Lian Yue was a genius in mechanics - such was Shang’s conclusion. Rarely did Shang offer such high praise for any one person, so Lian Yue must be the real thing. Ye Chong no longer concerned himself with Coxcomb’s engines. Better to let the expert onboard handle it rather than someone amateur like him.
Ye Chong was trying to figure out how to improve Han Jia. While Han Jia performed well, it was only on par with Darklight. Shang mentioned that there were many other more powerful mechs. More importantly, Ye Chong noticed the disparity between Overwing and Han Jia.
This made Ye Chong feel a great sense of urgency and danger.
