The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

When this woman stepped onto the stage, the bosses present didn't react much; they remained calm.

After all, there are quite a few virtuous women like this around the boss; they are practically ordinary girls.

Think about it from another perspective: isn't a boy with a stable temper, a sense of responsibility, and average looks just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary?

Therefore, the bosses' reaction is quite normal.

Without distinctive features, it's practically the same as having no appeal.

Yuanji noticed that the atmosphere on the field was a bit off, so she smiled and said:

"Now let's watch Lin Xue's video!"

Lin Xue's video message was unsurprisingly ordinary, even somewhat boring.

During the initial impression phase, unsurprisingly, all the lights on the BOSS on stage went out, except for Xu Feng, who kept his light on. It wasn't because he had taken a liking to Lin Xue.

It wasn't because if he didn't leave the lights on, Lin Xue would be dragged directly into the Twisted Corridor.

"This is truly unexpected. The new BOSS, the Bloodthirsty Gentleman, actually chose to leave the light on for Lin Xue. Why would such a ruthless BOSS leave the light on? Is this a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?"

Xu Feng's face darkened.

You idiot, Enki, that's enough!

They kept calling me "newbie boss," not giving me any face at all!

Couldn't I have left the light on for Lin Xue out of compassion?

"Alright, now let me see what the Bloody Gentleman has to say."

Xu Feng stood behind the lamp, looking at Lin Xue, and spoke in an elegant and gentlemanly tone:

Are you confident you can get through the twisted corridor?

Lin Xue slightly crossed her legs and said somewhat fearfully:

"Um... I'm not sure!"

Xu Feng pondered for a moment and then turned off the light.

Lin Xue's expression changed from fear to despair, and even the last BOSS turned off the lights.

Then what awaits him is only a twisted corridor?

Yuanji, holding the microphone, said:

"As expected of the newbie boss! He really has a twisted sense of humor, giving people hope first and then dashing their hopes?"

Xu Feng was speechless. He stepped off the male guest's stage and said calmly:

"Follow me, I'll lead you through the twisted corridor."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the live stream.

Bloodstained Gentleman My Husband (Chinese): "Ahhh! My husband is so manly! His voice is so sweet, it's like my ears are pregnant!"

Ye Shenyi (Hua): "The Bloody Gentleman is too gentlemanly, isn't he? Knowing that Lin Xue couldn't get through the Twisted Corridor, he actually wanted to help her get through."

Family Hero (Chinese): "Family members, who understands?! My Bloodthirsty Gentleman got friend-zoned twice in one day!"

The seemingly cold but secretly sweet Fairy of the Departed (Hua): "If the Bloodthirsty Gentleman were to personally escort me, I'd be so happy I'd faint, oh my god!"

I am the Bloodthirsty Gentleman's Dog (Hua): "Ahhh! Master is so manly, I can't take it anymore."

An unexplained runaway student from the Pseudo-Human Academy: "Prison Master, I want to have your babies!"

…………

Yuanji was also stunned. She never expected that a dungeon boss would be willing to take an eliminated female guest through the Twisted Corridor.

"What's going on? This mere newbie boss is actually planning to take an eliminated female guest through the Twisted Corridor? Is he trying to save a life?"

"This is completely out of character for a ruthless dungeon boss!"

Xu Feng was already immune to Yuan Ji's constant use of "newbie boss," and just thought of her as a brat who needed a beating and kept mocking her.

Xu Feng's lips curled up slightly:

"The rules don't say that the boss can't bring female guests through the twisted corridor, do they?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanji nodded and said:

"There is indeed no such rule, but are you really going to protect Lin Xue?"

"You're just a newbie boss. Although you have the ability to crush Ling Shuang, you're still just a newbie boss. Are you sure you can handle the monsters in the Twisted Corridor?"

Does this little brat mean she looks down on people?

Xu Feng nodded, somewhat speechless:

"Sure."

Lin Xue expressed her gratitude to Xu Feng, saying:

"Thank you, you're a good person."

Then, Xu Feng led Lin Xue into the Twisted Corridor, and soon, an exciting background music began to play in the corridor.

The eeriness inside wasn't that great; it was only enough to be slapped to death by Xu Feng.

Just as they were about to pass through the twisted corridor, and as Xu Feng was about to turn back...

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a dagger pierced through his heart from behind and came out from his chest.

His health bar vanished instantly, and Xu Feng looked back in disbelief at Lin Xue, who smiled knowingly as her scheme succeeded.

This dagger is a magical weapon.

Damn it, you backstabbed me at the evacuation point, huh?!

Who says that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie? Can't ordinary women lie just as much?

Xu Feng collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Lin Xue, who was about to lick the bag, suddenly felt a pang of fear. She wanted to touch the Destiny-type artifact in Xu Feng's hand.

In the instant she felt a pang of fear, Lin Xue casually reached out and, not caring what she grabbed, waited without hesitation to exit the instance.

Xu Feng, who had entered the second stage, sat up from the ground and stared in the direction where Lin Xue had disappeared, falling into silence.

She rummaged around on her body and discovered that Lin Xue had taken the ruler.

Xu Feng was both angry and amused. He never expected that his first act of compassion would be met with betrayal.

Angry? Not really. She plans to confront that bitch in real life after the dungeon ends!

The world is teeming with all sorts of strange artifacts, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river!

No sooner had the Iron Maiden's shadow passed than the Ice Soul Dagger appeared.

Is there any hope for this?!

Xu Feng wanted to curse, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Xu Feng glanced at the strands of hair hanging down in his peripheral vision. Qianpo had taken advantage of the situation to possess him again without saying a word.

However, it's not entirely incomprehensible. After being a soul for thousands of years, what's wrong with experiencing what it's like to be a living person?

Is there a problem?

However, Qianpo did not take control of his body, but instead quietly enjoyed the feeling of being a living person.

These kinds of people are the most shrewd; they enjoy all the benefits without saying a word.

Damn it, what about trust between people?!

Xu Feng, who had just thought that his 72.5 physique points made him invincible, suddenly felt a little depressed.

Come to think of it, how could the female guests participating in a dungeon with a peak score of 1,800 be easy targets?

Who knows, Su Qingyan, who successfully paired up with the night train conductor, might also have a side that no one knows about!

Her black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her black suit transformed into a divine sword outfit that revealed her rounded, fragrant shoulders.

With a dark expression, Xu Feng walked out of the distorted corridor and returned to his seat, feeling the extremely low field of vision.

Yuanji listened with a puzzled expression to the even more exciting background music that marked the start of the second phase, and said:

"Strange, where's the Bloody Gentleman? Could he have been killed by some weird thing in the twisted corridor?"

"Why is it that a cute girl I've never seen before is walking out of the hallway? Is this your seat? You're standing here."
