Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"Would you like to taste my freshly ground coffee?" Jizi brought over a few cups of coffee. After all, they were new passengers, so of course she wanted to let them taste her craftsmanship and get their feedback so that she could improve her hand-ground coffee.

The atmosphere where everyone was chatting happily suddenly became inexplicably solemn.

Their expressions froze in front of everyone. Oh, Fu Xuan and Dan Heng had always had no expression on their faces.

Walter escaped under the pretext of going to the toilet.

"Ah--Sister Jizi, I suddenly remembered that I didn't prepare anything for my ceremony at Pinocchio." Xing smiled, "I'll go and get it ready so as not to cause any trouble to you all."

Then Xing escaped.

"Ah - I'll go supervise Ah Xing to pack her luggage. Sister Ji Zi, you know she's clumsy. It will be troublesome if she forgets to bring something." San Yue Qi said with a smile.

Afterwards, March 7th escaped.

Only Dan Heng and Fu Xuan were left. Ji Zi looked at Fu Xuan expectantly. After all, the others didn't matter. The main thing was to let the new passengers have a taste. This was something she had worked hard to improve, and it was definitely different from the past.

Fu Xuan could roughly guess what kind of weapon this coffee was by looking at the reactions of the crowd. But he was the acting general of Luofu. Could a mere cup of coffee really poison him to death?

Fu Xuan elegantly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Cough...why is it so bitter?

"How is it?" Ji Zi asked expectantly. This was the first person who could drink her coffee without changing her expression. It seemed that her hand-grinded coffee had made great progress.

"It's... OK..." Fu Xuan smiled bitterly. Is all coffee so bad? She had never drunk coffee before. Is all coffee so bitter? However, she had experienced coffee that was bitterer than this before, so she didn't lose her composure.

Jizi was very happy to receive such a high evaluation. I told you, I have been improving for a long time. She happily picked up a cup of coffee and tasted it...

Ahem...did I forget to add sugar? It tastes like muddy water.

Dan Heng looked at the two men in dumbfoundedness, shook his head, and walked back to the think tank.

To hide her embarrassment, she changed the subject: "How was the scenery on the train?"

"This is a view I have never seen before. Thank you for your hospitality." Fu Xuan knew Ji Zi's intention to change the subject. It turned out that she couldn't drink this coffee. That was not his problem. He thought that his taste buds were spoiled by Mo Feng, so he felt it was bitter.

"That's good." Ji Zi nodded.

……

When it was time for dinner, everyone in the train crew enjoyed a long-awaited banquet on the train.

After all, this is really rare. After all, on the train, people usually just solve the problem of eating simply. If they want to eat something good, they usually go somewhere else to eat local specialties.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, everyone except Xing and Fu Xuan was more or less surprised. How do you, a commander of an army, maintain your cooking skills?

No one has forgotten the original intention of gathering here at this moment, which is to celebrate the birthday.

According to the custom of the short-lived people, there is of course a birthday cake. So, the meal is just a supplement, and the rest is the highlight.

As time went by, Mo Feng and Fu Xuan became quieter.

Of course, they were looking forward to what the other party would give them.

It was precisely because of a little nervousness that I became silent.

When everyone had stopped eating, everyone knew it was time to get down to business. Xing put the "Happy Birthday" record into the phonograph, and the rest of the people put aside their unfinished food.

This was the first time that Fu Xuan celebrated her birthday like this. After all, the last time it was just her and Mo Feng.

Before this, there was nothing like this in the customs of the Changsheng clan. Birthdays were at most just a formality of saying "Happy Birthday" and that was it.

Before cutting the cake, of course, they had to exchange gifts. The two looked at each other, and before they could say anything, they were interrupted by Xing: "Let our train crew send their gifts first, and leave yours for last."

"Have you prepared any gifts?" This was something Mo Feng had not thought of. They had not mentioned it before, so Mo Feng did not take it seriously. From this perspective, it seemed like a little surprise for himself and Fu Xuan.

"Of course. If you don't give a birthday present, when will you give one? I'll go first - ding ding!" Xing took out a glittering silver mane Iron Guard medal. "Don't underestimate this because it looks plain. It's a Beloberg relic. I heard from Sambo that this medal was given to a hero by the Great Guardian shortly after the star core exploded."

"Ah? Cultural relics?" Mo Feng's first thought was... isn't it bad to give someone else's cultural relics as gifts? This thing should have considerable cultural significance in the local area.

"Hey, the real artifacts won't do that. That bastard Sambo fooled me. This is just a replica. I heard that the real medal has disappeared in the long river of history." Xing laughed, "But the replica is also very fine. You can't find it anywhere else. I'll give it to you."

If it was a real artifact, Mo Feng would not dare to accept it. Since it was a replica, it was a small token of Xing's appreciation. After all, gifts are not about how expensive they are. If Mo Feng and Fu Xuan really wanted something now, they would be able to get 99% of the things that can be obtained in the universe in the end.

After all, the two of them are the leaders of the immortal boat Luofu, and they are well-known and famous in the universe.

"The next one is the ice sculpture I made. There seems to be no snow in Luofu, so I made this." Sanyueqi said, "Don't worry, my ice sculptures are special. As long as you don't open the container, they will not melt no matter where they are. Even if they melt, tell me and I will make another one."

This ice sculpture looks like a mini version of the Luofu Fairy Boat, and its level of detail can be regarded as a masterpiece of a master.

"What Ji Zi and I prepared together are the honors of the Nameless Guests. These are materials that the Nameless Guests often give to each other. Although you can't use most of the materials, they are also a small thought from us Nameless Guests." Walter said.

Then, the only one left was Dan Heng. He pulled out a sharp sword from behind his back with an expressionless face: "It's called Wuhen, an ancient sword I found during a pioneering trip."

Concise and to the point, very much in Danheng style.

Of course he doesn't need the sword, but Mo Feng is also a sword enthusiast. Although he is not as fanatical as Yan Qing, who among swordsmen would complain about having too many ancient swords in his collection room?

"And Pampa!" said the conductor, Pam.

Eh? Dan Heng is not the last one?

"Pam has never been on a train, but at least she has some collections. This is a mini model of the Starry Sky Train. I'm giving it to you, Pam." Pam said.

The gift may be small but the thought is great. If I have the chance to come to the Starry Sky Train next time, I will prepare a small gift.

The two put aside the gifts they had given each other and looked at each other in tacit understanding.

"Who will go first, you or me?" Fu Xuan asked.

"I'll go first." Mo Feng said with a smile, and then took out a small box. Xing knew what was inside, but she didn't tell the other train crew what gift Mo Feng would give according to the agreement.

"Tea fragrance... Dream Fragrance Thousand Years?" Fu Xuan smelled it before he even opened the gift box. After all, Dream Fragrance Thousand Years was his cherished collection, right? But this portion seemed a bit too much.

"Open it and take a look." Mo Feng said.

An exquisite sachet lay neatly in the center of the gift box. With Fu Xuan's keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the base material of the sachet was Mengxiang Qiannian. "It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"

She actually didn't like expensive things, so this was beyond her expectation. Compared to the surprise and joy of receiving the gift, she also had an unknown little dissatisfaction. It was really a waste, but after all, it was his intention, and she couldn't show it.

"Actually... it didn't cost any money... it's a long story." Mo Feng explained. He knew Fu Xuan was famous for being frugal and didn't like expensive things. He told her the whole story of the gift, and then the original intention of making the sachet.

Only such an eternal gift can accompany Fu Xuan throughout his life.

Fu Xuan's original dissatisfaction turned into guilt, with a hint of bitterness in it.

"Silly boy, how can you be replaced by a sachet? This will remind me of you when I see you in the future." Having said that, Fu Xuan still put the sachet away with a smile.

As for the Black Tower...

She said she was not familiar with him, but as smart as she was, she could tell from Mo Feng's brief explanation that it was probably some connection from his previous life. But it didn't matter, as he was Mo Feng now.

"It's my turn." Fu Xuan took out a small box from his pocket, "Would you like to guess first?"

"Bell sound?" Mo Feng keenly heard the sound coming from the box. "A pocket watch?"

"Is that all?" Fu Xuan chuckled.

"I can't guess." Mo Feng said with a smile.

Fu Xuan handed the box to Mo Feng, and as Mo Feng opened it, he took out an exquisite blue pocket watch.

After flipping the cover, a holographic image can be projected from the center of the pocket watch. It is a photo of Mo Feng and Fu Xuan.

"What I want to give you is the time we have left at this moment." Fu Xuan explained, "Time flows, and we are at this moment, forever."

The pocket watch seems to be made of a precious metal, apparently the material from Liuguang Yiting. No matter how it is thrown, it will return to its original shape. At the same time, another function it has is to record images.

"The pocket watch is called [Jing Xinhua]. I thought my gift would be more meaningful, but you are unexpectedly strong." Fu Xuan chuckled and shook his head.

Mo Feng put away the pocket watch: "Then we are tied?"

"In terms of meaning, you and I are equal. In terms of intention, you are slightly better. In terms of value, you are much higher. I lost." Fu Xuan said, "I will win it back on my next birthday, but let's make it clear first, the total price cannot exceed 20 Xundi. This time, we both crossed the line."

Everyone on the train politely did not interrupt the two's time together and enjoyed their sweet moments quietly.

Xing even took the popcorn and started eating it.

Sweet, too sweet, eat some peanuts to help digest it.

What the two exchanged was not just simple gifts, but the rest of their lives.

As time flies, Mo Feng and Fu Xuan also have to say goodbye to the train. After all, they have a lot of things to do in Luofu. Luofu can no longer do without them, and the train crew also has their own things to do.

As the two left, the train returned to its previous state.

Xing and Sanyueqi were tired after a day of play and went to bed early. Danheng continued to amuse himself by compiling think tanks, while Walter looked at the starry sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"What's wrong? Are you homesick?" Ji Zi could guess what Walter was thinking.

"A little bit. After all, seeing them reminds me of the past," Walter replied. "But now, the pioneering journey must continue."
