I just bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution!

So you wanna get it? Just solve my puzzle!

There are some Chinese words here:

回嵋門故賠

Some of them are misleading so you gotta remove them.

Which of them is relevant to solve this puzzle?

èr zì zhī jiān yǒu liǎng gè zì
klg yymr mlbo owjr jnd l mnr bq hapi jnd wyi --|- -|||- anvit ysoy imno inin...... X(123) Y(12)

For upper cases & lower cases... X of them are lower case & X+Y of them are higher case, in which

(X^2)Y - X^2 - 4XY + 4X + 4Y - 4 = 0

giveaway ends in 25-12-2011 12:00am GMT+8

EDIT: GOOGLE TRANSLATOR DOES NOT HELP WITH THIS PUZZLE, STOP USING IT

Furthermore your math notation is unclear. Do you mean:
(x^2)y - x^2 - 4xy + 4x + 4y - 4 = 0
or
(x
y)^2 - x^2 - 4xy + 4x + 4y - 4 = 0
with PEMDAS order of operations
in either case there are multiple solutions for (x,y) !

Do you have to be able to read chinese or at least have a good translation of the pinyin/characters to do this puzzle? I can read the pinyin but I don't know what it refers to. I also don't get what the -|-- stuff is.

You don't have to do brute force necessarily. There's plenty of conversion sites that will do that for you. Although there's some involved for the capitals/lower case, I'll admit.

do you mean x(1,2,3) y(1,2)?

edit: Nevermind this is pointless if you don't tell us which two input methods we use, you get different letters for every different input you try, I've already tried the inputs you used in previous puzzles and the most popular ones and tried every upper case/lower case combination for each of them and nothing.

yeah, we're not given enough clues, people who used the right input from last puzzles were just lucky, there were no hints either ~ now there's two chinese inputs, even more trial and error

Well... this is the solution. Sorry that it involves lucky guessing :/

For this: èr zì zhī jiān yǒu liǎng gè zì... You use Pinyin, and you'll get: 二字之間有兩個字. It means there are 2 words between the 2 words.

For this: klg yymr mlbo owjr jnd l mnr bq hapi jnd wyi --|- -|||- anvit ysoy imno inin...... X(123) Y(12)... You use Changjie, and you'll get: 在這兩個字中可用的字母 --|- -|||- 關於次序... X(123) Y(12). It means for the code of these 2 words, the letters you should use are 12N3 4NNN5. For the permutation: X(123) Y(45) (Note: This is Changjie code)

For this: (X^2)Y - X^2 - 4XY + 4X + 4Y - 4 = 0... X=2 & Y=1, so there's 2 lower case letters & 3 upper case letters, & for the permutation: 45123.

After those, the only thing you're missing is which words & which are upper case letters, which is basically lucky guessing. For which words, they are 嵋 & 賠. According to hints given, you'll get the following: bruau. For which 3 are upper case letters, also lucky guessing, they are UAU.

For this lucky guessing part... I think by using all the hints, there are 5P3 = 60 possible solutions.

So the code is brUAU

Wtf?

Comment has been collapsed.

so why must it be 45123 and not 12345?
Also, 二字之間有兩個字,在這兩個字中可用的字母, means you're talking about either 嵋門 or 門故, cause the principal words are the "有兩個字". That's basic Chinese grammar, how did you end up with 嵋 and 賠. If you wanted to talk about those two end words you should've said 二字兩旁有兩個字, 在這兩個字中可用的字母...
Sigh I knew the giveaway was just wrong =.=

How am I supposed to derive 45123? There's nothing that points that way from the puzzle.
Also, your hint was misleading, because it points to the two words being shan1 and mei2 instead of 嵋 & 賠. What's the point of leading us to shan1 and mei2 if you're not going to use them?
I spent too much time on this fucking puzzle and your solution doesn't even make sense.
