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

Inside the intensive care unit, after Chen Jianguo left.

Jiang Ming leaned against the soft pillows on the hospital bed, his hands folded over his abdomen.

Consciousness sank deep into the mind, where golden characters danced in the darkness.

The settlement of the CA4527 flight crash incident has been completed.

[Gained 4,120,500 positive emotion points (redemption, ecstasy, worship, awe)]

[Negative Emotion Points Gained: 3,980,000 (Despair, Fear, Jealousy, Doubt)]

[Total Emotion Points Earned: 8,100,500]

[Current total sentiment score balance: 8,947,545 points]

[System notification: Your current balance meets the requirements for the fifth "Choose One of Three Destinies" event. Activating it requires 5 million Emotion Points.]

Jiang Ming stared at the long string of numbers, his breathing remaining steady and calm.

Eight million one hundred thousand.

This was the largest single emotional value he had ever received since he bound himself to the system.

The life-or-death race at 10,000 meters altitude, the weight of 158 lives, and the emotional outburst across the internet have indeed brought about a qualitative change.

Jiang Ming did not rush to make new choices.

Instead, he picked up his own phone from the bedside table.

The light from the screen shone on his handsome face.

He tapped the WeChat icon, and the number of unread messages at the top was "99+".

The name at the top is Zhao Lin.

Jiang Ming tapped his finger lightly and swiped to the very bottom of the dialog box.

Zhao Lin sent dozens of voice messages, the last one being three minutes ago.

"Mr. Jiang, I've seen the list. You were on that plane, weren't you?"

"The official report says everyone survived. Where are you now?"

"The top management at TikTok has gone crazy; they're all asking about your situation."

Jiang Ming typed a reply with one hand.

"I'm fine. The platform can rest assured, and the cooperation will continue."

As soon as the message was sent, the screen immediately displayed "The other party is typing".

A second later, a meme depicting extreme shock, bulging eyes, and profuse sweating went viral.

This was followed by Zhao Lin's incoherent text reply.

"Thank God! You scared me to death! You really scared me to death!"

"I'll go tell the higher-ups right away. Please get some rest, and contact me anytime if you need anything!"

Jiang Ming closed the chat window with Zhao Lin.

He opened a WeChat group called "Happy Family".

It was full of forwarded news links about flight CA4527.

The mother posted dozens of prayer emojis, while the father forwarded several reports about the heroic crew.

Jiang Ming typed in a text.

"Dad, Mom, the plane had a minor malfunction but has landed safely. I'm taking care of some business in Yuzhang. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

After sending the message, Jiang Ming switched to a browser and entered the public network.

On the homepage's trending topics list, eight out of the top ten items are tagged with "CA4527".

#All members of CA4527 survived#

#Heroic Crew Emergency Landing#

#Miracle in the Northern Mountainous Area of ​​Yuzhang#

Jiang Ming clicked on the most popular topic and his eyes fell on the comments section below.

The official announcement has garnered over two million comments.

Amidst this wave of cheers and likes, a hashtag called #WhoIsTheOnlyHero# is rapidly gaining traction with thousands of discussions per second.

Jiang Ming brought up this topic.

At the top is a screenshot of a passenger list.

On the list, Jiang Ming's name was highlighted with a bold red circle.

The detailed analysis below has been shared over half a million times.

"Everyone, don't rush to show off the hero crew. Take a look at this list. Row 14, Seat A, Jiang Ming."

"This name just appeared at the Jiangcheng Flower Expo, and the first six digits of the ID number are exactly the same."

"Looking at the official report, it says that the plane was struck by lightning at an altitude of 10,000 meters, damaging the left engine and causing hydraulic failure."

"Under these circumstances, the aircraft entered a death spiral, and the radar signal disappeared for a period of time."

"The official story is that it made an emergency landing in a valley, but what about that forest in the blurry photos released by the search and rescue team?"

"I visited that valley in northern Yuzhang last year; it was full of rocks and low shrubs. Where did this primeval forest come from?"

"Think about the ginkgo tree that miraculously came back to life at the Flower Expo, and then think about this emergency landing."

"Don't you think this looks more like some kind of supernatural intervention?"

This comment was followed by countless replies.

"I noticed it too! Look at the panoramic photo that blogger posted; the jungle is circular, perfectly enclosing the cabin!"

"Also, why did the radar signal disappear for five minutes out of nowhere?"

"If it was just an emergency landing, the signal should have remained until the crash or the ground was touched down."

"Where did the plane go in those five minutes?"

"Brothers, I have a bold theory: did the Raven God catch the plane at an altitude of 10,000 meters?"

"Don't be ridiculous upstairs. That's a steel monster weighing tens of tons. How can anyone catch it?"

"Professor Sun said that the tree at the Flower Expo violated the law of conservation of energy. What things has the Raven God done that are scientifically sound?"

"It's no coincidence that he's actually on the official list."

"From Jiangcheng to Yuzhang, wherever Jiang Ming appears, miracles occur."

"If he really saved everyone, why did the authorities promote the hero crew?"

"Is that even a question? How can something like this be made public? If I said it was superpowers that saved the plane, would you believe me or me?"

"I believe you! I'm a die-hard fan of the Crow God. He can make all birds flock to the phoenix, make hundreds of cats dance, and make withered trees bloom. What's wrong with saving an airplane?"

"There is only one truth, and Jiang Ming is the only hero."

This logical chain has become increasingly clear thanks to the imagination and evidence gathering of countless netizens.

People began to spontaneously connect the ravens, cats, and ginkgo trees of Jiangcheng with the plane crash.

Within just one hour, a narrative known as "the Raven God's salvation" completely overshadowed the official "heroic crew" narrative.

Jiang Ming watched the heated debate on the screen.

The sentiment value in the background is fluctuating wildly.

+ 1200

+ 3500

+ 8000

+ 5000

Every new piece of evidence that was unearthed, every debate about "magic," provided him with a constant source of energy.

The original balance of over 8.9 million has, in a short time, approached the 9 million mark.

This kind of widespread cognitive impact across the entire internet is even more effective than Jiang Ming personally hosting a live stream.

The more the authorities try to block information, the more curious the public becomes.

This curiosity is the most fertile ground for emotional expression.

Jiang Ming turned off the phone screen and gently slid his fingertip across the metal casing.

This feeling of earning money passively made him feel extremely happy.
