Mu You promptly shared the "Mirage Season guide" the Lamp Genie had kindly provided in the group chat.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the detailed mechanics. As the saying went, the unknown was the most frightening thing. However complicated and dangerous the rules were, their threat plummeted once they were revealed.
"So the abandoned city we're seeing is real, just somewhere else?" Son of Heaven asked.
"Yes," Mu You replied. "So I suggest we set out immediately and find the real abandoned city. As long as we can find and light that Soul-Guiding Lamp, even if this pioneering attempt fails, we can teleport back whenever we want next time without going through the lake bottom again."
"Okay."
"No problem..."
No one objected, and they briefly divided up the tasks in the group chat.
They waited a little in the game, then scattered according to their original plan once their characters woke up, searching in several different directions for clues to the ancient city.
What Mu You hadn't expected was that he, the one who had provided the guide, would be the last to wake up.
According to the Lamp Genie, each time they fell asleep in the mirage mist, it took two to eight hours to wake up normally.
During that time, anyone who had taken Nightmare Powder could wake up whenever they were attacked. But if they hadn't slept for at least two hours, they would soon fall asleep again after waking.
Of the two powders, Nightmare Powder was clearly better, since it offered a chance to wake early. Sweet Dream Powder might be safe, but users could only sleep until they woke naturally. With bad luck, a single sleep could take seven or eight hours-a third of the day gone just like that.
