Only after mingling with these Rats players did Lin Yuan learn that searching the Library was something of an art.
From the lower floors to the higher ones, the probability of finding high-quality Blueprint Boxes gradually increased.
But that was an easily discovered pattern. The real tricks lay in the details.
For example, the lower and middle floors of the Library had already been searched many times by Rats players, and most places had been rummaged through repeatedly.
Newcomers who blindly searched places like these would find almost nothing.
Veteran Rats players, however, would leave marks on rooms they had searched, so other Rats players who saw them would not waste their time.
But Rats players came in all sorts, and the marks they left varied too. Some selfish Rats left no marks, while others even left false marks to stake out territory in advance.
For Rats players operating on the lower and middle floors, experience in identifying these marks mattered most.
On the middle and upper floors, things were different again.
Hunters became more active here, and for Rats players who dared operate in these areas, perception, concealment, and the ability to flee mattered most.
The most unusual place was the Library's top floor.
It was a paradise for Hunters. Only the most seasoned Rats players dared set foot there, and even among those veterans, more than half ultimately had their haul confiscated by Hunters.
According to the team of Rats players with Lilia, they had once entered the Library's top floor too, but before long, a team of Hunters had discovered them and taken everything they had gathered along the way.
"We count as extremely seasoned 'Rats' ourselves. We've been coming to the Library since the first day of the Instance, so we certainly have plenty of experience.
