Chapter57-Unlucky Matt! Bidding for a free ride?(2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)



Emilia looked at Matt and couldn't help but say, "Matt, have you lost your mind?"

"Aren't you afraid that there's nothing but junk in there?"

Wilson also mocked, "Matt, you're really a fool. Even if you're gambling that there are diamonds in there, you have to consider the probability. Are you willing to spend 15,000 StellarCoins on something that most likely won't happen? With that money, you could treat us to a night on the town."

Matt dismissed them, "Anyway, I made several hundred thousand this morning, I'm not afraid of losing this bit of money."

With one sentence, he shut everyone up.

Yeah, it was just 15,000 StellarCoins.

It couldn't shake Matt's foundation at all.

The Abel and Allen brothers scrutinized Matt, and then the container again.

Allen asked, "Bro, is this container worth raising the bid for?"

Abel stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, "Hard to say. Based on its background, there's a certain possibility that there could be diamonds inside."

Allen looked back and whispered, "How about, I go ask Dan?"

Unexpectedly, Abel shook his head, "We're good with Dan, and he'd definitely tell you if you asked."

"But don't forget, we're competitors now, you can't always be asking Dan, right?"

Allen nodded, "True."

Abel thought for a moment, then said, "Let's pass, it's too risky."

"Let them fight over it, there's still plenty of containers coming up."

Allen agreed with a nod.

On the other side, many of the treasure hunters were still undecided.

There could be diamonds in the container, but Matt's price of 15,000 was indeed a bit steep.

If it was a sure thing, they would all jump in, even for tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand StellarCoins.

But when it came to a gamble, the price was a bit too high for them.

With that thought, the other treasure hunters shook their heads, choosing to bow out.

Robert, who was hoping to drive up the price, was a bit disappointed.

He scanned the crowd of treasure hunters, finally looking at Daniel.

"Dan, you gonna join in?"

Everyone else also turned to Daniel.

It seemed like as long as Daniel made a bid, they would follow suit.

This irked Daniel a bit.

If everyone was going to follow his bids, how would he find bargains in the future?

Indeed, a good name is better than a good face, having appraisal skills too good could be a problem.

Daniel shook his head, saying casually, "I'm not that into diamonds, I'll wait and see."

His words didn't express any appraisal opinion on this container.

The treasure hunters all looked disappointed.

Hearing this, Robert nonchalantly shrugged, then turned to Matt with a smile.

"Congrats, Matt, this container is yours!"

As soon as the result was announced, Matt was overjoyed.

Before the workers could clear out the contents, he rushed into the container and started rummaging.

The other treasure hunters all crowded around.

They all wanted to see if this container, which had made them hesitate, would reveal treasures that would make them regret.

Matt rummaged through the container, turning everything upside down, not minding the dust flying everywhere.

15,000 StellarCoins, he'd be lying if he said he didn't care.

Whether he could break even, depended entirely on whether there were diamonds in these cabinets.

After opening all the display cabinets and finding nothing, Matt's face instantly turned gloomy.

Aside from these cabinets, there were some other random items in the container that he hadn't gone through.

Looking at these messy items, Matt suddenly had a bad feeling.

Even if there were diamonds, they shouldn't be hidden among these things.

The crowd squeezed at the container's entrance, only seeing Matt's back, with no idea of his current state of mind.

Emilia curiously asked, "Matt, how's it going?"

Matt didn't say a word.

His mood was terrible.

This pile of junk had everything, umbrellas, old clothes, even a deflated blow-up doll.

It was essentially a rubbish dump, with no sign of anything valuable.

15,000 StellarCoins, down the drain.

Thinking of this, Matt let out a string of expletives.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck me!"

With such a fit of rage, the surrounding treasure hunters instantly understood the situation.

Allen mocked, "Matt, no need to lose your cool like that."

"You made a few hundred thousand this morning, why care about this measly 15,000 StellarCoins."

The other treasure hunters, while delighting in Matt's misfortune, collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

They felt fortunate that they hadn't persisted with their bids.

Otherwise, they would be the ones in the container, cursing their luck.

Matt's anger didn't last long.

He walked out of the container without even getting an estimate from Durant.

Directly called someone to recycle this pile of junk.

Seeing there was no spectacle left, the other treasure hunters all followed Robert towards the next container up for auction.

A hundred meters away, the new auction container was brought over by a forklift and smoothly set down.

Without any preamble, Robert began his introduction.

"No more chatter, this next mystery box is a seafaring container from country X."

"Since the recipient has failed to pay the shipping fee, it's now up for public auction."

"Take a look first!"

Once he was finished, Matt moved aside.

The staff struggled to cut the lock and pull open the door.

The treasure hunters poked their heads in to take a look, only to complain.

The container was packed with cardboard boxes, tightly sealed, completely hiding the contents.

Among the new treasure hunters were triplet brothers.

The eldest and second eldest hoisted the youngest up to see if there was anything on top of the boxes.

After squinting for a while, the youngest said, "Bro, put me down, there's nothing up there but a roll of tarp."

Emilia sidled up to the Abel brothers, whispering, "Did you guys see it? That display case in there?"

Abel nodded slightly, "We saw it, it's filled with helmets."

Allen chimed in, "They look brand new."

Emilia speculated, "Could these boxes be filled with mountain bikes?"

Abel looked at the boxes, analyzing in his head.

These boxes were all rectangular and would easily fit a mountain bike.

But the key issue was that these boxes were all positioned upright.

Even if there were bikes inside, they could only be mountain bikes.

Abel kept his thoughts to himself, saying, "Based on the size, it's very possible."

Hearing this answer, Emilia was delighted.

Still, she turned to Daniel, "Dan, what do you think?"

Only when Daniel gave his appraisal would she fully trust.

Daniel glanced at the container, and the result appeared before his eyes.

[Item]: Container

[Age]: Modern

[Condition]: Well preserved

[Details]: A seafaring container from country X, contains high-tech electronic products.

[Appraisal]: Has a certain value.

[Market Price]: 100,000 StellarCoins.

[Buyback Price]: 80,000 StellarCoins.

With a market value of 100,000 StellarCoins, it was worth some money.

Daniel thought to himself.

If the other treasure hunters knew his thoughts, they would surely scoff.

100,000 StellarCoins, and it was only worth a bit?

Not everyone has a bank balance of over a billion!

Seeing Daniel quiet for a long time, Allen quietly asked, "Dan, what's up?"

Abel, catching onto what was happening, said to Emilia, "If you really want Dan's help, you should pay for his appraisal service. You can't just mooch off him all the time."

He refrained from saying it aloud, not wanting to sound too harsh.

No matter how much Emilia annoyed them, she was still a woman and deserved some respect.

Hearing this, Emilia took the hint and left, no longer bothering the two brothers.

While Daniel was checking the system data, he was aware of what was happening around him.

Seeing Abel driving Emilia away, he was genuinely grateful, "Abel, thank you."

As he made more and more lucky picks, these veteran treasure hunters seemed to have recognized his appraisal skills.

Either they followed his bids, or they asked for his opinion, which was getting on his nerves.

Abel casually waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

"We're competitors, so it's best to send those types packing."

"They want to leech off your appraisal skills for free, they must be dreaming."

Daniel chuckled, asking, "Are you planning on bidding on this container?"

Abel responded, "It depends. I guess it's filled with mountain bikes, plus those helmets and other miscellaneous items, at most it's worth around 50 to 60 thousand StellarCoins."

Abel's estimated price wasn't far off.

Allen grinned, "Dan, what do you think of our appraisal?"

Before he finished his sentence, Abel slapped him.

"Can't you analyze it yourself?"

Allen rubbed his head, looking wronged, "I was just asking."

Daniel chuckled, without beating around the bush, "Your estimated price is close, just slightly low."

"That's all I'll say. Whether you can snag it depends on your skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, Robert announced the start of the auction.

"Time's up, treasure hunters can start bidding now!"
