Mo Di said that this arrangement was also correct. His team's performance at the New Year's Eve dinner buffet was mediocre, and they only got fifth place in that event. Therefore, their individual entry order for this meeting was later, which was to be expected.

He said that during the New Year's Eve party boat race, he focused too much on the rowing performance, giving it his all, which led to his team's performance being somewhat weaker during the New Year's Eve buffet. They lacked good command and coordination, which he took responsibility for. His team ranked near the bottom in the buffet, failing to guess many specific dishes correctly and earning few points. Achieving a top-three ranking in the New Year's Eve buffet required both luck and skill. He acknowledged the VIPs who achieved excellent rankings in that event, but noted that Xiaotongzi's team had a higher score, which he considered very lucky, probably just a slight difference in total score. Not achieving an excellent ranking was nothing to be ashamed of.

I mentioned that these specially made Dragon Year lucky charms produced by Zunyan Longdian are not only precious souvenirs for attendees but also symbols of the Dragon Year lucky charm scratch-off lottery event. Each Dragon Year lucky charm carries a different reward, and there are six levels of rewards in this scratch-off lottery event. Mo Di, you can use your intelligent system to see relevant information about this scratch-off lottery event and learn more about it.

Mo Di said that the activities arranged by the Origin Master and the Holy Return Divine Palace were good entertainment, and he would participate in the activities with optimism and enthusiasm.

He saw the display on the intelligent system's projection touchscreen that the first prize in the Year of the Dragon Lucky Draw scratch card event was 1 billion yuan in prize money. This made his hearty smile freeze for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he didn't continue looking or listen to the intelligent system's introduction, but instead started talking.

Mo Di asked, "Who won such a huge reward of one billion yuan? This is a bit troublesome, as it may affect his leading position in terms of funding for the Year of the Dragon competition."

I said that one of the six distinguished guests attending the banquet at the Dragon Palace would eventually win the grand prize of the first prize in the Year of the Dragon lucky draw. When luck comes, that's how fortunate and triumphant it is. If one could win a prize of one billion yuan, it would be a great help in the Dragon Year competition at the Holy Return Temple.

Mo Di said he only had a certain chance of winning such a huge financial reward. If he did, combined with his existing funds, he would become the defending champion of the Year of the Dragon competition, essentially pre-determining the outcome. He was a little embarrassed, which made some VIPs even more wary. There was nothing he could do about it.

After he finished speaking, he chuckled to himself and continued talking. He said he hoped to win the biggest prize in the scratch-off lottery, and he believed he had a chance and that he could do it.

I told you, Mo Di, that you're the fifth VIP to arrive at the main hall of the Dragon Palace. Four other VIPs have already won their Dragon Year Lucky Draw tokens, meaning they've already selected the first, second, and third prizes in this scratch-off lottery. You have to accept that. Some prizes in the Dragon Year Lucky Draw are super item packs, which are rare items in the Dragon Year competition. Getting such a reward is good. Now, relax, look at the two words you've chosen, and pick the one you think is better. Whatever reward you get is what you get. I want to remind you again, Mo Di, that funds are important and useful in the Dragon Year competition, but having more funds doesn't guarantee a top-three finish. Having a larger total fund is advantageous, allowing for various spending and helping you achieve your goals. However, even with less funds, through hard work, you can still achieve a good ranking in the competition. You need to understand this.

Mo Di said he knew that even if some VIPs received 1 billion or 500 million yuan in competition funds, which was indeed quite good, he was still leading in competition funds in the Year of the Dragon competition. He would still have a great advantage and a good chance of achieving an excellent ranking in that event. He was in excellent condition and had great confidence. He wanted to thank his original master for always taking care of him and looking after him, giving him many benefits and rewards.

I told you, Mo Di, that you're right to think that way. Your competition funds will still be in a leading position, especially the initial funds, which can be very useful at times. When you first came to Zunyan Longdian, I said that the initial funds for the Year of the Dragon competition were important, and that statement still holds true today. You can confidently choose the words for your Year of the Dragon lucky charm; perhaps the rewards you receive will be quite good.

Mo Di nodded and began to think about which word would be more suitable as the name of his Year of the Dragon lucky charm. He considered how to choose.

I told Mo Di that for this selection, you only have two words to choose from: "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness" and "Adding the Finishing Touch to a Dragon." There were no hints or clues. I don't know which Dragon Year lucky charm will have a higher reward. You can choose whichever word you want.

Mo Di said he didn't know which word to choose and asked his master to bestow one upon him. He felt he wasn't a refined and cultured person, lacking the depth and sophistication to delve into the nuances of words. He didn't want to consider the deeper meanings of words, so he asked his master to arrange it, saying he would accept any word, and beg for the master's divine favor.

I mentioned "dragon and phoenix bringing good fortune," a common auspicious phrase used during festivals and celebrations. It appears in gift wrapping and festive attire, and is also a common theme in lanterns and decorative items. In the mundane world, it's a frequently used phrase and theme. "Adding the finishing touch to a dragon's eyes" is an idiom from an ancient historical story. According to historical records, some painters' works were so realistic that the dragon's eyes, originally unpainted, came to life after being added—a miracle! This phrase, full of spirit and inner beauty, metaphorically describes outstanding performance at a crucial moment, almost divine. Both phrases are good. Although they are among the remaining phrases, some VIPs considered them as options, but ultimately chose something else. For this Year of the Dragon auspicious plaque, the first five VIPs attending the event could freely choose one phrase. The sixth VIP could not choose; whatever phrase remained would be given to them. They had no right to choose. After all six VIPs have received a Year of the Dragon blessing plaque and completed certain tasks, VIP Lin Junxuan will receive a Year of the Dragon blessing plaque. This plaque will be for peace and safety, without a specific theme or text. His team of three will participate in the design and adjustment; they can use other words, or none at all. The Year of the Dragon blessing plaques for this Divine Gathering banquet are of similar size and thickness, each possessing its own unique beauty and characteristics, featuring different patterns and designs directly related to the theme. Mo Di, you can choose the word you want; select whichever word suits you best. As for the reward, that depends on luck and your choice; even a mid-range reward would be acceptable.
