Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 66 - -The Container Hunt Auction is underway! The perfect container?(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
As soon as they arrived, Allen asked, "Dan, have you found a buyer yet?"
Abel, wearing a stern expression, said seriously, "How many times have I told you not to bring this up in public?"
Allen chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, "Everyone here is a familiar treasure hunter, there’s no outsiders."
Abel spoke gravely, "It’s not theft we need to fear, but the covetous. Leaking any news might only cause trouble for Dan."
Allen pouted but said nothing more.
Seeing that Abel was about to scold him again, Daniel quickly interrupted, "It’s okay, no one would believe it anyway."
He had just mentioned it in front of Matt, although his tone made it sound like a joke.
But an outrageous story about an auctioned container revealing a plot of land with a gold mine underneath... not many people would believe that.
Daniel didn’t care, so Abel didn’t say anything more.
Meanwhile, Emilia asked curiously, "Dan, what are you trying to sell? That piece of land you got last time?"
Daniel nodded, "No use keeping it, might as well find someone to sell it to."
Emilia asked, "How much do you want for it? Maybe I can help you find a buyer."
Daniel replied, "The normal price would be around 300,000. But I’m not in a rush, you don’t need to go out of your way to find a buyer, just keep an eye out."
He wasn’t in a hurry to sell the gold mine or the land.

Emilia nodded in understanding.
At that moment, Robert appeared in front of the crowd with some documents.
"Everyone seems to have come quite early today!"
"Oh, my dear Dan, where have you been these days? You’ve missed out on a lot of good stuff by not attending the auctions."
Daniel replied, "That’s why I’m here now."
Robert smiled, "It’s good to see you, Dan. I’m looking forward to your performance today. Now, let’s get straight to it. The first container we’re auctioning off today is the one right behind me."
Robert turned and pointed to the container stacked on top.
Two forklifts appeared, ready to get started.
Meanwhile, Daniel started his livestream.
"Holy cow! The streamer finally shows up!"
"I thought you stopped streaming, what a pity."
"Thank God I kept waiting, finally you’re back!"
Daniel paused streaming not only because he was busy with the gold mine, but also partly intentionally.
He wanted to make the TW livestreaming platform agree to his terms.
Over the past few days, the platform had lost a lot of traffic because he hadn’t been streaming.
The fact that a single streamer’s inactivity could cause such a significant drop in traffic was a testament to Daniel’s unique status.
It was also the reason Selena agreed to Daniel’s terms.
Daniel was surprised. Despite not streaming for a while, there were still thousands of people in his chatroom.
Did these people not have normal lives?
He made a fist salute to the screen, "Thanks for your support. I’ve been busy with personal matters recently, but I’ll try to stream as much as possible today."
The chat exploded, "We’ll hold you to that!"
"End the stream early, and we’ll curse you!"
"It looks like the streamer is at the Container Hunt Auction. Finally doing the real job!"
As the banter went on, the auctioned container was already on the ground.
Robert stood in front of the container door, wearing a professional smile.
"Alright, folks, the auction is about to begin! This container comes from Serenalia. Since we couldn’t contact the recipient, and the sender refused to pay for the return freight, it’s now up for public auction."
"Serenalia, as you know, is renowned for its industrial manufacturing. Everything from high-tech electronic products to cheap daily necessities is known around the world. It’s often referred to as the world’s factory."
"Whatever’s in this container, I’m sure you could turn a tidy profit by reselling it."
"But remember, keep your eyes wide open. You don’t want to mistake daily necessities for electronic products."
"The usual rules apply - we’re giving you time to examine the container."
After Robert finished, the staff cut the lock and opened the door.
The treasure hunters glanced at the container and looked troubled.
The goods inside were completely wrapped in waterproof cloth, and the boxes of various sizes were neatly stacked, providing no clues.
This was a true mystery box, the value of which had to be guessed purely by intuition.
Seeing this, Matt swore in annoyance.
"For fuck’s sake! If you don’t want us to bid, just say so."
"Everything’s so well packed, who the hell can tell what’s inside?"
Wilson shared Matt’s view, "This might be a good thing for the receiver, ensuring the goods’ safety."
"But for us, this is absolute shit!"
Hearing their complaints, Allen muttered, "Why not just ditch the packaging and tell us directly what’s inside?"
"Everyone will know the value of the stuff inside. Then it’s all about who’s willing to cut their profit margins the thinnest. But if that’s the case, why wouldn’t you just go straight to the factories to get your stock?" Emilia nodded vigorously in agreement.
The main attraction of the Container Hunt Auction is its mystery.
The possibility of scoring a jackpot only happens when the value of the goods inside the container isn’t apparent to most.
If everything inside the container is laid bare, then what’s the difference from shopping at a supermarket?
The triplet brothers also agreed with Allen’s point of view.
The eldest crossed his arms and stated, "It’s only when the contents are unknown that there’s an urge to bid."
The second brother stared intently at the container, "The packaging doesn’t give anything away. You’d only put in this much effort to wrap things up if what’s inside was of high value, right?"
The youngest nodded in agreement, "Second brother’s got it right. The packaging is just too perfect. We absolutely have to get this container!"
Hearing the brothers’ analysis, the other treasure hunters started getting interested as well.
Each was using their own unique methods to inspect the contents of the container.
The Allen brothers were also observing for quite some time.
Allen asked his older brother, "Bro, do we go for this one?"
Abel pondered a while before shaking his head, "No rush. Let’s see how it goes first. Other than Matt and Wilson, all the treasure hunters seem to be very interested in this container. The price might be driven up quite high. I really can’t tell what these goods are, so if the price gets too high, it’s not worth the risk for us."
Allen nodded in agreement.
The vibe at the auction began to heat up significantly, bringing a smile to Robert’s face.
He scanned the crowd and declared with a wave of his hand, "Time’s up. The bidding starts now. Who’ll make the first bid?"
Everyone looked at each other, not wanting to be the first.
But soon enough, a treasure hunter couldn’t hold back and bid, "1000 StellarCoins."
The bid was a clear test of the waters.
The youngest of the triplet brothers immediately responded, "5000 StellarCoins!"
Surprisingly, even Wilson, who initially seemed uninterested, joined the bidding, "7000 StellarCoins."
Emilia glanced at Wilson and Matt, standing together, and asked, "So, you’ve suddenly taken interest in this container?"
Wilson remained silent, while Matt simply responded, "After a closer look, it seems to have some potential."
In reality, during the inspection stage, both Matt and Wilson also realized the significance of the contents inside the container.
The new waterproof cloth wrapping, still carrying a few scattered characters from Serenalia.
Matt secretly checked it out on his phone, and although the language was a bit challenging for him, he managed to decipher that it meant ’electronic products’.
Considering the high value of such items, naturally he had to join the bidding.
Seeing even the troublemaker Matt start bidding, Emilia couldn’t hesitate anymore and immediately declared, "10,000 StellarCoins!"
This bid instantly sparked the enthusiasm of the other treasure hunters.
The triplet brothers were the first to follow.
The eldest said, "15,000 StellarCoins!"
He shot a flirtatious glance at Emilia, "If we’re going to play, let’s play big. Do you dare to follow?" Emilia responded with a playful smirk, "You’re so annoying, always picking on me."
The flirting between the eldest brother and Emilia made everyone around them cringe.
It was utterly uncomfortable watching two people in their forties openly flirting in public.
With the triplets raising their bid, Matt wouldn’t be left behind.
"20,000 StellarCoins!" he exclaimed.
Seeing the intense vibe, Allen couldn’t help but raise his hand to bid, "25,000 StellarCoins!"
Wilson followed suit immediately, "30,000 StellarCoins!"
This price made many of the treasure hunters shake their heads.
For these new treasure hunters, 30,000 StellarCoins was indeed a substantial sum.
As a result, one after another, treasure hunters started to drop out of the auction.
As the price continued to rise, Daniel focused his attention on the container.
He silently muttered in his mind, "Begin appraisal!"
Quickly, the system displayed the appraisal result.
