Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 70 - - Keep Up The Tricks! I’ll make sure you fall in!(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
As Daniel made his bid, the atmosphere became even more charged.
This signified a high chance of valuable finds in the container.
All they needed to do was to follow his lead, and they were sure to profit.
Wilson, energized and ready for Matt to continue bidding, was puzzled by Matt’s furrowed brow.
"Matt, aren’t you going to continue bidding?" Wilson asked, confused.
"Bidding further would be a waste of effort. Do you think you can outspend Daniel?" Matt replied, somberly.
Stumped, Wilson couldn’t deny that his funds paled in comparison to Daniel’s.
But giving up so readily seemed too feeble, too spineless.
How could they just let such a profitable container slip through their fingers?
Matt, of course, wasn’t about to let that happen.
He had resolved not to let any potential treasures slip by, especially those Daniel was eyeing.
His words were designed to catch Emilia’s attention.
Among the three of them, only she had the financial muscle to rival Daniel.
Heaving a sigh, Matt wore a defeated look and said, "Seems like we have to give up."
Hearing this, Emilia quickly retorted, "We can’t give up! You just keep bidding, money is not an issue."
Matt couldn’t help but feel a sense of victory.
He’d been waiting for those exact words.
But his joy was short-lived when Emilia added, "But, I can provide the funds, but I want the lion’s share of the profits."
A twitch at the corner of Matt’s mouth betrayed his annoyance.
This woman certainly knew how to seize an opportunity.
But before he could respond, Wilson said, "Of course! As long as we get the container, I don’t care about the profit split!"
Idiot! Matt cursed inwardly.
Initially hoping to secure a larger cut for himself, Wilson’s words left him with no choice but to agree, "I have no problem either. We can divide the profits based on our contributions."
With the agreement in place, they upped their bid. Matt raised his hand and shouted, "150,000 StellarCoins!"
The price had already exceeded 100,000 StellarCoins.
Matt didn’t believe that what attracted Daniel to bid would only bring a measly profit of tens of thousands.
Therefore, adding another 30,000 didn’t seem excessive.
On hearing the new bid, Daniel’s expression didn’t change, but he was elated.
Matt truly lived up to his reputation as a troublemaker in the world of Container Hunt Auction.

Initially planning to gradually increase the price to torture these people, he hadn’t expected Matt to directly jack up the price to exceed the market value of the goods in the container.
Any further bidding would definitely be a huge loss. Remaining composed, he commented to his livestream viewers, "Friends, take a look, the first big loser has appeared."
Viewers in the livestream were oblivious to what was happening, assuming Matt’s bid was merely to outbid Daniel, which sparked their annoyance.
"Damn, this Matt really is a troublemaker."
"He just jacked up the price by 30k in one go. How’s anyone supposed to compete?"
"Keep bidding! The streamer is loaded, just go all in!"
"Bring it on!"
Daniel just shook his head, not saying a word. It didn’t matter if the viewers didn’t understand yet, the real show was just beginning. They’d understand soon enough.
On the other hand, the triplet brothers were in a dilemma.
They didn’t want to give up on the container which seemed like a potential money-maker, but the current price was admittedly beyond their expectations.
150,000 StellarCoins wasn’t a small sum.
The youngest softly asked, "Bro, are we still raising our bid?"
The eldest brother remained silent, deep in thought.
The middle brother then added, "According to my analysis, there’s still room for bidding."
The eldest brother slowly turned to look at him.
Seeing this, the middle brother continued, "The clothes themselves aren’t cheap, Matt’s bid isn’t much higher than their value, meaning the cost of taking a gamble now isn’t that much."
"Moreover, since Daniel has placed a bid, it indicates that this container is highly valuable, and the probability of winning the gamble is high!"
The youngest brother immediately applauded, "Second brother, you’re awesome! If you’d used your brain earlier, we three brothers might have been millionaires by now."
The eldest brother still wore a thoughtful expression.
He looked at Daniel in the distance, feeling that something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint it.
After thinking it over, he felt that the middle brother’s analysis made some sense, so he decided to raise his bid, "160,000 StellarCoins!"
In the crowd, an unfamiliar treasure hunter followed suit after some contemplation, "165,000 StellarCoins!"
After a round of bids, all eyes turned to Daniel. If Daniel didn’t bid, nobody else dared to. The viewers in the live stream were fuming.
"These damn opportunists!"
"They’re using the streamer as a stepping stone. As soon as the streamer raises the price, they jump in assuming there’s more room for the container’s value to increase."
"I’m so pissed, isn’t this against the rules?"
"Where’s the host? Why aren’t they stepping in to stop this blatant tailgating?"
Daniel glanced around and saw Robert standing at the front of the crowd, making no move to intervene.
It seemed that such behavior wasn’t forbidden in this auction.
If that was the case, he had no reason to hold back.
Daniel raised his hand without any change in his expression, "200,000 StellarCoins!"
Underneath his calm demeanor, he had just raised the bid by 40,000 StellarCoins at once!
Every treasure hunter gasped.
Their eyes were blazing with a light called impulse.
This bidding range indicated the high value of the container’s contents!
Emilia immediately instructed Matt, "Raise it, add fifty thousand!"
Matt was taken aback for a moment, but quickly shouted, "250,000 StellarCoins!"
This price caused an uproar among the treasure hunters.
A small portion of them, still confused about the situation, were simply awe-struck.
"Are these people nuts?" someone exclaimed, "It’s just a damn shipping container, is it worth spending this much money?"
An experienced treasure hunter quickly spoke up, "You newbies, if you don’t understand, just keep your mouths shut. Their bids indicate the treasures they’ve spotted in the container that are worth more than the bid. Let me give you a tip - in situations like these, just stay in the game. If by chance you score, it’ll be a huge profit."
Newcomers nodded cluelessly and then complained, "But we don’t have that kind of money."
The complaint struck a chord with everyone around them.
They too couldn’t afford such extravagant bids.
Evidently, this competition had silently eliminated them.
Elsewhere, the triplet brothers were gobsmacked.
"Is this for real?" the youngest brother asked in disbelief, "Two rounds of bidding and the price has gone up by ninety thousand StellarCoins. Are they all made of money?"
The second brother shook his head, "This price is too high. Maybe we should just back out."
The eldest brother felt reluctant.
The way these people were raising their bids had ignited a fiery passion within him.
He was convinced that the container’s value was far beyond his wildest imagination.
He wanted to continue bidding, but faced a harsh reality - they didn’t have enough money!
After pondering for a while, he finally made a decision, "I’m thinking of mortgaging our house!"
Upon hearing this, his younger brothers were so shocked that they were rendered speechless.
After a long silence, the second brother spoke, "You’re not serious, are you?"
The youngest chimed in, "If the container turns out to be worthless, we’ll lose our home. We’ll be homeless."
The second brother added, "And if we can’t win the bid for this container, we’ll still have to pay a substantial amount of interest. Are you sure about this?"
The eldest brother, with a resolute look in his eyes, took out his phone and dialed a number.
Meanwhile, Daniel was closely observing the situation.
Currently, the only ones still interested in raising their bids were Matt’s group and the triplet brothers.
Everyone else was watching him.
If they want a bidding war, then they’ll get one.
I’ll bleed them dry.
Daniel raised his bid again, but this time, instead of a big leap, he added just the minimum increment according to auction rules, "250,500 StellarCoins!"
The sudden change left all the treasure hunters taken aback.
Moments ago, the price was changing by tens of thousands, and now it had only increased by 500.
Moreover, it was Daniel, the one who had caused the bidding frenzy, who came up with this new price.
What was he up to?
Matt, Wilson, and Emilia were also puzzled.
"What is he trying to pull off here?" Matt asked.
"Could it be that he’s reached his limit?" Wilson speculated.
Emilia disagreed, "We’ve just raised by 50000. I doubt he’s hit his limit that quickly. I think he’s testing us."
Matt asked, "Testing what?"
Emilia confidently answered, "He’s testing whether we know the real value of the container or not. He thinks we don’t, so he suddenly raised by such a small amount to mess with our judgement."
Wilson quickly agreed, "I see. That’s pretty cunning."
Emilia confidently smiled, "Let’s keep up, but we should also lower our increments."
Upon hearing this, Matt continued to bid, "260,000 StellarCoins!"
Daniel quickly matched it, "260,500 StellarCoins."
Without hesitation, Matt bid again, "270,000 StellarCoins!"
Both sides continued their back-and-forth, with Matt’s group always raising by 10000StellarCoins, while Daniel stuck with his 500StellarCoins increase.
The price was quickly driven up to 300,000 StellarCoins by the two groups.
