Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 61 - -Valuable Land? Underground Gold!!!(2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Allen sighed, "Dan, your luck is unbelievable." "Let’s go buy a lottery ticket together after the auction."
Daniel smiled, knowing that Allen was joking.
Wilson asked, "Durant, how much is this 3000 acres of land worth?"
Durant thought for a moment, "The deed says the land is near Scott Mountain. I happen to have a friend who owns over 500 acres of woodland there, worth fifty thousand StellarCoins. So, Daniel’s 3000 acres of land is probably worth three to four hundred thousand."
Everyone sighed in unison. Less than ten thousand StellarCoins for a windfall of four hundred thousand.
It was enough to make anyone green with envy.
Emilia’s eyes sparkled as she laughed, "If Matt knew, he’d probably be livid." Allen replied, "He had it coming."
"Bro, let’s go. Daniel has scored big with the last two containers, we must secure the next one." Abel nodded and turned towards the next container to be auctioned.
After the excitement, Emilia and Wilson also left. Daniel didn’t move, his brow furrowed in confusion.
According to Durant, the land deed was worth at most four hundred thousand.
But the system’s appraisal showed a market value of over thirty million.
He glanced at the land deed in his hand and had the system appraise it again.
The value was still over thirty million, could Durant be mistaken?
Durant mentioned that his friend also owned land in the same area, so there shouldn’t be a mistake in the land value estimation.
Then why was there such a vast difference in the estimated prices?
Unless, there was something else on the land worth over tens of millions.
With that thought, Daniel immediately sprang into action.
If there were other structures on the land, that would complicate matters.
No matter how high their value, they wouldn’t belong to him.
He first found Abel, asked him to handle the batch of furniture, and then excused himself from the harbor.
Following the navigation system, he sped directly towards Scott Mountain.
Scott Mountain was located in Los Santlant, over two hundred kilometers away from Golden Shores.
Two hours later, Daniel arrived at his destination.
He drove into Scott Mountain along Route 3, reaching his land.
The land sloped downwards from halfway up the mountain, where dense forests and frequent boulders could be seen.
Daniel drove around, relieved to see no buildings.
But the problem emerged again.
What exactly could make this land soar in value to over thirty million?
The vegetation and rocks on the land certainly couldn’t account for this much.
Daniel parked the car, found a small footpath and decided to do some preliminary exploration.
He kept his high-tech Desert Eagle at his side, just in case.
Such a forest was bound to be home to wild animals.
The footpath was winding and rough, but open from east to west.
After walking for over an hour, Daniel checked his map on the phone.
He was almost off his own land, but apart from the plants and trees, he saw nothing unusual.

Daniel turned back, looking at the boundless land.
If he wanted to thoroughly explore every inch, he realized he couldn’t do it alone.
He pulled out his phone, ready to call Rachel to see if she knew any professionals in this field.
Just then, Daniel heard a clang of metal.
Following the noise, he found two men, one slim and the other muscular, hammering a huge rock next to a stream.
Looking closely, he saw that the rock was faintly glistening with gold in the sunlight.
Holy crap! Could it be a gold nugget?
Daniel focused his gaze on the partially exposed golden rock.
The system appraisal results flashed in Daniel’s mind.
[Item]: Gold Nugget
[Age]: 2.4 billion years ago
[Condition]: Contains many impurities
[Details]: A raw ore mixed with various ores, mainly gold sand and accompanying gold.
[Appraisal]: Naturally formed, highly valuable!
[Market Price]: 31,240,000
[Buyback Price]: 30,000,000
That’s it! Subtracting the land’s original worth of three hundred thousand, this gold ore is worth 31.24 million StellarCoins!
The high-value treasure initially identified by the system was it!
He watched as the two men eagerly hammered away, trying to break the gold ore.
Daniel approached, "I was wondering what you two are planning to do on my land?"
The sudden appearance of Daniel startled the men, but seeing he was alone, they calmed down.
The muscular man eyed Daniel with a hostile look.
The slim man seemed to reach for something behind his back while studying Daniel.
The two of them asked warily, "Who are you?"
Daniel, noticing the slim man’s movement, smiled subtly, "If you are on my land, it naturally follows that I am the landowner."
The slim man nonchalantly asked, "We haven’t seen anyone manage this land for decades. What makes you think you own it?"
Daniel pulled out the land deed, unfolded it, and showed them.
They initially thought Daniel was bluffing, or that the deed itself was a fake.
But after thorough examination, they couldn’t find any issues.
That meant the land did belong to him.
According to Libertopia’s law, everything within a property belongs to the landowner.
The brothers had discovered the gold ore some time ago.
After investigating for a few days and finding the land unattended, they began their work.
They never expected to encounter the landowner just as they got started.
The two men exchanged glances, understanding each other’s thoughts from their expressions.
In this deserted area, it would be easy to kill the landowner and bury him.
No one would discover the crime for quite a long time.
Why not... give it a shot?
Suddenly, the muscular man lunged forward, swinging his hammer at Daniel.
The heavy hammer seemed like a cotton ball in his hands, moving effortlessly.
The slim man pulled out a pitch-black pistol, aiming at Daniel.
He didn’t shoot, probably due to a lack of confidence in his marksmanship, afraid to inadvertently hurt his partner.
Faced with the sudden attack, Daniel sidestepped.
The hammer hit the ground, causing it to tremble.
Daniel swiftly pulled out his Desert Eagle. Without even aiming, he reacted instinctively and fired.
Boom!
A loud noise.
The slim man’s head exploded like a watermelon.
Daniel quickly slid to the left, positioning the muscular man between him and the blood and brain matter spraying everywhere.
All of this happened in an instant.
The strong man was startled by the thunderous bang, his ears buzzing painfully, and before he could react, he felt warmth on his back.
Turning his head, his pupils shrank to a point and his features twisted in horror.
Then, he let out a terrified scream.
"Ah!!!"
His companion, just alive a moment ago, was now a headless corpse lying on the ground, blood gushing from his shattered head.
The muscular man had never witnessed such a horrific scene before.
His legs gave out from fear, and he collapsed on the spot.
Daniel didn’t consider himself cruel.
If he hadn’t shot, he would be the one dead.
Maybe due to his sharpshooter-level gun skills, the gory scene in front of him didn’t disturb his mental state.
Wrinkling his nose, Daniel noticed a stench.
Looking down, he saw a wet, yellow patch on the muscular man’s crotch.
He’d soiled himself from fear.
Daniel covered his nose, saying disgustedly, "You don’t even have the guts, and you dared to try to kill someone."
The strong man, trembling, crawled up from the ground and pleaded, "I don’t want the gold ore anymore. You can have it. I won’t tell anyone about Stephen’s death. Please, let me go. I don’t want to die!"
Daniel crouched down, pressing his gun against the man’s head, "Your companion may have been killed by me, but it was self-defense. His death was meaningless."
"As for you, you tried to kill me with your hammer. And you’re still on my land. According to Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground law, if I feel threatened by you, I can still shoot you until you are no longer a threat."
The muscular man shivered with fear, on the verge of tears.
Threat?
He had already soiled himself out of fear.
Who could he threaten?
Besides, he was the one with a gun pointed at him.
Who was the real threat here?
The muscular man cried, pleading, "Bro, please let me go. I promise I’ll leave this place, leave Los Santlant city, and never come back!"
Daniel nodded, "I can let you go, but you must promise me one thing."
Seeing a glimmer of hope, the muscular man was beyond excited, "Bro, I promise you anything!"
Daniel said, "You can’t tell anyone about what happened here. If there’s any leak, I assure you, I’ll make your life a living hell."
The muscular man hurriedly nodded, "Don’t worry, bro, if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s keeping my mouth shut. I’ll keep this to myself and won’t tell anyone!"
