The dog gently licked the tears on my face, and I hugged it tightly and cried. Since God gave me a chance to start over, I must not give up easily!

That night, I got a new computer and a new phone, and took my dog to a random hotel using darts. We immediately went out and replaced all the equipment. I decided to start over and see how you can plagiarize this time!

It was late at night when I arrived at the hotel. I fell asleep with my dog in my arms. However, even in my dreams, I could not rest. I dreamed of the competition in my previous life. My father had a heart attack. I cried in the ambulance and begged him not to leave. Then my father passed away and I was cursed by the world.

I woke up from the dream, with tears on my face and only my dog by my side. I tried to fall asleep again, but I tossed and turned until dawn.

After daybreak, I pulled myself together and started to concentrate on writing code. I was busy in the morning, and in the afternoon I watched TikTok and played with my dog, trying to see if Max Smith would be different tonight.

At night, Max Smith did not live broadcast, but posted a video. In the video, he was thinking hard about writing a program, and a group of people were cheering him on. I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was only one day left before submitting the program to the competition. If I want to complete the program, I have to stay up all night.

Even so, I still feel fortunate because I finally got rid of Max Smith 's surveillance and had a chance to prove myself. I didn't eat all day until 8 o'clock in the evening, when I finally finished the code. I stretched my body, and the dog was always beside me.

I ordered a bowl of river snail noodles and curiously opened my phone to see what Max Smith would live stream if he couldn’t copy me.

9 o'clock in the evening , Max Smith started the live broadcast on time: "Tomorrow is the deadline for the competition. I didn't sleep last night, stayed up all night, and didn't eat all day today. Finally, I finished writing the code. Look, this is the takeaway I just ordered..."

Hearing this, my scalp began to numb. He sipped a mouthful of snail noodles, "The snail noodles here are really delicious. Look, this is my follow-up code..." After that, he showed his own code, which was exactly the same as what I wrote in the afternoon! My heart seemed to be tightly squeezed, and it hurt to the point of suffocation.

Tears blurred my vision. Even if I was reborn, could I not escape this fate?

" Brother, I know you have been secretly following my live broadcast, but you must not copy me. You see so many netizens are witnesses. They accompanied me to complete the whole system..." My ears began to ring, and I could no longer hear what he said later. I saw the live broadcast room full of barrages, all guessing who Max Smith 's stepbrother was. People who are familiar with us directly exposed my name, contact information and home address in the live broadcast room.

"Max Smith, don't worry. If he dares to copy you in the competition tomorrow, I will definitely send him a wreath according to his address."

"Bah! What a bullshit high IQ, rich and handsome guy, he is clearly a plagiarist. If he dares to copy you this time, I will kill him!"
