Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 73 - -Daniel Makes His Move, If He Needs to Splash the Cash, He Will!(2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
The current highest bid was 45,000 StellarCoins, placed by Abel.
Allen, astonished, turned to Abel, "Bro, is this container worth that much?" He felt it wasn’t.
Abel answered, "The price is still within a reasonable range, but looking at Matt, he seems ready to go higher."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Matt’s voice rang out.
"Damn! I bid 50,000 StellarCoins!"
Matt was starting to lose patience, he was tired of the tedious bidding increments.
Allen was somewhat taken aback, "Is this guy nuts? Those artifacts are not worth that much."
Abel said, "No, he’s after those two safes."
Allen was stunned, then gritted his teeth, "This guy’s a real troublemaker... no, he’s just crazy."
The price had surpassed Abel and Allen’s expectations, and the two brothers chose to bow out.
The triplet brothers were also deliberating.
The second brother frowned and expressed his concern, "Has Matt really been driven mad? Do we still want to compete with them?"
Before the eldest could speak, the youngest interjected, "Of course we should!"
"There could be valuable items in those safes. I think they alone are worth throwing in 20,000 StellarCoins."
Seeing their normally most simple-minded brother starting to think strategically, the two older brothers were surprised and relieved.
The eldest said, "Youngest has the same idea as me. I just made a call, someone’s willing to buy those artifacts for 50,000 StellarCoins. As for the two safes, we can gamble 10,000 StellarCoins each. It’s worth a try."
The second brother didn’t voice any objections.
70,000 StellarCoins was their limit.
With this in mind, the eldest brother shouted, "We bid 60,000 StellarCoins!"
A sudden increase of 10,000 StellarCoins instantly drew the surprised gaze of all the treasure hunters.
Unlike the old hunters like Matt and Emilia, the triplets were newcomers who had only attended a few auctions.
Not many rookie treasure hunters dared to raise the bid by so much in one go.
Matt shot a hateful glare at the triplets, cursing under his breath, "You damned fools, you really want to compete with me?"
"You think you’re brave? Keep going then, I bid 70,000 StellarCoins!"
The treasure hunters gasped in shock.
Brutal!
Too brutal!
Do these people see StellarCoins as dirt on the ground?
They’re really treating money like it’s nothing!
Matt’s bid instantly darkened the triplet brothers’ faces.
70,000 StellarCoins was their limit, yet Matt had shot straight up to that price.
The youngest looked lost, "What do we do now, should we give up?"
The second brother forced a bitter smile, sighing, "Seems like that’s our only choice."
At this moment, however, the eldest confidently said, "No, we’ll keep going. I don’t believe for a second that this old man Matt, after losing so much, would dare to keep jacking up the price sky-high!"
Having said that, the eldest brother raised his hand to bid, "75,000 StellarCoins."
He chose to be slightly conservative and reduced the bid increment.
Matt sneered, "Why only add 5,000 StellarCoins? Are you scared?"
The youngest brother, indignant, flipped Matt off and spat out, "Screw you, squid! What’s it to you? If you have the guts, keep bidding."
Matt instantly replied, "85,000 StellarCoins!" After saying that, he even gave a provocative look to the youngest brother.
The youngest, face darkened, turned to his oldest brother, "Should we continue to raise the bid?"
The eldest brother frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head.
Matt was ready to risk everything to get these two containers, and they didn’t need to play this game with such a troublemaker.
The triplet brothers chose to back down.
Then they had to endure Matt’s continuous taunting, which made the youngest brother’s face turn red, suppressing his inner fury.
Seeing that nobody seemed willing to raise the price, Matt turned to Robert and urged, "Robert, why don’t you announce the result?"
Robert scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on Daniel.
Before he could speak, he saw Daniel confidently smiling, stretching out one finger, "I bid, 100,000 StellarCoins!"
The joy on Matt’s face gradually hardened.
It was Daniel again!
Just as he was about to snatch the prize, it was snatched away again.
Especially since it was Daniel who had previously slipped through his fingers, which made Matt tremble with anger, his teeth chattering non-stop.
Barely containing his anger, Matt asked, "Daniel, what are you up to this time?"
Daniel shrugged nonchalantly, "Just placing a regular bid."
Regular my ass!
Matt cursed inwardly, while trying to guess Daniel’s intention.
Was this guy truly interested in this container, or was he just trying to mess with him again?
His eyes darted over Daniel’s face, trying to read his thoughts.
But seeing Daniel’s tranquil expression, he gave up in the end.
Nevertheless, Matt steeled himself and raised the bid again, "110,000 StellarCoins!"
No matter what you’re thinking, I’m definitely winning these two containers today!
Daniel looked at Matt, eyes full of surprise.
He didn’t know whether to call this guy brave or brainless.
The surface value of the container was only around 50,000, and even if they were betting on the treasures inside those two safes, a bid of 70,000 would have been the limit.
But Matt had stubbornly raised the price to 110,000.
Daniel didn’t believe that Matt had known all along that the container was full of treasures.
Either way, with Matt in the picture, casually snatching this container was no longer realistic.
But Daniel wasn’t about to give up, he was brimming with confidence, knowing that no one in the auction room had deeper pockets than him.
Even if he had to throw money at it, he was going to get this container!
"120,000 StellarCoins!" Daniel made his bid.
Matt gritted his teeth and shouted, "130,000 StellarCoins!"
Daniel calmly raised his hand and said, "140,000 StellarCoins."
Cold sweat started trickling down Matt’s forehead. After a hard swallow, he shouted, "150,000 StellarCoins!"
Daniel responded calmly, "160,000 StellarCoins."
Their back-and-forth with an unwavering increment of 10,000 had the other treasure hunters stunned.
How much did 10,000 StellarCoins mean to these two? Did it mean nothing?
Especially Daniel, his composed and joyful demeanor while bidding gave the impression that he was merely throwing around numbers, not money.
What does a rich person look like?
This is what a rich person looks like!
Back in Daniel’s live stream, the viewers were equally astonished.
"OMG, are these two billionaires or something?"

"Hey new guy, our streamer is indeed a billionaire!"
"But the way they’re bidding is too aggressive, it’s the Container Hunt Auction, not an antique auction!"
"Indeed, it’s our first time seeing this too."
"Anyway, it’s so satisfying to watch, as if I’m the one bidding."
"But is the container really worth that much?"
"Duh, Daniel is just like before, not really after the container, just trying to trip up Matt."
In no time, the two had driven up the prices. Daniel bid 250,000.
Matt, with bloodshot eyes, was about to raise again when Emilia stopped him. "Matt, have you lost your mind? The container is not worth this much!"
Wilson voiced his doubts as well, "There might not be cash or anything valuable in those safes, it’s a huge risk to wager more than 200k. If you insist on going on, I choose to end our partnership."
Emilia added, "Me too, I will terminate our collaboration."
They had trusted Matt because he was rational.
But now, he was just head-to-head with Daniel, seeing red, with no rationality left.
If they didn’t stop him now, who knows what shocking bid he might make next.
They were all in this together!
But Matt didn’t care, he blurted, "Even if you terminate our partnership, I must get this container!"
"I’ve said it before, Daniel can’t profit at my expense, not even once!"
With that, he turned back to continue the bidding war, "300,000 StellarCoins!"
Raising the bid by 50,000 in one go, Matt had completely lost his mind.
Emilia and Wilson shared a glance, shrugged, and withdrew into the crowd.
Their collaboration had come to an end.
Robert was exhilarated.
Who could have imagined that a container full of cheap art could fetch such a high price?
He didn’t know exactly what was in the safes, but he was certain it was not anything valuable!
Yet, here they were, bidding at 300k.
Matt truly lived up to his reputation as the troublemaker of the auction.
Any container could be sold at a high price with him around!
What a profitable day!
With excitement, Robert turned to Daniel, "Matt has bid 300,000 StellarCoins, Daniel, will you continue to raise the bid?"
Daniel thought for a moment, then raised five fingers, "I bid 500,000 StellarCoins."
His reasoning was simple.
Matt was already desperate.
Continually escalating the bid would be useless.
So, why not just raise it all at once?
A container worth 1 billion StellarCoins, he had to get it at all costs.
He was going to knock some sense into Matt with his wealth!
