Gamers Are Fierce

Chapter 124: Association

   As for the second hot event, it is a very popular post among the tech nerds.

   The post was originally posted on the 4chan Internet forum by an anonymous netizen. The content of the post was only a picture with white text on a black background.

   The text above the picture to the effect

   "We designed a puzzle, and the first clue is in this picture.

   solve it, find us.

   Earn your qualifications to join us. We will be the player's qualification and gift it to the final winner.

good luck.

   Syndicate. "

   This ordinary picture was initially regarded as a nonsense prank, but there are always a few idle netizens who investigate it deeply.

   After opening the picture in Notepad, there are a lot of garbled characters inside.

   Netizens soon discovered that this bunch of seemingly messy garbled codes is a multi-table password "Virginia Code" expanded on the basis of the Caesar Code.

   Netizens use the Greek etymology "syndikos" of "Syndicate" as the key to decrypt the garbled code and obtain a URL.

   After entering the website, a picture is displayed. Above the picture is a line of links to a certain section of the 4chan forum, and below the picture is a long series of numbers.

After    clicked on the link, the revised version was all more than one hundred posts published by an anonymous user. The name and content of the post were a bunch of irregular strings.

   After decoding the string with the numbers in the picture, you can get a bunch of Sumerian cuneiform characters,

   Then compare the cuneiform text with the digital ID of the poster, and get a new line of digital clues.

   Then use the digital clue as a key, use the RSA asymmetric encryption algorithm to decode the string, and get a new line of text.

   This text gives a book code for "Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes" and prompts to use digital clues again.

   The magical netizens found the book,

   and converted the number clues into English. After arranging it vertically, I found a certain page in the book according to the alphabetical order.

   There are quite a lot of English words on this page. I used the initial series of numbers to compare and filter out the letters, and finally got the sentence "9522, find the two prime numbers of the original picture"

  The technologists quickly guessed that the two prime numbers in this sentence are the length and width of the original picture with white characters on a black background.

   After multiplying the length by the width by 9522, the technicians get an 11-digit number and add it after this number to form a new website.

   After all the hard work, the technical experts who thought they could finally find the answer, after clicking on the website, they were surprised to find that the website was still a password.

   And the webpage is not static, it will refresh every hour with new content, repeat every six hours, and change four sets of webpages every day.

  The password content provided by these web pages is strange, involving elliptic curve encryption algorithm, ancient Greek prophecy, astrology, classical music, group theory, poultry breeding care, etc...

   Seven days later, the webpage was closed, a total of 28 sets of passwords were added together to point to an anonymous website,

   Through this website, you can contact the mysterious organization that the poster belongs to.

  The global tech houses participating in the decryption game just thought it was a small organization formed by a certain high-end tech house, and at best was a test used by the intelligence department to select cryptographic talents.

   But the player community knows that at the beginning of the post, "we will become the player's qualification and give it to the final winner", it may really refer to the player's qualification.

   This kind of puzzle-solving game full of nerd flavor made Li Ang quickly think of the whale song organization to which the black Trojan belongs.

   However, when he contacted the black Trojan horse, the latter said he didn't know if he asked.

   "This decryption activity should be released by a brand new organization called ‘Syndicate’? We Whale Song have not engaged in this kind of public recruitment yet."

   The black Trojan said in a friend's call: "However, many people inside Whale Song are trying to decrypt. By the way, where are you?"

   Li Ang gave a haha, saying that he was busy eating and sleeping and playing Doudou. He had missed several sets of code deciphering and could not keep up with the progress of others.

   In fact, Li Ang was not slow to decipher, but after getting the final answer, he did not try to contact the so-called "syndicate".

   What are you kidding about, this kind of secret organization that pretends to be a ghost is counted as one, and they are not as reliable as a special agency.

   Regardless of whether there is a wild genius like Li Ang who has decoded all the codes, contacted the syndicate and obtained the player qualifications,

   The whole thing has caused a considerable impact on the global player community.

   Single-handedly, alone, they can't go far in modern human society, not to mention that they are in an extremely sinister and murderous killing game.

  Perhaps, players who are weak in power can also be like Syndicate, through open recruitment,

   Contact some like-minded players with the same ideal aspirations to form small-scale organizations and associations.

   Anyway, friends do not cost money.

  So, there have been many messy small secret associations on the forum, springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain~www.wuxiaspot.com~What is the "Shark Beating Center"

   "Flying Pasta God"

   "Ubisoft is sometimes my elder brother and sometimes my wife"

   "The Earl of Glamorgan Association"

   "Brother Steel♂Brother♂ Meeting"

   "Phoenix Chaldea"

   "Our comrades have even penetrated the enemy from all over the world"

   "Summer of Far East Magic Day Bed and Association"

  "Amalgam"

   "Rainbow Hermes"

   "The black organization today is another day of infiltration"

   These small secret associations whose names are longer than one are mostly playful and spoof elements.

   However, there are also real players who are working hard, awkwardly building a rudimentary organizational structure, absorbing other players, and even ordinary people with special talents.

   This kind of small secret association that mixes players and ordinary people is of course far inferior to the Epiphany Organization, Whale Song, and the official institutions formed by various state agencies.

   But in time, the killing game spreads out on a large scale, this kind of secret association of three or two big cats and kittens may grow into behemoths.

   Li Ang didn't bother with syndicate or other player organizations. He still played an ordinary high school sophomore with his dedication and continued his studies.

  The daily life of Yin City Experimental Middle School is lacklustre,

   Culture classes will continue, and physical education classes that are actually military training must continue.

   Shi Qingsong, the head teacher, slowly recovered from his injuries, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to campus soon. Li Ang’s acquaintance school doctor Cangxiu asked for leave to travel abroad...

   Amidst the calm, Li Ang, who was sitting on nearly five thousand game currency, finally found what he wanted on the mall shelf.
