China Economic Weekly—Economic Network News In the past two days, a mini-program game called "The Sheep is a Sheep" has become popular.
It is reported that "The Sheep" is a cartoon background elimination game. Players need to click on the card above. The selected card will move down to the wooden frame at the bottom. Up to 7 cards can be stored in the box. When 3 same cards are placed in the box, elimination can be achieved.

In response to this, some netizens said: "I haven't played this game for a total of 24 hours, and it has collapsed 3 times." "So many people play it, and the advertising fee is quite high, so I can't do it well, so I can't expand it." "How many times do you have to collapse a day, and it's been repaired for so long."
Then, the official Weibo of "The Sheep" posted a message to urgently recruit back-end server development. The official said that "the reward for recommended joining is 5,000, and the reward for self-recommended joining is 5,000." Although

is just a small game, it is not easy to play. Many players went to the game after watching the hot searches, but were dismissed from the second level, and many people even called it "it's as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Some netizens said: "I seriously doubt whether you have not done the third level, so it is so difficult to do the second level." "After the repair, I will start a live broadcast to show us how you passed the second level." "Did you delete the first level", "I was persuaded to withdraw when I reached the second level", "I want to know if anyone has passed the second level".
