Although he had received two fire magic skills at once, He Dong did not rush to experiment with their power as he had with the Water Ball spell. Instead, after briefly sensing them in his spatial ring, he approached the last third-level summoning medium.
Type: Illusion Beast
Level: Three
Name: Black Mystic Turtle
Race Characteristics: An intangible, peculiar creature with very weak strength, but can merge with humans to produce unusual changes.
Talent: None
Special Skill: None
"Black Mystic Turtle? What kind of illusion beast is this? What kind of changes can this illusion beast bring? Could it be to enhance defense, forming armor or something? If I end up with a turtle shell on my back after merging, that would be quite depressing." He Dong immediately started guessing wildly after seeing the last third-level pet.
Of course, He Dong did not waste time on guessing. He directly merged with the Black Mystic Turtle. After merging, He Dong immediately went to look in the mirror. When he saw that there was no black turtle shell on his back, he let out a sigh of relief.
"It's actually Turtle Breathing!" Having experienced merging with illusion beasts twice before, He Dong quickly found the unusual change. He could now hold his breath for a long time, which reminded him of a term he had read in a novel.
"This Turtle Breathing is quite useful for diving and swimming, but it feels a bit like a gimmick." He Dong had grown up in a rural area where there was a small river in front of his house. As a child, he spent almost all his time in the water and was a very good swimmer, so he did not place much value on the Turtle Breathing ability.
The appearance of the Black Mystic Turtle marked the end of all third-level summoning. The points required for fourth-level summoning were more than three times those needed for third-level summoning, which made He Dong both excited and a bit worried.
Based on his experience and guesses, the higher the level, the more summoning points were required, but the stronger the summoned pets would be. The third-level summoning had already benefited He Dong greatly, and he was sure that the fourth-level summoning would bring even greater surprises.
Moreover, while third-level summoning required fifteen summoning points, the fourth-level summoning suddenly increased by more than three times. This clearly indicated that although the fourth-level summoning was only one level higher than the third-level summoning on the surface, it was actually much more significant.
The huge temptation made He Dong's heart race, but even if he was eager, summoning points were not easily obtained. However, He Dong was secretly relieved that it was now the school break, and he could focus all his energy on the pet hospital. In this way, he estimated that in nearly two months, even if he could not gather a hundred summoning points, he could definitely gather fifty.
Of course, today was the day the school broke for the holidays. Even though He Dong was eager to gain summoning points, he needed to go home first. He also planned to move his family into the villa.
Although their current living conditions were much better than the rural area they used to live in, people always strive for better things. Since there was a better living environment, He Dong wanted his parents to live more comfortably.
However, to move his parents into the villa, he needed to think carefully about the source of the villa. Although he had often given his family money, citing the good business of the pet hospital, he had avoided giving too much to avoid trouble. The most he had given at one time was ten thousand yuan, which still led to his mother questioning him for a whole day.
But even the best pet hospital could not earn a villa worth millions in just a few months. If He Dong could not explain the source of the money, given his parents' straightforward nature, he was sure they would not move in.
"Third Brother, the jewelry you wanted is ready. When are you coming to pick it up?" Just as He Dong was deep in thought, Wang Qiang called.
"Ready? Great, I'll come and get it right away!" He Dong was delighted. He was about to go home, and these pieces of jewelry would be perfect to give to his mother. Imagining his mother's expression when she saw the beautiful jade, He Dong couldn't help but smile. But as he smiled, he suddenly had an idea and slapped his head, exclaiming, "I'm such an idiot! I can tell my family that the money for the villa came from gambling on jade. Besides, in this era, all kinds of miracles happen. People make fortunes from antiques, win big lotteries, and so on. I did indeed make a fortune from gambling on jade, and it can withstand investigation!"
With a solution in mind, He Dong felt even more relaxed. He called on Zhao Xinxin, his free driver, to take him to Wang's Jewelry.
"Third Brother, these jade pieces were all hand-carved by our master craftsmen at Wang's Jewelry. Each piece is a masterpiece!" As soon as He Dong appeared, Wang Qiang eagerly pushed a leather case in front of him.
The jade jewelry in the case was not very numerous, as the two pieces of glass-type jade were not very large. However, even with a small number, there were over a dozen pieces, including bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings, which left He Dong dazzled.
"Too beautiful! Master, this necklace is mine!" Glass-type jade is indeed the best of jade. After processing, even He Dong, a man, was deeply attracted. As a woman, Zhao Xinxin had no resistance and immediately claimed a jade necklace she liked.
"Take it if you like it!" He Dong said generously.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Xinxin was so delighted that she hugged He Dong and gave him a peck on the cheek. However, after the kiss, she blushed and ran away.
Zhao Xinxin was not a naive little girl. The jade necklace she had claimed was made entirely of beads from the blue fairy jade, with 108 beads, the smallest like mung beans and the largest slightly larger than peanuts.
A string of such high-quality jade beads would cost at least a few million yuan at cost, and if auctioned, it could fetch ten to twenty million yuan.
Such a valuable necklace, even though she had asked for it, He Dong had agreed without hesitation, which moved Zhao Xinxin deeply and stirred something deep within her.
"Third Brother, you really have great luck with women! You even managed to get such a high-quality little girl!" Seeing Zhao Xinxin happily playing with the jade necklace, Wang Qiang's face was full of lecherous smiles.
"Cut it out, she's just a little sister! Don't be so dirty, okay!" He Dong laughed and scolded him softly.
"Got it! Got it! She's your little sister!" Although Wang Qiang said he understood, his eyes were full of ambiguity.
Faced with Wang Qiang's teasing, He Dong chose the best response: to ignore it and focus on the jade jewelry.
