You're not wrong for it being base64, but damn the decoded string is wacky. Even knowing Chinese, I don't know what 90% of the words mean.

Tip: You're going in the wrong direction, it's a hash of a certain URL. Thanks for trying it though.

Clearly, it's base64, which gives 0424974c68530290458c8d58674e2637f65abc127057957d7b3acbd24c208f93

which is sha 256 for the video on getting free lifetime robux, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Congrats on finding the secret code! As said in hack.js, first correct answer wins nothing, congratulations!

I like that hint though :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I would never in my lifetime click a URL that ends with a combination of letters XQC. Besides, I like how ironically "google translate" translated it to Don't let me go(in my Guess_0 above) which can be responded to as the lyrics suggest Never gonna say goodbye.
