In reality, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was not much time left before the second competition of the Lantern Festival, so Bai Lidu said to Sun Shanmou:

"Strategist Sun, thank you for accompanying the battle this time, I will go to the Temple of Literature next, you don't need to accompany me, today's employment can end early, let's leave it at that."

"Thank you here, and I hope we can continue to cooperate next time."

- Team Hint: Ranger Sun Shanmou has left your team, and your team has been disbanded.

- System Prompt: Because you successfully completed the bounty task by hiring the System Ranger this time, and were able to bring the System Ranger back safely, you gained 100 points of Ranger Fame, and because you took good care of Sun Shanmou, your favorability with Sun Shanmou increased by 50 points, and the relationship between you and the System Ranger was upgraded from stranger to enthusiastic, and your relationship with the System Ranger will affect your future employment difficulty and employment costs.

Oh? There is also a friendly system between this system ranger, does it mean that if you can continue to improve the friendly relationship with a certain ranger, you may hire the ranger for free in the future, and even turn the ranger into his regular attendant, Bai Lidu thought about it at the same time, and went straight to the location of the Temple of Literature.

After arriving at the Confucian Temple Alley, Bai Lidu assembled the [Lantern Festival Lantern] required for the second competition of the Lantern Festival on his deputy, and then walked into the alley and came to the door of the Confucian Temple.

In the anticipation and waiting of everyone, the system prompt for the start of the second competition event also arrived:

- System prompt: The second competition of the festival event [Lantern Festival] [Moon Appreciation and Writing Poems] has been opened, please configure the task props required for the event to the main and deputy positions, and then you can enter the Temple of Literature.

Bai Lidu then assembled the wolf pen to the main hand position, and then followed everyone into the gate of the Temple of Literature.

After entering the Temple of Literature, there is an extremely vast courtyard in front of Bai Lidu, the courtyard is full of bookcases, and there are also paper and ink inkstones on the bookcase, which looks very much like the kind of open-air examination room, and directly opposite these bookcases are placed three red boxes, all players who enter the Temple of Literature are all grouped by the system next to these three boxes, and there is no longer any communication between players:

- System prompt: [Watching the Moon and Writing Poems] The rules are as follows: please choose two boxes from the three boxes, and take out a note with the theme of the poem from each of them, and then go to the bookcase to complete the creation and writing of the poem within the specified time limit according to the theme drawn, and the written poem can copy the ancient poem, or rewrite the ancient poem, and can also be original.

After this system prompt appeared, the team of players gathered together by the system began to loosen, and some players took the lead in the three boxes to draw the theme, but more players still stopped and waited, hoping to be more prepared to draw the theme again.

Bai Lidu did not make any preparations this time, and he was not very sure about this kind of competition of extracting double themes to determine the content of the poems, but it was already like this, and there was no point in delaying the time, so he simply came to the box and began to draw the theme, the note drawn from the first box had the word "Chang'e" written on it, Bai Lidu felt that his luck was not bad, although the poems of Chang'e running to the moon were not ready-made, but the artistic conception was easy to describe; Then Bai Lidu jumped over the second box, and pulled out a note in the third box, but the word "Mandarin Duck" was written on it, Bai Lidu suddenly felt a little tricky, but since it was the theme he personally extracted, no matter how difficult it was, he had to write the poem.

Bai Lidu while carrying out the idea of poetry in his mind, while walking to the bookcase with a large number of empty spaces in the courtyard, when close to a certain bookcase, Bai Lidu pondered for a few minutes before finally standing behind the bookcase, according to the prompt, the wolf pen held by the main hand dipped in the inkstone, a white paper appeared in the picture, and the countdown also appeared synchronously, Bai Lidu looked at the total writing time of half an hour, converted into real time is 15 minutes, and his heart has also added a little certainty.

Can correspond to this "Chang'e", whether it is in the pronunciation or the connotation, only its legendary husband "Hou Yi" is the most suitable, and the mandarin duck usually refers to the husband and wife, Bai Lidu's first thought of the "only envy the mandarin duck does not envy the immortal" This popular classic poem, then the rhyme of the whole poem can be considered to approach this sentence, after some consideration, Bai Lidu wrote the first two sentences of the poem:

"Chang'e stole medicine and flew for nine days, and then bent her bow and looked at a thousand years;"

Since it is an activity of admiring the moon and writing poems, this moon is also indispensable, so Bai Lidu wrote the third sentence:

"Two Birds Under the Moon Drawing the Moon Shadow"

In this last sentence, Bai Lidu originally planned to directly borrow the classic poem "only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals", but when he started writing, he felt that this word of envy lacked a sense of substitution and the emotions expressed were not strong enough, so he changed it to "Rather be a mandarin duck than an immortal".

This time, the [Moon Appreciation and Writing Poems] activity not only gave 15 minutes to write and create, but also allowed players to revise the written poems before officially submitting them, so Bai Lidu confirmed the content of the poems he was going to submit this time after reconsideration, and also gave the poem a title:

The Moon and the Duck

[Chang'e stole the medicine and flew for nine days, and then bent the bow and looked at the millennium; 】

[Under the moon, two birds draw the shadow of the moon, and it is better to be a mandarin duck than an immortal. 】

Seeing that there was nothing to change, Bai Lidu chose to submit the poem:

——System prompt: You have completed the creation and writing of the poem within the specified time according to the theme extracted, congratulations on completing the second competition of the [Lantern Festival] [Writing Poetry for Moon Appreciation], your results in the competition will be evaluated and scored by the system, please wait patiently.
