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

There's one day left until the live stream.

On the invisible interface in Jiang Ming's mind, the emotion value finally stopped at 7800.

More than 99 percent of these come from negative emotions.

An interesting phenomenon has emerged: the more "rational and objective" Li Hao's analysis appears, the more "righteous and eloquent" his fans' comments are, and the higher the emotional value they generate.

The anger and disdain that these self-proclaimed guardians of science unleash when defending the boundaries of their knowledge is the most efficient source of energy.

Jiang Ming was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it.

This "scientific iron fist" is truly a good person.

It's practically the best power bank of the year, the kind that comes with its own food and works overtime voluntarily.

Jiang Ming opened Douyin and even clicked into Li Hao's live stream with great interest.

At this moment, Li Hao is passionately educating the viewers in the live broadcast room about bird habits, laying the groundwork for tomorrow's "debunking" campaign.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ming clicked the gift button and used up all the few free hearts he had in his account.

The gesture itself was small, but extremely insulting.

This action was instantly captured by Li Hao's fans in his live stream.

"Holy crap! That scammer is here!"

"He still dares to come to Iron Fist Bro's live stream?"

"What does sending gifts mean? It's a provocation! This is blatant provocation!"

Soon, a screenshot went viral online.

The screen shows Li Haoyi giving a serious and eloquent science popularization live stream, while at the bottom of the screen, a system notification from an ID named "Jiang Lai" sending a little heart is particularly glaring.

A new round of mockery arrived as expected.

"That's hilarious! Did they know they were doomed and are now coming to curry favor?"

"I think it's a case of 'what's the use of trying to destroy something'. Since we're going to be ruined anyway, we might as well make a bigger scene."

"With that kind of mental fortitude, it's a shame she's not in sales."

Jiang Ming looked at the hundreds of negative emotion points that had surged again in his backend, and closed all social media apps with satisfaction.

The outside world's turmoil is irrelevant to him.

The bait is fragrant enough, and the fish have gathered. Now, all we need to do is wait patiently for the moment to haul in the net.

Jiang Ming walked to the window.

The city was shrouded in night, and the outlines of distant high-rise buildings were blurred.

His mind began to focus, and his spirit became more concentrated than ever before.

At the edge of his field of vision, he locked onto a raven perched on the antenna of the building opposite.

It was a strange sense of connection, as if an invisible thread extended from the depths of his brain and precisely landed on that tiny life.

【landing】.

A simple and clear instruction formed in Jiang Ming's mind.

The next second, the raven that had been standing quietly flapped its wings and took flight.

It didn't fly far; it just circled once in the air before landing precisely and obediently on a bare telephone pole not far away.

The whole process was smooth and natural, without any abrupt changes.

Although it's just the simplest instruction, there's only one target.

But this is enough to prove that the Raven Summoning Spell is real and completely controllable.

This gave Jiang Ming absolute confidence.

He checked the equipment he would be using tomorrow.

Phone battery is at 100%.

My newly purchased high-capacity power bank is also fully charged.

The network signal is at full strength.

Finally, Jiang Ming pulled out the cleanest white T-shirt and a pair of casual pants from the closet.

This is the most photogenic outfit he could find.

Everything is ready.

The next day, at 11:00 AM.

Jiang Ming arrived at the Jiangcheng City Central Square an hour early.

On a weekday, the square is bustling with people, the fountain dances to music, and the surrounding large screens play glamorous GG videos.

He knew the way like the back of his hand and circled around to the edge of the square, finding the flower bed he had scouted beforehand.

This place is relatively secluded, and it offers perfect views of the fountain in the center of the square and the vast sky.

Jiang Ming calmly set up his phone stand, repeatedly adjusting the angle to ensure he could clearly appear in the lower right corner of the screen, while the main image showed a distant view of the sky and the square.

11:30.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath, opened Douyin (TikTok), and started a live stream.

The title of the live stream used the same line as the preview video.

"To witness is to participate."

As soon as the live stream started, the number of viewers jumped from single digits to a crazy high.

Several dozen.

five hundred.

one thousand.

With countless busybodies and Li Hao's fan club organizing a "group viewing," the popularity of the live stream was quickly ignited.

The screen was instantly filled with dense text.

"Here it comes! The Joker's live stream is on!"

"Sold sunflower seeds, peanuts, and bottled water in the front row! Witness the grand finale of the year!"

"Where's the anchor? Why is there only an empty shot?"

"I'm ready to record the screen; it will be used as evidence in court later."

"@Jiangcheng Cyber ​​Police, there are people engaging in feudal superstitious activities here. We suggest you take action."

Jiang Ming did not appear in the camera immediately, but simply held the phone quietly to the sky.

A few seconds later, he slowly walked into the frame and sat on the edge of the flower bed.

Jiang Ming didn't speak or look at the camera. He just sat there quietly, took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, unscrewed it, and took a sip.

He remained calm and composed.

To all the viewers, his composure was just a last-ditch effort to hold on.

"Still pretending? Let's see how long you can keep it up."

"Trying to stay calm, huh? Let's see how you handle this once it hits midnight."

"That's incredible composure. He remained completely calm even when faced with a major crisis. Are all scammers this inscrutable?"

11:50.

There are still ten minutes until the predicted noon.

Thanks to various traffic-driving methods and the spread of information by enthusiastic individuals, the number of viewers in the live stream has stabilized at around three thousand.

For a new streamer with zero followers, this is a terrifying number.

Meanwhile, Douyin's content review center.

At Zhao Lin's workstation, the system alarm light was flashing yellow.

On the main monitoring screen in front of her, the image of a live broadcast room was automatically enlarged and pinned to the top by the system.

It was Jiang Ming's live stream.

Backend data shows that the live stream's popularity is abnormal, with the number of online viewers being significantly disproportionate to the streamer's level. It is associated with influential figures such as "Science Iron Fist," posing an extremely high risk of triggering a public opinion storm.

Zhao Lin put down her coffee and started typing on the keyboard, raising the monitoring level of the live stream to the highest level.

She wanted to see what this young man was really up to.

On the screen, Jiang Ming remained seated quietly, as if in a meditative state.

Just then, the live stream screen suddenly split in two.

A system notification popped up.

"The host 'Science Fist' requests a live PK with you."
