Chapter 1140: BREAKING NEWS?
In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that the captain of a once-popular team in Arcadia is the nephew of the president of Moonlight Media. This connection has raised eyebrows, especially considering the team's extraordinary acquisition of not one but two dragons as pets. The question on everyone's mind: Did dear uncle pull some strings behind the scenes to provide these powerful pets?
Did Moonlight Media's president gift dragon eggs to his nephew's team?
Without an official statement from Moonlight Media, this speculation remains unanswered. The cloud of suspicion lingers, casting a shadow over Moonlight Media's reputation. This controversy is particularly unfortunate given Arcadia's recent successful debut abroad.
Moonlight Media, for the sake of your reputation and to provide peace of mind for your loyal players, we urge you to clear up these allegations. Transparency is key in maintaining trust and credibility, you know?
@moonlightmedia, can you address these concerns?]
- Wow. Even a big game account like this had gotten into the drama. It seems that things are getting bigger. To think that the top 16 match just ended.
- He had a point, though. If Moonlight Media continues to stay silent, people will keep making their own assumptions.
- Are we even sure that YUN is Shen Yi Mu's nephew?
└ Right? That picture they're using as 'proof' isn't even available anywhere anymore.
└└ Shouldn't that make you more suspicious? With Moonlight Media's resources, they could easily erase traces of that picture on the internet.
- For those wondering, I did some research. President Shen of Moonlight Media has a couple of nephews, but only one matches YUN's features as well as the man in the photo that circulated last Spring Festival. His name is Shen Ji Yun, an incoming fourth-year student at T University. *attached pictures*
└ Wow. He really looks like YUN. I mean, he is YUN.
└ Is that eye color real? So he's mixed?
└ Wait- is this even legal? Why are you spreading someone's information like this? Those pictures also look like they were sneak shots.
└└ That's what I'm saying! These people obviously only cared about the drama. Ethics be damned.
└└ Why are you overreacting? LOL. It's just a few photos. And what information? Isn't that just his school? Which is a matter of public information.
It's not as if his address was released or something. Besides, it's his fault for using his uncle's influence to get ahead.
└└└ Are you seriously justifying releasing one's information without consent with that flimsy excuse? You people are crazy.
└└└ Get ahead? If YUN is really Shen Ji Yun and he's using his uncle to get ahead in the game, shouldn't Yunyue be the number one team in Arcadia, monopolizing everything in the game?
- Stop fighting and just ask Moonlight Media for an explanation. Even if YUN turns out to be President Shen's nephew, as long as neither of them abuses their position, what's the big deal? Just because someone is related to the president of a gaming company, should they be banned from playing games released by that company? That's just ridiculous.
└ I couldn't say it any better.
└ Agree X100

Luo Yan furrowed his brows as he read the comments on Weibo about the issue of Shen Ji Yun being related to the president of Moonlight Media. Many speculated that this connection was the reason their team managed to acquire two dragons.
He had just logged out of the game after his team celebrated their first win in the final tournament. Who would have thought that his usual browsing on Weibo would lead him to this?
He didn't expect that their team having two dragons would be such a big issue? But then again, he should have known that it might be as long as someone suspected that Shen Ji Yun was related to the owner of Moonlight Media.
So, how could they solve this issue?
Just like the last comment he read suggested, the only way to resolve this was for Moonlight Media to explain everything. But how could they do that without making Shen Ji Yun look like a nepo baby? After all, it was true that he was the nephew of Moonlight Media's president. However, it was also true that their team obtained Dusk and Rowan fairly.
So, how would Moonlight Media address this issue without fueling further controversy?
At the end, Luo Yan decided to just call Shen Ji Yun. Knowing the other, he might not even know that he was trending again on Weibo.
He opened WeChat and initiated a video call to Shen Ji Yun's ID. Surprisingly, it took a while for the call to be accepted. When it finally connected, an uncommon frown marred Shen Ji Yun's usually expressionless face on the screen.
Somehow, Luo Yan already had an idea on why his expression was like that.
"Brother Ji Yun, have you seen the posts on Weibo?" he asked.
"I haven't. But Brother Zhao called me and told me about it," Shen Ji Yun responded. "Has Yan Yan seen those posts?"
"I've seen some of them. Most were just stupid assumptions, but there were a few level-headed ones as well. Still, it's better if Brother Ji Yun doesn't read them," Luo Yan said. "Does Moonlight Media have a plan to address this?"
"Yes, Brother Zhao mentioned that the PR department is already planning to release a statement. They're also asking for permission to release the video of the quest where we obtained both Dusk and Rowan."
Luo Yan fell silent for a few seconds. "That's... a very long quest. Would people even bother to watch the entirety of it?"
That whole thing didn't start in the valley of dragons. It literally started in Luo Yan's origin village, where he found the cave where Dusk was sleeping. Would people, with their short attention spans, watch everything from start to finish?
"They said they would compress everything into a 30-minute video and edit it in a way that keeps people engaged."
Luo Yan felt somewhat relieved to hear that. "Well, if this can clear our team's name and yours as well, then please tell them to release it quickly."
