Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Side Story - Live Streaming World 29

Yi Zichu arrived back with someone on the back of his motorcycle.

That person was exceptionally tall; even as he bent his back sitting behind, he towered over Yi Zichu by a large margin. From a distance, it looked as if Yi Zichu had brought back a Giant.

According to Yi Zichu’s introduction, this Giant was surnamed Hai, tentatively referred to as Uncle Hai.

Uncle Hai was also surviving on subsistence allowances, struggling on the poverty line, so despite his height, he was severely malnourished and looked extremely pale.

Yi Zichu took him to the canteen, first handed him a cup of hot tea, then made a simple egg fried rice with the leftover rice from lunch; fearing he wouldn’t be full, he specially added a portion of sausage and opened a packet of pickled vegetables, placing everything in front of him—

This uncle wasn’t shy; he ate whatever was before him, silently devouring all the food on the table.

Bai Youwei sat across the table, quietly observing him, and when he finally finished, she opened her mouth to speak:

"Can we talk now? About the stuff in the competitive zone."

After a satisfying burp, Uncle Hai picked up the tea on the table for a couple of gulps, wiped his mouth, and replied: "If you had looked for me half a year earlier, I could have gotten in touch with them to gather information for you, but now... I can only give you news from a year ago."

Bai Youwei was slightly taken aback, "Can people from different zones contact each other?"

"Ordinary means, of course not. But by using some functions inherent to the world itself... or rather say, small bugs, it’s possible to achieve contact between people from different zones."

He leaned back, looking at Bai Youwei, "You know about the backpack function, right? The initial grid has 4 slots; upgrading it turns into 8 slots, and after another upgrade, 12 slots..."

"I know," Bai Youwei frowned, "The backpack can ignore the size and weight of items. But I think it’s enough for now, so I only upgraded once."

Upgrading once required 10,000 points, and upgrading to the second level would need 30,000 points. Bai Youwei felt it wasn’t cost-effective.

Uncle Hai mysteriously smiled and said, "You should upgrade once more. After expanding the backpack to 12 slots, there’s an additional function."

Bai Youwei asked, "What additional function?"

Uncle Hai answered, "Within the 12 slots, one can be designated as the family-shared backpack, which can be linked for use by up to two people."

He looked at Yi Zichu and Ning Yao beside Bai Youwei, continuing to explain: "For instance, if you have a son and a daughter, and their points or backpack levels can’t match yours, they can use the family-shared backpack when there are not enough slots available. When they use it, you’ll be informed."

Yi Zichu: "..."

Ning Yao: "..."

The feeling of suddenly becoming someone’s children wasn’t pleasant.

Bai Youwei on this side quickly sorted out her thoughts, following Uncle Hai’s words and said: "So, if I put a letter in the shared backpack, the person associated with me as family will receive it, even if they’re in different zones, this function still works."

"Exactly," Uncle Hai nodded, "When I had just transferred from the competitive zone for that period, I was in almost daily contact with my brother like this."

Bai Youwei couldn’t help asking, "What about now? Why can’t you contact him anymore?"

"He died." He gave the answer crisply, lowering his eyelids, "The name in the related field became ’this user does not exist’, so, I suppose he must be dead..."

Bai Youwei was momentarily at a loss for words.

But Uncle Hai seemed to have already moved past the shadow of death, and after a brief silence, he unchangingly said, "The mortality rate in the competitive zone is extremely high, different from the living zone. There, earning points is literally a fight for life."

He slightly lifted his eyelids, glancing at Bai Youwei, "In your case, I don’t suggest you transfer zones. It’s best to find someone like me who’s transferred from the competitive to the living zone, have them try to contact your friend. Then have your friend transfer to the living zone - that’s the safest and most reliable strategy."
