Halfway up the mountain, Zhao Lei talked to the mysterious old man. From Link's perspective, Zhao Lei learned more details about the game.
Because Link had just woken up and had lost all his memories, this situation was very similar to the players who had just entered the game. This kind of newbie guidance was very considerate and natural.
The mysterious old man sat beside a bonfire at the bottom of the cliff, waiting for Link to come and talk to him.
There was also a roasted apple and a torch at the bottom of the cliff. When Link picked them up, the corresponding dialogue would be triggered.
The place Link was at now was called the Starter Mesa, the birthplace of the Hailaru Kingdom. The temple not far away was the one used by the Hailaru Kingdom to worship. It was just that after the fall of the Hailaru Kingdom 100 years ago, the temple was abandoned.
The old man briefly explained the use of "fire" to Link. On one hand, it could roast the apple and regenerate more HP. On the other hand, it could be used to light wooden weapons and wave them around the lush grass to set it on fire.
"Oh? Does this mean that not only torches, but even branches can be lit on the bonfire? "
Zhao Lei had just picked up a branch from the ground. He held it in his hand and waved it lightly on the bonfire.
"Whoosh!"
The flame immediately sprang up. Link held the branch in his hand and used it exactly the same way he used a torch.
"This is quite interesting. Other games require a torch to light up or light things, but all the wooden weapons here can be lit … Just now, I said that I can roast the apple. What if I use a branch to roast it?"
Zhao Lei held the lit branch and walked to the side of another apple tree. He brought the flame closer to the apple on the tree.
"Sizzle …"
The bright red apple began to smoke under the influence of the flame. Its surface gradually changed from bright red to dark red. Then, it fell to the ground with a plop.
"Damn, it's really cooked? The apple will fall to the ground when it's cooked. Newton didn't lie to me. "
Zhao Lei held the branch and walked to the side of an unlit bonfire. With a light wave, this bonfire was also lit.
"… This is fun! Hmm, so I'm passing fire? It feels like the manager is paying tribute to his own Dark Souls. "
Zhao Lei suddenly became playful. He held the torch and approached a lush bush. As a result, the flame sprang up with a "whoosh". Moreover, under the gentle breeze, it quickly spread towards the grassland in the distance.
Because Link was too close to the bushes, his body was also set on fire. Zhao Lei hurriedly ran and jumped on the spot to put out the fire.
"You can even burn grass? And different materials have different effects when burned? Amazing, this degree of freedom is quite high! "
Zhao Lei originally thought that the flames would be extinguished after burning through the eye-catching bushes, but it turned out that even the grass on the ground could burn. If it was in another game, this kind of grass would definitely be part of the landmark map and would definitely not be lit.
The fire finally stopped. When Zhao Lei got closer, he saw that the grass on the ground had been burnt to a crisp and had turned into ash. It was impossible to light it up again.
"Interesting …"
Just as Zhao Lei was thinking, the branch in his hand burned out with a crack.
If a torch was used to light a fire, it could burn forever. However, if a branch or other wooden weapons were used to light a fire, the fire would consume its durability. Once the durability was depleted, it would automatically be destroyed.
There was no mission notification, so Zhao Lei was not in a hurry. He just walked aimlessly until he came to a lake on the right. There seemed to be a sword on the island in the middle of the lake.
On the surface of the lake, the green duckweed formed a ring. Link jumped into the water gracefully and landed right in the middle of the ring of duckweed.
"Wow, this is a bit like the leap of faith! But the movement, the splash, and the acceleration of the fall are all very well done. I feel like this is a game that would make Newton smile in the underworld … "
The moment Link entered the water, a small green fellow appeared on the surface of the lake. This little fellow looked like a leaf with a face. In its left hand was a propeller made of a tree branch, and it floated in the air.
"Ahaha! You found me! "
"Huh? I thought it was Berkulin. That really scared me. I am Kroger, a forest elf! If you see Berkulin, help me give this to him! "
"Right, there are many places with my companions. If you find anything suspicious, try to find them."
[Kroger's Fruit: A small fruit given by Kroger. Good things will happen after collecting it. Why does it smell so bad …]
"So, this circular duckweed means that Kroger is here? This should be the collecting element in the game, right? This name is a bit of a mouthful. Let's call it Ahaha … "
Zhao Lei muttered as he swam towards the island in the middle of the lake.
What disappointed him was that the "Sword in the Stone" he saw from afar was only a rusty sword. Although its damage was higher than that of a tree branch, a torch, or a firewood ax, the line of words [Once used, will immediately break] was still a pain in the ass.
"It's actually a" True Sword in the Stone. "It really is stuck in a rock …"
After obtaining the rusty sword, Zhao Lei continued forward.
Along the way, he would encounter a few small monsters. These creatures called Pokeblins appeared to have low intelligence. They were like red-skinned pig-headed monsters that could walk upright.
As he fought, Zhao Lei discovered a very strange setting of "The Legend of Zelda". That was … all weapons could break!
Yes, whether it was a rusty sword, axe, or tree branch, when used to attack enemies, their durability would decrease. Once the durability reached zero, they would explode.
In order to make up for this situation, all the weapons in the hands of monsters would drop. Furthermore, different types of weapons had their own attributes. Not only would monsters drop their weapons when they die, but when monsters were sent flying or stunned, their weapons would also drop. Link could then pick them up and use them.
As for those monsters without weapons, they could only rush over with their bare hands or simply pick up stones from the ground and throw them at Link …
Although there were many weapons, Zhao Lei still felt his heart ache. That rusty sword might not have a nice name, but it was the weapon with the highest attack power he had. To have it break after just a few hits, it was simply heart-wrenching …
After dealing with a few small monsters, Zhao Lei was about to continue forward when he heard Princess Zelda's voice again.
"Link … quickly go to the place shown on the map on the Sicar Slate …"
Zhao Lei took out the Sicar Slate and opened up the map.
The entire map was still pitch black. He could only see the blue dividing lines between the various regions.
At that moment, Link was at the starting platform. On the upper right corner, there was a small yellow dot that was flashing.
"This map … is so big?! Is this really an open-world game?! "
Zhao Lei was shocked. He tried to look at the size of the map …
