Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"Hey, another year has passed." Luofu's climate is like spring all year round, and the only concept of time is the astronomical calendar, which makes it easy for people to forget the time. But there is one person who will never forget.

Chu Qing, who had spent who knows how many years in Luofu, was strolling on the streets of Changletian.

It was exactly the same as she remembered. Only by experiencing it again could she understand their contribution to Luofu. Luofu didn't feel like it had been through war at all. In fact, the prosperity was even greater than that of Luofu at the beginning of the war.

On the one hand, of course, it was the general's good governance. Fu Xuan arranged detailed policies for every piece of land in Luofu, and appointed people based on their merits. Within a few years, Luofu had undergone earth-shaking changes.

On the other hand, it is fully integrated with the company, because after the Fourth Fengraomin War as a stepping stone, the company has entered a large number of Luofu industrial chains. Although this has made Luofu's economy somewhat dependent on others, on an objective level, it has indeed stimulated Luofu's economic recovery.

But Luofu's economy was not completely controlled by the company as the company had planned. Because of Mo Feng's evil business acumen, under his maneuvering, Luofu's economic alliance slowly recovered from its original decline, and became equal to the company's forces, until now it surpassed the company.

After all, the company is not the only force in the universe. As long as there is meat, the Knowledge Society will also intervene. They are not just academic idiots who can only do research.

To do research, you need money first. In addition to getting sponsorship from companies, the Xianzhou Alliance is also a very good partner.

At this point, the company's previously planned economic control plan has completely failed. Because commercial warfare can never be brought to the surface. After all, the Xianzhou Alliance and the company have a declaration of alliance in the universe. Even if the company has many other shady means, if these things are brought to the Xianzhou Alliance, then the benefits are far less than the harm.

If the anger of the several envoys of the Xianzhou Alliance was vented on the company, even the company would be in trouble. Moreover, if the Star God did not intervene, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. In the end, both sides would suffer losses, and the other forces would benefit.

Chu Qing admired the current scenery of Luofu, but her expression gradually changed from the original comfort to calmness, and finally a little lost.

She witnessed Luofu's gradual decline into destruction.

Because of Mo Feng, Luofu was reborn, and because of Mo Feng, Luofu reached his end.

It should be said that the cause and effect of everything is so unclear and ridiculous. She was not absolutely sure that she could stop it, but she could only try her best.

"After all, I have become your shadow. I am sorry to disappoint you, father and mother." Chu Qing looked up at the sky with emotion.

She had a choice, to join in the joy or to fall into doom.

If she joins the joy, maybe she can live a heartless life, leaving all the troubles to the past, and let joy come to the world. Even if Luofu is destroyed, it is in the past. She is just a mortal, there is no need to bear the pressure on herself.

Perhaps, from then on, she is the new Fireworks.

How many people know about Hanabi's life before she became the Apostle of Joy?

Only when there is extreme sadness can there be false joy.

This is probably the meaning of the coexistence of the Mourning Actor and the Masked Fool.

But that was all fake. Although she really wanted to throw away all her burdens and be her own Xue Ji, but... she never agreed with what Mo Feng said to her that year.

She is the general's daughter first, and Xue Ji second.

Luofu is my home. Some things are more important than my life.

So, she rushed to death and became Chu Qing. The snow had no intention of stopping, and the clear sky had no intention of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

She never lived for herself.

"It's boring." Chu Qing muttered to herself, "But I don't regret it."

She was casually strolling along the streets of her childhood when someone stopped her.

"Hey, here, here, we're short of one person, are you coming?" The voice sounded familiar, and a little nostalgic. Since she came to Luofu, she had been avoiding contact with her acquaintances.

"This poker player has an unmistakable charisma and is a good poker player." Qingque came to solicit customers with a smile. Today was a rare day off for her. One of the poker players she had an appointment with couldn't come due to something, so she had to just randomly invite another one.

When I saw Chu Qing’s mask, it was as if I had found love with her. Yes, she was the one.

Chu Qing did not refuse and was pulled by Qing Que to sit at a card table. Her other two card players were already used to it. Even after becoming a fortune teller, Qing Que's personality did not change much. What was strange about pulling a stranger to play cards?

"Sister, does Di Yuan Qiong Yu know how to do it? If not, I can teach you." Qing Que said with a smile.

“I understand a little bit.” Chu Qing said.

"That's great. Come...I'll be the banker..." Qingque said with a smile.

I'm so lucky. Anyone I pick can play cards without being taught. It seems that Diyuan Qiongyu has become much more popular in recent years.

……

I have such bad luck. Why do I always lose? Is she playing a game?

Strange, why does this feeling seem familiar?

"Self-draw." Chu Qing took a sip of tea quietly, then turned the cards over.

All the same color... all the treasure cards... a clear card in front of the door... self-drawn... what a damn luck! I have been playing Qingque for decades, and I am known as the East Square Ma Cai God, but I have never played this kind of cards.

I hope she will accept the loss... How did I pull in such a monster? Didn't she say she knew a little bit? Why did she seem to know what cards she had, but in the end, either no one could win, or she was the only one who could win.

Her poker partner has become autistic due to losing so much.

Qingque even used divination and still didn't win, he was almost cheating!

The more she looked at Chu Qing's figure, the weirder it felt to her. She felt like a larger version of Fu Xuan was playing cards with her. Really, she must have been possessed by the losing demon. How could this be possible? Hehe.

Chu Qing took the chips calmly.

"Are you coming again?" Chu Qing looked at the depressed looks of the people around her and wondered if she had gone too far. Hmm... should she let the water go a little more? Of course, she wasn't that good. Even if she was good at playing cards, she couldn't win every time, and she couldn't win with such an outrageous hand.

Of course she cheated...

Actually, I learned this from Qingque, but Qingque was too lonely when playing cards, so he never used this method. There was no sense of accomplishment even if he won.

But Chu Qing is different. She feels so accomplished to beat her own teacher who taught her how to play cards. This teacher is also her own fortune-teller, although in the end, she didn’t learn as much from fortune-telling as from playing cards…

Ling Shi is cheating, playing with you? You can't win. But Chu Qing can see that she is cheating and has no experience. If she wins like this, how can she play in the long run? Will anyone play with her in the future? But Chu Qing didn't think of getting rich by this. Why would a dead person need so much money? She was just happy to see her teacher get humiliated.

Chu Qing realized that her dark side hadn't changed at all over the years.

It must have been inherited from my mother.

"Tell me the truth, are you cheating?" Qingque asked casually. First, she really didn't see Chuqing's cheating method, let alone evidence. Second, if this thing was cheating, would she answer "yes"? She's not stupid. It's not like she can't afford to lose a little money. If she loses these few games, at most she will have to pay for her meal, but she's just depressed because of the loss.

"Yes, I cheated." Chu Qing replied.

……

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Qingque stared at Chuqing with wide eyes.

"Well, according to the rules, there should be evidence. But forget it, just take the money back." Chu Qing chuckled.

"Did you really cheat?" Qingque asked. Her other two poker friends were a little angry when they heard about cheating, but when the money was returned immediately, the anger quickly disappeared and they even felt a little happy - it turned out that their poker skills were not that bad.

"It's just a joke, don't mind it." Chu Qing said with a smile, "Are you still coming? We're not gambling. You win if you can figure out how I cheat."

"Row."

Until the sun was setting, Qingque was defeated several times in a row. She even tried to cheat, but was discovered by Chuqing as soon as she started, which made her embarrassed for a while. But later Chuqing simply let Qingque cheat, but in the end she still didn't win. It was really weird!

"Qingque admits defeat." Qingque was completely convinced.

"Thank you. The disciple is better than the master." Chu Qing said.

"What do you mean?"

"Ah, that's boring. You heard me wrong. My card-playing skills were taught to me by my teacher himself, and I trained him as a genuine closed-door disciple." Chu Qing said, "It's normal for you to lose to me."

Cheating is not something that can be done openly...but it's scary that you've openly said you're cheating and there's still no clue, and Qingque has been investigating for a long time but still can't figure out how she did it.

"Who is your teacher? I want to become his disciple too." Qingque said with starry eyes.

People of the same path are worth making friends with even if you don’t become my disciple.

"Well, my teacher doesn't accept disciples anymore. At least not you. But my teacher did pass on the secret of winning to me in the end, and I'll tell you for free." Chu Qing said with a smile.

"Yeah." Qingque listened attentively.

"If we can't win the game, we... can break the game." Chu Qing smiled and split the table in two. Under Qingque's eyes, the card table was split into two halves.

Before she could scream out in surprise, Chu Qing closed the table again, and the Di Yuan Qiong Yu on it fell to the ground.

"Your teacher is very wise." Qingque said with a wry smile. What kind of person is he who overturns the table when he disagrees with something?

"Thank you for the last minute." Chu Qing stood up and prepared to leave.

"Thank you for what?"

"I had a lot of fun today." Chu Qing smiled and slowly left, "See you again if we're lucky."

After Chu Qing walked away, Chu Qing murmured again: "Thank you for your trust in me, my teacher."

Even in death, some things cannot be erased.
