Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 339 - Chapter 339 Chapter 264 The Boss is Confused

Chapter 339: Chapter 264: The Boss is Confused Chapter 339: Chapter 264: The Boss is Confused On Tuesday afternoon, thanks to the efforts of Wei Bo and others, a hack that allowed for unlimited use of “Sheep” game props began to circulate on a small scale online.

In the game “Sheep,” there are a total of three “props” you can get by sharing the game with friends.

However, the props can only be used a limited number of times. Once you’ve used up the props, and the grid is full, you’ve basically been sent packing from that round.

The hack that Cheng Zhu had Wei Bo develop allowed for the three types of props to be used infinitely.

With this, clearing the levels became an inevitable outcome.

Actually, in Cheng Zhu’s previous life, several different hacks for “Sheep” had been released, including one idiotic hack that turned the second level into the same as the first.

The gaming experience with that hack was practically nonexistent.

Although the unlimited props hack wasn’t much better, at least it still required some game play, and there was a bit of gaming experience.

The folks at the gaming studio, like Wei Bo, treated “Sheep” practically like their own child.

Now, having them release the hack despite the pain it caused them–believing it would impact the game’s long-term development–was tough.

But as workers in the studio, even team leader Wei Bo had little say, so they had to follow orders.

Still, as they leaked the hack, they did so… very discreetly.

They tried to minimize the spread of the hack as much as possible.

“It feels terrible, like killing your own child in its cradle!”

—- Boss is clueless!

Zhou Kang, male, a regular student from class two of the Computer Science major at Technology University.

Previously, when his classmates went on an autumn outing, he was the most obsessed with playing “Sheep.”

Initially, he was after the prize money that Cheng Zhu had set.

As he played on, he forgot about that and just damn wanted to clear the game!

Pesky game, you just won’t let me pass, huh? Daddy will see if I can’t clear you now!

That night, the students from the computer science class had their activities through the night.

Some were drinking, others playing cards.

Class monitor Liu Feng was confessing his love to the Youth League Secretary Chen Tingting and sneaking in kisses after successfully winning her heart.

As for Cheng Zhu, he was frantically collecting debts in his room.

But what about Zhou Kang?

He played “Sheep” all night long, until 4 a.m.!

Keep in mind, even Cheng Zhu and the counselor had already embraced in slumber by that time.

But Zhou Kang just had a stubborn streak.

The game seemed to have some magical power over him; he just couldn’t stand not clearing it even once.

Later, the “Sheep” campus game competition arrived.

As the boss of the gaming studio, Cheng Zhu directly went to the faculty dorm building to continue his debt collections.

And Zhou Kang?

Again, he played in his dorm until 4 a.m.!

Cheng Zhu had already tried high-collar sweaters and the aprons in the kitchen.

Zhou Kang, on the other hand, was still contending with a sheep.

Once you clear a level, you win a randomly dressed sheep to “join the flock.”

Once Zhou Kang fell asleep, he continued to damn well play in his dreams, dreaming of joining the flock.

Have you ever fought for your life over a sheep in your lifetime?

And this Zhou Kang, he lived right next to Cheng Zhu’s dorm, in room 310.

Cheng Zhu once went over to visit and saw him grabbing his hair with his left hand, holding his phone in his right, one foot on the ground, the other on a stool, with an extremely twisted expression.

He wasn’t afraid Zhou Kang had gone mad; instead, he felt it was a pity: “Such good material, if only it could be shared online.”

Eventually, the 48-hour campus gaming competition quickly passed, and Zhou Kang still hadn’t cleared the game, but he learned that three people in the school actually had!

In the group chat for computer science class two, many classmates teased each other, feeling that our class seemed a bit useless.

Despite having played it during the autumn outing and supposedly being the batch of people most familiar with the game amongst the students, none were destined for the prize money.

And to make matters worse, a few of Zhou Kang’s friends singled him out for ridicule in the class group chat.

What’s the use of playing night and day?

You still can’t get past, can you?

They had told Zhou Kang at least ten times: “Stop playing, you really can’t get through it.”

But the kid just wouldn’t listen!

The funniest part was, after being hit by reality and friends’ ridicule, Zhou Kang didn’t come to his senses. Instead, he felt that clearing the game was now linked to his dignity.

Playing “Sheep” slowly became a small daily habit of his life.

Even when doing a five-streak at the internet cafe, he’d play a few rounds on his phone during game loading screens. You could say he was a master of time management.

What a pity, whether or not the game could be cleared was really up to fate.

This thing had an algorithm designed to keep the success rate of clearing levels extremely low.

Zhou Kang was unlucky, he couldn’t hit these low-probability events.

Yet tonight, he chanced upon information online that there were hacks for this game!

Stubborn as he was, because he couldn’t get past, he would search for guides and tutorials online, and even watch game streamers play “Sheep.”

Thus, he was often one of the first to catch wind of any news related to this game.

After some effort and several hurdles, he finally got his hands on the hack.

“Infinite props, hahaha, infinite props!”

“Pesky game, die for Daddy!”

He even set a personal usage limit for himself: “With my skills, use props at most three times, guaranteed clear!”

After using props three times, he realized a problem.

“Fuck, it looked like only three or four layers left, but underneath there’s a damn skyscraper!”

“Sick game, you wretched thing!”

Moreover, as he got to the last few layers, it became harder to eliminate, the stuff you needed might be way down below.

Zhou Kang used the props several more times.

Finally, victory was within reach!

As he was clearing the last few blocks, his index finger suddenly paused.

Tonight, it seemed like everyone in dorm room 310 was there.

The dorm head was playing “Temple Run,” the guy who slept next to Zhou Kang was playing “Plants vs. Zombies,” and the brother opposite his bed was reading a novel, using Zhou Kang’s QiDian account to freeload books he had subscribed to.

“Great opportunity.” Zhou Kang immediately turned off silent mode on his phone.

He then silently cranked up the volume.

The familiar, devilishly catchy background music of “Sheep” began to echo in dorm room 310.

All three roommates looked up in unison towards Zhou Kang lying on his bed.

“Kang’er, you really never tire of it, huh?”

“You got a problem, still not giving up?”

“If you devoted this energy to studying, I’d feel unworthy to attend the same school as you.”

Zhou Kang looked down at them from his bed and chuckled before saying defiantly, “This time I must pass!”

“Idiot.” The dorm head didn’t spare his dignity, but his assessment was quite accurate.

“Didn’t you say the same thing last week?” another roommate laughed.

“Why don’t we go to room 309 and ask Cheng Zhu if he believes you can clear it?”

“Brother Zhu isn’t even in the dorm, he’s not in our world anymore, the life he’s living, you know!” A male student winked suggestively.

Although none of the boys in computer science class two had heard a word from Cheng Zhu about his private life, they unanimously believed he must be living a divine one.

Tall, handsome, and rich–could he damn well live like a eunuch?

Zhou Kang, hearing them suggest asking Cheng Zhu if he could clear the game, felt they were really vile with their words.

As expected, this game was now a matter of Daddy’s dignity!

Good thing, I’m about to clear this level.

Humph, keep on ridiculing!

Zhou Kang eyed the few remaining blocks on his phone, just a few finger movements and he would have cleared the level.

He sat up in bed and said to the three roommates below, “Damn it! You bunch of haters, just laugh, but what if I clear it this time?”

“If you clear it, you’re my daddy!” Liu Gang, the dorm head of room 310, blurted out without even thinking.

“You said it!” Zhou Kang began to tap at the remaining few blocks.

After a few maneuvers, he cleared the infamously difficult second level of “Sheep” with the aid of the hack.

Interestingly, does someone who uses hacks really feel guilty?

No, in fact, a large portion of those who use hacks are damn audacious!

Zhou Kang successfully “joined the flock,” and after clearing the game, he won a “Sled Sheep.”

He shared his clearance information directly to the dorm group chat, and then, not feeling enough satisfaction, he even posted it in the class group-chat.

“I’ve cleared it!” he announced loudly in the dorm, “Call me Daddy!”

“Haters speak up!!!”

A commotion erupted inside dorm room 310.

Initially disbelieving, the roommates snatched Zhou Kang’s phone, and each of them was dumbstruck.

What followed was a scuffle in the dorm triggered by the “Call me Daddy” bet.

After Zhou Kang’s clearance, the group chat of computer science class two also instantly livened up.

Coincidentally, with the hack’s limited distribution, many who couldn’t clear the game were now successfully joining the flock.

Some sincere individuals shared the hack with close friends.

But others, not so much.

They, like Zhou Kang, first thought–Daddy’s gonna show off!

No one knows I cheated.

Damn it, show off first, then talk!

You can’t get past it, huh? Hehe, I did!

And so someone shamelessly captioned their social media post in the circle of friends with: Just like that!

Not many people who cheat are not brazen after all.

Maybe throw them in a furnace, and everything burns to ash except one mouth that still brazenly says from a pile of ashes: “I didn’t cheat!”

Especially since it’s just a few extra uses of props.

As everyone knows–a little cheating doesn’t count as cheating!

Because the game is infamously difficult, many who clear it really can’t help but post on social media.

This is equivalent to many, many people advertising the game today.

As a result, with the widespread publicity, the game’s hotness and online discussion spiked again!

Believe it or not, seeing people around them clearing the game, some really started playing again.

Some students from computer science class two, seeing Zhou Kang clear it, also tried a few rounds themselves.

Particularly those teased to their face, they just couldn’t hold back.

Like inside dorm room 310, the dorm head Liu Gang, finding it really hard to call out “Daddy”, ended up publicly playing “Sheep” three times in front of the boys. If he couldn’t clear it, then he’d have to call out.

Liu Gang’s hands were sweating while playing the game.

—- Sweating bullets, bro!

With situations like these amplifying, “Sheep” saw a resurgence in its daily heat and the entire network’s discussion.

Thanks to the alliance leader “Gong Tong Fu Yu” for the reward!)
