The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

After Xu Feng obtained the fifth artifact, the live stream chat exploded.

Wa Xuedi (Hua): "Wow! How many strange artifacts has my Elegant Brother acquired now?"

go学长 (Hua): "Is this the fifth one? Why is this elegant guy such a different style from the other chosen ones in the dungeon?"

"Other chosen ones risk their lives to obtain a magical artifact by sheer luck, but I, Elegant Brother, can obtain one with ease."

"Oh no, did I let my elegant brother get to play on a gold-farming server?"

Tomorrow's Prison player (Hua): "False Man: Survive, together!"

Clever Ice Spirit Takes Over the World (Chinese): "If you don't understand, just ask: Whose chosen one of the gods would casually act as a dungeon boss for no reason?"

Hanabi (Hana): "Hahaha! This is so joyful, so incredibly joyful!"

Soul-destroying billiard racket

Category: Rule-based artifact.

Note: Hitting a monster with a billiard ball using this paddle will cause the monster to freeze in place. The stronger the monster, the shorter the time-stopping period, and vice versa.

Side effects: Using this strange device causes time to stop, and after the time stop ends, the user will be relentlessly pursued by a strange force!

Note: You might try using it to stop weaker monsters and then do whatever you want?

Of course, it's not necessarily true that there are monsters weaker than humans!

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected it to be an extremely rare rule-based artifact. But the side effects seemed a bit too great, didn't they?

At the same time, Xu Feng heard a faint, ethereal notification.

"Congratulations to the current chosen one for completing a special hidden mission, permanently increasing vitality and constitution by one point."

In an instant, Xu Feng felt his bones crackle and his whole body surge with warm currents.

He felt that his reaction time, explosiveness, speed, and strength had all been significantly improved, a feeling even stronger than the boost he had received from the blood-stained spatula yesterday.

Moreover, he felt that his skin was smoother and more elastic, as if he had become more energetic.

Xu Feng felt that he had become more resilient.

If he could only live to be around seventy or eighty years old before entering the instance, then now he could easily live to be two hundred years old.

Xu Feng looked at the character panel that popped up when the data refreshed.

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that the five-piece set of artifacts would have a set effect. But the bonus it gives is too little.

Only 0.5?

Isn't this just giving money to a beggar?

I wonder how much the upgrade will improve my attributes. We'll find out soon during tonight's room check!

After running two kilometers, many humans and fake humans were exhausted and lay sprawled on the ground, like a mass grave.

In order to imitate human nature, the artificial humans also had sweat glands, so everyone sweated a lot.

Ms. Ozelli looked at her exhausted classmates, smiled, and said:

"We'll take a ten-minute break, and then we'll train our reflexes by playing beanbag toss."

When humans and pseudo-humans heard the words "throwing sandbags," they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling a sense of ease.

What?! It's just beanbag toss!

This game doesn't sound dangerous at all, does it?

Everyone wore relaxed smiles.

However, what Ozelli said next plunged everyone into an icy abyss:

"I will try my best to control my strength so as not to break my classmates' hands and feet."

Upon hearing this, all the students looked horrified; no one wanted to have their arms and legs broken by sandbags.

The same applies to pseudo-humans; they also feel pain, but their tolerance is higher than that of humans.

"Bloody Gentleman, you stand opposite me, let's throw beanbags together. Classmates, watch out!"

As Ozelli spoke, a bright, sunny smile appeared on her face.

Every student felt their hair stand on end!

Xu Feng nodded, and then took the sandbag from Ozelli's hand. It was ice-cold to the touch and quite heavy. He hadn't expected it to be a solid iron sandbag.

That's interesting!

Looking at Zhao Hu and Li Cheng, who were winking at him, Xu Feng revealed a cruel yet elegant smile.

As a father, how can I not take special care of my adorable sons!

Aside from liking being a good person, Xu Feng doesn't consider himself a bloodthirsty person.

Although he could clearly distinguish between fake people and humans, he still tried his best to avoid hitting humans disguised as fake people.

"Oh my gosh!"

The screams of Zhao Hu and Li Cheng echoed throughout the entire playground!

The morning's PE class ended in such a pleasant way.

"Holy crap, Brother Feng, you went way too far!"

Zhao Hu said, grimacing.

Li Cheng, standing to the side, nodded and looked at Xu Feng with a somewhat resentful gaze.

"If Dad doesn't be a little tougher, how will you develop your reflexes?"

Xu Feng laughed and took the two brothers to the cafeteria for lunch.

Night fell quickly, and this night was destined to be anything but peaceful, as the cries and screams of the fake people echoed throughout the entire teaching building.

The newly minted Chosen One from China, Ye Ningyun, was trembling with fear. She had heard that everyone in the next dormitory had been dragged away by the Bloodthirsty Gentlemen, and no one had survived.

For the first time in his life, he felt that the night was incredibly long.

Everyone was sleepless that night, including the fake man.

Xu Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the upgraded panel.

This...this isn't right, is it?

How can I increase my overall stats by only 0.5 per level?

That's far too little!

Moreover, the experience points required for him to level up to level three have also skyrocketed to three hundred, which means he needs to kill another three hundred fake humans to reach level three.

No wonder the forums say it's not recommended to hunt monsters to level up, because you need to kill 300 monsters to go from level 2 to level 3?

And all that is for a mere 0.5 increase in overall stats?

This is something even a chosen one wouldn't want to do, right?

No, he has two personalities, and his base stats are twice as high as normal.

Perhaps ordinary chosen ones gain even fewer stat bonuses when leveling up!

No wonder the forums don't recommend hunting monsters to level up.

However, none of these are problems for Xu Feng. He plans to step up his efforts tomorrow night and try to reach level three by tomorrow.

The courses at the Pseudo-Human Academy are cyclical; today's lesson is on simulating interpersonal relationships.

When Teacher Yan learned that Xu Feng was preparing for a banquet that night, he was very happy and patted him on the shoulder before asking him to teach the class.

Xu Feng readily agreed.

Xu Feng assigned extremely simple homework, and every student passed. The classroom was filled with laughter and joy.

By the way, Zhao Hu has started imitating a fox's cry again.
