I said, Fanxingkong, you are truly sentimental and affectionate. Some of your ideas are quite unique, and some are quite romantic. It's truly rare to find someone who can enter your heart and gain your attention. Some mortal figures are completely gone, irretrievable and irreversible. If you are willing to cherish and remember them, perhaps their stories haven't disappeared entirely. According to your own thoughts, having experienced pure and beautiful true feelings is truly wonderful; it makes your life in this mortal world worthwhile. Some ideas are good, but in reality, they might be quite ordinary and mundane, lacking the brilliance and beauty of the past. Now, I can tell you that the reward value of the Dragon Year lucky charms with the phrases "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" and "Divine Dragon in the Abyss" is significantly different. The reward for the "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" Dragon Year lucky charm is average, while the reward for the "Divine Dragon in the Abyss" Dragon Year lucky charm is quite good. It depends on which phrase you choose, Fanxingkong, to create a gift for the conference. For Dragon Year lucky charms with a preferred meaning and high reward value, you can only choose one; you can't choose both. Sometimes, it's difficult to have both love and career; you always have to make choices and prioritize certain aspects.

Fan Xingkong said he liked the auspicious meaning of the phrase "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity," and he did want to choose this Dragon Year Blessing Pendant. However, in order to better participate in the Dragon Year competition, he needed more competition funds. He couldn't be arrogant just because he had more funds and some props and gift packs. He must not underestimate the other contestants, as they were all capable. None of the VIPs participating in the Dragon Year competition were weak in their abilities. Perhaps the VIPs would all perform very hard and strive for excellence in the Dragon Year competition, making it highly competitive. Therefore, he decided to choose the Dragon Year Blessing Pendant with its valuable reward, "Dragon in the Abyss," and asked the original owner to bestow this Dragon Year Blessing Pendant upon him. He was deeply grateful for the blessing and reward.

He expressed his gratitude to the Source Master for his care and favoritism. He said that if it had been a single selection instead of a double selection, the Dragon Year Fortune Talisman he chose would likely have been the one with the lower reward value, and he would have truly lost the opportunity to receive a good reward. He thanked the Source Master for his kindness, saying that it was a help to him and that the Source Master was intentionally giving him a good reward. He understood and was grateful for the Source Master's kindness.

I've bestowed this Dragon Year auspicious plaque upon you, Fanxingkong. Now, use your intelligent system to select the divine material for crafting the plaque. Huazhu has already chosen Dragonfire Red Agate. The remaining five materials are Rainbow Crystal with Golden Veins, Lustrous Gold, Precious Silver with Colorful Brocade, Magnificent Pearl, and Warm White Jade. These are all high-grade divine materials available in the Flying Dragon Flower Palace, and will be the best materials used in the palace's New Year's interior architecture. A small amount will be used to create the Dragon Year auspicious plaques on-site. Each divine material is of the same grade and can be preserved for many, many years; the only difference is the material itself. It's first-come, first-served, depending on which divine material you choose.

Fanxingkong asked if the original owner had any recommendations for these divine materials? He suggested a dragon-themed amulet that would be very suitable for the phrase "dragon in the abyss," believing it would be a good match.

I said there were no recommendations; the guests could choose the materials for their own Year of the Dragon amulets. The smart system would allow them to examine the details of each material, have a real feel for it, and choose whichever material they felt was best. With five options, they should be able to make a good choice. Fanxingkong, you yourself are a divine master, why would you need recommendations? You know which materials are suitable; you have your own ideas and preferences.

Fanxingkong carefully examined the candidate divine materials using his intelligent system. For a moment, he was unsure which one to choose and asked for some time to review and select from the various superior materials.

It's clear that Fan Xingkong has become more meticulous, carefully selecting which divine material is more suitable for his Year of the Dragon amulet. He doesn't just choose randomly; it has to be approved by him.

I said that if it's a Year of the Dragon auspicious pendant featuring a dragon and phoenix, then of course a high-quality, shiny gold would be suitable. Jade or crystal would also be acceptable, but there are many gold ornaments with dragon and phoenix patterns; they've been a common decorative combination in both ancient and modern times. As for the Year of the Dragon auspicious pendant featuring a dragon in the abyss, you'll have to choose for yourself. Consider whether to use gold, silver, jade, or crystal; whatever you like is fine. After all, it's your own souvenir, so it should suit your taste. Fanxingkong, you've already chosen the "Dragon in the Abyss" pendant, so don't regret not choosing the "Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness" phrase. Each VIP will only receive one Year of the Dragon pendant this time; exchanging these souvenirs is not allowed.

Fan Xingkong said he doesn't regret his choice. He also finds the phrase "Divine Dragon in the Abyss" to be a good one, and he will cherish and preserve this Year of the Dragon amulet for a very long time. The Cosmic God should focus on his career. Possessing divine essence, the phrase "Divine Dragon Rising from the Abyss" signifies great success—what a wonderful meaning! Those at his level know that they need considerable strength and ability to survive. As long as he diligently manages and maintains his cosmic power and territory, he will have a glorious and sacred future, infinitely bright and promising. Consider which divine material is most suitable for making this Year of the Dragon amulet. Gold and silver symbolize wealth and high-class, but they might seem a bit vulgar. Gemstones and jade, on the other hand, exude spirituality and inner beauty. Natural materials, with their unique patterns and textures, are more suitable.

I said, don't underestimate gold and silver products. In the mortal world, gold jewelry has already risen to around 1,000 yuan per gram this year, and investment gold bars have reached a high price of over 700 yuan per gram. Gold, this long-established aristocratic rare metal, has once again become very expensive, recognized as the most expensive metal in the entire mortal world. The key is that this material enjoys global esteem and recognition, symbolizing and circulating wealth—this is what makes gold so precious. I remember, more than ten years ago, when I first started working, gold jewelry was only around 200 yuan per gram. During promotional events, the price could be further reduced; for example, buying 1,000 yuan worth of gold jewelry might get you a free gram of gold or a discount. Back then, gold prices were low; although still relatively high, they weren't that high. Jade and amber, on the other hand, were very expensive then. Now, the situation is reversed. This year's gold jewelry prices have reached a record high, and many shop assistants repeatedly say that the price of gold jewelry will continue to rise. However, whether this is true or not is hard to say; it depends on changes in international gold prices.

Things can change, so we need to have some expectations and be able to cope with them.
