Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 68 - -Emilia’s Collapse! Misrepresentation?（1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）

The treasure hunters stood dumbfounded.

None had foreseen the box would be filled with such worthless trinkets.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?"

"I mean, this stuff wouldn’t even be ruined by water damage. Did they really need to go all out with the packaging?"

"That much waterproof fabric could cost close to a thousand StellarCoins, just to protect these cheap items."

"That’s Serenalian people for you, ridiculously meticulous."

"I’m relieved it wasn’t me who won this container. I’d probably pass out from the shock by now."

"Look at you, then look at Emilia. Even with this outcome, she’s as cool as a cucumber."

"I can’t compare with her. She’s got a sugar daddy backing her up. I bet she wouldn’t even blink if she lost a million, let alone a hundred thousand."

Emilia stood wide-eyed, unblinking.

But she wasn’t calm, she was beyond shocked, completely taken aback.

Sure, she was well-off, but that was a hundred thousand StellarCoins!

In some places, a sum like that could sustain you for a lifetime.

The pain was intense, her heart ached.

She had considered the possibility of a loss but never expected it to be this catastrophic.

A hundred thousand StellarCoins, the equivalent of several designer handbags, just thrown away.

Elsewhere, the triplet brothers were also counting their lucky stars.

The youngest brother looked at the oldest with admiration: "Bro, you’re a legend!"

The middle one agreed, "If it weren’t for our eldest brother’s timely restraint, we would’ve been done for."

The eldest, still visibly shaken, muttered, "Container Hunt Auction, where one box can make you or break you, certainly lives up to its reputation."

"That was a close shave. We need to be extra careful moving forward!"

The two younger brothers nodded in agreement, utterly convinced by their elder brother’s sense of caution.

The other treasure hunters, after the initial shock, shrugged it off.

This was a familiar scene to these gamblers - that’s the allure of the Container Hunt Auction.

It wasn’t just about luck but also appraisal skills!

In their eyes, Emilia had just fallen short in both luck and appraisal skills this time.

Robert led the crowd to the next container up for auction.

Glancing at the info in his hand, he announced loudly, "Gentlemen, this container is intriguing."

"It’s also shipped from Serenalia. But don’t lose hope just yet. The recipient, a Serenalian, violated a law against selling antiques and was extradited."

"Fortunately, this batch of goods wasn’t detected, so it’s up for public auction!"

"It’s business as usual, folks. Feel free to inspect," he concluded, and the container was then opened.

In an instant, all the treasure hunters huddled up to the container.

If the owner had been arrested for trafficking artifacts, his container might just be filled with them!

Even though no one knew the specifics, anything related to antiquities could be unimaginably valuable.

Even Emilia, who had almost lost it previously, disregarded her earlier loss and pushed her way to the front of the crowd.

Losing a hundred thousand StellarCoins might be a significant hit, but it wasn’t a death blow.

What mattered now was to bounce back and make up for the losses.

If she could secure this container, which could possibly be filled with antique artifacts, she could instantly turn the tables.

With dozens of people crowded around the container, Daniel could hardly squeeze in.

The throng completely blocked the container’s entrance, so he was forced to stand behind the crowd and appraise the container from a distance.

"Initiate appraisal!" he thought to himself.

[Condition]: Slightly worn

[Details]: Contains cargo from Serenalia, including high-value crafts.

[Appraisal]: Has minor value, consider bidding!

[Market Price]: 130,000 StellarCoins.

[Buyback Price]: 130,000 StellarCoins.

Crafts? Daniel pondered with a furrowed brow.

Crafts were modern manufactured items, not antiquities.

Yet, being valued at 130,000 StellarCoins, they were top-notch crafts. It was a go!

With his mind set, Daniel continued to observe the other treasure hunters’ reactions.

The mere mention of possible artifacts had already ignited their passions.

Old foxes like Matt and Wilson began using every approved tool at their disposal to probe the container’s contents.

Wilson had a magnifying glass in his hand, scrutinizing objects within reach.

Matt, on the other hand, was using a telescope to inspect the container’s interior.

"Wilson, see anything?" asked Matt.

Wilson, without looking up, shook his head. "Not yet. It seems most of the items in this container are textiles."

Matt put down his telescope and said irritably, "Same here. It’s all new clothes, nothing that suggests the presence of artifacts."

Wilson queried, "Did Robert just throw us off track?"

After pondering for a moment, Matt replied, "It’s possible. He’s not lying, but it might not have anything to do with this container."

Wilson muttered under his breath, "Damn it, the old coot got me all excited for nothing."

Matt added, "Still, these clothes might have some value. Serenalia is a major exporter of clothing. These pieces look high-quality, might be mass-produced brand-name stuff."

Wilson nodded, agreeing with Matt’s assessment.

Then something occurred to him and he said, "Emilia might know more about this. She’s one of the few women amongst us after all."

Matt reacted quickly, plunging into the crowd to pull Emilia aside.

In hushed tones, he asked, "What’s the value of those clothes in the container?"

Emilia glanced at Matt and Wilson before answering, "They’re okay."

Her answer was as good as not answering at all, offering no tangible clue.

Matt, knowing full well that Emilia was also a cunning player, went straight to the point, "Want to team up?"

Emilia replied with a sly smile, "What kind of team-up are we talking about?"

Wilson, fearing Matt might offer a high price, interjected, "We share the risk and split the profits evenly."

Emilia didn’t respond immediately, hesitating for a moment.

After losing 100,000 StellarCoins, she had become extremely cautious.

But soon, she agreed. With three people sharing the risk, even a loss wouldn’t be too devastating.

Once she agreed, Emilia said, "I’ve checked out the clothes. They’re not internationally renowned brands, but the quality is good. Given the quantity, they should be worth around fifty to sixty thousand StellarCoins."

Matt and Wilson were taken aback. "That much?"

They had initially assumed a pile of clothes wouldn’t be worth much.

But fifty to sixty thousand StellarCoins was way beyond their expectations.

Matt looked around at the crowd.

At that moment, many people were still fretting over the non-existent artifacts, continuously lodging complaints to Robert.

"Why are there only old clothes?"

"Are the antiques hidden inside the clothes?"

"This is false advertising!"

"Where are the promised artifacts?!"

"Robert, God won’t forgive those who lie!"

"If there are no antiques, we’ll boycott this auction, we protest!"

"Yes, we protest against your false advertising!"

Matt couldn’t help but smile.

The more ruckus they caused, the better his chances of securing the container.

Faced with the uproar, Robert seemed a tad impatient, "I simply shared the details of the container. I never said it contained antiques."

"Anyone who continues to make a fuss will be escorted out by security!" he warned. At this, the treasure hunters quickly quieted down. Being expelled from the auction would mean missing out on making money.

Seeing his tactic work, Robert appeared satisfied.

He glanced at the crowd and announced, "The bidding for this container starts at 2000 StellarCoins!"

As soon as the starting bid was announced, many treasure hunters began to outbid one another.

"2500 StellarCoins!"

"3000 StellarCoins!"

"3500 StellarCoins!"

Even at these prices, there was still money to be made from the clothes in the container.

Despite their previous clamor, no one would joke about the opportunity to make a profit.

As the bidding price started rising, Matt’s expression soured.

He looked at the crowd, cursing them under his breath.

Just a bunch of shameless profiteers.

They had raised such a fuss earlier but changed their tune as soon as there was a profit to be made.

Emilia turned to Matt, "Should we bid?"

The price had already been pushed up to 8000 StellarCoins, demonstrating the crowd’s enthusiasm.

After considering for a moment, Matt raised his hand and called out, "15000 StellarCoins!"

He hoped to stun the other treasure hunters with his aggressive bidding and secure the container effortlessly.

However, reality often throws curveballs.

The nearly doubled price indeed deterred most treasure hunters, but it didn’t faze the Allen brothers.

At Abel’s signal, Allen raised their bid to their maximum limit, "30000 StellarCoins!"

They were playing the same doubling game.

The question now was who wanted to make the money more.
