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

The interior of the black van was quiet and still.

Zhao Lin took a document out of an elegant briefcase and handed it to Jiang Ming.

This is an exclusive S+ level contract specially tailored for Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming took it and turned to the first page.

An eight-figure signing bonus.

The contract terms are clear and unambiguous.

The platform offers the highest level of traffic allocation.

A dedicated operations, legal, and public relations team was assembled for Jiang Ming.

And, most importantly, the platform promises to give Jiang Ming a very high degree of creative freedom in his live streaming content, as long as he does not cross any legal red lines.

"The platform's upper management is extremely curious about your abilities."

Zhao Lin took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence inside the car.

"They believe that you have the potential to disrupt the entire live streaming industry, so they decided to take a big gamble on you."

She paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"I myself was promoted because of this incident, and I am now the head of the Special Content Cooperation Department, specifically responsible for all your affairs."

It turned out to be the case.

Venture capital.

Douyin isn't just voting for a streamer; it's voting for an incomprehensible future.

Zhao Lin's promotion means that she and herself are now bound to the same chariot.

One glory and one glory.

Jiang Ming quickly glanced through the contract, closed it, and set it aside.

"The contract is good, but I have two additional conditions."

Zhao Lin leaned forward slightly, adopting a posture of attentive listening.

"First, I need a private, high-security residence where I don't want to be disturbed by anyone."

This request is reasonable.

Given Jiang Ming's current popularity, staying in his old rented apartment is tantamount to exposing himself to the spotlight.

"Secondly," Jiang Ming continued, "I need the platform to utilize official resources to apply for legal venue usage rights and event registration for my next 'large-scale performance art'."

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

If you cause trouble yourself, you'll be detained for a maximum of fifteen days.

If a platform endorses it, then it is a legitimate artistic performance.

Upon hearing the second condition, Zhao Lin was visibly taken aback.

She immediately understood what Jiang Ming meant.

Raven God, prepare to descend once more.

Zhao Lin did not answer immediately. Instead, she picked up her phone, dialed a number, and walked to the other end of the carriage to communicate in a low voice.

A few minutes later, she came back.

"We agree to all your requests. The accommodation has been arranged in a long-term vacant villa under the company's name, and security is absolutely no problem. As for the event reporting, the legal department will follow up on the whole process as soon as the plan is completed."

Zhao Lin's work efficiency is astonishing.

She immediately modified the contract appendix on her tablet, adding two supplementary agreements.

The two parties have officially reached a cooperation agreement.

Jiang Ming signed his name on the electronic signature board.

The van drove through the city and eventually entered a high-end villa area on the outskirts of the city.

The area is shaded by green trees, with tight security, and each household is far apart.

The car stopped in front of a three-story modern villa.

This will be Jiang Ming's future residence and live-streaming base.

Zhao Lin handed the electronic access card and key to Jiang Ming, gave him a few brief instructions, and then left in a car with her bodyguards.

Jiang Ming walked into the empty living room and casually tossed his backpack onto the sofa.

Instead of visiting his new home, he immediately closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into the spiritual world.

The power of [Voice of the Soul] is activated.

He began calling out to the stray calico cat he had met once outside the wall.

A moment later, a faint thought, tinged with wariness and ingratiation, answered his call.

"Sir...you wanted to see me?"

"How's it going?" Jiang Ming transmitted his thoughts directly.

The calico cat immediately sent out an excited fragment of thought.

"Found it! I found the 'Elvis' you've been looking for! He's in that factory area on the west side of the city, and all the cats are afraid of him!"

At the same time, a relatively clear geographical coordinate was transmitted to Jiang Ming's mind through the cat's visual memory.

well.

It was evening.

Jiang Ming changed into an inconspicuous black tracksuit, put on a baseball cap, and left the villa.

He hailed a ride-hailing car and headed straight for the industrial zone in the west of the city.

The ride-hailing car stopped on the outskirts of the industrial zone.

Jiang Ming walked alone into the depths of the factory area.

The air was filled with the smell of rust and dust.

His "voice of the mind" could already sense that hundreds of eyes were secretly watching from the shadows around him, from the pipes, and from behind the walls.

Their curiosity, vigilance, and subtle hostility formed a noisy background noise that echoed in Jiang Ming's mind.

Based on the coordinates provided by the calico cat, Jiang Ming entered a huge cement factory.

As soon as he stepped into the factory, dozens of stray cats hissed at him menacingly from the shadows.

Their bodies arched and their fur stood on end.

But none of them dared to approach.

Just then, an unusually large male cat silently jumped down from a rusty platform more than three meters high.

It landed steadily on the ground, blocking Jiang Ming's path.

Its fur is pure orange, one eye is empty with only a hideous scar, while the other eye gleams with a wild light.

Its numerous scars testify to its survival through countless battles.

Through the "Voice of the Mind," Jiang Ming could clearly perceive that the one-eyed orange cat's thinking was far more complex than that of the stray cats around it.

It was a powerful will that combined vigilance, authority, and an absolute desire for control over one's territory.

It is the king of this area.

Jiang Ming made no extra movements.

He mobilized his mental energy, projecting the terrifying, sky-covering scene he witnessed when he activated the [Raven Summoning Technique] into the Elvis's mind without reservation.

In an instant, the apocalypse reflected in Elvis's single eye was a vision he had never understood.

A black vortex obscured the sky, and an army of tens of thousands of ravens brought a suffocating sense of oppression.

This pure spiritual impact completely stunned Elvis.

Its orange fur bristled instantly, and it let out a scream filled with terror.

A fear originating from the deepest part of its being caused its massive body to tremble slightly.

It had never felt such a powerful and incomprehensible aura of its "natural enemy".

Jiang Ming then conveyed a second thought, cold and direct.

"Submit to me, and your people will have a stable food supply and protection; resist, and my flock of crows will clean up this area."

This is not just a threat.

To strengthen his persuasiveness, Jiang Ming simultaneously activated the [Raven Summoning Technique].

He did not summon a large army, but only a dozen or so ravens.

A moment later, the sharp, loud cry of a raven echoed from outside the dilapidated dome of the cement plant.

A dozen or so black birds circled above the factory.

Elvis looked up and sensed a real threat from the sky.

It was a pragmatic ruler who understood the disparity in power.

The apocalyptic visions in the spiritual world, together with the death messengers hovering in the real sky, constitute an irresistible pressure.

Under the watchful eyes of all the stray cats around.

After a brief struggle, the one-eyed cat king, which had ruled the ruins of the western city for several years, slowly lowered its proud head.

A clear idea representing "obedience" was transmitted into Jiang Ming's mind.

It became.

"From today onwards, you will be called 'General Yu'."

Jiang Ming named it in his heart.

By subduing "General Yu," Jiang Ming indirectly gained control of the army of over two hundred stray cats in the west of the city.

His next livestream project, with its most important actors, is already in place.
