The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Meanwhile, on a resort island.

Lin Xue felt her heart pounding. Holding the blood-stained ruler in her hands, she felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation return.

She never expected that this bloodthirsty gentleman was so rich.

Any artifact you randomly pick from his person is a fake Destiny artifact.

Lin Xue looked at the destructive power of the pseudo-divine weapon in her hand.

My eyes widened in surprise.

A weapon with ten points of destructive power, and a chance to double the damage?

Does that mean she will no longer be afraid of the small monsters or elite monsters in dungeons?

She might even be able to touch the BOSS!

But when she saw the side effects description, her face turned extremely pale.

One ton of fresh blood per day?

So many?

Where can she get it done?

Lin Xue took out her phone and used a calculator to calculate that if she wanted to buy blood, it would cost one million through legitimate channels and five million on the black market.

This pseudo-divine artifact is not easy to maintain!

But it's not like she can't afford to raise them; she can manage if she grits her teeth.

At the same time, Xu Feng used his position as the person in charge to pinpoint Lin Xue's location.

A dark figure moved at incredible speed, riding the waves towards Lin Xue's private resort island.

Before long, Xu Feng appeared in front of Lin Xue.

Lin Xue stared wide-eyed at Xu Feng in disbelief, her head buzzing.

"You...you're not dead?"

"Of course I'm not dead. You just triggered my second phase."

"How...how did you manage to find the real-world counterpart from within the dungeon?"

Xu Feng smiled elegantly and said calmly:

"Guess why I'm called the escaped BOSS of the Pseudo-Human Academy?"

Lin Xue's mouth dropped open, her face filled with disbelief.

No, how can a boss in a mere newbie dungeon be so cunning?

Not only is there a two-stage process?

Did he even escape from the instance he was in?

Is this really necessary?!

"Will you break it open yourself, or should I do it?" Xu Feng asked with a confident and elegant smile.

Lin Xue, remembering Ling Shuang's miserable state, quickly spoke up:

"Wait! I have no intention of being your enemy. I'll return the bloodstained ruler to you!"

As she spoke, Lin Xue quickly returned the blood-stained ruler to Xu Feng.

A familiar cool sensation came through.

The information about the ruler resurfaced in my mind.

Xu Feng nodded in satisfaction. This familiar panel showed that the ruler was indeed still a useless piece of junk.

He looked at Lin Xue and said calmly:

"You betrayed me, and you think you can get away with it just by returning my things? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Lin Xue saw Xu Feng looking her up and down, and she quickly covered her chest and cried out:

"What do you want? This is my private island. You've invaded my territory. If you don't leave, it's illegal!"

Xu Feng was both angry and amused. When you betrayed me and stole my things, why didn't you say it was illegal?

Now they're talking about the law?

How can people be so hypocritical?

"Oh? You mean I should obediently leave after receiving the bloodstained ruler, right?"

Lin Xue nodded, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Of course you're right. Otherwise, what you're doing is illegal and criminal. This is the real world. Even if you're a dungeon boss in real life, you still have to abide by the law! You'd better leave now, or I'll call the police."

Xu Feng was amused by Lin Xue's ugly face. How could someone be so self-righteous?

"Rules and laws are just rules made by the strong for the weak. What makes you think I'll abide by them? You say this is your private island."

"Yes, legally, this island is indeed yours, but if I don't recognize this legal principle, then is the island still yours?"

"For example, if I think this dollar is worthless paper and has no monetary value, then it has no monetary value."

"Do you know why? Because its value is forcibly assigned by authorities and military forces, but if an even stronger authority and military force were to veto its value, it would become untradeable."

"Then this US dollar is just a piece of waste paper, because they have the complete ability to destroy the former."

"From their perspective, your things are mine, and my things are still mine? You want to use my things to seek my forgiveness? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"From my perspective, Japan is still a province of China! If I have enough military power to forcibly establish this rule, then Japan will truly become a province of China."

"So... do you understand? I will be very merciful."

Lin Xue was stunned. She only felt that the rules allowed her to do evil without being held accountable.

I never imagined that the boss in front of me would disregard the laws of reality.

Feeling the bloody aura and terrifying pressure emanating from Xu Feng, she was truly frightened.

"Please, please, let me go! I know I was wrong!"

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Xu Feng raised the ruler and brought it down heavily.

A moment later, Xu Feng sat elegantly in the restaurant on Lin Xue's private island.

A melodious tune began to play.

Xu Feng elegantly used his fork to pick up a piece of foie gras and put it in his mouth, along with spaghetti and broccoli.

Xu Feng nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, fresh ingredients taste better!

Lin Xue opened her eyes in a daze, listening to the melodious bell ringing, and found herself wearing a fake human academy uniform without her noticing.

She looked confused, as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't quite remember it.

Who am I...?

By the way! My name is Lin Xue, and I'm a new student at the Pseudo-Human Academy.

"Hey, are you a freshman, girl?" Want me to help you with your luggage?

Li Cheng and Zhao Hu stared wide-eyed at Lin Xue, such a stunning girl.

The two brothers came over as soon as they smelled it.

Lin Xue looked at the two enthusiastic, fake senior students in front of her and nodded blankly in response:

"good!"

Then, Zhao Hu and Zhao Hu happily helped her carry her luggage on either side and entered the girls' dormitory.

Huh? That's strange!

These two people were so close to me, they were almost touching me, so why didn't I care at all?

Forget it, I'll just move into the dorm first!

Ever since Xu Feng left, the two brothers have inexplicably become more intelligent.

As Zhao Hu and Li Cheng helped Lin Xue carry her luggage, they said with deep emotion:

"There are so many new students enrolling recently! All sorts of new students, some human-like, some not human at all, have enrolled. Finally, there's a junior who looks like a human."

"Absolutely! Do you know the feeling of salvation I felt when I saw that junior student?"
