UC will eventually reach the stars

Tim Ray is a very career-oriented person; family would definitely not come before career!

"Okay." Ye Yun quickly glanced at the inspection confirmation form, then walked to the Gundam to conduct his own pre-deployment inspection. This was Ye Yun's requirement for every MS pilot he taught: to complete the MS inspection as carefully as possible so that they would be less likely to encounter any strange or unexpected situations after the sortie. Even Amuro was forced to follow this requirement.

"What did you two talk about just now?" Tim Ray turned to Gao Yun and asked. He had noticed Gao Yun whispering with Ye Yun earlier and was curious to know what they had discussed.

"...Ye Yun proposed an idea: since the mass-produced V-Operation units are going for high performance, we can sacrifice some performance. For example, we probably won't make it to the Odessa campaign, so we can simply focus on space. This way, all the complex mechanisms needed for ground warfare can be eliminated, and..." Gao Yun looked intently at Tim Ray, "If V-Operation performs well in the final battle in space, we might be able to turn the tide later."

"...Focus on space warfare?" Tim Ray nodded. If they abandoned the equipment added for ground battles and focused on space warfare, just stacking ordinary armor plates alone could increase the RGM79 production model's defense by 30%, which seemed to be one of the optimal solutions in a sense. "But they're giving up a lot."

The amount of energy abandoned isn't much; there's no need to guess, just a conservative estimate. In the future, the Federation Forces will definitely need to maintain a certain number of mobile suits capable of fighting on both ground and space battlefields. If Project G abandons ground combat capabilities, then they will miss out on procurement orders for this unit.

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, most of the battles in the future will take place in space. The ground battlefield... the Federation Army will not allow large-scale war to happen again." Gao Yun clicked his tongue. Continuing to fight against Project G like a headless fly, there was no chance of winning in Operation V. If he could make a name for himself in space, it might not be a bad thing.

"...I'll do my best!" Dr. Tim clenched his fist tightly. After that argument with Kinias, he had been thoroughly aroused and his competitive spirit was strong. If given the chance, he really wanted to win.

"Gundam Unit 1 is about to undergo testing. The area is cleared. Gundam Unit 1 will enter and exit through the auxiliary cargo gate. The guard team is ready to provide support." At this moment, the announcement that the experiment was about to begin came over the loudspeaker.

"Is this to test the data of your adjusted flight in space?" Gao Yun watched as the Gundam Unit 1 stepped off the maintenance platform, casually took the beam rifle from the side, hung it on his back waist, and then carried the 380 out the door. He twitched his lips. "I don't think we're going to conduct weapon data testing today."

“Yes! But… it seems like we don’t need to test him.” Tim Ray glanced at Gao Yun. “To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that the Federation Army Headquarters actually sent him here, and he’s helping us as if he has no qualms at all. The previous battle data… even if it had been slower, it would have been completely different from the impact we have now.”

Two Musei, Zaku IIs, and possibly the newly deployed high-mobility Zaku IIR series by the Zeon forces, were all annihilated by Ye Yun piloting Gundam Unit 1 with ease. After this battle, Operation V, which previously had a somewhat poor reputation, suddenly seemed to shine and gained the attention of the Federation Forces headquarters.

"Probably... because he told the truth that no one believed." Gao Yun looked at the back of Gundam Unit 1 and sighed. "Ye Yun's identity is there. Everyone subconsciously felt that Ye Yun's participation in the Earth Federation Forces was a political statement and an effort to gain benefits for Ye's Heavy Industries and Dawn. But... if you still don't believe it now, then you are really letting down the victories he achieved on the battlefield."

At this point, Gao Yun shook his head. He did believe that Ye Yun really wanted to crush the Zeon on the other side, but so what? He, Gao Yun, was the commander of Operation V. He dared to believe it, but the people behind him didn't want to believe it!

“None of that matters for now!” Tim Ray said calmly. “The final stages of Operation V are underway. After that, it depends on whether Kinias fulfills the agreement. If they delay after getting Unit 1, they can easily drag our progress into the post-war period, since we are two separate systems.”

After all, the core contents of Operation V and Project G are almost completely different, and even Tim Ray cannot say that he is confident in successfully combining the key products of the two projects.

“But Ye Yun’s suggestion today might already be enough to warrant us giving up this No. 1 unit.” Gao Yun said with a smile. Although he was not a technical developer, as the development director of Operation V, he naturally understood the technology. Although Ye Yun’s proposal did not involve specific development, it had in fact solved the key problem of the future development direction of Operation V.

Of course, Gao Yun had already thought of what Ye Yun was saying before. In the future, the main battlefield for the Earth Federation Forces' MS applications would most likely be in space. Therefore, the space-specific type is, in a sense, optimized for the main application scenario.

“A fine young man. Kinias must have listened to his advice quite a bit to achieve his current success.” When Tim Ray said this, Gao Yun was speechless and started rolling his eyes.

Ye Yun understands MS usage, but he doesn't understand the technology, that's for sure. Tim Ray's statement only shows that as long as he can step on Kinias, he'll do whatever he wants, right?

"So, do you have a plan?" Gao Yun didn't argue with him and went straight to the point. "Our time is very tight. If we can't put it into use as soon as possible... Ye Ning won't just let the market sit there."

"We already have a general idea. Just like short swords don't pursue excessively high defense, we can basically eliminate the investment in Luna Titanium. The shields are readily available. We just need to make them understand the importance of the shields. Maybe reducing the weight will also increase some mobility."

So, we're making lightweight modifications to the GM base model. Their particle canister idea is good, and I've already started designing particle canisters for beam rifles and beam spray guns. This will also solve the endurance problem, thus reducing the price of beam weapons and eliminating the need to purchase such large quantities.

"Simply put, it has better mobility, a much lower price, and can maintain the use of the Mega Particle Weapon while achieving better combat endurance?" Gao Yun was stunned for a moment. It has to be said that the "collision" between the two technical experts has really sparked some very good ideas. Just listening to this, Gao Yun felt that this GM might have more potential than the original GM model that was previously tested.

"Colonel Ye Yun has begun mobility testing! But there's been a slight mishap..." The technician rushed over, his eyes filled with excitement.

"What's wrong?!" Tim Ray took the data panel handed to him, and after just one glance, his eyes began to twitch violently, his face full of disbelief. What the hell was this?

"Hiss..." Gao Yun also glanced at it. Ye Yun and the short sword 105 that accompanied the attack were directly clashing swords quickly in space (of course, they were electric swords without heating). Both of them flew out fancy movement curves in space.

"Obstacle course flight?" Gao Yun asked immediately, as this was their most important experiment today!

"He finished the flight in just two minutes. Colonel Ye Yun said the difficulty was too low, and then he started a space combat battle with Gao Long next to him." The technician clicked his tongue and continued, "Colonel Ye's performance exceeded our design specifications by more than 10%..."

"Record it! Record it! What are you all standing there for! Start data analysis and support immediately! This is the Federation Army's most powerful trump card! Do you think we can spare that much time?! Idiots! Hurry up and record and analyze! See if we can provide any help to Ye Yun." Tim Ray roared loudly. Ye Yun's victory meant his V-Operation was powerful, didn't it?!

"Yes! Yes! We'll get started right away." After being scolded, the group of technicians, who were still staring with their mouths agape, hurriedly began their work.

Chapter 157 V Combat Practice Test and the Trouble with Phase 3 G

"Missile launch..." Several Swordfish launched a synchronized salvo of missiles in space.

"Hiss...whoosh...finally it's my turn!" Sima slammed down on the pedal, and the thrusters on the back of Gundam Unit 1 went into full power, the terrifying G-force instantly slamming Sima into the chair.

Sima not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but instead grinned, revealing a fierce smile! Pull up! Pull the trigger amidst the surging G-force! The mega particle beam pierced through the foremost missile, and the explosion instantly affected several other missiles nearby.

Then, Gundam Unit 1, which was flying with afterburner, showed no signs of stopping. During its rapid flight, it would fire a mega particle beam at the moment of each turn, and then take away one or more missiles.

“Every ace’s piloting data is completely different…” Tim Ray looked at the battle on the screen and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Ye Yun's skills are somewhat similar to Gao Long's, since both of them initially honed their MS piloting skills little by little from industrial machines. During their training, they basically practiced together and then worked on detailed data modifications with Kinias, so they were trained using the same system.

However, when it comes to individuals, their reaction actions are completely different. For example, in close combat, Gao Long prefers to stab, while Ye Yun prefers to slash.

"Oh...oh! Oh!!! You dodged it! You successfully evaded all the missiles!" The entire test site erupted in cheers. Simakarahou fired and detonated the missiles while moving at high speed, using various obstacles to break the lock-on. In the end, he successfully piloted the Gundam and dodged the attack of more than twenty missiles without even getting a scratch.

"He actually dodged it... What a pity. The entire operation and reaction are basically of no reference value for beginners. Those who can do it are already elite level." Tim Ray said with some regret, "But Ye Yun doesn't show that terrifying dominance on the battlefield right now."

Undoubtedly, everyone was already thinking about the terrifying dominance Ye Yun had displayed in the previous battle. A Gundam and a Dagger 105 as wingman wiped out an entire enemy fleet. The powerful force of the beam weapons equipped on the mobile suits was demonstrated in Ye Yun's attacks. The completely unprepared Zeomsey was completely destroyed by Ye Yun's beam rifle fire.

However, the combination of Ye Yun and Gundam Unit 1, which possessed such terrifying dominance on the battlefield, did not demonstrate such overwhelming dominance in the tests.

So Ye Yun simply suggested that everyone take a test drive and see what they think.

In order to avoid interference with the testing, each person was tested on one subject at a time. When it was Xima's turn, it was the super maneuvering test, and the result was quite good.

But as Tim Ray said, these ace statistics, if not embellished, are of little use to beginners. After all, there is a huge gap between knowing what to do and being able to do it, which is the very purpose of driving training.

"That's enough. This shows us roughly the potential of MS, and how far we can go in fighting V. This at least widens the gap between us and Project G." Gao Yun took a deep breath, his face beaming with joy. Being able to prove his excellence was a success in itself, perhaps...

Of course, if it could be proven that the difficulty in achieving this success did not lie with Ye Yun, but with some other excellent test flight team, then Gao Yun would probably be even happier.

“It wasn’t him. They were probably already at risk when they encountered the Zeon attack earlier,” Dr. Tim Ray said with a solemn expression. “The two Musai were most likely trying to hunt down the Salamis-class ships that had run out of ammunition and energy. Those two Salamis-class ships were already damaged and their mobile suit combat power was not very sufficient. We must admit that if it weren’t for Ye Yun and the others, and someone else had been escorting the White Base, the worst-case scenario might not have been that we lost the White Base.”

"Hmm." Gao Yun imagined the scene. If it were a group of test pilots with mediocre skills, the White Base could very well be sunk or even captured. In either case, the loss of the key test MS would be a devastating blow to Operation V. Forget about competing with Project G; they would just be wiped out.

"Anyway, we have to thank Ye Yun for this round. Our V Operation has almost perfect display data!" Dr. Tim Ray smiled very happily, clenching his fist as if he had really won the victory.

——————————————————————————————————————

"The data Ye Yun sent back is truly astounding. The actual results of Operation V are terrifying. No wonder Tim Ray had the confidence to challenge you; he really has something to offer." Ye Ning sat on a chair behind Kinias, legs crossed, his eyes gazing dreamily at something in the distance.

But he was only challenging Kinias!

What Kinias has is far more than a single Gundam can compensate for! After all, it's easy to calculate which has the greater advantage between 1 and 5!

Ye Ning wasn't looking at the unfinished MA with that huge-looking heavy cannon. According to Kinias, it would take at least another month to complete the construction, and then another month or two for careful adjustments before it could be put into trial use. Perhaps then, it would be a good opportunity to test it out in front of the Federation Army.

It wasn't the battlefield taxi that Ye's Heavy Industry created because of a theoretical, real-world need! To put it bluntly, the reason this thing turned out this way is because when Ye's Heavy Industry was initially developing the ground version of the high-mobility backpack, they discovered that the propulsion unit they manufactured was far too powerful, not the kind of propulsion a short sword should have, so they had to abandon it.

But for Ye Ning right now, none of this is the most important thing. To put it bluntly, in Ye Ning's eyes, this thing is just a big toy to satisfy his younger brother's desire to kill Zeon and for Genesis to take revenge on Zeon. Whether it makes money or not, Ye Ning doesn't care at all.

So what Ye Ning was looking at was the row of MS being manufactured on the left! Because he clearly knew the three-step plan that Ye Yun and Kinias had discussed, Ye Ning had never worried about Operation V from the beginning. Just kidding, when the Dagger 105, as the second phase of Project G, began to roll off the production line in batches, Ye Ning was already certain that they had won! Performance, price, they all had outstanding advantages.

Now, the third phase of Project G seems to have only just caught up with the starting point of Operation V.

However... behind the third phase of Project G is a stockpile of over 4000 short swords of various types! Operation V has even been forced by the logistics department to use Project G's operating system and vulnerable components such as limbs. Under such circumstances, how could Project G possibly lose!

Not to mention... oh~ the moment these five units were completed, it officially declared that Project G had leveled all its advantages with Operation V!

GAT-X101决斗、GAT-X102暴风、GAT-X103迅雷、GATX-104禁断、GAT-X105强袭。

Yes, it has already begun. In the underground laboratory of Dawn Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Company, Kinias has begun to use the stockpiled Luna Titanium to cast the "next-generation technology demonstrator" of the "Gundam" specifications mentioned by Ye Yun, which is the result of the integration of G Project technologies.

Yes, Ye Ning has already set his sights on next-generation mobile suits. The military industry business from this war is no longer enough for Ye Ning, and his market share will definitely shrink rapidly after the war, so if he is not well prepared, what orders will Ye Ning be able to win back?

Of course, you can also say the opposite: "You haven't even made the most basic preparations! What makes you think you can compete with me?" BY Mou Ning.

"Yes, the latest data we've received includes test piloting data from all of Ye Yun's subordinates who went there, and it's based on actual Federation MS combat training. This is the most realistic combat data available." Kinias looked at the Gundams being assembled not far away with a satisfied expression. However, for some reason, the fastest progress wasn't with the theoretically simplest structure, the GAT-X101 Duel, nor with the Strike Gundam using the backpack system, but rather with the relatively complex GAT-X102 Blitz Gundam!

It's highly likely that Ye Yun's situation in the universe is dangerous enough, so even though Ye Ning says he doesn't care about Ye Yun's life or death, he keeps nagging Kinias, asking him if there's any good way to make Ye Yun's combat power stronger. Ideally, even if Ye Yun participates in battle, he shouldn't go to the front line, and his performance advantage could also be used to teach that arrogant guy a lesson. Kinias is so annoyed that he wants to kick Ye Ning out of the laboratory.

"Performance-wise, there aren't any major issues with the third phase of the design; we can basically guarantee a win." Kinias suddenly seemed to remember something, glanced at Ye Ning, and said with a hint of helplessness, "The delivery speed of the Minovsky particle furnaces is indeed a bit slow and insufficient. According to the normal schedule, I should have received enough Minovsky particle furnaces to assemble two G-level units by now, not like this!"

"I apologize, this was my oversight. The Federation Army is preparing a production line for Operation V, and they're holding back a bit. I'm contacting Takim right now. If all else fails, we'll use the new type of battery to manufacture the Storm's fuselage first. Once the furnace arrives, we can install it directly on the backpack. The progress has to be delayed a bit." Ye Ning's smile was somewhat bitter. "And the final cost is too high. To be honest, it's not our usual style."

"It's okay. We're only using these five units right now, so the high price doesn't matter. You still have time to make adjustments. It's just that the Federation requires us to maintain the ability to use batteries in future mass-produced models, which is a bit troublesome."

"But not many, right? After all, the new battery technology developed for the next generation has been completed. As long as the cost reduction and modification are completed, the group behind Operation V will have no chance."

Chapter 158 Spectator Test

"Shortsword Type B, Amuro Ray! Attack!" The clear voice rang out, followed by a sudden silence in the entire testing hall. Everyone turned to look at Tim Ray, who stood before the main testing platform. The entire base now knew that Tim Ray's son had been detained by Ye Yun because of certain events.

At first, some people felt unconvinced. After all, Tim Ray was the head of their V Operations development team. What kind of behavior was it for Ye Yun to be carrying someone else's son?! If it weren't for Tim Ray, who didn't react, they would have already started making a scene.

But soon, they realized that Ye Yun wasn't detaining the kid at all; he was clearly teaching him, and he seemed quite serious about it. After all, Ye Yun and his team always brought Amuro along for any training session. And they'd seen Amuro bent over, following the mechanics Ye Yun brought, maintaining the Short Sword Type B—what was he planning?

And Amuro, such a small guy, can understand the complex engineering structure of a mobile suit? He can even operate and repair it?! Huh? What kind of extraordinary talent is that?

(According to the old UC data, Amuro just read the manual and piloted the Gundam to fight against Zeon, making the Zeon ace scream in pain; according to the supplementary data, Amuro actually studied the technical data of the Gundam in detail, the data of the most advanced technology and weaponry of mankind. This is equivalent to a 14-year-old boy studying the data of ginkgo leaves and even coming up with some insights. It's hilarious... It's hard to say which is more outrageous.)

But when all the technicians turned around, they saw Tim Ray with his mouth agape, looking utterly incredulous. Well, they realized, Tim Ray was just as clueless as they were about this.

"Stop him!" Tim Ray roared angrily. "How could he... This is valuable property of the Federation Army, how could he do this!" Although Tim Ray was shouting like this, everyone understood that he wanted to stop Amuro from flying out in the Dagger 105.

But it was too late to say anything. Amuro, piloting the Dagger 105, jumped off the warehouse door with great skill, executing a perfectly executed knee-bending leap before igniting the thrusters a short distance later.

"Damn it!" Tim Ray slammed his fist on the table, his anger no longer concealed.

“Relax, Ye Yun is doing alright. At least... he didn’t pull Amuro into the 13th Mobile Squadron. You know, you can’t refuse.” Gao Yun sighed. Ye Yun was just fooling around with Amuro, which could be explained by his love for talent.

If Ye Yun were to actually conscript Amuro directly into the army under the pretext that Amuro had seen Federation military secrets, then Tim Ray would be in a truly awkward position. Because once Ye Yun revealed this, Amuro would either go to jail or be drafted; there would be no third option. And in terms of his future prospects, joining Ye Yun's 13th Mobile Force and staying under Ye Yun's protection would be Amuro's best choice.

“Mr. Ye!” Amuro’s voice came through the communication, his youthful voice filled with excitement and joy.

“Make him stop! Amuro is just a child!” Tim Ray said to Gao Yun, his face filled with anxious fear. Although he was designing the mobile suits himself, as a father, he did not want Amuro to go to the battlefield, especially to pilot a mobile suit.

"Do you think you have command of the 13th Mobile Force? They're just cooperating with us in testing. Besides, Ye Yun likes children, so just consider it him playing with Amuro." Gao Yun pulled down his hat brim. He didn't have any better ideas. Ye Yun wasn't a general, but the entire Federation Army knew that this wasn't because Ye Yun lacked achievements!

The achievement of simply capturing Baikonur and eliminating the Zeon base planted behind the Federation's lines is already enough. However, many people have strong opinions about the capture of this base because Ye Yun and his team had essentially destroyed it...

It's not because Ye Yun is young. Right now, Ye Yun is like a fire brigade, being deployed wherever needed. Everyone knows that the 13th Mobile Unit is traveling thousands of kilometers.

Many people know that Ye Yun was transferred from the African theater because the African theater had not yet reached a point where a decisive decision needed to be made. As for when that decisive decision would be made, that would depend on when Ye Yun and his team left.

So what's preventing Ye Yun from becoming a general?! Actually, many people have already vaguely guessed it! The entire MS force training and combat system is now his creation, especially after the Baikonur attack, the excellent tactical coordination shown by the veterans at the Dhaka base almost refreshed the Federation's worldview.

When a squadron of mobile suits, each equipped with an attack group consisting of two or three mechanized infantry battalions, launched a series of attacks on the Zeon forces, the Zeon forces found it almost impossible to resist. Almost all the Federation forces that broke through the Zeon defenses came from the Dhaka base.

The concept of the "Dhaka Battle Group" has already appeared on the Federation headquarters' desk. And guess what? When everything changes in an unstoppable way...

Does the new generation of the Earth Federation need a leader? This is the equivalent of the front-line commanders of the entire Earth Federation military.

At a recent meeting, Ye Yun was seated in the first row among the officers of colonel rank. Is this news?

If he doesn't improve, how can others improve?

Gao Yun is one of the reasons why he suddenly started to show goodwill to Ye Yun. After all, many things are already visible, aren't they? Although Gao Pu seems to be silent, without anyone noticing or even being suppressed, he casually placed a road to heaven there.

What truly chilled Gao Yun to the bone was that Ye Yun seemed to understand… He was actually fighting alongside Gao Pu in this complex environment. Damn it! He wasn't even 22! What was Gao Yun doing when he was 22?! Are the Ye siblings monsters?!

"...But Amuro is only a few years old, how can we let him step onto the battlefield!?" Although Tim Ray was somewhat career-oriented, he did dislike Amuro, so when he saw Ye Yun put Amuro into the space experience, he was completely shocked.

"Amuro! Come on!" Ye Yun, piloting Gundam Unit 1, beckoned to Amuro. Ye Yun also wanted to know what it felt like to fight between Newtypes.

"Yes! Ye! I'm here!" As Amuro stepped on the pedal, the Dagger 105 ignited its thrusters, a sight that filled Tim Ray with rage! A high-mobility backpack?! They actually equipped Amuro with a high-mobility backpack?!

————————————————————————————————————————————

"The new mobile suit's opponent today is quite clumsy." Xia put down his binoculars, looking at the two mobile suits fighting each other not far away and a small squad of mobile suits accompanying them nearby with a somewhat strange expression.

Char knew that the person he had been wanting to kill was right across from him. After completing the task that Sera had given him, he returned to Zeon with a belly full of emotions and resentment towards Ye Yun. Then he accepted a new mission to conduct reconnaissance near Luna 2.

The Zeon forces weren't stupid. Although both Musai ships were sunk and all the survivors were captured by the Federation forces, the wreckage was still there. The Zeon forces investigated the wreckage and the conclusions they reached were quite chilling.

Due to the pressure from the Dagger 105, the Zeon forces began extensively strengthening and iterating their existing mobile suits and conducting preliminary research on the next generation of mobile suits. As for how to better break through shields and destroy Federation mobile suits, one approach was to use mega particle weapons. Zeon had already begun preliminary research on this, so the Zeon forces were not completely unaware of the use of mega particle weapons on mobile suits!

However, despite the lack of any surviving data, the battle traces at the scene proved that the Federation forces had begun deploying mega particle weapons, which was quite alarming. Especially after the Federation mobile suits from Luna II began small-scale attacks using artillery-equipped Short Sword 105s with high-mobility backpacks, a series of clashes ensued. These Short Sword 105s, targeting the warships, were causing the Zeon forces considerable headaches.

However, the flaws of the artillery system were also discovered. It was extremely powerful, but the ammunition was insufficient, which was the biggest flaw of the entire artillery system! At present, the enemy was not using just one shot, but at least a dozen shots, and the power did not seem to be as fierce as the artillery system used by the short sword.

So the Zeon forces dispatched a search party to investigate the area around Luna 2, following the trail. Eventually, Char reached the vicinity of Side 7 and discovered the Gundam Unit 1, which was being tested.

Today marks the third day that Char has been monitoring and awaiting a reply from Zeon headquarters. As for launching an attack...

Char never even considered that the opposing team was an understrength squadron, and judging from the fact that all of them were equipped with high-mobility backpacks and their piloting skills during testing, they were all elite ace-level pilots!

With so few people at his disposal, what was the point of fighting? Was he kidding? Xia didn't want to die. Even though Xia was confident in his abilities and had destroyed the Federation Space Force's elite pilots of the Dagger 105 multiple times, he only had a few Zakus under his command and no particularly outstanding pilots. So he didn't want to be ganged up on by an entire squadron of the enemy's elites.

Right now, the opponent has appeared someone whose skill level doesn't seem very high, which surprised Xia. "A recruit?" At this moment, Xia subconsciously became quite interested in the other party. After all, those qualified to pilot the Short Sword 105 are not ordinary MS pilots, which is already a common perception among the Zeon forces.

"He has a wildly imaginative mind! However, the pilot of this new machine has already had several opportunities to destroy it, so his strength is somewhat weak." Xia shook his head. But what did the Federation's own training and testing have to do with him? He was just waiting for a reply from the Zeon headquarters.

"Major Char, Solomon has replied."

Chapter 159 So-called poaching

"Thank you very much for Colonel Ye Yun's cooperation. All the tests for Operation V have been completed perfectly!" Gao Yun raised his glass to Ye Yun.
