Chapter 320 The day after Advent Day 7:30 P.M.
The weather was rather cold.
and Athena I Matthew parked their cars under strees. They put on their black robes and masks and walked toward the gated community, which was about 500 yards away. These villas were very huge. The buildings were complete but had yet to be handed over to their owners, so the community was empty.
At a glance, only the scattered streetlights were on. No buildings were lit. The entrance to the gated I community 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. Atena understood that t was the mysterious organization's first test. arrival People who couldn't even enter the gated community didn't have the right to call themselves highly intelligent. did not draw anyone's attention. Everyone was busy trying to figure out their way through. Speople scaled the wall and entered, while others piled stones together and climbed over the wall and gate.

was shocked to I 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 beautiful lady 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 minutes later.
He found the combination, the lock clicked, and the gate opened.

Others did not follow because they were too proud or stubborn and insisted on figuring out their way to enter using their 1/4 Sat, Chapter 320 intelligence.
3 The lock on the gate only stayed unlocked for a few seconds before it locked again.
93%1 The gated community 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 street lamps that illuminated at regular intervals. Everyone wondered which villa the party would be held in. The instructions on the invitation were very clear. The villa'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 villa surrounded by many people. Everyone was dressed in bizarre clothes that were almost comparable to costumes for a masquerade ball.
At this moment, it was tfor 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 blackboard 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 blackboard is filled with all kinds of interesting questions. You can choose the category you excel at. Pick out a question and tellyour answers on the spot.
"Each person will have 10 minutes to complete the assessment. If you answer the question incorrectly or fail to solve it, you may put the question back in its original place 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. Ather Athena looked at the blackboard.
The blackboard was filled with cards, the fronts of which were labeled 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 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 intesearch.
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 constellation 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 particular card and putting it back in its original place, so she picked it up curiously.
The card said, "Draw this spicture. 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 minutes later, she handed the sketch to the butler.
2/4 214 10:00 Sat, Nov 2 Chapter 320 The butler asked his assistant to make a careful comparison 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 t the music cended, 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 welcto enter." Athena and Matthew stepped into the villa'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 lighting was rather dim. Perhaps this served to emphasize the mysterious atmosphere and conceal everyone's identity. There was a large 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 the light source in the room.

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 regular people. At this moment, most participants either sat alone or only hung out with their companions. Everyone barely looked at each other. Athena noticed that most people weren't discussing things ordinary people would discuss. Someone asked about what breed Schrödinger's cat was, while another explained how he could use quantum entanglement to investigate the interior of the black hole. Athena paused to look around again 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. Finally, at 8:30 p.m., the bell rang The organizer was wearing a black robe, revealing only his eyes as he slowly walked down the stairs.
