Chapter 164 The actor inside the "suit"

"what are you saying?"

Kurosaki Ichigo, whose chest was being punched by his younger sister, looked at the girl in confusion.

"Huh?" The girl tilted her head. "Did I say anything?"

"Never mind." Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head and rubbed his sister's head.

“Youzi, stop fooling around. This child is just like the uncle from the other day, a spirit that suddenly came back to life.”

“It’s already dark, I can’t take her home in the middle of the night.”

That scene subconsciously surfaced in my mind—

A guy with blond hair and a fierce face, looking like a thug, was furtively leading a disheveled little girl by the hand...

Just imagining it made Ichigo Kurosaki feel like he was committing a crime. "If you run into any law enforcement officers on the street, you'll be going to the police station to see me."

“By the way,” Ichigo Kurosaki looked at his father. “Can this kid stay here tonight?”

Kurosaki Isshin nodded: "Yes, no problem. It is indeed very dangerous for such a young child to be out in the middle of the night."

"Let her stay here peacefully for the night, and we'll figure out how to send her back tomorrow."

Kurosaki Isshin bent down, supporting himself on his knees, and brought his large face close to the somewhat timid girl, asking with the gentlest of smiles, "Child, what's your name?"

“Rin, my name is Nishiyama Rin, thank you, Uncle,” the girl replied somewhat uneasily.

Kurosaki Isshin stood up, grinned, and patted his daughter's shoulder, saying, "Shirley, Yuuko, this child is in your care tonight. Get along well with her."

……

Back in his room that night, Kurosaki Isshin lay on his bed, filled with worry. "Another spirit has been given a body by Ichigo, isn't it? Nishiyama Rin, is it?"

He rolled out of bed, pulled a cell phone from a storage box under the bed, and hesitated for a moment.

Just as Kurosaki was hesitating, within his "inner" realm, in the fully-fledged role-playing mode constructed by laws, various options were constantly appearing on an ancient book—

(Option 1: Immediately call Kisuke Urahara to obtain information about the protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki. Requires 0 World Essence)

(Option 2: Call Ryugen Ishida to discuss the possibility that Ichigo Kurosaki may possess the awakening of Yhwach's power, a potential Quincy bloodline. Requires 0 World Origin.)

(Option 3: Remain inactive and wait until tomorrow. Requires 0 World Origin)

……

(Option 41: Immediately rush into Ichigo Kurosaki's room, tell him about his past, and take him to Urahara's shop for power awakening training. Requires 1 million E-rank World Origin Points)

A young man stood in the fully-fledged role-playing space, glancing at the strategy guide in his hand and then at the brief recap on the large screen.

"Damn it!" He threw the book with the constantly appearing options in his hand on the ground and stomped on it a few times.

The man was probably in his early twenties and was wearing a story item he had obtained during the last non-role-playing mode event, which could increase his defense (Konoha Village Ninja Vest).

"I was just casually skipping through the story, how did all this random stuff suddenly appear?" His face was grim as he looked at the paused first-person perspective on the large screen in front of him and reviewed the options in his hand once more.

Looking at option 41, he couldn't help but swallow hard, his face flushing red with excitement.

If the protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo, could awaken his power right at the beginning of the story, it would definitely have a significant impact on the plot. The final world origin points obtained would be at least tens of thousands, and with good execution, it wouldn't be impossible to reach hundreds of thousands of E-level origin points!

But when he saw the following sentence (requires 100 million points of E-level world origin), his flushed face instantly cooled down.

He flipped through the pages again, looking at the numerous and complicated options and the amount of Origin Points required. Then he glanced at his meager E-grade Origin Points balance, which was less than 1000, and a mere 8 D-grade Origin Points remaining...

Even if you convert the precious D-grade source into E-grade source points, you can only get 8000 points, which is less than 1 E-grade source points.

"Aaaaaah!!!" He lay on the ground in a frenzy, pounding the ground, looking utterly miserable.

"In the role-playing mode of an E-class world like 'Bleach,' which world evolution is incomplete, which rich bastard is throwing money around to play the protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki?!"

"Does this guy even know how much plot power protects the main character?"

"I was just taking a sip of water and skipping through the plot, how come so many strange things happened out of nowhere?"

"For no apparent reason, before the plot even started, Kurosaki Ichigo's arm exploded and then regenerated, and a random ghost uncle suddenly revived. Now, a ghost girl who just appeared at the beginning of the plot has also appeared."

"That bastard inside Ichigo Kurosaki probably needs hundreds of millions of E-rank Origin Points to impersonate the protagonist, right?"

"And also, how many Origin Points did you bastard spend to use items or abilities to do all this in full role-playing mode?"

Tanaka Yu glanced at the strategy book in his hand and used his mind to search for how many Origin Points he would need to make Kurosaki Isshin, whose spiritual power was completely sealed before the Arrancar arc began, use a Great Fireball Technique in the full role-playing mode.

Unlike the incomplete role-playing mode and the Descent mode, the complete role-playing mode is more like a first-person story game.

There's no need to face life-threatening battles like in the incomplete role-playing mode or the Descent mode. You only need to use your brain to drive the plot forward as much as possible, and the player can remotely interfere with the characters in the plot to a limited extent.

Generally, in full role-playing mode, you cannot use any items you acquire or your own supernatural power system moves. Furthermore, to interfere with these story characters who act according to their established personas, you can only do so by repeatedly choosing or playing according to their character settings, much like in choice-based games with a fixed plot and storyline.

Any choice that goes against the character's established personality requires an increasing amount of world essence to be accepted by the world of Bleach.

Furthermore, to gain more immersive control over its actions and even combat, one must adhere to its character design.

To play a character skilled in combat, the actor must also be able to fight convincingly, and even their fighting style must be similar.

Even if the actor playing a character is very skilled in combat, they must still act as if they are completely incompetent in combat, and try their best not to reveal any details of their combat prowess.

Otherwise, if their character is violated and there are no World Origin Points to offset the loss, they will also suffer a backlash from the plot correction force.

Such a backlash can be life-threatening!
To obtain a large portion of the world's essence, the plot must be altered as much as possible.

Whether the final plot becomes better or worse, the further it deviates from the original work, the more plot interference points it accumulates.

Each choice made accumulates more plot interference points, which means a greater backlash from the world.

To continue making choices, more World Origin Points will be needed to offset the backlash and for the world to acknowledge the altered storyline.

To obtain more Origin Points, one must, while maintaining the character's persona as much as possible, make choices that deviate as much from the original plot at key story nodes, relying on the existing Origin Points.

If done cleverly enough, even if the plot has a way of ending, it can still have a ripple effect, causing a chain reaction and, in ideal circumstances, generating explosive revenue.

After mentally searching the strategy guide, Tanaka Yu's face darkened.

The dynamically changing numbers on the strategy guide indicate that the world has entered a state of high alert because of that damned bastard's interference with the protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo.

Even if I don't attack any characters in the story, just getting Kurosaki Isshin to use a Great Fireball Technique in a secluded place without any spiritual power would cost a full two million Origin Points.

That's a whopping two million points!
Let alone Tanaka Yu alone, even if you sold all five members of their Phantom Spirit Squad and made them sign indentured servitude contracts, you still wouldn't be able to scrape together 200,000 points.

Tanaka Yu groaned weakly, "Are you sick?!"

"No matter how the plot is changed, after the plot interference is settled at the end, the world origin that can be obtained from one plot in this E-level world is normally less than ten million, right?"

"And the penalty kicks have to be allocated according to the plot interference of all the actors involved."

"Even if you, this damn rich guy, spend a fortune to impersonate Kurosaki Ichigo, if you go against Kurosaki Ichigo's character and make different choices during the operation, you will consume an even more exaggerated amount of world essence!"

"Without enough world origin to erase the backlash, there's no way to make a choice. If you force a choice that goes against your character's nature, you'll die instantly from the massive backlash. What on earth is this bastard doing?!"

"What's the point? Just to watch an interesting first-person movie?"

After pounding the ground for a while, watching the countdown on the big screen about to end, the man sighed. "Sigh, with this damn rich guy causing trouble, the backlash from the world has increased from the very beginning."

"My entry this time will cut at least 90% of the World Origin's revenue, and I won't even be able to recoup the entrance fee!"

"You damned bastard, do you know how many Origin Points I spent to buy a role card for a character like the protagonist's father, Kurosaki Isshin?!"

"Ten thousand! Ten thousand! That's all the income I earned from my previous five descents!"

"Forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky. When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems. Just treat it like watching a movie."

With a sigh, actor Yu Tanaka didn't choose any options. He simply took out some popcorn, munched on it, and stared at the big screen, wanting to see how the character Isshin Kurosaki would react to the plot changes.

After hesitating for a while in bed, Kurosaki Isshin finally made a phone call.

drop by drop...

He asked in a low voice, "Hello, is this Urahara?"

A flippant voice came from the other end of the phone. "Oh, it's Mr. Kurosaki. Urahara Store doesn't offer delivery service at this hour!"

Kurosaki Isshin asked in a deep voice, "Urahara, you carefully checked that human named Inoki Jiro from the other day, as well as the scraps of meat and bones I sent you last night, right?"

Urahara replied in a flippant voice, "I have examined it carefully many times. I have thoroughly dissected his physical body and spiritual body."

“Every part has been sampled and analyzed in detail, this is truly…”

The frivolous voice fell silent for a moment, and Kisuke Urahara turned to look at the densely packed glass jars in his laboratory.

Numerous glass jars were divided into two sides, each containing a nutrient solution to maintain the vitality of the vessel's physical body and spiritual body, and soaking numerous slices of brains, internal organs, and limbs.

The bones, muscles, nerves, brain, internal organs, etc. of the physical body and the spirit body are all soaked in the special nutrient solution and kept active.

Furthermore, the Lock Knot, one of the core "organs" within the spirit body that stores and generates spiritual power, and the Soul Sleep, located at the back of the spirit's neck or back and responsible for transmitting the spiritual power generated by the Lock Knot to the whole body to form "spiritual pressure," were also almost perfectly peeled off by extremely skillful techniques and completely immersed in it.

In a sense, the man named Jiro Inoki is still alive, just in a deep sleep.

Both the physical body and the spirit's brain and various tissues are extremely intact and remain active. Kisuke Urahara can bring them back to life simply by sewing them back together.

Of course, it's uncertain whether there will be any minor side effects.
