Cleaning, disinfecting, and bandaging, He Dong's movements were skilled and swift. However, even so, after he had treated the injuries of all the puppies, he was a bit out of breath.
"Xiao He, you've really worked hard. Have a drink of water!" Sister Wang, who had been helping He Dong all along, quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him when she saw that the puppies' injuries had been treated.
"Thank you, Sister Wang!" Although he was a bit tired, when He Dong saw the number on the space screen change to five, his mood became so elated that it almost boiled over.
After leaving the stray pet rescue station, He Dong did not immediately return to school. Instead, he found a secluded corner where no one was around and quickly entered the summoning space.
Looking at the four suits of playing cards, He Dong did not hesitate. He excitedly went straight to the Ace of Hearts, extended his index finger to touch it, and then eagerly shouted, "Summon!"
As He Dong's shout echoed, the Ace of Hearts suddenly emitted a strong golden light. Although the light looked very intense, it was abnormally gentle and not at all blinding.
After a couple of seconds, the golden light slowly faded, and the Ace of Hearts returned to normal. However, He Dong was pleasantly surprised to find that an image of a white rabbit had appeared on the card. At the bottom of the card, there were several lines of text describing the white rabbit.
Type: Spirit Beast
Level: 1
Name: Jumping Rabbit
Race Characteristics: A low-level spirit beast with a spirit, the weakest existence among spirit beasts
Talent: Jumping Power
Special Skill: Identify Herbs
"Jumping... Rabbit? What's going on? Is this my first spirit beast pet?" Looking at the rabbit in the playing card, He Dong's originally excited expression immediately fell.
He Dong had very high hopes for his first summoning, and his choice to summon a spirit beast was influenced by myths and legends. In his mind, spirit beasts should be dragons, phoenixes, or mighty creatures like the Black Tortoise, White Tiger, or Qilin. So when he saw a white rabbit, the huge gap between expectation and reality instantly made him feel dejected.
However, this feeling came and went quickly. After all, he had already verified that his strange encounter could indeed summon pets, and this was just his first summoning. According to the four suits of fifty-two playing cards on the walls, he still had fifty-one more summoning opportunities.
So with a single thought, a tiny, snow-white rabbit, no bigger than a palm, magically jumped out of the Ace of Hearts and landed in front of him.
As soon as the white rabbit appeared, He Dong felt a mysterious connection with it. He could even sense the rabbit's joyful mood, and this good mood also infected He Dong, completely dispelling his earlier disappointment.
"Since you are all white, I'll call you Snow!" He Dong held the white rabbit in his hands and said with a smile.
The white rabbit clearly understood He Dong's words and happily hopped around in his hands. Watching the rabbit hop, He Dong suddenly remembered that he could extract the rabbit's talent and special skill. Thinking of this, He Dong quickly mentally said, "Extract."
Instantly, He Dong felt his leg bones crackle like popping beans, and the blood in his legs seemed to boil, giving him a burning sensation.
At the same time, his mind buzzed, and a flood of information surged in.
The entire extraction process, though described slowly, actually took only a few seconds. Then, with his head feeling a bit swollen, He Dong suddenly felt that he seemed to have mastered a lot of knowledge about plants and flowers. No, it wasn't just mastery; it felt like his understanding of plants had become an innate instinct.
At the same time, He Dong also noticed that his legs seemed full of strength. He couldn't resist jumping a few times and felt as light as a feather. In the end, he even managed to jump directly onto a wall over three meters high, which shocked him speechless.
"This is amazing! This jumping power is just like the legendary light kung fu!" He Dong jumped down from the wall and then back up again, playing to his heart's content.
"Why not run back to school like this? Just like parkour!" As He Dong was enjoying himself, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.
He Dong's athletic skills were actually not very developed, but he was very passionate about sports. In college, he joined several sports clubs, such as parkour, rock climbing, martial arts, and basketball.
However, he was not very good at any of these sports, and his level was even below average, making him a well-known sports klutz at school, which was a significant blow to him.
But now, after extracting the Jumping Rabbit's talent, He Dong's spirits lifted. He tentatively tried a few parkour moves, such as precise long jumps, wall runs, wall climbs, cat leaps, and gorilla jumps. These moves, which had previously seemed insurmountable to him, now felt effortless.
This made him hesitate no longer. He started with a slow jog, then sped up, running, climbing, jumping, and rolling... He smoothly performed a series of dazzling parkour techniques.
"When will this traffic jam end? This is my first independent interview, and if I'm late, I'll lose all my dignity and face!" Zhou Lingling looked at the traffic jam in front of her, feeling frustrated and complaining.
"Just wait patiently. The traffic police are probably clearing the way!" The driver, a middle-aged uncle, seemed very calm, as he often experienced such situations.
"No, I can't sit still. I'll go and check too!" Zhou Lingling noticed that many people from the cars around her had gotten out to look ahead, so she opened her car door and got out as well.
However, the line of cars was so long that it seemed to stretch endlessly, which made Zhou Lingling even more depressed. But at that moment, a figure darting quickly through the cars caught her attention.
"Wow, who is that? Playing parkour here?"
"Damn, that's amazing! Did you see that? He jumped over two cars!"
"Is he even human? Look at his moves; it's like a superhero! Amazing."
"This is a parkour master, definitely! I want to be his disciple! Master, I'm here!"
"Eight戒, stop shouting! Your master is about to ascend!"
"..."
Not only did Zhou Lingling see this figure, but many others around her did too. They all stared with wide eyes, shouting in excitement, and a few quick-witted people even took out their phones to take photos.
Seeing those taking photos, Zhou Lingling suddenly had an idea. She quickly took out her camera from the car and started filming the figure, with several grand titles flashing in her mind: "Traffic Jam Parkour King!" "Parkour King Shows Off Skills in Traffic Jam!"
