She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 380

of After Athena received Joy's report and the department's, she thought about it all night and sent the department a photos of prehistoric stone carvings. "I'll give her a week. Let her come back with the meanings of the patterns on the sto carvings. "As long as she can explain the symbolic meanings of these patterns, I will accept her as my student."

She then put Joy's matter aside and revised Zayn's script, "The Last Blood," for the last time.

"The Last Blood" was the name Zayn had given to the script. It meant to shed the last drop of blood for the country. She f the name was good and did not change it.

The script told the story of a scientist from Osceiton who mastered the core technology of aircraft carriers. He was kidnapped by spies and foreign agents who took him to a chaotic, complex, and dangerous region where the borders of three countries intersected. They planned to smuggle him into an enemy state.

The nation, unable to act officially, secretly assigned the recently retired protagonist, Lawrence, and a team of others to rescue the scientist.

Throughout the mission, Lawrence and the team faced numerous deadly challenges and ultimately brought the scientist and the critical secrets back home.

The film was a commercial blockbuster that delivered intense excitement and fulfillment to the audience, but its core message and spirit were not superficial. Athena sent the script to Zayn. "I've revised t. Take a look and see if you're satisfied. If not, I'll revise again."

Ten minutes later, she received a call from Zayn.

Zayn, who had always been calm, was extraordinarily excited. "Athena, you did an excellent job!

"I've only read the first three pages and I can't help but praise it! Although I haven't read many scripts, I believe this is the best I've come across." After that, he added, "I don't have any changes to make now, I don't think I'll have in the attende

any later."

Athena smiled faintly. "Zayn, no matter how good my writing is, it can only shine if the core and the story are solid. If the core story doesn't work, even the best writing can't hide the emptiness and dullness of the plot." Said

Zayn let out a rare hearty laugh. "Well said! As revised script."

you. Don't worry. I definitely won't let you down with your

He said confidently, "I will definitely make this movie great, to show everyone who had fought in that battle... to show everyone the courage and spirit of our soldiers."

Athena wanted to ask him if he was planning to do this project himself and if he needed her to help find investors. But in the end, she did not ask. She just told him, "Yes, I believe this movie will be a huge success"

'I must believe in my brothers. Even without me, they can get the job done,' she thought.

A week had passed by the time she was done with the script, and she received the assignment from Joy to Franco. Joy's assignment was written quite simply which roughly meant "These patterns should be a code, consisting of two parts. One points to the location of a prehistoric treasure, and the other celestial coordinates, or rather, cosmic coordinates. "Some of the patterns are worn out or unclear, which makes the information incomplete.

"Additionally, these codes are likely just a part of the complete information. In other words, we need to find other patterns (codes), piece them together, and fully decode them to uncover the full information."

In conclusion, she expressed, "I can only analyze the meaning of these patterns (codes) based on the knowledge I currently have. I can't decipher the exact symbolism or meaning of each, which is why I hope to study with you, Professor Xai. r

"It's really scary." Athena looked at her assignment and muttered, "She can actually see so many things.

"Does she really only know the rough meaning of these patterns, as she's said?"

After pondering for a while, she replied to Joy via email. "Are you so interested in prehistoric civilization because you want to obtain the so-called prehistoric treasure?"

Joy replied, "I'm not short of money. I don't pursue fame and status. I just especially like to solve such prehistoric puzzles. It's full of challenges and a sense of accomplishment."

Athena replied, "I find your answer very interesting. I've already informed the department that I've decided to accept you." Joy replied with several smiley faces. "I'm very happy and deeply honored. May I ask when I can see you with my own eyes? Or participate in prehistoric archaeology with you again?"

Athena replied, "Please wait for the notification." After that, she no longer replied to Joy.

At the campus, when the news of Franco's decision to take in Joy spread, the entire Department of History was in an uproar.

"Professor Xander personally said that he wouldn't accept apprentices or take in any students. At most, he would take a few exceptionally outstanding students on archaeological trips or give them individual lessons. I didn't expect him to make an exception this time." "I can only say Joy is truly too outstanding. She's so outstanding that Professor Xander can't turn her down."

"Joy is beautiful, talented, and worships Professor Xander so much. Do you think there will be some... romantic chemistry

between them?"

"You're overthinking. Professor Xander is an archaeology fanatic. I believe he'll possibly fall in love with prehistoric women's fossils, but definitely not moved by women in the real world."

In any case, Joy became the only graduate student under Franco

Franco did not give Joy special treatment. He never took the initiative to contact her. However, if Joy had any questions, she could send an email directly to "him". "He" would usually reply.

Athena could tell that Joy was very anxious. She was anxious to get to know Franco and the prehistoric civilization. She thought that it was time for her to figure out Joy's true intentions step by step.

In late September, she told Joy, "My people have discovered the ruins of a prehistoric civilization deep in the snowy regions. After the National Day holiday, I will lead a team to the mountainous area with snow for archaeology, with an uncertain return date. You should come along.

"Before that, please make sure to be prepared."

Joy swiftly replied, "Yes."

To prevent Joy from suspecting anything, Athena told her family a week in advance, "I'm planning to go to the National Aerospace and Aviation Base to study. I'll likely be there for two to three months. Since much of the work there is confidential, I might have to cut off contact with the outside word once I get there. If you can't reach me, please don't worry."

Everyone exchanged glances, and after a while, one of them said "It sounds like it's something quite impressive."

Athena smiled and replied. "It's quite impressive."

Claire said, "Go ahead. Tonight I'll prepare the ingredients for you to bring over."

As usual, Athena would definitely treat Matthew to a meal whenever she went on a long trip.

Although it was already almost eight in the evening, Matthew said after receiving her message, "I'm going to Kitmore City now. I hope it won't affect Miss Donovan's rest at night." Athena smiled. "No, it won't. I'll wait for you."

Matthew quickly turned off the computer, picked up his coat, and strode out.

On the way to Kitmore City, he asked Louis, "How's Sean Gordon's recruitment?"
