That very night, Xuanxuan knocked on Lu Mi's dormitory door with dozens of keys:
"There are a lot of duplicates, but I kept track. There should be twenty-nine different ones."
"You said there were thirty patterns on the Formation Diagram, so we're still missing one. It's probably from a really difficult dungeon instance-"
Lu Mi held up the key that had flown out of the mirror.
Xuanxuan said, "Forget I said anything... Lu Mi, you're freaking awesome!"
"You're pretty amazing too, Xuanxuan," Lu Mi said, putting the key away. "If I remember correctly, you entered your dungeon instance at the same time we did."
"You mean I only just got out, but I've already collected this many keys?" Xuanxuan laughed. "I asked my friends for help before I went in-wherever you are, never underestimate Wo Xuanxuan's connections!"
They took no rest that night. Lu Mi and his friends entered Wonderful Dream once again to finish their work in its stretched-out time.
It wasn't because they were afraid of running out of time. After all, only a fifth of the time limit the Lord of Evil had given them had passed.
It was because Lu Mi had set foot in the place where those stone tablets stood and seen the contents of every dungeon instance.
And Cheng Cheng had outright grabbed a ghost spectator and brought him into a dungeon instance. What they had done was enough to get them publicly executed countless times over. Lu Mi suspected that 2044 had something to do with their still being alive.
But he couldn't put his mind at ease. They had to end all of this before that final boss noticed them.
This time, however, Roman was the one who suggested entering Wonderful Dream.
He chose the setting too: a secluded little tavern
