The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 1139: ONLINE REACTION (FT. NEPOTISM?)

THE screens displaying the NovelFirePs showcased key moments from their matches, highlighting the performances that earned them the MVP title. On the screen featuring Luo Jin, key moments were highlighted, such as his precision in firing his guns. From eliminating Candycane and Freya to destroying the orb that secured his teamʼs victory, these events played out like a fast-forwarded movie.

But Luo Jin didnʼt see any of that. All he could focus on was his game name, AmazingYoungMasterJin, flashing brightly before him. He couldnʼt help but zeroed in on everything the crowd was saying about him, adding to his mild irritation.

”/What is the name of that cute little gnome?/”

”/I canʼt read it, itʼs in Chinese./”

”/Itʼs AmazingYoungMasterJin. At least, I think thatʼs how it read—my Chinese is a bit rusty./”

Some who heard it laughed.

”/Seriously? Thatʼs such a childish name./”

”/Well, heʼs obviously a child. So, it fits./”

Luo Jin felt his face burning when he heard those words. They were spoken in English, but he understood every one of them. It seemed they were foreigners invited from the new servers to watch the Arcadia Cup finale tournament.

The thought that people from other countries could see his embarrassing game name made Luo Jin wish the ground would open up and swallow him whole. No, he should just log out right now.

Then he felt a small hand pinching his fingers. He looked down and then glanced up to see Su Yuqi smiling at him. ”Donʼt be embarrassed by your game name,” she said. ”Be proud of what you did in the match. You were amazing. So, stand up straight, lift your chin, and show them you deserve that MVP title.”

Luo Jin felt a rush of warmth at Su Yuqiʼs words. Instinctively, he straightened his posture, lifted his chin, and smiled back at her. The embarrassment he felt just moments ago quickly faded, replaced by a growing sense of pride. All because of Su Yuqiʼs supportive words.

This sweet little moment was quickly interrupted when Eclipse suddenly spoke.

”Why is Brother gnome the MVP? Shouldnʼt it be me?”

Luo Jin turned to the fox, whoʼs now taller than him, which ignited his irritation once again. ”Why should it be you? Didnʼt you see how I defeated two members of the enemy team? Iʼm also the one who destroyed that orb like thing, so of course it should be me.”

”But you only managed to do all that because youʼre far away from the fight. Unlike me, who fought toe to toe with their captain,” Eclipse retorted, puffing out his chest with conviction.

The two bickering only made their teammates laughed.

And thatʼs how team Yunyueʼs first match in the final tournament concluded.

----------

After the top 16 match, the reaction from abroad was explosive. Over a million people had watched the live stream, highlighting the tremendous success of the gameʼs international release.

Since there were that many people who watched it, itʼs only natural for it to trend on foreign social media sites.

[Have you watched the Arcadia Cup? If youʼre a gamer and you didnʼt, Iʼm telling you, youʼre missing a lot.]

[There were eight matches happening simultaneously, and my short attention span made it impossible to watch them all at once. It was so hard to pick just one to focus on! (Ｔ▽Ｔ)]

- IKR? I feel the same way! They should have scheduled them at different times.

[Why do all the avatars of the players who fought today look so cool and beautiful? Are there only good-looking people in that country?]

- Right? I particularly like the members of team Celestials. Especially Michael and Jophiel.

└ I like them too! Iʼm a big fan of angels, so theyʼre just my style.

└ Itʼs the hot vampire for me. They always get me. What was his name again, Alucard!

└ If youʼre talking about hotness, then it should be the phoenix guy! Have you seen that flaming red hair? Heʼs absolutely beautiful.

└ Beautiful men are certainly abundant in those teams. My personal favorite is the white-haired elf from Yunyue. Now, thatʼs a beauty.

└ Yunyueʼs captain looks better. Thatʼs a certified hottie right there.

- Hey, you do know that people can beautify themselves when they create their avatar, right?

└ Shut up. No oneʼs asking.

[I canʼt wait for the quarter-finals tomorrow.]

[Are there no betting sites? I want to bet on who will win.]

[Will we have an Arcadia Cup in our servers in the future?]

└ Thereʼs a rumor going around the grapevine that there will be.

If the reaction of people from other countries was mostly positive, the reaction of domestic fans was mostly mixed. These mixed reactions were largely due to one team - Yunyue.

[Have you seen the two dragons on Team Yunyue? Isnʼt it a bit unfair for them to have two dragons in these fights?]

- I agree as well. When they fought against team Siren, itʼs like 5 vs 8.

- Moonlight shouldnʼt have allowed pets to be involved in the tournament.

- What are you guys whining about? Pets are just like items. Is it team Yunyueʼs fault they understood the importance of pets for future battles? Thatʼs like saying a player shouldnʼt invest in weapons because it would be unfair to their opponent.

└ Right? These people are probably just fans of team Siren. Theyʼre just bitter their favorite team didnʼt win.

└└ You really think thatʼs the reason? Canʼt you see how unfair it is for them to have two full-grown dragons fighting alongside them?

[Donʼt you find it strange that Yunyue managed to get two dragons as pets? Dragons arenʼt like goblins that you can find anywhere.]

[Hey, do you remember that photo that circulated last Spring Festival? The one people suspected was YUN? Someone I know said his real name is Shen Ji Yun. And guess what? Heʼs the nephew of Moonlight Mediaʼs president.]

- Wait-- is that the reason why his team could get dragons as pets?

└ No way. If thatʼs the case, then YUN is a nepo baby?

- OP shouldnʼt spread misinformation.

└ How can you be so sure itʼs not true?

└└ How can you be sure itʼs not?

- Wow. Is nepotism winning once again?
