Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 40 - -One hundred Coins! Royal Jade Liquor Pot!(2rd update, Cheer me with more Power Stones!)
A million followers!
Daniel couldn’t help but feel a little thrilled. It wouldn’t be long before he could make a fortune just from live streaming to his followers.
In the livestream chat, several viewers asked.
"Streamer, were you really taken to Area 51 yesterday?"
"What happened exactly, Frankie Martin personally confirmed that the severed finger was of non-Earth origin, how did it turn into a man-made model today?"
"Was it all a setup by the streamer just for clout, hiring those people to act?"
Daniel didn’t know how to explain: "Follow the official announcement, just think of it as a little interlude, don’t ask anymore."
The viewers had a sudden realization.
"I see, it’s a ’read between the lines’ situation!"
"So, it’s true, the streamer is badass!"
Daniel hurriedly said, "I didn’t say it’s true!"
He didn’t want to have to post an apology statement in the middle of the night.
However, the viewers kept saying, "We get it, we all get it."
Daniel was speechless, he knew people wouldn’t easily believe in such things.
So, he chose to ignore related comments.
"Streamer, can you really find hidden gems in places like this?"
"We still prefer watching the port auctions."
"Absolutely."
Daniel laughed helplessly: "Can’t help it, there are no auctions at the port today, we’ll go there tomorrow."
"Streamer, aren’t there other ports to go to?"
"As far as I know, Port Newland which is not far from Golden Shores City is also one of the major ports in Libertopia, not much smaller than Golden Shores Port."
"Excuse me? Your so-called ’not far’ is a difference of more than a thousand kilometers, almost across the whole of Libertopia!"
"The streamer is rich, a plane would get there in just over an hour. For the sake of the show, what’s a little money?"
"You make it sound so easy, why don’t you go fly and livestream?"
Seeing that the viewers were about to argue, Daniel quickly said, "There’s no need to argue, guys. The port in New York is quite far after all, we will definitely visit it when we have a chance. For now, let’s stick to participating in auctions at Golden Shores Port and visit the antique market during our free time, it’s quite fun to find hidden gems here."
"Look, there are plenty of good stuff on this stall!" Daniel’s eyes lit up and he headed straight to a stall on his left.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man, his suntanned skin indicated he was from the south.
Seeing Daniel squatting down, the man instantly greeted with a smile, "Young man, take a look, all good stuff here."
There were various bottles and jars on the stall, all seemed like antiques.
But with a glance, Daniel could tell, many were fakes.
Thanks to the skills he earned from the system, he could authenticate these items on his own without relying on the system.
Daniel casually picked up a jar, a western continent bone china jar, which turned out to be genuine, with a history of over two hundred years.
It had a typical western style, adorned with a painting of a voluptuous nude woman, looking quite beautiful.
Daniel asked, "How much for this?"
The man held up five fingers, "Five thousand StellarCoins."
This price seemed reasonable.
A bone china jar over two hundred years old, could sell for about that, and collectors would buy such an item.
But Daniel was a treasure hunter looking for profits.
Seeing no margin, he gently put it back.
Daniel then picked up a plate, similarly decorated with a painting of a woman, but clearly a modern artifact.
"How much for this?"
The man held up his hand, "Three thousand."
Daniel seized the opportunity and shook his head, "Nice craftsmanship, spray painting, clearly modern-made, it won’t sell for that price."
The man was taken aback, didn’t expect a pro, and quickly changed his offer, "Three hundred StellarCoins."
Daniel chuckled, "I wouldn’t even take it for thirty. How much for this?"
He was holding a jade liquor pot, with delicate craftsmanship and intricate patterns.
Thinking of Daniel’s discerning eye, the man didn’t dare to quote a high price for a fake item, so he said, "One hundred StellarCoins, take it directly."
Daniel decisively pulled out a hundred-coin bill, "I’ll take it."
The man took the money with a satisfied smile.
He thought of his glass bottle bought for ten StellarCoins, selling for a high price of a hundred dollars.
Out of happiness, he even gave Daniel a packaging box.
Daniel put the pot into the box, made sure it wouldn’t get knocked, picked it up and walked ahead.

The viewers was a bit puzzled.
"Streamer, you spent a hundred dollars on this?"
"You could get it in a supermarket for a few bucks."
"Lost a hundred dollars at the start, streamer, seems like your authentication skills are not so good."
Daniel laughed, "If I tell you this liquor pot is a real jade pot, and it’s about five hundred years old, would you think I’m bluffing?"
"Impossible!"
"The stall owner sells genuine goods for genuine prices, he’s obviously skilled, if this liquor pot was real, how could he not know?"
"Streamer, you’re trying to make the show interesting, but we’re not that easy to fool!"
Daniel said, "Don’t rush, let me explain slowly."
"This little liquor pot is made of jade material with impurities, obvious lines, not top-notch material, if viewed as a modern artifact, it’s worth at most eight to ten thousand StellarCoins, but considering its historical value, it’s worth at least a hundred thousand!"
The viewers didn’t believe it. "A hundred thousand? Impossible!"
"Streamer, you’re definitely pulling our leg!"
Daniel chuckled and pulled out his phone, "Just wait and see. I’ll call an expert for you."
Upon connecting the call, he promptly said, "Got a gem here, museum-grade, in the antique market." Just one sentence, and he hung up.
Daniel added, "Just wait, he’ll be here shortly. Then I’ll reveal the secret to you."
The viewers were growing curious.
Who was this person Daniel called?
While waiting, Daniel made a few rounds at nearby stalls but found nothing worth picking up.
There was a reason why this antique market was not crowded.
In no time, the person Daniel called arrived.
"Daniel, where’s the item?" Stephen Johnson rushed over and immediately asked.
The viewers were taken aback.
"Holy crap, it’s him!"
"The deputy director of the National Museum, the guy who bought the misprinted coin from the streamer last time!"
"Damn, streamer’s got connections! The deputy director of the National Museum comes when called!"
Daniel pointed to the box on the table, "It’s in there, take a look."
Stephen Johnson opened it and upon seeing the pot lying in the box, he was startled.
He examined it for a moment, and his eyes immediately showed surprise.
"Is this... a liquor pot from the royal family of country Y?"
Indeed, this old fellow, being a deputy director, had quite the discerning eye.
Daniel nodded, "From the pattern, it should be from the Tudor dynasty period, and the pattern is feminine, so it’s very likely it was a queen’s personal liquor pot."
Stephen Johnson was even more astounded, "The jade pot is shiny and hard, very similar to the jade artifacts from the Ming Dynasty during Serenalia."
Jade artifacts are not highly valued in the western continent, hence their value isn’t high.
But if this little liquor pot was really used by the queen, its value would increase exponentially, far exceeding a hundred thousand StellarCoins.
Stephen Johnson added, "If it was used by Queen Elizabeth, the price would be even higher."
Daniel was well aware of this, so he asked, "Can you authenticate it?"
Stephen Johnson looked troubled, "I need to consult some ancient texts. After all, no one can guarantee such things."
"But as far as I can see, it’s worth well over a hundred thousand." The livestream room was buzzing with shock.
"What the hell?"
"This is worth a hundred thousand?"
"Didn’t you hear what Stephen Johnson said? If it’s confirmed that Elizabeth used it, the price could double!"
"Damn, this is the liquor pot bought for a hundred bucks?"
"Streamer is incredible, we are in complete awe of his authentication skills!"
They all thought that the good item Daniel was talking about was another coin or something, but it turned out to be a jade pot, and a royal one from country Y at that.
Stephen Johnson couldn’t help asking, "How much did you pay for this item?"
Daniel replied, "One hundred."
Stephen Johnson was stunned, "StellarCoins?"
Daniel retorted sarcastically, "Would they use another currency in Libertopia?"
Stephen Johnson was utterly speechless, "How come you always stumble upon such gems? Are you the illegitimate son of the goddess of luck?"
The viewers sang praises, "Can’t argue with that!"
"Streamer’s luck is always insanely good!"
