[TRUE. Even if young master Jin is not just an ordinary gnome and belongs to the special category, he's still up against a legendary dragon. Him winning was truly unprecedented.]

[What's wrong with being a gnome? Do you think that having a legendary race meant that one is omnipotent? Of course not! It still depends on one's skill. Obviously, Dragnar's skill was much less than the young master.]

[Yeah. No matter how beautiful a chicken is, it will still remain a chicken and will not turn into a phoenix.]

[Hey, I think all of you are being too harsh on Dragnar. The only reason that gnome won was because Dragnar became a bit careless.]

[I also think so as well. Anyone who faced this young master in a fight wouldn't feel threatened at all. It's not that Dragnar didn't have skills to beat the other. He simply underestimated his opponent.]

[The two upstairs, did you watch the same match we did? Or are you simply one of those people who panders over anyone that has a legendary race? No matter what kind of excuse you make, the fact that Dragnar lost won't change. He was outsmarted by the gnome you're looking down on and lost.]

[Stop fighting, stop fighting. Can't we all just appreciate how amazing all the top 16 of this year's Carnival?]

[The top 4 are definitely a cut above the rest. Although there were some in the top 8 that were also quite good. Like that Razor and that dark elf. But the last two matches in the semi-finals probably wouldn't be as exhilarating if there was a different top 4.]

[True. My favorite is definitely the young master Jin. With that small stature and cute face, fighting so fiercely, it's simply gap moe!]

[I agree! He looks so squishy, I just want to go down the rink myself and squeeze his cheek. He's simply the king of gap moe!]

[What are you saying? If you're talking about gap moe, then the champion definitely tops the list! Have you seen how he fights? It's totally the opposite of how he looks.]

[Upstairs, you spoke nothing but facts. When Noctis is just standing there and smiling, he looks so beautiful like an angel. But once he entered battle mode, he's like a Shura king rising from hell.]

[He's still beautiful as hell though.]

[Yes, there's no question about his beauty. But man, seeing him violently stab his opponents with a smile on his face was just plain scary.]

[Yeah, I still have shiver down my spine when I think about it.]

[But he's still an eye-candy. So, even if I'm scared, I still want to look at him.]

[True! Noctis is just too beautiful. How can a guy look prettier than an actual girl like me?]

[Sometimes, life is just too unfair.]

[I wonder if Noctis still looks the same in real life.]

[Well, even if he beautified himself, with that resulting face, he would probably still be pretty good-looking.]

[Can you girls stop talking about Noctis' looks? Come on, he the champion of this year's Carnival! The best of rookie of this year! Who cares about his appearance? He's one heck of a good player!]

[I know right? He's a very smart fighter. But at the same time, he's also not afraid to take risk. He might appear reckless at one point, but all his actions were pretty calculated.]

[Even though he's a bit scary, the way he fights was almost like staring at a beautiful painting. If the said painting is covered in blood that is.]

[With Noctis winning the Rookie Carnival, will the Assassin ranking in the PvP ladder finally change?]

[Definitely. If he wants to make his name more well-known, he would definitely go after the Assassin PvP ranking.]

[His name would definitely be well-known. If he isn't already a part of a team, many others would surely clamor to recruit him.] 

[But can you believe it? The top two players in this year's Carnival were actually both from Yunyue!]

[It seems Yunyue is truly planning to make a comeback. This Carnival was probably a way to introduce their new members to everyone. Like some kind of debut or something.]

[And what a grand debut it was.]

[With the addition of Noctis and young master Jin, Yunyue is now being reborn. Next season's Arcadia Cup will certainly be much more fun.]

Such comments continued on piling up under the topic #RookieCarnivalFinals. Until it entered the top 10 of Weibo's hot search list.

----------

Duan Yu read the comments with interest. With how things were going, as long as Noctis didn't make any notable mistakes in the future, he would surely become very popular. That would just be perfect for the favor the other owed him. 

He was about to put away his phone when he suddenly felt a pair of slender arms hugged his neck from the back. A familiar fragrance wafted towards him and Duan Yu unknowingly smiled. 

He raised his head to the side and saw Song Liuli's beautiful side profile up close. But then was quickly filled with worry when he noticed the tiredness between her brows. 

"Have you eaten dinner?" he asked, gently patting the other's hand.

"No," Song Liuli said with a bit of complaint in her voice before turning slightly to Duan Yu with her big eyes blinking cutely at him. "Cook for me?"

Duan Yu smiled helplessly before giving a quick peck on Liuli's soft cheek. "Okay."

He put down his phone on the couch before standing up and walking towards the kitchen area. His studio apartment had a pretty simple design. The living room and the kitchen area were adjacent to each other. He didn't have a dining are since he had a bar counter at the kitchen.

He glanced at the girl who carelessly sat down on the couch.. Seeing her in his apartment, being comfortable as if this was her home, always put a smile on Duan Yu's face.
