Chapter 91 The King of Praise

Jazz laughed, and the whole table started to tense up.

The vector was still looking bewildered, its optical lens sparkling and clear. It looked at this and that, and finally repeated, "I really didn't."

The ambulance driver crossed his arms, his cold smile undisguised:

"Given your current demeanor, I wouldn't be surprised if your next sentence started praising me as the gentlest person in the room."

Yin Vector stared at him for two seconds, then actually thought about it seriously: "No, not at all."

ambulance:"……"

A round of laughter immediately erupted around the table.

The vector itself laughed along, and after laughing, it reached out to touch the cup again.

Before the rim of the glass even touched, Megatron reached out and moved the glass of nuclear-infused liquor a little closer to himself.

She paused, looked down at the cup, then looked up at him: "What are you doing?"

Megatron leaned back in his chair, his tone indifferent: "You've had enough to drink."

The vector immediately frowned: "I didn't."

"You have."

"I really didn't."

Megatron watched as she started repeating the same sentence over and over again, showing absolutely no self-awareness, and couldn't help but twitch his lips:

"You're starting to talk in circles now."

Ignoring the vector, just as I was about to retrieve the cup, my movement suddenly stopped.

She stared at Megatron for two seconds, then her mind suddenly drifted away from the topic of the "core ingredients and fine wine," and her tone softened a little.

"...Then you'd better not get angry."

There was a brief silence at the table.

Megatron, who was holding the cup down, froze in mid-air upon hearing this.

The vector didn't notice anything wrong at all, and even moved a little closer to him, the optical mirror sparkling.

"Didn't I get it back for you today?"

"The military region has been given to you."

"Although they're annoying, especially Sentinel Prime, I want to hit him on the head with the Holy Grail."

She clicked her tongue as she said this, recalling her displeasure, "But the result was still acceptable."

Megatron looked at her without saying a word.

The explanation of the vector is still going on, and it's getting smoother and smoother.

"And you're a good person, but you get angry too easily."

"When your optical glasses turned red in the hearing room earlier, I was startled. I thought to myself, 'Are you going to actually blow them all up the next second?'"

She laughed as she spoke, completely unsuspecting.

"But you're actually pretty good too. Decisive, capable, courageous, and quick to act, it's normal for them to be afraid of you."

Megatron: ...This time he really couldn't say a word.

He knew, of course, that she wasn't just being coaxing.

She's clearly drunk now, saying whatever comes to mind without any restraint, which makes her even harder to handle.

Knockout let out a quiet "Wow!" and could barely contain his laughter.

Alita sat opposite him, holding a cup, and her gaze lingered on Megatron's mask, which clearly showed a brief pause, and she almost burst out laughing.

After praising Megatron, the vector nodded with particular certainty, drawing a conclusion to his earlier remarks.

"Anyway, not bad. You're not angry anymore."

Megatron paused for a moment, letting out a few breathy sounds before finally managing to make a sound again.

"Who's angry?"

"You," the vector replied quickly, "you're so annoying."

Even Arcee, standing nearby, couldn't help but turn her head away hastily.

Megatron's mask didn't show many changes, but the hand that was originally pressing down on the glass didn't move forward anymore. He left the glass there and didn't return it to her, which was a relatively mild form of confiscation.

Yin Vector stared at the cup for a moment, but surprisingly didn't try to snatch it again. Instead, he turned to look at Orian.

With that turn, Orion had a bad feeling.

He had just opened his mouth to say, "You should eat something first," when the vector had already spoken first.

"And you."

Orion: ...It's over. He now understood why Megatron had suddenly gone silent.

Looking at him, the more he looked, the more pleasing the machine seemed to him today.

It was pleasing to the eye to begin with, but now that it has drunk some, it looks even more comfortable.

"You're fine too."

Orion smiled helplessly, trying to keep his tone calm.

"Thank you, but please don't..."

"Don't interrupt me." Yin Xiang raised a finger and tapped it lightly on the table. "I'm praising you."

Orion: "...Okay."

He wisely kept quiet.

Satisfied with the vector, he continued.

"You are certainly worthy of the leadership position."

"You can speak, your brain is clear, you think clearly, and you don't just talk empty words."

"And the way you were today..." she said, then laughed as if she remembered something particularly funny, "You were so naughty today."

Orion almost lost his composure: "...What?"

"It's just naughty, isn't it?" Vector said, gesturing as he spoke, the whole machine looking very relaxed.

"When you used your leadership status to confront them, that was it."

"So cute."

Orion's entire faceplate stiffened for a moment, and then, the blue aura of the energy liquid surging from beneath the light-colored outer armor on the side of his face visibly spread up.

The vector was stunned for a moment, then tilted its head slightly.

"You've turned blue."

Orion: "..."

Jazz laughed so hard he choked on his drink, and jack, who was standing next to him, couldn't dodge it.

He slammed his hand on the table after being knocked down: "God Pu, that was amazing!"

Alita had already lowered her head and was holding her forehead; her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Orion was unsure whether to correct "bad boy" first or deny that he had "gone blue."

Because he does have a certain quality, and it was her praise that brought it to light.

The vector, however, didn't realize how dangerous his previous words were at all, and continued to add very sincerely.

"You're so nice, and so cute."

Orion closed his optical glasses and it took him a long time to finally regain his sense of language.

"……Thanks."

"But why don't you eat something first, okay?"

The vector blinked: "Okay."

She agreed readily.

Then, he immediately reached out and touched the glass of nuclear-infused liquor that Megatron had placed to the side.

Orion: "..."

Megatron: "..."

The ambulance driver sneered, "I knew it."

Before this was even fully contained, the vector's gaze had already drifted away again, landing precisely on the sound wave.

The sound wave was not in the front, not particularly conspicuous, and was as quiet as usual.

However, his miniature King Kongs were not very well-behaved now, especially the red and blue ones. After sneaking a couple of sips of the nuclear-flavored wine, the two little ones were at least twice as lively as before, clinging to the edge of the table and whispering to each other, their movements more unsteady than the other.

Yin Xiang stared at the sound wave for two seconds, then suddenly smiled; everything seemed pleasing to her now.

"Sound waves".

The sound waves rise.

"Um."

Yin Vector rested his chin on his hand as he looked at him, the blue-green optical mirror reflected on his screen.

"You're doing well today too."

The sound waves didn't speak, but the gravitational vector continued to move.

"You're always like this."

"He did a lot of work but didn't say anything, and even prepared everything for me in advance."

As she finished speaking, she felt she was absolutely right, and the next word that came to mind was: "a virtuous wife."

Soundwave: "..."

The air around the table went completely still.

Even the two miniature giant robots, one red and one blue, hesitated for half a second before simultaneously exclaiming "Wow!"

The acoustic machine didn't move at all. Only after about a second did it very slowly turn its head to look at the vector, without saying a word.

The vector clearly didn't realize anything, and even tilted its head to look at him, adding very seriously:

"Extremely virtuous and capable."

Xiao Lan couldn't resist any longer and rushed out, grabbing the edge of the table and lunging towards the vector.

"That's right!"

Xiao Hong also rushed over quickly, as if afraid of missing some great excitement.

"Soundwave really cares about you!"

Two small things, one red and one blue, one on the left and one on the right, were stuck to the vector.

One grabbed her shoulder, and the other almost smeared his hand on her faceplate.

Vector: "???"

Before she could even remove them, Xiao Lan had already started pouring them out.

"Pay close attention! Pay close attention every day!"

Xiao Hong immediately added:

"You're still staring at me!"

"He'll watch if you move!"

"He gets annoyed when you're unhappy!"

"He'll be even more annoyed if you get hurt!"

Soundwave: "..."

This time, the sound wave finally raised its hand, not towards the gravitational vector, but towards those two drunken traitors.

Before Xiao Lan could finish speaking, she was lifted up by a hand, and the next second, Xiao Hong was precisely gripped by the back of her neck. The two little ones struggled in mid-air, trying to continue revealing more.

"I really care!"

"He doesn't know it himself!"

"but--"

The second half of the sentence is missing.

With a blank expression, Soundwave pressed both buttons back to their own side, and the entire machine became so quiet it was like a screen with a dead signal.

He was already laughing so hard he was practically doubled over.

Jazz sat beside him, propping his forehead up and wiping away the bits of nut-flavored liquor that had spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The jack next to him laughed as he cleaned up the spilled nuclear fuel and fine wine.

Red Spider, who had been keeping a composed demeanor, finally couldn't help but let out a cryptic "heh" upon hearing the words "high-frequency attention."

Shockwave surprisingly added at this crucial moment: "It is basically consistent with existing observational data."

The vector paused for two seconds, then slowly turned its head back to look at the sound wave.

"Are they telling the truth?"

The sound waves were silenced.

The vector blinked, and the next sentence popped out without thinking:

"It's not an exaggeration for me to praise you for being a good homemaker."

Soundwave: "..."

The ambulance driver raised his hand to cover his face.

Deadfire lowered his head, took a sip of energy liquid, and coughed.

Orion's lingering blue light almost returned.

Megatron stared at the sound wave for two seconds, then turned to look at the gravitational vector. The air pressure in the entire machine began to become quite subtle.

Meanwhile, the vector itself was completely unaware that it had stirred up quite a commotion at the table.

This time, she shifted her gaze and began scanning others.

Red Spider was the first to notice, and his eyelid twitched immediately.

"you."

Red Spider: "..."

"You're pretty good too."

Red Spider's lips twitched: "I don't need—"

"Silence." Vector raised his hand and waved it like a judge striking a gavel. "I wasn't asking you."

Someone at the table started trying not to laugh.

"Although you have a sharp tongue and a penchant for sarcasm, you're actually quite accurate when you speak."

"Moreover, you react quickly, and your brain modules work fast. Sometimes, before I've even thought of that, you've already got the Yin and Yang in place."

Red Spider: ...Is he being insulted or praised?

Yin Xiang solemnly slammed his hand on the table, drawing his conclusion.

"You're just being arrogant."

Red Spider's mask stiffened, and she managed to maintain her noble and aloof expression, finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.

"...Your communication skills have definitely gotten worse since you got drunk."

"But you understood." Vector was satisfied. "That's good."

After she finished speaking, she went to look at the ambulance.

The ambulance driver, upon seeing her expression, immediately thought, "What outrageous thing is she going to say now?"

That makes perfect sense.

Yin Vector stared at him for two seconds, then said with particular seriousness, "You have a sharp tongue."

Ambulance: "...I know."

"You've been staring at me."

"You're always interfering with me, always worried I'll do something wrong. Sometimes you really get annoying when you talk to me."

The ambulance driver's lips twitched: "Then why did you—"

"But you really know how to take care of the machine, and you're very sincere towards it."

"His workmanship and values ​​are impeccable."

The ambulance fell completely silent. Its habitual urge to retort was suddenly cut off by this one sentence.

Finally, he could only reply with a dark expression, "...Okay, hurry up and eat."

The vector satisfies the location nod.

Looking to the side, I saw Ji Dao smiling and resting his chin on his hand, looking like he was thinking, "Can I join in too?"

The vector reader followed the line of sight and exclaimed, "Paint protection maniac!"

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, I like hearing this."

"You're the best talker, and you're also the best at watching a good show," Yin Xiang commented, sounding quite knowledgeable. "There's never a boring moment when you're around."

"And you have good taste."

He knocked her down on the spot and then shook the cup upwards.

I especially agree with this statement.

Vector glanced at Jazz again: "You can do that too."

Jazz raised an eyebrow: "What can I do?"

"You're good at responding, saving the day, making the atmosphere fun, and you have your own principles."

Jazz laughed, his squinting narrowed beneath his blue goggles: "That's a good assessment."

Once she started talking, it looked like she was about to continue pouring out her beans.

Alita was already looking over with her cup in hand.

97 sat up straighter and straighter next to him, the whole machine practically screaming, "Is it my turn yet?"

Even Arcee, Ultra Magnus, and Wheeljack seemed to have made some preparations for what was to come.

Deadfire looked up from the food in front of her, and Shockwave's red monocular gaze finally fell on her.

AZ has already looked up.

Just as the vector was about to speak, "You actually are also—"

Before she could finish speaking, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and gently pressed down on the lower half of her face mask.

Vector: "...?"

Megatron finally lost his patience and looked down at her, saying, "That's enough."

With his mouth pressed down, the optical mirror stared wide-eyed, clearly indignant: "Hmm."

"How long are you going to keep praising me?"

Yin Vector pulled his hand down a little, speaking with particular self-righteousness: "I haven't finished praising you yet."

There was a half-second silence at the table, then someone couldn't hold back anymore.

He burst out laughing, leaning on the table for support: "She actually intends to praise everything."

Jiuqi was all set to sit up straight and listen to his own words, but when he heard this, he chuckled along.

Alita held the cup, a smile playing on her lips.

Red Spider raised a hand to his temple, finally unable to hold back any longer: "Is there anyone at this table who's going to do anything about her?"

Shockwave calmly stated, "Her current actions are causing significant fluctuations in multiple individuals present."

"Do you even need to tell me?" He slapped Deadfire's shoulder hard while laughing.

The vector itself was quite dissatisfied after being stopped, sitting there muttering to itself, "I clearly wanted to continue..."

Megatron moved the glass of wine a little further away, his face expressionless: "Put that thought away for now."

Yin Xiang stared at the glass of wine, then looked at him, and finally let out a muffled groan, somewhat unwilling.

But things eventually calmed down.
