Here we provide a comprehensive response to the Comment written by Stefan Boettcher. We argue that the Comment did not account for the fairness of the comparison between different methods in searching for the spin-glass ground states. We demonstrate that, with a reasonably larger number of initial spin configurations, our results agree with the asymptotic scaling form assumed by finite-size corrections.
