Dragon Raja's Number One Player

Chapter 15: Deciphering the Code

………………

"Oh no!" Lin Zhiying thought to himself, realizing something was wrong.

It turns out that Caesar never fully trusted him.

Looking at Caesar in front of him, Lin Zhiying knew he had no way to refuse.

If he refuses now, everything he said before will be overturned, and Caesar will definitely turn hostile on the spot.

The two faced off like that, and time seemed to stand still.

"Okay, then let's go to that worktable over there."

Finally, Lin Zhiying couldn't withstand the pressure and forced himself to speak.

He pointed to the workbench not far away, and Caesar nodded to express his opinion.

The suitcase was placed on the worktable, stirring up the dust that had accumulated on it.

The flash on Caesar's phone had been turned on at some point.

His gaze swept over the circle of photos pasted on the worktable, finally landing on the aluminum alloy box containing the half-decayed World Tree, which he gently stroked.

"This is a specially made alloy briefcase from the academy's equipment department, usually only used to store classified items."

"Its production was extremely limited because those guys thought there was no point in making equipment that couldn't explode, so they were unwilling to produce more. Therefore, each suitcase had a special serial number, but I didn't find it on this suitcase."

Caesar's finger rested on a spot on the edge of the box, where there should have been an indented code, but it was now smooth.

This box was not coded when it was made.

There is only one possibility for this situation.

The contents or users inside are so important that Norma cannot enter them into the system.

Caesar noticed this when he got his hands on it, which was one of the reasons he wanted Lin Zhiying to open it in front of him.

"You only have three chances. Although the box won't explode, those lunatics in the equipment department have installed an alchemical array inside. If you force it open or enter the wrong password three times, it will destroy the contents of the box in an instant."

After saying this, Caesar looked at Lin Zhiying and urged him to do it.

Lin Zhiying had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the briefcase to enter the password.

In front of you are keys for tens of digits from 0 to 9, and the password is four digits.

Using the method of exhaustive search, there are 10000 possibilities, but it is impossible for him to try them one by one.

He was somewhat annoyed that he hadn't asked in his previous life what the specific password for "playing Lucky Star" was.

However, this is only hindsight; how could he have imagined that he would be reborn back then?

Nervousness caused a fine sheen of sweat to appear on the fingers that touched the buttons.

Lin Zhiying withdrew her hand and wiped it on her clothes. She only had three chances; if she accidentally touched something, it would be all over.

Wait a minute, Lin Zhiying suddenly thought of something.

If you only have three chances, how did you unlock the lock in your previous life when you "had to play Lucky Star"?

If he can enter the correct password, there's only one possibility: Xuanyu Company didn't make the password too difficult.

Even information that everyone can access.

What could it be? Lin Zhiying felt that her brain hadn't been working this fast, even when she was doing math problems in the college entrance exam.

I've got it! Birthday!

It's the birthday of someone important to Chu Tianjiao.

The four-digit password perfectly matched the month and day of her birth, and in an instant, Lin Zhiying felt like she had grasped the future.

The most important people in Chu Tianjiao's eyes are undoubtedly Su Xiaoyan and Chu Zihang.

If I have to choose between the two, I'll go with Chu Zihang's first.

But here's the problem: Lin Zhiying also didn't know Chu Zihang's birthday.

Fortunately, the panel comes with a browser.

"What is Chu Zihang's birthday?"

"November 1th."

Looking at the answer provided by the browser, Lin Zhiying decided to give it a try first, since there would be other opportunities later.

His finger gently typed "0601".

The suitcase remained sealed and motionless.

Caesar didn't react much, but nodded to signal him to continue.

"It's okay, it's okay, there are still two more chances," Lin Zhiying comforted herself.

If Chu Zihang is ruled out, then only Su Xiaoyan's birthday remains as a possibility.

"What is Su Xiaoyan's birthday?"

"We have retrieved the following information for you: the birthday of celebrity Su Xiaoyan is..."

She's not a celebrity, she's Chu Zihang's mother.

Lin Zhiying added a qualifier.

The browser window is blank.

Didn't the original work mention her birthday?!

Lin Zhiying suddenly felt a headache coming on.

In the original novel, Chu Zihang said that Su Xiaoyan seemed to be forever young and would never grow up, and that such a person would not want to celebrate her birthday.

What to do? Lin Zhiying's gaze swept over the photos posted on the worktable.

The date of the unauthorized photograph was marked in red pen on the corners.

Next to it were notes like, "This is the first year since you left me, you look great." "This is the second year, please don't look so haggard." "The third year, you've gained weight." "The..."

Is this the most affectionate person in City A?

Lin Zhiying could picture the man with a cigar in his mouth, fixing one photograph after another onto the wooden board.

However, that's not what he cares about right now. He's looking for Su Xiaoyan's birthday, because Chu Tianjiao couldn't possibly forget it.

"What are you looking for?"

Caesar noticed Lin Zhiying's unusual behavior and asked a question.

"Birthday, the password is birthday. Although I don't want to admit it, my father really loved that woman, but I didn't know her birthday."

Lin Zhiying maintains her established persona.

Caesar shrugged, indicating his understanding; as an illegitimate child, he certainly had reasons to dislike his father's first wife.

His gaze swept across the photos, and next to two folded photos pieced together, he found Su Xiaoyan's birthday.

"My boss is going to a city event today, so I can't be with you for your birthday."

Half of the photo is a group photo of a group of people, with Chu Tianjiao, the driver, standing awkwardly in the crowd, the photo folding him out alone.

The other half contains Su Xiaoyan and the young Chu Zihang; he pieced the three together in this way.

The date next to it is clearly written: "October 12th".

Whew, Lin Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he shouldn't be wrong again.

He confidently entered the password and tried to pull the suitcase by hand, but it wouldn't budge.

The password is still incorrect.

That shouldn't be happening!

We've already tried both Chu Zihang's birthday and Su Xiaoyan's birthday, how could neither be right!

Caesar's expression changed. He walked up to the box and separated himself from Lin Zhiying.

"It seems you have betrayed my trust. I cannot verify your identity, but please leave now."

He has one more chance; he must take it back to his family to decipher.

As for Lin Zhiying, whether to kill him or not is entirely up to him. Considering that he might really be related to Chu Zihang, he plans to let him go.

None of these are correct, so what could the password be?

One point is well known to players.

Well-known to players.

Lin Zhiying repeated this sentence in his mind, and he finally understood what the password was.

"Please give me one last chance. I promise I will succeed. If I fail, I'll do whatever you want with me."

Lin Zhiying spoke, his tone filled with confidence.

Caesar hesitated as he looked at him, surprised by the confidence Lin Zhiying displayed, but the box would self-destruct if he failed.

"Even if you return to your family, the chances of deciphering it are slim. So why not trust me one more time? At least I know Chu Tianjiao well enough."

Lin Zhiying shared the pros and cons with Caesar.

The probability of deciphering it using other methods is also not high.

The air fell silent again, but this time it was Caesar who remained silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Alright, I'm willing to let you try. Anyway, when we get home, this thing will just belong to those old guys, so I'll just pretend it doesn't exist."

After saying that, he stepped aside.

"Thank you, I'm sure I'll succeed this time."

Lin Zhiying nodded to Caesar, walked to the briefcase, and quickly entered the four-digit password without hesitation.

"Click".

The snaps inside the suitcase loosened, and the suitcase opened.
