to the Twisted Corridor yourself? The Bloody Gentleman didn't accept your challenge, so as a female guest, you have no right to challenge the BOSS."

Ling Shuang's usually aloof and pretty face turned visibly red; she had never been so embarrassed since birth!

He has always been the center of attention, and everything he does goes smoothly.

Almost no one would refuse what she wanted to do; they always went along with her.

However, they suffered a major setback today.

Ling Shuang has always believed that she is the chosen one, and that the world revolves around her.

However, she was rejected by a mere boss in a newbie dungeon?

She took out a magical artifact directly from the God-chosen Space—an hourglass. In full view of everyone, the hourglass floated between the two of them, and the sand inside began to swirl and flow away.

Finally, all the sand flowed into the container below.

"Now I will put the Bloody Gentleman to the test. If I win, you will immediately light up the lamp; if I lose, you will not need to lift a finger, I will enter the Twisted Corridor without saying a word."
