Fate's Choice: Livestream at the Start Summoning Billions of Ravens

Chen Jianguo pushed open the door and returned to the interrogation room.

He held a formal document in his hand and placed it in front of Jiang Ming with unhurried movements.

"Due to seriously disrupting the order of a large-scale public event, in accordance with relevant regulations, it has been decided to impose an administrative detention of fifteen days and a fine of one thousand yuan on you."

When the decision was read out, Chen Jianguo's eyes never left Jiang Ming.

He was observing.

Observe the young man's every subtle reaction.

However, there was nothing there.

Jiang Ming listened calmly and then nodded.

"Thank you, officers. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

This kind of cooperation.

This composure.

This is extremely abnormal.

Chen Jianguo has been in the industry for thirty years and has seen too many people.

A vicious and ruthless fugitive, a silver-tongued con artist, and a tearful first-time offender.

But none of them are like Jiang Ming.

This extreme calmness did not lessen Chen Jianguo's suspicions; on the contrary, it intensified them.

This kid is definitely not simple.

Young police officer Xiao Wang escorted Jiang Ming to the detention center.

Even after getting into the police car, Xiao Wang couldn't hold back.

"How did you do that? Don't give me that bullshit magic. A flock of birds that big would make even magician David Copperfield kneel down before you."

Jiang Ming leaned back in the back seat, watching the street scene rushing past the window.

A smile appeared on his face.

"In fifteen days, you may see an even more amazing magic trick."

These words, though spoken lightly, left Xiao Wang feeling utterly powerless.

It's like punching cotton.

He could only manage to stammer, "You'd better behave yourself."

The police car drove into the detention center.

Jiang Ming officially began his fifteen-day "seclusion".

He quickly adapted to the environment.

I get up, eat, go outside for fresh air, and go to sleep on time every day.

His cellmates, seeing that he was young and had been brought in for "disrupting order," all assumed he was just an ordinary college student who had made a mistake.

Jiang Ming was a man of few words, never caused trouble, and displayed no distinguishing characteristics.

However, while Jiang Ming was isolated by the high walls, the outside world had already been completely ignited because of him.

The Jiangcheng police's official Weibo account released a notice regarding the handling of the "Raven Incident at the City Center Square," confirming that the "perpetrator," Jiang Ming, has been administratively detained for fifteen days.

This announcement instantly became the top trending topic.

The comment section exploded.

"No way? They arrested him already? Doesn't the Crow God have any dignity?"

"Hilarious! How can mortal rules bind a god? These fifteen days are a holiday for him."

"Is it possible that the Raven God himself wanted to go in and have some peace and quiet for a few days, to experience life?"

The official announcement not only failed to quell public opinion, but instead became the most potent fuel for it.

Sympathy, admiration, and mockery of Jiang Ming, mixed with discussions about the official handling of the situation, brought the popularity of the title "Crow God" to an unprecedented peak.

Various derivative videos, analysis posts, and memes spread virally across the internet.

The screenshot of Jiang Ming smiling before the broadcast ended was photoshopped with various texts and became a new internet icon.

His Douyin account, "Jiang Lai," has seen its number of followers skyrocket despite him having lost his personal freedom.

Two million.

Two and a half million.

Three million.

The fluctuating numbers highlight the absurdity and ferocity of this online frenzy.

Zhao Lin received a notification from her supervisor at the Douyin content review center.

She was suspended from her duties pending investigation for unilaterally raising the "high-risk live streaming room" to S+ level and reporting it to headquarters without authorization, which caused huge public opinion risks.

Holding that thin notice, Zhao Lin felt no anger, but rather a sense of calm as if the dust had settled.

That swirling vortex of ravens that blotted out the sky had long since shattered her professional burnout.

Li Hao, once a popular online figure with millions of followers known as "Science Iron Fist," has had his comment section completely turned into a massive mockery session.

After being overwhelmed by endless comments like "liar," "Give me back the carnival," and "Where's your science?", Li Hao quietly deleted all the videos.

He posted a short update: "I was wrong."

Subsequently, the account was never updated again and completely disappeared from public view.

The commotion outside had nothing to do with Jiang Ming inside the detention center.

My first night at the facility.

When the cell lights went out and the even snores filled the air, Jiang Ming slowly closed his eyes on his single bed.

The whole world fell silent instantly.

His consciousness sank into that familiar, chaotic ocean.

It's time for a second chance at destiny.

Jiang Ming first checked his emotional value balance.

Total: 111,895 points.

After the live stream ended, he enhanced his selection quality, which consumed 2000 points.

The second choice requires 10,000 emotional points.

Jiang Ming issued the order.

"System, consume 10,000 emotion points to activate 'Choose One of Three Destinies'."

[Received! Mood points decreased by 10,000. You are now unlocking your second, more energetic option!]

The system's response was much more lively than the first time.

The quality enhancement effect has taken effect; this choice is connecting you to higher-dimensional possibilities...

A brilliant light shone in Jiang Ming's mind.

Three cards slowly appeared.

Their backs are no longer blurry starry skies, but clear, deep, slowly rotating galactic vortexes, with pale golden halos flowing around their edges, making them far more refined than the beginner's bonus.

Jiang Ming used his mind to flip over the first card.

The card transformed into a beam of light, revealing a line of text clearly.

Option A: [Photographic Memory] (Passive Skill): Your brain will be transformed into a biological supercomputer. All the information you see, hear, and perceive will be recorded without loss and can be retrieved and played back with 100% accuracy at any time according to your wishes.

Amazing skill.

An absolutely amazing learning skill.

With this skill, any subject and any knowledge will open its doors to him.

Jiang Ming's heart raced slightly, but he suppressed his impulse.

He flipped over the second card.

Option B: [Absolute Anonymity] (One-time Use Item): A card that carries the power of special rules. After use, you can reshape your personal information, facial features, social relationships, and even online traces according to your own wishes. The system will generate a brand new, seamless, and legal identity for you. All information of the old identity will be temporarily sealed until you actively release it.

The perfect tool to solve the current problem.

With it, Jiang Ming could escape the vortex of "Crow God," change his identity, and live a carefree life.

It's very practical, but it's a disposable item, which feels a bit wasteful.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath and flipped over the last card.

Option C: [Voice of the Mind] (Beginner): Grants you the ability to listen and transmit, allowing you to communicate on a spiritual level with beings other than humans who possess basic intelligence.

Current effective range: 100 meters in radius, centered on you.

The moment Jiang Ming saw this option, all his hesitation vanished.

He quickly made an analysis.

[Photographic memory] is very strong, but it tends to accumulate and learn, so it takes a long time to show results and cannot be immediately converted into combat power or influence.

【Absolute Anonymity】can solve the immediate identity crisis, but it's not a permanent solution.

As long as he continues to cause trouble during his live streams, he will be exposed again sooner or later. Changing his identity is tantamount to giving up the enormous reputation he has accumulated with the "Crow God" identity, which he had a perfect start.

The [Voice of the Mind] is a perfect match for the [Raven Summoning] spell.

One was in charge of "troop deployment," and the other was in charge of "communication."

If he could communicate directly with the raven, he could do far more than just "hover" and "gather".

He can command them to conduct reconnaissance, transmit information, launch precision attacks, and even understand what they see and hear.

This is no longer a simple summoning, but true control.

It is far wiser to develop and strengthen a capability system to form one's own core competitiveness than to haphazardly pursue one thing at a time.

What he needs to do is strengthen the "Crow God" persona, not escape it.

Without any hesitation.

Jiang Ming made his choice.

"I choose C."

[Selection Confirmed: Voice of the Soul (Beginner)!]

[Congratulations, host! You can now chat with those adorable little guys!]

The card transformed into a warm stream of light, flowing into Jiang Ming's brain.

A completely new flow of information and energy spread throughout his spiritual world.

He felt that his mental strength had been expanded and transformed once again.

The whole world, in his perception, instantly became different.

It is no longer silent.

A faint, noisy, yet vivid "sound" came from all directions.

It wasn't heard through the ears.

Instead, it rang directly in his mind.

"Hungry……"

"cold……"

"It itches...it's so itchy under my wings..."

"That human is grinding their teeth, it's so noisy..."
