Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over

Chapter 32: Chapter32-The Master Appraiser! The Second Round of Bidding!

Even though they didn't know what Daniel meant, Abel and Allen obediently followed him to open the container.

Soon, all the goods inside the container were unloaded and laid out before everyone's eyes.

Just as expected, there were all-new cardboard boxes with no labels.

Some treasure hunters started to discuss.

"This stuff looks like no-name products. Could they be products manufactured by Habin?"

"No Habin logo, suspicious."

"One hundred and thirty thousand StellaCoins for this batch of fishing gear with no known brand, they're going to take a big loss."

"It seems Daniel's good luck has finally run out."

Daniel didn't care about what they said.

He randomly opened a box, which indeed contained brand new fishing gear, and the fishing rod even had a logo printed on it.

Allen leaned in and immediately recognized it: "It's Habin's logo!"

Hearing this, the treasure hunters were taken aback.

A basic Habin fishing rod would sell for 45 StellaCoins in stores.

This batch contained 6,300 rods, meaning…

"A value of 280,000?!"

Some treasure hunters quickly caught on.

The number echoed in the crowd like a bomb going off.

Holy smokes, a clean profit of 150,000?!

Daniel continued to rummage through the boxes.

Given that all the goods were fishing gear, it must mean that the gears varied in quality.

Otherwise, the system wouldn't have identified an extra 100,000 in market value.

Abel and Allen watched Daniel, puzzled.

"Dan, what exactly are you looking for?"

While searching, Daniel replied, "Money! Open all these boxes."

His tone left no room for doubt.

Abel and Allen could only do as they were told.

Soon, Daniel opened a box, revealing fishing gear with a golden pattern.

A smile spread across his face, "As expected, found it!"

Abel and Allen quickly gathered around.

Seeing the extraordinary fishing gear in Daniel's hands, they were quite astonished.

"What is this?" Allen asked, a bit puzzled, reaching out to touch it.

Abel quickly slapped his hand away, "Don't touch! If you damage it, it won't be worth anything!"

"Could this be… gold-plated?"

Daniel nodded.

He had already had the system appraise it.

Just this one piece of fishing gear, with its one hundred grams of gold pattern, was worth 10,000 StellaCoins!

The extra 100,000 in market value came from this piece!

He quickly said, "Keep looking, there should be more!"

Hearing this, Abel and Allen sprung into action.

If they were previously moving out of respect for Daniel, now they were fully driven by their inner voices.

This was like a treasure hunt, who the hell wouldn't be enthusiastic?

Soon, all the special fishing gear with the golden patterns were found.

A total of ten, all laid out before everyone's eyes.

Durant took a look at the fishing gear and then gave Daniel an odd look, "Dan, I seriously suspect you have some sort of special ability."

"Such special merchandise has never appeared before. Since you started attending the auction, they've started showing up and you've caught them all."

This statement was unanimously agreed by Abel and Allen, both of them asked curiously, "Dan, even the guys at Habin didn't know about these goods. How did you know?"

"After all, you were quite certain there was something fishy about this batch."

Faced with such a question, Daniel was stumped.

What should he answer?

He couldn't exactly say he had a special system that allowed him to see the exceptional value of the batch, could he?

Faced with their probing gaze, Daniel quickly made up an excuse, "I guessed. Unmarked goods like these are probably custom-made, and in such cases, there is a high chance of special products."

"The reason why Allen's friend didn't know about these special gold rods, I think, is that the owner of the goods probably had them gold-plated after receiving them."

This explanation seemed plausible enough.

At least Abel and Allen were both very convinced, "So that's how it is, Dan. You truly are a master appraiser!"

"Even this kind of situation you can think of, we're totally impressed," the two brothers said.

Daniel laughed heartily and urged the two to call someone to handle these goods.

Among the crowd, Wilson, Emilia, and other veteran treasure hunters watched Abel and Allen with complex expressions.

A single auction netting over 200,000 in profit.

Before this, if they could earn 10,000 or 20,000 from an auction, they'd already be laughing all the way to the bank.

But since Daniel appeared, profits started at 100,000!

It was mind-blowing.

They all regretted not building a good relationship with Daniel, like Abel and Allen did.

If they had, they could be the ones profiting from this lot!

But alas, there's no use crying over spilled milk.

All the treasure hunters sighed, only able to watch Abel and Allen who were cheering and jumping for joy, silently green with envy.

Soon, the second round of the auction started.

After the warm-up of the first auction round, especially when Abel and Allen sold the fishing gear on the spot.

Money and goods exchanged hands, the sight of them counting so much money that their hands were cramping, all seen by the crowd.

It instantly created a vibe of imbalance.

Why could they be so happy?

Why couldn't I earn that money?

The containers in this round of auctions must be won!

Looking at Abel and Allen's incessant smiles, Daniel was sweating buckets.

Especially when he noticed several hostile glances from the crowd, he was a bit jittery.

It wasn't that he was scared, but these fellas all had guns tucked in their jackets!

Those obvious gun holsters, they were only a step away from pulling out their guns, firing a few shots, and declaring a robbery.

Daniel cursed inwardly, wishing he had bought a bulletproof vest for this kind of situation!

He looked at the two men, and finally couldn't help but say, "Guys, can we keep a low profile for now? There are a bunch of wolves eyeing us right now."

Abel turned his head, glanced at the crowd below, and intentionally puffed out his chest.

It was then that Daniel noticed that Abel had a silver pistol tucked on each side of his open jacket.

Holy crap, he was a wolf, too.

Allen seemed completely unconcerned.

He picked up a few bundles of cash from the box, intending to give them to Daniel, "Dan, this is your appraisal fee."

Daniel, red-faced, said, "Could you hold on to this for me? I don't have pockets big enough to carry all of that."

Allen laughed, and only then did he put the money back into the suitcase.

Daniel was speechless.

These two brothers were really something else.

At that moment, Robert, with files in hand, walked onto the stage again.

"Sorry for the wait, everyone. The next container comes from Stetbon in the southern continent."

"Like the others, it has been unclaimed for a long time, and by law, it's up for public auction."

"Same rules as before, observation first!"

Robert stepped aside after finishing, and two staff members came up to cut the lock and open the container door before hastily leaving.

When the contents of the container were revealed to everyone, there was an immediate stir.

"Is this... a mining machine?"

"Looks like a small washing machine."

"A washing machine from Stetbon, that's interesting."

"Do you guys figure out what this thing is?"

At the back of the crowd, Daniel, Abel, and Allen were still staring at the big screen.

Scratching his head, Allen looked blankly at Abel, "Bro, can you tell what these machines are?"

Abel shook his head, turning to Daniel, "Dan, any ideas?"

Daniel immediately opened his mouth, "You guys know about Stetbon?"

Allen shook his head.

But Abel said, "A small country in the southern continent, Stetbon is the only city. I heard it's rich in gold."

Daniel nodded, "Exactly. Stetbon has a gold deposit ranked fifth in the world for gold content."

Frowning, Allen asked, "Don't tell me these machines, which aren't even as tall as a person, are mining machines."

Daniel smiled, "No, they're not. They're washing machines."

"They're used for mechanical gold panning in rivers, which is many times more efficient than panning gold manually."

Hearing this, Allen's eyes widened, "So, you're saying these grimy machines are just retired from the gold panning frontlines!"

Daniel nodded, "Quite likely."

Allen became excited instantly, "Oh my gosh, if these machines still have residual gold in them, even if it's just a few grams, it's not a small sum with so many machines!"

Um...

Daniel laughed helplessly, speechless, "It's not impossible, but the chance is very small!"
