Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over

The bidding began.

Having received confirmation from Abel, Emilia was the first to call out a bid.

"1,000 StellarCoins!"

The price wasn't high.

It seemed Emilia didn't think the contents of the container were worth much.

But just now, Emilia was chatting and laughing with the veteran treasure hunters like Abel and was eyeing the container.

Was the 1,000 StellarCoins bid just a bluff?

Should we follow the bid?

One price immediately sparked the thoughts of all the treasure hunters.

The veteran treasure hunters didn't overthink it.

Everyone had their own judgement about the container.

Matt, who just lost over 10,000 StellarCoins, didn't hesitate to raise Emilia's bid several times over after hearing her bid.

"5000 StellarCoins!"

Emilia shot him a glare.

Was he born without a brain?

The new treasure hunters were watching us, the seasoned ones, for cues on how to bid.

By raising the price this high, he was basically telling them that there's something valuable in this container.

Matt, however, didn't care.

He hated those who constantly bickered.

He'd bid what he wanted, as high as he wanted.

This was why he was known as the troublemaker of the auction.

Allen asked Abel, "Bro, should we bid?"

Abel nodded, "Let's play along."

With his big brother's approval, Allen immediately called out, "10,000 StellarCoins!"

The price doubled again.

Seeing this, even the novice treasure hunters, regardless of their appraisal skills, didn't hesitate to follow suit.

"11,000 StellarCoins!"

"11,500 StellarCoins!"

"If you're only going to raise by 500, don't bother making a fool of yourself. I bid 12,000 StellarCoins!"

"You're also only raising by 500, and you have the gall to criticize others? 13,000 StellarCoins!"

Back and forth, the price was steadily rising at a rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, it reached a climax.

50,000 StellarCoins, that was Matt's bid.

Emilia stared at Matt, knowing he had gone all-in and transformed into the troublemaker.

If things continued this way, no matter how high she bid, he would keep following.

She needed to throw out a price that would deter him from following.

After mentally calculating the price of the mountain bikes, Emilia boldly called out, "65,000 StellarCoins!"

Sure enough, this price stunned everyone.

Not just Matt, almost everyone was taken aback.

At this moment, somehow the information about mountain bikes being in the container got leaked.

All the treasure hunters started to calculate internally.

They finally felt that unless the container was filled with top-notch mountain bikes, it was absolutely not worth this price.

This country wasn't known for producing renowned mountain bikes, so after some analysis, they decided not to go any further.

Whoever won this container would be at a loss!

Matt, however, didn't think so.

If it were ordinary mountain bikes, and not a mass-market scale, who would bother shipping them internationally?

The weight of the shipment alone would cost a fortune in freight charges.

Plus, those helmets in the display cabinets looked to be in good condition and of high quality.

Each one could be sold for a couple thousand StellarCoins, and that's second-hand.

So, these boxes absolutely contain top-tier mountain bikes.

Thus, he continued to bid, "70,000 StellarCoins!"

Emilia, who initially thought she had it under control, was suddenly deflated.

If the price went any higher, she wasn't sure if she could turn a profit.

After a long hesitation and an intense internal struggle, she could only helplessly raise her hands, "Matt, you win. I surrender, I don't want this container anymore."

The price of 70,000 StellarCoins also exceeded Abel's estimate, so he didn't let Allen continue bidding.

The remaining treasure hunters had already stepped aside to enjoy the show.

Seeing this, Robert understood that no one else would bid and was about to announce the result.

Just then, Daniel stepped forward.

"71,000 StellarCoins!"

Matt turned around, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He was about to secure the container when someone decided to throw a wrench into his plan.

How could he not be angry?

But seeing it was Daniel, Matt couldn't help but scoff, "Dan, your bid now, that's really interesting."

Matt was aware of Daniel's formidable appraisal skill and thought he wouldn't bid recklessly.

Stepping in now, didn't that indicate the value of these goods might be even higher?

Robert asked, "Daniel bids 71,000, Matt, are you going to match it?"

Matt replied with a smile, "Of course, 75,000 StellarCoins!"

All eyes turned to Daniel.

Unhurriedly, Daniel raised his hand, "76,000 StellarCoins."

If the price went up to 80,000 StellarCoins, it would exceed the system's buyback price.

If Matt followed up again, he would give up the bidding.

His initial reason for bidding was not to score a bargain, but to recycle it to the system to collect exchange points.

Studying the Atlantean script required 10,000 exchange points, and he didn't have any yet.

Though his current wealth could handle a loss, Daniel didn't see the need.

His years of living frugally taught him a lesson: money is hard to earn, shit's hard to eat.

There were plenty of opportunities to pick up a bargain, and he wasn't in a hurry to unlock the secrets of the Necronomicon.

There was no need to lose money to collect exchange points.

Slow and steady was the way.

Just as Robert was about to prompt Matt, Matt shouted out before Robert could open his mouth.

"I bid 79,000 StellarCoins!"

At this point, Matt started to hesitate.

Upon reflection, without any information on the cardboard boxes, he was essentially gambling, just like the previous round.

This raised the risk significantly.

If it turned out the same as last time, with nothing in the container.

A loss of nearly 80,000 StellarCoins, that was no small amount.

With this in mind, Matt suddenly regretted his previous bid.

He looked at Daniel, appearing calm on the outside, but inside, he was praying.

Dear Dan, please, bid higher!

Just another 1,000, and I will definitely concede this container!

The next second, a grin spread across Matt's face.

He saw Daniel raise his hand and bid again, "80,000 StellarCoins!"

Instantly, Matt was overjoyed.

It was only when the surrounding treasure hunters gave him strange looks that he regained his composure.

Robert asked, "Matt, are you going to raise the bid?"

Matt quickly shook his head, "The price is too high, let Dan have it."

Daniel actually noticed Matt's expression just now.

Although he didn't know why Matt's mindset suddenly changed, he knew that Matt couldn't wait for him to raise the bid.

This old fox, seems to have thought of something again.

Daniel couldn't be bothered to speculate and quietly waited for Robert to announce the result.

"Congrats, Dan, on winning the container. I wonder what kind of haul you're going to get this time."

All the treasure hunters gathered around, curious to see if Daniel had made a loss.

Emilia didn't rush over, instead walking up to Matt.

"Why did you suddenly stop bidding?"

Matt replied, "I suddenly felt like... I didn't want to gamble."

"If I lost at this price, it would be a huge loss."

Emilia looked at Matt in surprise, "Are you alright?"

Curious, Matt asked, "What do you mean?"

Emilia said, "Have you ever seen Daniel make a loss in all these auctions he's attended?"

Matt earnestly said, "Yes, he lost tens of thousands at the auction last week..."

Annoyed, Emilia interrupted, "You really live up to your troublemaker title!"

"Daniel's been attending auctions for less than a month, and he's only made a loss once, and from my point of view, he might not have even made a loss that time."

"Daniel suddenly raising his bid only proves the value of the container, and you actually gave up, troublemaker!"

Finished speaking, Emilia left in frustration.

"Where are you going?" Matt asked.

Without looking back, Emilia replied, "I'm going to see what's actually in the box!"

Hearing this, Matt followed.

He started regretting again.

He thought Emilia made a good point.

Among all the treasure hunters who had been to the container auction, Daniel was the only one who almost never lost.

If he had known, he would have hung in there for a couple more rounds!

He hoped there wasn't anything too valuable in the container, otherwise he might have a fit of rage.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The workers had already cleared all the goods.

Allen went over to help Daniel open the boxes.

To their surprise, the boxes didn't contain mountain bikes as they had guessed!

Instead, they were filled with brand-new laptops, all from renowned brands.

Matt, who had just come over, was left speechless.

A single laptop cost around 900 StellarCoins.

Counting the number of laptops, there were exactly a hundred!

All brand-new, worth ninety thousand StellarCoins!

Just this alone netted Daniel a profit of ten thousand StellarCoins!

Emilia commented softly, "You see, I was right."

Matt remained silent, his heart aching.

Ten thousand StellarCoins, just slipped through his fingers like that.

Then, Allen brought out a display case containing helmets.

Daniel took a look, "All top brand helmets, five in total."

"The second-hand price is conservatively estimated at around ten thousand."

Instantly, it was a profit of twenty thousand!

Matt was so furious he exploded, "Damn it!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Dan, are you a bloody shill for the port?"

"How do you always find these deals?!"

After saying this, Matt stormed off, fuming.

Out of sight, out of mind.
