Chapter 11: The Failed Second Summoning

  Actually, Lin Xuan had wanted to come over and ask questions from the start, but at that time, He Dong had already started getting busy. Lin Xuan could only wait aside, but she didn't know when it started, He Dong's strong self-confidence emitted while he was fully focused on his work deeply attracted Lin Xuan. By the time she came to her senses, He Dong had already finished all his work.

  "Haha, I told the person earlier that I'm new and I'm here to assist him. He directly asked me if I could treat pets on my own, so I patted my chest and guaranteed it's no problem. Then he pushed all the work to me!" He Dong laughed as he recounted what had happened.

  "Haha, it's actually like this......!" Lin Xuan didn't expect things to be so simple, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

  "It's actually like this......!" However, what the two didn't expect was that another voice suddenly came from behind them.

  The two of them hastily turned around and suddenly found that behind their backs, there was an old man in his fifties or sixties who had appeared out of nowhere. It was this old man who had just spoken those words.

  "You...hello, is there something I can help you with?" He Dong looked at the old man who suddenly appeared, and he felt a sense of unease.

  "I heard everything you just said!" The old man said very directly.

  "How can you be like this? Don't you know that eavesdropping on others is very immoral?" Lin Xuan said discontentedly.

  "I am the owner of this pet hospital!" The old man said suddenly again.

  "This... this... sorry, I just had a sudden itch. At the same time, I wanted to see if what I learned is useful!" He Dong thought the other person was there to hold him accountable, so he hastily explained.

  "Hey kiddo, don't be nervous! The person I asked you to substitute for earlier is actually my son!" the old man revealed once again.

  "Ah!" The news stunned both Lin Xuan and He Dong.

  "Hey young man, are you interested in working at our pet hospital?" The old man obviously wasn't following the usual script either, and before He Dong could recover from the previous conversation, he suddenly came out with another sentence.

  "Ah! Me...? Although I've learned a lot on my own, after all, I'm only in my third year of college and not yet a qualified veterinarian!" He Dong said with some incredulity.

  "It doesn't matter, what I value most is your passion for veterinary work. My son is a veterinary doctor, but look at him, he doesn't put his heart into it, and instead spends all day running around with his friends!" The old man said with a gloomy expression.

  "But... but I still have class!" He Dong said regretfully after considering it for a moment, although he really wanted to agree with the other party.

  "Don't worry, I know. Our pet store isn't very busy usually, you just need to come to work after school or on weekends!" The old man said with a confident tone.

  "Really? That's great, thank you boss!" He Dong was overjoyed as soon as he heard it, and didn't even ask how much salary the other party would give him, because he felt that as long as he had the opportunity to get a summoning point, he would be willing to do it even if he wasn't paid.

  However, the other party obviously wouldn't take advantage of him, and soon the old man set a salary for He Dong. Since he only came to work on weekends, the other party offered He Dong a base salary of 800 yuan, with bonuses at the end of the month based on performance. This salary standard was absolutely considered high-paying, which shows that the other party still attaches great importance to He Dong. In addition, He Dong also learned that his boss's surname is Qiao, named Qiao Nian Guo, an old veterinarian who has been dealing with animals all his life.

  Before she knew it, He Dong had transformed from an imposter to a genuine staff member. This transformation left Lin Xuan, the onlooker, speechless. However, deep down, she was delighted that He Dong had gained recognition and appreciation.

  Qiao Nian Guo briefed He Dong on the situation of this pet hospital called Chong Ai, and then left with his hands behind his back. Looking at his expression, he felt excited to have dug up someone like He Dong who was so serious, enthusiastic and responsible about work.

  "Lin Xuan, I'm really sorry. Look, originally I was supposed to accompany you shopping and buying flowers, but in the end, I ended up having to work here, so I might not have time to spend with you anymore!" Today is Saturday, which also marks He Dong's official first day of work, so he looked at Lin Xuan with a guilty expression.

  "So how are you going to make it up to me?" Lin Xuan said, wrinkling her little nose. In fact, anyone could see that Lin Xuan was not angry at all.

  "You said I absolutely can't fight back or retort!" He Dong said with a smile.

  "This is what you said! I'm going to fine you... Fine you to treat me to a big meal after payday!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

  "No problem!" Originally, He Dong felt regretful that he couldn't continue to accompany Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan's words suddenly made He Dong feel a kind of excitement like he had been injected with chicken blood.

  He Dong was someone who had experienced love before, and he had already stepped out of the ranks of a rookie. So now, although he still didn't dare to confirm whether Lin Xuan would fall in love with him, at least he had a chance.

  Knowing that He Dong still had work to do, Lin Xuan didn't stay for long. However, Lin Xuan's departure left He Dong feeling down for a while, until new pets came in for treatment and he finally pulled himself together again.

  It might be due to Saturday, but He Dong was extremely busy on his first day of work. However, the final result was also astonishing. When He Dong re-entered the Pet Space, the bright red number "16" made him so excited that his heart almost jumped out.

  "Let's see what surprise this second-level spirit beast will give me!" He Dong took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and quickly walked to the front of Hong Tao Er, then silently chanted "Summon" in his heart.

  "Huh? How can this be?" However, what He Dong didn't expect was that when he started summoning, the red 2 of hearts actually had no reaction at all, neither emitting golden light nor having a pet appear.

  "Has the summoning space failed? Bai Xue, come out!" He Dong became somewhat anxious, although he had only conducted a single summoning, but the existence of the summoning space had already made it difficult for He Dong to give up.

  With He Dong's order, Bai Xue quickly jumped out of Hong Tao A and looked at the lovely Bai Xue, which made He Dong feel much more at ease.

  "It's a good thing Bai Xue is still here. Since Bai Xue is here, this summoning space should be fine! Is it necessary to complete the four first-level summons before proceeding with the second-level summon?" He Dong wondered, holding Bai Xue.

  "Well, in that case, I..." He Dong thought for a moment, then walked up to Fang Pian A.

  "Summon!" After shouting out these two words, amidst He Dong's nervousness, a golden light emanated from the square piece A, and at the same time, a strange image slowly appeared on the square piece A.
