She Outshines 320
Chapter 320
The day after Advent Day
7:30 P.M.
The weather was rather cold.
Athena and Matthew parked their cars under some trees. They put on their ck robes and masks
and walked toward the gatedmunity, which was about 500 yards away.
These vis were very huge. The buildings wereplete but had yet to be handed over to their
owners, so themunity was empty.
At a nce, only the scattered streetlights were on. No buildings were lit.
The entrance to the gatedmunity was also lit, but there were no security guards on duty. Only a
tall electric iron gate barred the entrance.
At this moment, a group of people, dressed mysteriously and wearing masks, were hovering around
the gate, looking for various ways to sneak in.
Athena understood that this was the mysterious organization’s first test.
People who couldn’t even enter the gatedmunity didn’t have the right to call themselves highly
intelligent.
Athena and Matthew’s arrival did not draw anyone’s attention. Everyone was busy trying to figure
out their way through. Some people scaled the wall and entered, while others piled stones together
and climbed over the wall and gate. Some tried to break into the digital lock, while others waited for
someone to do so.
Athena was shocked to see someone take out a homemade bomb to blow up the gate. His
companions were also startled and quickly stopped him.
Athena was calm after what had just transpired.
Geniuses were also lunatics to a certain extent. It was normal for their thoughts and actions to be
different from ordinary people.
She asked Matthew, “How do we get in?”
There were so many ways to enter, but they needed to make a choice.
Matthew said, “How about breaking into the digital lock and going through the gate?”
Athena narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Alright, do you want to break it or should I?”
Matthew said very gentlemanly, “The beautifuldy mustn’t lift a finger. I’ll do it.”
He walked to the digital lock. After carefully observing it, he took out his phone and a data cable. He
inserted one end of the data cable into his phone and the other into the digital lock. Then, he quickly
typed away on his phone.
Two minutester.
He found thebination, the lock clicked, and the gate opened.
Athena and Matthew walked through the gate as well as several other mysterious people.
Others did not follow because they were too proud or stubborn and insisted on figuring out their way
to enter using their

The lock on the gate only stayed unlocked for a few seconds before it locked again.

The gatedmunity was enormous and had an expansive garden. All they could see were many
trees and countless flowers. There was no light or sound besides the dim streetmps that
illuminated at regr intervals. Everyone wondered which vi the party would be held in.
The instructions on the invitation were very clear. The vi’s door would only open between 19:50
and 20:00.
The night breeze blew, and Matthew focused his gaze on the right. “Over there. I can smell the
wine.”
After a short walk to the right, they saw a vi surrounded by many people. Everyone was dressed
in bizarre clothes that were almostparable to costumes for a masquerade ball.
At this moment, it was time for the party to begin. The carved iron door slowly opened, and the
lights in the front yard lit
up.
A man wearing a mask and dressed as a butler stood in front of a ckboard and looked at
everyone politely. “Distinguished guests, the messenger is already waiting for you.
“However, everyone needs to undergo a quick assessment before entering.
“Everyone, please take a look. This ckboard is filled with all kinds of interesting questions. You
can choose the category you excel at. Pick out a question and tell me your answers on the spot.
“Each person will have 10 minutes toplete the assessment. If you answer the question
incorrectly or fail to solve it, you may put the question back in its original ce and make another
choice.
Athena saw that almost everyone was excited and realized that true geniuses were never afraid to
take an assessment. Especially one that required you to pick your own question.
Athena looked at the ckboard.
The ckboard was filled with cards, the fronts of which werebeled with the category. The
different categories were mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, history, military
service, politics and economics, literature, and art.
She was not in a hurry and watched the others solve the questions with interest.
These questions were all expert-level and definitely not something that could be figured out through
general knowledge or an inte search.
For example, one question asked, “How many feet would a person fall from the 18th-floor balcony
to the ground?” Another question was, “If tonight’s sky were clear, where would the Axel
constetion appear?”
Athena paused for a moment and found out there was no signal in this area. The organizers
jammed the signal to ensure no one could text, call, or cheat.
She noticed three people picking a particr card and putting it back in its original ce, so she
picked it up curiously.
The card said, “Draw this same picture. Not even the tiniest detail should be wrong.”
The back of the card had a sketch of a beautiful face.
Athena picked up a pencil and drawing paper on the table and focused on her sketch.
Three minutester, she handed the sketch to the butler.

The butler asked his assistant to make a carefulparison and nodded. “This is correct. You can
go in now.”
Athena looked at Matthew.
Matthew chose a card that said, “Listen to the musical melody and draw the corresponding stave.”
He put on the headphones provided by the butler and listened to the melody while drawing the
stave on white paper.
When the music ended, Matthew finished drawing his stave.
Athena’s mouth was slightly agape. ‘Matthew actually knows how to do this?’
The butler’s answer to Matthew was, “There’s no mistake. You’re wee to enter.”
Athena and Matthew stepped into the vi’s hall together. As soon as they entered, they saw Zoe.
Zoe was dressed like a Baharian beauty. She was wearing a veil that covered her hair and face,
revealing only her was talking to a few people.
Of course, Athena did not greet her and decided to look around instead.

The vi’s interior area was estimated to be more than 300 square yards. The living room alone was
more than 100 square yards.
The lighting was rather dim. Perhaps this served to emphasize the mysterious atmosphere and
conceal everyone’s identity. There was arge round table in the middle of the living room. It could
easily seat dozens of people.
There was a huge candlestick in the middle of the round table. The dozens of lit candles on it were

Athena looked at the food and drinks. They all looked expensive, which meant the organizer was
indeed rich.
Most of the intellectuals present were engaged in activities in solitary because they were used to
not being understood and disrespected by regr people. At this moment, most participants either
sat alone or only hung out with theirpanions. Everyone barely looked at each other.
Athena noticed that most people weren’t discussing things ordinary people would discuss.
Someone asked about what breed Schr?dinger’s cat was, while another exined how he could
use quantum entanglement to investigate the interior of the ck hole.

Athena and Matthew sat at the dark bar, slowly sipping their wine while observing the geniuses in
the room.
They considered their surroundings, realizing that bizarre parties like this weren’t surprising. They
were used to it.
Such a gathering wasn’t surprising, but what they were really interested in was the organizers
themselves.

The organizer was wearing a ck robe, revealing only his eyes as he slowly walked down the
stairs.
