Since high school, I had been passionate about programming, teaching myself multiple programming languages.
When I went to college, I resolutely chose a computer science major and developed a strong love for hacking techniques.
I had prepared extensively for this hacker competition, and I certainly wasn't willing to give up so easily.
After the plagiarism incident in my past life, I was immediately kicked out of the Smith household. I had repeatedly checked my computer under the bridge where I had been living, and there was nothing wrong with it. So, I suspected that Sophie must have installed surveillance in my room.
Now that I was in a strange hotel, I didn't believe Sophie could steal my code again. I pulled out my laptop and began coding furiously.
With the experience from my previous life, I debugged at lightning speed and quickly completed the first step.
Looking at the program's output on my screen filled me with a sense of accomplishment, and I stretched out lazily.
Just then, Mrs. Smith called me. "Emma, why did you leave without saying anything? I haven't even compensated you properly yet."
