Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#627 - Attitude and stance

"Whoosh ~ ~ ~ Ah ~! Hey kid, why are you giving us this kind of beer? What about that home-brewed stuff of yours?"

Tony Stark slammed down the bowl of ramen, then sucked down a mouthful of beef broth, before grabbing a napkin to wipe the sweat from his brow.

Heaving a sigh, he reached for the beer next to him, ready to take a hearty swig, only to discover it was store-bought bottled stuff.

Immediately, he looked at Liang Yue with some dissatisfaction and asked.

"That stuff is too strong. Aren't you supposed to be meeting guests later?"

Liang Yue glanced at him upon hearing this and replied.

After speaking, he casually took out several fruit platters filled with blueberries, strawberries, grapes, and lychees and placed them on the table.

"What kind of beer? Is it special?"

Simmons, the director of Sector Seven, who had just finished his noodles and looked up from his bowl, also wore a satisfied expression and couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

Nick Fury explained from the side, "It's a low-alcohol light magic ale, with certain nourishing effects. What's interesting is that taking a sip can put you in a slightly tipsy state."

Stark didn't forget to add, "But no matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk ~"

Captain America Steve, upon hearing this, was immediately surprised, "So magical?"

General Ross, having just wiped his mouth with a napkin, grabbed a few blueberries from the fruit platter in front of him, acting as if it were only natural, and said knowingly, "Looks like I'll have to come over and try it sometime ~"

Liang Yue: "… …"

… …

After finishing the noodles, Sam, Mikaela, and Natasha very consciously began to help clear the table.

Just as they had finished cleaning up, before the people around the round table could even say a few words, a slightly noisy engine roar suddenly sounded in the distance.

The sound went from far to near, cutting through the night sky, and soon passed through the gates of Liang Yue's manor, arriving at the small square in front.

Of course, this was definitely because Liang Yue had secretly instructed the AI Xiao Wu to temporarily disable the gate restrictions.

Otherwise, even this team of Transformers led by Optimus Prime would probably have difficulty entering and exiting safely under the defensive firepower of his home ~

"Clank clank clank ~!" "Gurgle gurgle gurgle ~" "Buzz ~ ~ ~" … …

Soon, accompanied by a burst of exciting mechanical transformation sounds, four Transformers appeared in front of everyone.

Yes, only four ~

If Liang Yue wasn't mistaken, the dozen or so Transformers that had landed together from outer space earlier should now be divided into at least two teams.

In the self-introduction of this team in front of everyone, the four big guys were respectively, the leader of the Autobots ~ "Optimus Prime."

Optimus Prime's second-in-command "Jazz" ~

Optimus Prime's weapons expert "Ironhide" ~

And ~ Optimus Prime's medical expert "Ratchet".

Plus ~ "Bumblebee", who had already landed on Earth for some time ~

At this time, a total of these five appeared in front of everyone.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that their meticulousness had already been revealed on the panoramic sand table that Liang Yue had previously taken out. Everyone present already understood the number of them descending to Earth this time.

Regarding this point, Bumblebee should also inform Optimus Prime and others afterward.

However, before eating, Liang Yue had already put away the panoramic sand table. The specific whereabouts of the other Autobot Transformers should not be easy for others to find.

In this way, after the two sides conducted preliminary self-introductions and greetings, in the following time, they began to communicate about the purpose of the Transformers' visit to Earth.

What was different from the development in the original plot was ~

Compared to the passionate youth, Sam, who was still a bit of a greenhorn, the group of sector directors, military generals, and independent department heads present at this time were obviously much more difficult to deal with.

After understanding the intentions of Optimus Prime and others, the old guys joined forces to start a negotiation.

And tried their best to fight for the initiative, in order to obtain more benefits in the future.

During the process, Ross from the military was responsible for being tough, while Nick Fury mainly used roundabout tactics, and Simmons from Sector Seven occasionally played the role of comic relief.

But soon, this goofy director was replaced by Tony Stark… …

… …

"Hey ~ buddy, what do you think of this matter?"

Just as those old guys were busy bargaining with Optimus Prime and others, Sam turned his head at this time with a look of incomprehension and asked Liang Yue in a low voice.

Obviously, this was the first time this young man had seen such an occasion where he represented Earth to negotiate with aliens.

"Shouldn't we be more cautious when dealing with aliens?"

"Caution is necessary, but those people have a pirate mentality, subconsciously making predatory contact. But they don't even think about it, with their country's strength and wealth.

Aliens are fully capable of adopting the same attitude as them, taking the lead, and then forcing them to submit. This is actually a problem with the underlying thinking logic of a civilization and group.

When they encounter a truly powerful race one day, they will be the sinners of Earth."

"Uh… is the matter that serious?"

"Barbarians also, fearing power but not cherishing virtue, having small etiquette but lacking great righteousness."

"What does that mean? By the way, when that day really comes, you shouldn't stand idly by, right? After all, we are all human."

"That's what I really hate about them. Right now, they are even calculating me in, and what they are using is my own moral pity and a little empathy."

"Oh ~ that's really bad, buddy."

"Watch, no matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, afterward ~ they will still try their best to exclude me, not wanting me to touch even a bit of the benefits.

So this kind of person is completely unsuitable as an object of interaction, even if it's just business dealings, it will make people feel disgusted."

… …

"Sigh ~"

Regarding the almost unscrupulous whispers of these two in the back, Captain America Steve Rogers, who was sitting next to them, also heard the words in his ears.

Obviously, this well-known World War II veteran in the world seemed to also have some empathy for this, but he was helpless.

On the other side, a certain dog tycoon who had just retreated from the front line, filled his glass with wine from the bottle, preparing to go to the front line again, revealed a playful look after hearing this.

He gently patted Liang Yue on the shoulder, and then, with the posture of someone who had been there, left him with a comforting look… …

However, what Stark didn't know was that Liang Yue was standing at a higher level, expressing his views on this situation, which determined his attitude towards these people in the future.

Rather than simply expressing his dissatisfaction.
