After pausing for a moment, he continued his analysis:
"Then, his luck was also very good; the opportunity actually came!"
"Rukia arrived and, due to an accident, transferred her power to him!"
"At that time, all of us were envious of this guy and extremely jealous of his damn luck."
"'Then, what was the cost?' None of us asked that question!"
"But in reality, at that very moment, Ichigo had already foreseen the cost behind obtaining that power!"
"This morning, he so decisively arranged everything for Rukia. While we were still enchanted with Rukia's cuteness, Ichigo had already, through his own reliability, taken control of the initiative between the two!"
"So Ichigo could use the reason of escorting Rukia to come all the way here and meet this shopkeeper!"
"Ichigo wanted to understand the cost of obtaining power and find a way to deal with it by contacting people behind the scenes. But he didn't expect that this shopkeeper was also a mysterious figure! He wasn't just the owner of a miscellaneous goods store!"
"Regarding what Ichigo wanted to explore, the shopkeeper proactively revealed information… this was actually the shopkeeper casting bait, setting a hook!"
"If Ichigo weren't a player, but truly a 15-year-old boy, he would have been led by the nose by this mysterious shopkeeper from start to finish."
"So Ichigo directly called him out, telling the shopkeeper that they were both (old foxes, so there was no need to play tricks here!"
"And this shopkeeper was very compliant… he didn't state his own purpose, but directly asked Ichigo what he was willing to do for Rukia. This was him appraising Ichigo's value."
"Then we all saw Ichigo's response! The image of a mature, calm, yet deeply feeling and grateful young man leaped off the page."
"This image is crucial. It signifies how much weight the shopkeeper would add for Ichigo, for his own unknown purposes!"
"Finally, the shopkeeper asked 'Do you mind?' which essentially meant 'Aren't you curious about my motives?'"
"Ichigo said he didn't mind, because he knew caring wouldn't make the shopkeeper tell him. He would only see with his own eyes, and only needed the shopkeeper to help him train and increase his strength regarding Rukia's matter."
"This also demonstrates Ichigo's confidence! Or rather, his intelligence!"
"He is confident that his strength can improve rapidly, and confident that he won't die. Because, ultimately, he is just a player. As long as he survives the two and a half years, he can leave with his power!"
"And in my opinion, this kind of confidence is the most terrifying! How dare he place his bets when everything is still unknown?"
Finally, the knowledgeable guy exclaimed in awe:
"Ichigo, frightening to this extent!"
After reading his complete explanation, all the viewers who saw it were completely blown away!
"Holy crap, what level of intelligence is this? Even prodigy probably isn't this amazing, right?"
"Of course not. If we're talking about intelligence, then we're just playing checkers while this guy was playing 4D Chess with his feet!"
"Terrifying. Did I really go through the same nine years of compulsory education as him? Same nine years, how are you so outstanding?"
"Ridiculous!"
The bullet comments were filled with exclamations one after another. The dense comments even forced people to adjust the comment settings, turning the opacity to the minimum, just to continue watching the stream.
Luckily, this was the live stream of the Heaven's Path game. If it were really on a streaming platform on Earth, it would have crashed long ago.
These people probably could never have imagined that Ichigo wasn't nearly as divine as they thought.
The reason he could act this way was simply because he knew Kisuke's background inside and out and knew the other would definitely help him!
However, deducing from the outcome, the first half of the knowledgeable guy's analysis in the live stream room was correct.
Ichigo's trip to the Urahara Shop this time was indeed premeditated.
He didn't want to be pushed along dazedly by the situation like the original Ichigo. Since he had obtained the best card, he wanted to control the situation.
The original Ichigo didn't know Kido, and among Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kido, he only knew Zanjutsu and a bit of Hoho. And even his Hoho wasn't Shinigami Shunpo, as he used Quincy's Hirenkyaku after achieving Bankai.
Since he had entered, Ichigo certainly didn't want to be so ignorant.
He could put Hakuda aside for now, and Hoho could rely on the Quincy power within him, but he absolutely had to learn Kido.
By clarifying things with Kisuke so early, he gained much more time to learn.
Ichigo's current small goal was to be able to fight Byakuya when he and Renji arrived!
Anyway, whether it was Kisuke, Aizen, or even the Hollow within him, none of them would let him die, so what did Ichigo have to fear?
However, Ichigo had calculated everything in the Bleach World, but there was one thing he hadn't accounted for.
