Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 72 - -Another Astonishing Container? Frenzied Bidding!（1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）

You must know that in the last container, Matt, Wilson, and Emilia lost at least 300,000 StellarCoins altogether!

This is an absolute fortune!

Even if it’s divided equally among the three, a loss of 100,000 StellarCoins is nothing to scoff at.

Particularly for Emilia, who lost over 200,000 before even opening her stall for the morning.

Anyone else might’ve gone berserk by now.

In fact, the trio’s spirits had plummeted to an all-time low.

It was because Robert had noticed this that he hastily started the next round of Container Hunt Auction, in a bid to prevent their gloom from spreading to the other treasure hunters, thus deflating the vibe on-site and reducing his potential earnings.

What Robert didn’t anticipate was that the trio quickly recovered their spirits and continued to participate in the next round of bidding, thereby uplifting the spirits of the other treasure hunters.

Robert was overjoyed, and he quickly urged the staff, "Open it up!"

The staff cut off the lock and opened the container.

All the treasure hunters craned their necks to get a good look inside.

Daniel also took a curious peek, and what he saw were some brand new sculptures, distinctive furniture, and two vertical black boxes in the back that looked like safes.

Daniel glanced at the safe and began his appraisal silently in his mind.

The next second, a string of data appeared in front of his eyes.

[Item]: Modern password safe.

[Age]: Contemporary

[Condition]: Brand new

[Details]: Recently activated safe containing extremely important research data. The password is 132068.

[Appraisal]: This material has epoch-making significance for human research, strongly recommend the host to secure it!

[Market Price]: 1 billion StellarCoins.

[Buyback Price]: 800 million StellarCoins.

Daniel’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Am I seeing things???

He rubbed his eyes, then opened them wide to fixate on the figure after the market price.

After confirming it was 1 billion StellarCoins, Daniel heaved a sigh of relief.

Phew!

1 billion!

This was the highest-valued Container Hunt Auction he’d ever been a part of.

In the entire Container Hunt Auction scene, this was quite the showstopper.

Getting this container would mean nearly a tenfold increase in his net worth in one go!

Allen managed to squeeze through the crowd to reach Abel after some effort.

He quickly asked, "Bro, did you get a good look at what’s inside?"

Abel nodded, "Mostly crafts and artistic furniture. Big winners in the casinos love to splurge on these kinds of mementos."

Allen thought for a bit, "So that means it’s mostly worthless stuff then."

"Art pieces from the casino may sell for a high price, but they don’t hold much value in themselves. Only those gamblers who’ve had a stroke of luck and are overwhelmed with joy would buy them," Abel continued, "Besides, there are also two large safes inside. I wonder what’s in them."

Allen was surprised, "Safes?"

"Could they be filled with the money won from the casino?" He quickly dismissed his own suggestion, "No, that can’t be right. Casinos can directly deposit the money into the account. Who would go through the trouble of converting all the chips into cash and transport it home like this?"

Abel shook his head, "Probably not. If there were a large amount of cash in there, the owner would have definitely not forsaken this container."

Hearing this, Allen immediately lost interest in the container, "No matter how you look at it, this container doesn’t hold much value. Let’s skip this one."

"We’ll see," Abel replied casually, "There are others who are more eager than us." Of course, he was referring to Matt Wilson and Emilia, who had just suffered a loss of hundreds of thousands.

After a loss of 200,000 StellarCoins, even the resilient Emilia couldn’t easily brush off the impact.

She looked at the container and turned to Matt, "Should we bid for this container?"

Matt hesitated.

He had already gauged the potential worth of the container and it didn’t look very promising.

"The art pieces from the casino, though they sell for a high price, they’d only fetch a few thousand StellarCoins in the market. Given the number of pieces in the container, they might amount to about 50,000 StellarCoins. As for the safes, they appear to be brand new. The weight alone would cost almost the same as a new safe in terms of sea freight. I can’t think of a reason why anyone would ship two such big items in a sea container unless there’s something valuable inside."

Having said that, Matt turned to Emilia and Wilson, "Of course, this is a gamble and there’s a risk. If you two don’t want to take it, you can always choose to stop cooperating with me."

Emilia let out a self-deprecating smile, "I’ve already lost 200,000. What’s a little more?"

"Do as you see fit. As long as it’s not just giving money away, I’m on board," Wilson chimed in, "I’m in too."

Upon hearing that both were willing to continue the cooperation, Matt’s spirits lifted.

"Alright, let’s try to get this container and make up for our losses."

The triplets had also finished their discussion.

They weren’t very familiar with the workings of casinos, but the sight of the safes sparked interest in their eyes.

They had seen multiple instances on the show where people discovered valuables from such safes, which was why they had decided to participate in the Container Hunt Auction in the first place.

To their surprise, they ran into safes on their first attempt.

The oldest said to his younger brothers, "Let’s wait for others to bid first. Once the price seems right, we’ll swoop in with a decisive bid and try to get this container!"

The second one was worried, "Big brother, what if there’s nothing in the safes? Won’t we be at a loss?"

The oldest replied, "That’s why I said we should wait for others to bid first. If the price is within our expectation, we’ll bid. We won’t lose much. If it exceeds our estimate, we’ll let it go."

The second one nodded, agreeing with the plan.

The youngest one didn’t quite understand the complexities but knew to follow his elder brothers.

Hearing their conversation, he quickly added, "Go ahead and bid, big brother, I trust you!"

The other treasure hunters had also sized things up more or less, each waiting to make their move.

A minority of them, thinking differently from the rest, felt the container didn’t have much going for it, and so opted to drop out.

No matter whether they were brimming with anticipation or choosing to give up, there was one thing they all surprisingly agreed on - no one was looking to Daniel for cues.

After the previous round of auction, their trust in Daniel’s appraisal skills had dwindled.

The seasoned treasure hunters, even though they knew Daniel was just playing tricks so as not to be outbid, couldn’t do much about it.

Nobody could tell whether Daniel’s excitement for this container was real or feigned.

So, to play it safe, it was best to trust their own judgment.

Seeing his strategy working, Daniel was quite pleased.

Viewers in the live stream also started to laugh and comment.

"Haha, these cheeky ones dare not look at the streamer anymore."

"They are afraid of being duped by the streamer."

"Does this container that the streamer picked have any good stuff? It looks pretty good to me."

"Are you going for this container, streamer?"

Daniel replied, "Not bad, you’ll see how I do later."

Robert waited until the treasure hunters were done pondering, then with a smile approached everyone.

"Time’s up, everyone start bidding."

"This container from Gambling City has no starting price, who will make the first bid?"

As soon as Robert finished speaking, Matt instantly placed a bid.

"10,000 StellarCoins!"

Straight off the bat, he lifted the price to a certain height, to weed out the small-fry treasure hunters.

The triplets all had a fierce look in their eyes.

This troublemaker Matt, was again throwing around prices.

His first bid scared off quite a few people.

Remembering how they had to pay an extra 10,000 StellarCoins in interest to compete with Matt for the previous container, the eldest triplet felt a surge of annoyance.

Ignoring his previous plan, he immediately raised his hand to bid, "15,000 StellarCoins!"

Abel followed suit, "16,000 StellarCoins!"

Having been idle all morning, the current price was right within his expected range.

Matt shot a predatory look at the triplets and Abel, then loudly raised the bid, "20,000 StellarCoins!"

This price made the treasure hunters feel something was off.

Matt started off with a bid of 10,000 StellarCoins, and now he’s added another 4,000 StellarCoins!

It seemed this troublemaker was desperate after his loss and was determined to get this container!

The triplets quickly countered, "21,000 StellarCoins!"

Abel wasn’t to be outdone either, "22,000 StellarCoins!"

Matt scorned, "Raising by a thousand each time, if you guys are only this brave, you’d better give up as early as possible."

"25,000 StellarCoins!"

The price continued to rise, with a few new treasure hunters also bidding in the meantime.

Even though they only raised the price by 500 StellarCoins, the price quickly increased through continuous bidding, and soon reached 45,000 StellarCoins.
