Chapter 48 - Such a Dumb Encryption Method
n
n
nTime quietly passed.
nThe entire city was in a deep slumber.
nAn encryption hobbyist organization did not rest for the whole night. They were studying one card. It was because this card had made all the Card Creators feel at a loss.
nFrom day till night and from night till dawn.
nThe sky had turned bright.
nA group of Card Creators looked up dazedly.
nIt was already morning?
nThey had been studying this card for an entire night and yet, they had not succeeded in doing so!
nThis…
nWhat the hell was this encryption method?
nAt the beginning, they thought that this was a modified version of the D Encryption!
nHence, they had been using D Encryption methods to crack it. However, after examining it for a long time, they discovered that something was not quite right. They could only restart all over again!
nA derivative?
nReversed version?
nEveryone was a little confused.
nThe D Encryption was the basic and it was widely used. Therefore, building on the base of the original D Encryption, many people had popularized and derived various versions of it.
nThe algorithm might have been slightly modified but no matter the changes, it was in essence a D Encryption!
nHowever, the one before them…
nThey could not figure it out!
nClearly, it felt like a D Encryption but the lines…
nWrong!
n“This is clearly a D Encryption!”
nOne of the Card Creators widened his eyes.
nHe would not get it wrong.
nHe had been researching the cracking methods of D Encryption for ten years. How could he be wrong? He knew that this thing was purely formed by D Encryption just by sensing the energy once.
nHowever, when he tried to crack it using the D Encryption cracking method…
nClick!
nThe card collapsed immediately.
n…
nThere was pin-drop silence in the almost empty room.
nWhat was encryption?
nIt was a black box!
nOne could see that there was only endless black.
nOne could only rely on their experience, feelings and perception to judge what kind of encryption it was. Then, one could crack the encryption algorithm based on one’s own solution!
nIf it was a success, it would open immediately.
nIf it was a failure…
nThe card would be destroyed.
n“Are there anymore cards?”
n“Yes.”
nThe assistant sent another card over. “But there are not many left.”
n“I know,” The Card Creator said agitatedly.
nDamn it!
nThis was clearly D Encryption!
nWhy could he not figure it out?
nThey were going crazy.
n“Could it be a composite encryption?”
nSomeone made a guess.
n“Impossible.”
nSomeone rejected this notion directly. “How can Lu Ming possibly master a skill at that level? Moreover, there are only traces of D Encryption on this.”
n“You’re right.”
nEveryone was deeply convinced.
nThey had studied this card for the entire night and there were only trace of D Encryption!
nDamn.
nWhat the hell was this card?!
nEveryone was lost.
nThis three hundred thousand yuan was not easy to earn.
nAt this moment, they felt that this was a very thorny issue.
nCertainly, it was not a problem to crack it. They could sense that the encryption algorithm was not complicated. If they were given the time, they would be able to crack it with ease.
nHowever…
nThey did not have the time!
nTwelve hours. Only two hours were left and they were still clueless!
nThey really did not understand. This was just a small card that was sold for two thousand yuan. In addition, it was created by a one-star Card Creator. What kind of encryption could he come up with?
n“What should we do?”
nEveryone looked at each other.
nIf they were not able to crack it in two hours, their business would be greatly impacted.
n“Why don’t we use the Universal Decryption Card.”
nSomeone said.
nUniversal Decryption Card…
nEveryone was silent.
nThe so-called Decryption Card was a card that corresponded with the encryption. However, it was only possible for a Decryption Card of a higher level to crack the encryption lines.
nA Decryption Card was typically many times more expensive than an Encryption Card.
nThis was because the cracking algorithm needed to cater for the existence of all possible kinds of encryption lines.
nWhat about the Universal Decryption Card?
nIn theory, it could crack all cards!
nIt was very expensive!
nIt not only contained a huge quantity of encryption algorithms but also could deduce encryption algorithms that had never appeared before. It was an omnipotent algorithm in every sense of the word.
nAs long as the level did not exceed that of its own, it could crack anything!
nThis card in their hands…
nIt cost one million yuan.
n“This business only earns us three hundred thousand yuan!”
nThey felt very upset.
n“What should we do?”
nEveryone instinctively looked at the one holding the top role. He was Shen Dongyi, the boss of their organization.
n“We can earn back the money that is lost. But our reputation… ”
nShen Dongyi sighed.
nBusiness like theirs could not afford to fail.
nThis time, they had misunderstood this card to be a derivative of D Encryption due to poor judgment. Since they had accepted the deal, they had to complete it. Otherwise, who would look for them in the future?
nFurthermore…
n“We can also attain a new encryption technique,” Shen Dongyi said.
n“This is a brand new encryption technique!”
n“It is different from the D Encryption techniques in the market. We have tried more than three hundred derivatives of D Encryption but none match it.”
n“So… ”
n“This is also our opportunity!”
n“If we can master this brand new D Encryption technique, it will be very impactful.”
nShen Dongyi looked grave.
nThis was a new encryption technique. If they could succeed in cracking it this time, it would be a valuable experience for them.
nOne million yuan!
nIt could buy them a new technique. It was worth it then!
n“Okay.”
nEveryone looked at each other.
n“Let’s begin.”
nShen Dongyi gave the orders.
nBuzz—
nA touch of brilliance passed.
nThe Decryption Card was officially activated.
nIt floated on the Pet Card gently and began to sway. Faint lights shrouded. Layers of light and shadow began to encircle the two cards.
nIt was making a deduction!
nIt was cracking it!
nThis one million yuan Decryption Card contained countless cracking techniques!
n“Come on!”
nEveryone was on tenterhooks as they looked on.
nTime and tide wait for no man. The Universal Decryption Card needed time as well.
nThey had to crack it in two hours. Fortunately, the level of this Universal Decryption Card was high enough. They believed that it should be able to crack it in two hours…
nDing!
nThere was a faint sound.
nThe cracking succeeded in just three seconds.
nThere was a flash of light.
nThe layer of jet black lines seemed to be disappearing slowly from the surface of the card. They became clear. At this moment, the Decryption Card also vanished completely, turning into countless particles.
n“???”
nEveryone was dumbstruck.
nIt was successful?
nThree seconds?
nWhat did this mean?
nThey hoped that it would crack the encryption successfully but not so quickly. Didn’t that mean that the Decryption Card already had all of the lines in it?!
nCould it be lines that they were already aware of?
nEveryone dashed over. However, they were stunned at the first sight of those lines.
nCrap!
nThis was their first reaction.
nThis was because, as expected, the D Encryption appeared before them!
nTwo layers of D Encryption!
nJust this?
nTheir eyes widened.
nDamn. Who would have expected two layers of D Encryption?
nWho the hell would think of this?!
nWhat was the D Encryption technique?
nIt was the lowest encryption technique!
nAnd Lu Ming?
nHe was the lowest level one-star Card Creator!
nWhat about lamination?
nIt was a powerful technique that only high-level Card Creators could master!
n“Crap!”
nEveryone was having an emotional breakdown.
nIt was no wonder…
nIt was no wonder that they failed to crack it although it clearly felt like the D Encryption! It was actually because the two D Encryptions had been placed together through lamination.
nDamn it!
nIf they had known that this was the case, they would have cracked it in minutes!
nWhat was so difficult about it?
nUnfortunately, they could not figure it out after spending an entire night. Hence, they had no choice but to use this expensive Decryption Card. Yet, this was the outcome.
nThere wasn’t any new technique!
nThere was no complicated encryption but only a pitiful double encryption!
nSo as to speak…
nThis damned double encryption made them wasted one precious Decryption Card?
nOh, that was not the only thing. The cracking job this time was more costly and time-consuming than the double B Encryption and C Compound Encryption that they had cracked the last time.
nIt was really…
nEveryone had the look of ‘What the F***!’ on their faces.
nIn normal circumstances, a Card Creator who had mastered the Lamination Technique would at least start with a B Encryption? Furthermore, who would laminate two D Encryptions that were exactly the same?
nThere was basically no level of difficulty in it!
nWere there holes in their brains?!
nAs long as one was aware that it was two D Encryptions, they would be able to crack it in a matter of minutes?
nThis was crazy!
nAt the very least, you could have a D Encryption and a C Encryption, right? The encryption algorithm would be more difficult then?
nHowever, this… this was nothing.
nIt only had a simple D Encryption. There was just one more layer of it on top!
nEveryone looked at each other.
n“I’ll give it a try.”
nOne of them gritted his teeth.
nHe took a new Pet Card and immediately ran the solution to cracking the D Encryption. He simply ran and circled it twice before inputting… Yes…
nThe cracking was successful!
nEveryone’s face turned pale.
nUnder normal circumstances, who would be so stupid to simply run two D Encryptions to crack this?
nThat would simply be a waste of cards!
nBut now…
nThey suddenly felt that this damned double D encryption was a total humiliation to them!
nDamn!
nThis was bullying!
