Fortunately, it was not his phone that fell into the pit. He could still salvage the situation.
After sending a message to his roommate, Cloud Hao opened the Yinke platform and found Qian Yuan's homepage.
To his surprise, "The Fleeting Fireworks" had exploded in popularity. In three days, the Yinke account had gained a bit less than 30,000 followers. However, the remix had gone viral outside the circle and attracted the Bilibili audience, resulting in the number of followers shooting straight up to 300,000.
Cloud Hao never expected that his "good pal" would become an overnight sensation in this manner.
Initially, when he saw the idiot releasing his past works, he nearly gave up on any recovery because of Liang Ziyuan's baffling way of doing things.
He didn't expect that in the end, this guy would actually make his debut in the remix section with his irresistibly whacky voice. Furthermore, it was even more popular than his serious singing.
From yesterday till now, there were many new users amongst his newly-gained followers. They probably came over from Bilibili to hear the original voice after watching the remix video.
Moreover, once the play button was pressed, they could no longer come out of there…
Just like what the netizens said in the comments sections, those songs simply brainwashed you!
In comparison, although "The Fleeting Fireworks" was also a hit outside the circle, it did not draw much attention to his Yinke account.
"I miscalculated… Looks like my strategy was too conservative."
"Fortunately, the end result is good."
Cloud Hao, who was squatting over the toilet and looking at his phone, couldn't help but lament.
This world is so damn crazy!
Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out in the bathroom, followed by Brother Zhu's voice, "Cloud Hao, where are you?"
When he heard this assuring voice, Cloud Hao heaved a sigh of relief. He felt a weight being lifted off his shoulders.
The tissue paper delivery man is finally here.
His legs had gone numb from squatting…
…
"Comrade Little Cloud, why are you so careless to not bring tissue paper to the toilet? It's the same as going to the battlefield without a gun."
"Shut up, I did bring it."
"All the more this shouldn't happen then." Separated by a door, Brother Zhu continued nagging like a monk, "Why did you drop the paper into the toilet bowl? Luckily, I looked at the phone, or else you would have to squat till mealtime."
Cloud Hao was speechless.
What the f*ck!
Why is this guy so full of nonsense?
If it weren't for Zheng Xueqian taking classes too seriously and Liang Ziyuan's phone usually being on silent mode, Cloud Hao would not have gone to Zhu Kening, this tactless class leader and the student union's lackey. He was the only one who kept a watchful eye on the WeChat group chat every day, after all.
Finally resolving his emergency, Cloud Hao relaxed and walked out of the cubicle.
"The teacher didn't do a roll call, right?"
"No roll call. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
Do you still have to ask?
If he had already done the roll call, of course, they should head back to the dorm room.
In order to avoid too much disturbance in the classroom, the duo returned to the classroom one after another and sat back down.
Although Cloud Hao was staring at the blackboard attentively and trying to listen to what was being taught in class, his mind wandered off, and pretty much nothing sunk in.
He remained in this state until the bell rang, signaling the end of class. He hurriedly copied down the critical thinking questions on the blackboard on a piece of rough paper. After that, he carried his shoulder bag and left the classroom. He then found a place with nobody around and let his consciousness drift into the system space.

[Collect the mission reward.]
[Random Assignment of Attribute Points: Mathematics +1, Programming +1]
Just like the last time, the system did not give him the authority to add points. The assignment of attribute points was automatically completed the moment he opened the attributes panel.
Perhaps it was because he majored in software engineering that one attribute point knowingly flew to programming.
However, what surprised Cloud Hao was that the other attribute point was added to mathematics.
Mathematics?
Is it because I was just in a math lecture?
Seeing this new line of attributes, Cloud Hao had a strange expression on his face.
Why do I feel like this attribute points assignment…
Is completely unrelated to the life I imagine for myself?
Although many memories from his previous life were a blur, he vaguely remembered that he didn't really like the sciences for some reason.
Especially mathematics.
In this life, although he had forgotten the reason why he hated the sciences, he still didn't really like mathematics, physics, and chemistry much. He had chosen this path simply out of an adult's rationality.
After all, he didn't think he had any talent in humanities and arts. Had the system not added a buff for him, he might end up singing worse than Brother Ziyuan.
Even though he didn't have many feelings towards maths, physics, and chemistry, he could easily score 140 out of 150.
Otherwise, he would not have been accepted into a prestigious double first-class university like River Town University.
Even now, Cloud Hao still remembered how his high school math teacher thought that it was a great pity, saying that he was the most gifted student he had ever met. He regretted not sending Cloud Hao to the youth training class for the People's Alliance International Mathematics Competition.
However, Cloud Hao didn't think that there was anything to feel regretful about. After all, he had lived a very exhausting life in his past life. In his impression, there hadn't been much happiness. In this life, he simply wanted to lay a good foundation when he was still young so that he could be a sloth in the future and relax.
This was why he had been so surprised when he "picked up" the system previously.
In his opinion, this kind of convenient function of quickly determining who was more influential was tailor-made for him!
However, after using it for a while, he realized that this thing was not as easy as he had imagined…
"Forget it. Maybe the system has its own intentions."
Shaking his head, Cloud Hao decided to set these things, which he didn't understand, aside for the time being.
At the end of the semester, there was an advanced mathematics exam. He would be able to save some time in preparing for the exam, which was ultimately a good thing. Mathematics in university was not the same as in high school. To excel without lifting a finger like he did before would be slightly tricky.
He had heard that the freshman's academic transcript would be sent straight to his home. He didn't want to disappoint his parents by failing.
[Host: Cloud Hao]
[Programming: 2]
[Music: 2]
[Mathematics: 1]
After the attribute points were assigned, the attributes panel on the system interface was automatically refreshed. Right now, he had unlocked three attributes, which looked much more bountiful than the bare panel at the start.
The only thing that worried him a little was that he didn't know if there was an upper limit for the number of attributes.
If he could only have three or five attributes max, and the system was adding them randomly for him, he wouldn't even be able to do anything about it.
"Motivational gems… can be used for all mediums, and the effect will cause the target to receive a "motivated" emotion for a certain period."
What is this added motivation?
From its description, it probably means that it'll make someone feel uplifted all of a sudden?
It feels quite useless…
Cloud Hao thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't decide who to use it on. The three rascals in his dorm room didn't need him to help them be enthusiastic. In fact, he occasionally felt that they were a little too self-absorbed and needed a "calming gem" or something of the sort to clear their heads.
Anyway, there was no hurry with this. It would not be too late to use it after some pondering.
"The next thing is the memory fragments. I didn't expect there to be two this time."
"Hopefully, I can get something good."
He reached out his hand and took out the two memory fragments from the inventory. Cloud Hao then used a bit of strength to squeeze them in the palm of his hand. Very quickly, the off-white specks of light turned into a cluster of stardust, flowing from the center of his palm to the space between his brows.
[Memory Unlocked·Game: Jump]
[Memory Unlocked·Symphony: He's a Pirate]
Jump is still alright…
At least 2048 still needed the up, down, left, and right keys. Great, this game doesn't even need up, down, left, and right. Players just need to press and hold to amass power before releasing and jumping. That's all for the game rules. Even a retard can easily get the hang of it.
Looking at the flashing icon before his eyes, the expression on Cloud Hao's face was one of mild dismay.
Why do I draw mini-games only?
And they just have to be the kind that I don't have deep impressions of in my past life.
Can't you give me a 3A masterpiece?
However, thinking about it again, he felt that even if he obtained the memory of a 3A masterpiece, it was probably going to be useless.
After all, those games were built atop tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. They also needed an experienced development team to stay up day and night to turn his idea into reality. In the end, they still required huge volumes of marketing promotions.
As for the symphony…
This was good stuff.
The symphony "He's a Pirate" was the work of the famous composers, Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer. This BGM was also used in many movie clips.
Just from this, some people might still not understand. However, if the "Pirates of the Caribbean" was mentioned, most people would immediately know.
That free-spirited and passionate BGM was like the sound of steel hitting the waves. It was played every time Captain Jack began to do something.
Just as Cloud Hao was thinking about how to maximize the value of this song, a sentence in a light blue dialog box suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Mission Activated: Recruit three employees with a hidden potential stat value greater than 5 for Cloud Dream Corporation (Note: The verification of employment relationship will be determined by the "Karmic Tree Diagram System". False employment will not be included, such as making up numbers with any random person, talent irrelevant to the job, etc.)]
"…Recruit employees?"
And they must have a hidden potential stat greater than 5?
Looking at the mission, Cloud Hao was stunned.
To be honest, while reading the first half, he was indeed thinking whether he should just recruit three acquaintances to make up the numbers. He would then pay a severance fee after the mission had been completed.
However, the system seemed to be able to read his mind. It added the explanatory note at the back and closed that door on him.
Just great. Based on what the system said, not only do I have to hire employees with a hidden potential stat greater than 5, but I also have to find something for them to do?
Moreover, it has to be a job that fits their talents?
When he thought of this, Cloud Hao was dumbfounded.
F*ck!
Does this stupid system want me to start a company or set up a charity?!
