Under the collective efforts of everyone in the group, the password was quickly cracked.
This string of numbers was made up of 0, 12, and 0 did not appear consecutively. It could be seen as a separator, which naturally made people think of Morse code.
Using 0 as a separator, 1 as a "." and 2 as a "-", he obtained a string of Morse code.
--.-..-...-.....-..-.-...--..-.-..-.-.....-.-.....-...-.-.-...
According to the Morse code comparison table, it could be converted into a string of English.
Then, he could continue deciphering the letters in The Lonely Desert Road.
Nine squares.
According to the hyphenated meaning, it was' soujingjilvshe '.
The players in the group didn't spend too much time cracking the code because they already had a standard answer for cracking the code. The Morse code in the code was a common encryption method, so it wasn't difficult to crack.
Qiao Liang was a little excited. The feeling of solving the puzzle with so many people and participating personally made him very excited.
"The second string of passwords only added two more steps. The other encryption methods weren't changed. The next few steps are still letters to numbers, numbers to nine squares, and then double spelling."
"Why don't you try a few more encryption methods?"
"Is it because Boss Pei's knowledge is limited and he only knows these few encryption methods? Or is it simply because of laziness? "
"Oh … No, no, no. It's a bit too much to think that way."
"Boss Pei must have felt that it was not easy to find such a well-hidden password in Game Designer. That's why he decided to be lenient and lower the difficulty of cracking this password?
"Is this a form of pity for the players' hard work?"
"Yes! That must be it. "
Qiao Liang did not think much about it. He immediately opened TPDb and found the search box.
The two passwords combined would be pingfendewangzhan, soujingjilvshe.
Thus, Qiao Liang entered 'jingjilvshe' into the search box on the TPDb page and clicked search.
There was no result.
He then entered "jyjilvue", but there was no result either.
"It seems like … I have to input Chinese characters?"
Qiao Liang thought about it. This pinyin was ambiguous. Was it 'Thorns Hostel', 'Economy Hostel', or 'Silent Hostel'?
There are many homonyms.
Of course, trying out all the homophones was not a bad idea, but it was a little stupid.
However, Qiao Liang recalled the poster from before.
Behind the bloody handprints on the poster was a special red logo. On top of the logo was an obtuse triangle, similar to the spire of a house, and below it was a string of English words: Palpitation Hotel!
Palpitation meant 'palpitation', so the name of this hostel was obvious. It should be 'Thriller Hostel'!
The meaning of "palpitation" was "palpitation for no reason" or "sudden palpitation". That was to say, this kind of fear did not come from a sudden shock or a horrifying atmosphere. Instead, it came from an unknown premonition in an environment that did not seem to be so exaggerated. It was a great fear that came from an unknown premonition!
Qiao Liang was elated. Solving this puzzle seemed to be just around the corner!
He quickly searched for the words' Thriller Hostel 'in the input box. As expected, the page changed!
All the information on the original TPDb website disappeared. Blobs of black appeared on the page, dyeing the entire webpage pure black.
Then, two input boxes appeared in the center of the screen.
There were no prompts around these two input boxes. They were just two lonely empty boxes.
Qiao Liang first entered the two passwords that he had deciphered before pressing the enter key, but there was no response.
He thought about it, entered his Tengda account and password, and then pressed the enter key.
Still no response!
Qiao Liang, "?"
He tried many more, including the two initial passwords, the cracked double pinyin characters, Chinese characters, and so on. Still, there was no response.
Considering that it might not be the enter key, he changed to the spacebar, CTRL, TAB, SHIFT, and so on. Still, there was no response!
He reversed the account and password, but there was still no response!
After trying for half an hour, Qiao Liang felt dizzy.
He had tried many combinations, but the two input boxes just hung on the webpage. No matter how hard he tried, there was no response!
Qiao Liang calmed down and looked through his fan group. Indeed, no one could find a solution. They were all stuck at the input box step.
He did not know what to input into it!
Qiao Liang stopped trying and stopped to think.
Obviously, everyone had no problem solving the puzzle so far.
The reason why they were stuck at the input box step was that they were missing some crucial information. There seemed to be no clear prompts on what to input.
Qiao Liang frowned, thinking about the possibilities.
"Are there more clues hidden in other games? Are there clear requirements on what to input?
"Or did I miss out on some information?
"Up until now, not a single player has succeeded in taking this step. Clearly, this is another puzzle for everyone …"
…
At that moment, Pei Qian was in his office, paying attention to the puzzle-solving situation of the players on the forum.
"… F * ck, the clue in Game Designer was found so quickly?"
Pei Qian was also shocked.
He had thought that the clue in Game Designer was hidden very well and would last for a long time.
That was because there were many endings in Game Designer. Very few people had completed the 'losing everything' ending. Most people only needed to make a few correct choices to not end up like this.
Coincidentally, this was also the ending that Pei Qian liked and looked forward to the most. That was why he stuffed the second string of passwords into the corner of the penultimate scene.
In the end, not long after the first string of passwords was cracked, the second string of passwords was found and cracked at the speed of light!
Of course, it was cracked at the speed of light mainly because Pei Qian did not use any other encryption methods. Compared to the first one, which only added numbers to Morse code, it was relatively simple.
The players who had cracked the first message already knew the method. They just had to follow it.
As for the second password, Pei Qian wanted to make it more complicated. However, time was tight, and Pei Qian did not have that much knowledge. He was also not willing to ask others for help. Thus, he slacked off, thinking that everyone would not find it so quickly.
In the end, reality slapped him in the face. This group of players was too crazy!
The good thing was that there was still one-third of the puzzle to be solved as the last line of defense.
"You must hold on!"
Pei Qian took a look. There were still three weeks until settlement. It was impossible for this puzzle to stop all players. However, as long as he could reduce the number of players who bought the game before settlement, his efforts would not be in vain!
After that, Pei Qian looked at everyone's views on Otto Technologies online.
The review of the E1 cell phone.
Two days had passed since the press conference, and the first batch of review videos and reports had basically been released. The popularity of the press conference had also reached its peak yesterday.
Chang You's long speech at the news conference caused a heated discussion. Many people on the internet were challenging this speech. Many people recorded it and uploaded it to Aili Island's website. The number of views was very high.
The original video of the news conference had also been posted on Aili Island's website. It had become one of the top three most popular videos in the digital section. It had even become a one-day tour of the homepage.
Generally speaking, it was very difficult for a technology brand's press conference to reach such a high ranking.
That was because the content of other brands' news conferences, be it for computers, cell phones, or other digital products was usually very low in information density. Most of the content in the news conference was marketing rhetoric that could be summarized in a few paragraphs.
What's more, the entire news conference was live-streamed. People who were really interested would have already seen it. They would not watch the video again.
Thus, the video of the entire news conference would not be very popular.
On the other hand, videos that condensed the content of the news conference into three to five minutes of criticism would be quite popular.
However, the video of Otto Technologies' news conference was completely different.
First of all, the content of the news conference was extremely concise. It was all condensed into less than an hour. What's more, there were many jokes throughout the whole process. The information density was high, and the program effect was good.
Secondly, many people on the internet did not pay attention to the news conference at all. They only found out about it after Chang You's recital became a hot topic. That was why they watched the video to understand what was going on.
Thus, the video of the news conference also increased. The problems of the low popularity during the live-stream and the lack of attention on the internet were completely resolved!
Coupled with the fact that there were no new product launches by major manufacturers recently, the review and uploaders in the digital area gathered together to discuss Otto Technologies
Therefore, the review and UP Masters in the digital section gathered together to watch the Otto E1 cell phone review video!
Pei Qian carefully watched all the review videos of the Otto E1 cell phone.
After watching the review video of the E1 cell phone, the situation could be said to be mixed.
The worrying thing was that the review media really put in a good word for this cell phone!
The review media explained the various advantages of this cell phone in detail during the introduction process. They said that this cell phone was made of 'solid materials'. They also explained the various benefits that came with it in detail.
It looked like this was the aftereffect of Tengda's' providing food, accommodation, and gifts' during the news conference.
The good thing was that after a period of ferment, the reverse psychology of netizens appeared!
The reviews of the review media were not bad, but some of the shortcomings of this cell phone still appeared. For example, it was expensive, heavy, and could not be snatched!
There was no need to talk about 'expensive' and 'heavy'. This cell phone had undoubtedly obtained the titles of '250kg machine' and '250kg gull'. At the same time, it was also called 'aristocratic cell phone' and 'IQ tax product'. This might be a misunderstanding, but it also confused the eyes of some onlookers.
However, Chang You had already carried out a comprehensive and flawless self-deprecation on these two problems at the news conference. Thus, the criticism on the internet now seemed a little insignificant.
These two points did not cause too much of a reaction.
Instead, it gave Otto E1 a 'Really Valuable Item' label.
The most critical black point was still that 'could not snatch it'. As a result, many netizens treated this as a marketing campaign with ulterior motives!

PS. The password was too long previously, and I missed a letter. I'm very sorry. I've already corrected it. However, a few big shots still managed to solve it. The puzzle in the input box was very difficult for the characters in the book to solve, but readers should be able to guess it. Everyone, feel free to speak your mind in this chapter. I'll like it if anyone guesses it correctly.
