Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 43 - -Meeting Rachel Again, Caught Cheating?(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Daniel was not worried about his marksmanship.
As long as he made enough system buybacks, he could definitely earn a technical reward to improve it.
He asked for a bag from a stall next to him and put all the stone fragments into it.
After leaving The Antique Market, he went straight back to his car.
He was still very interested in these fragments depicting the insights of humans from eighty thousand years ago.
After saying goodbye to his livestream viewers, he turned off the broadcast.
He placed all the stone fragments on the back seat of the car, arranging them according to their patterns.
Soon, a picture appeared before Daniel’s eyes.
As he had seen before, the picture depicted two different forms of life engaged in a fierce battle.
The creature on the left resembled a dinosaur but looked even more terrifying, with a crescent-shaped skull that was incredibly large.
Its mouth, gaping open from the front to the back of its head.

The creature on the right was a biped with four limbs.
It looked humanoid, but its body was covered in scales, and it had sharp teeth and a beak on its head.
Each hand held a short blade, and it didn’t seem like a friendly creature.
What on earth was this?
Daniel was puzzled.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like an Earth creature.
But the system’s identification indeed indicated that the picture was indeed drawn by humans.
Could it be that these two kinds of creatures really existed on Earth during the Old Stone Age eighty thousand years ago?
Daniel was filled with doubt.
He decided to buyback this stone tablet to the system.
"Ancient stone age mural detected. Buyback?"
Daniel responded, "Buyback."
The next second, he received a text message about the balance change in his bank account.
"Your balance is 171,200,125.86 StellarCoins."
Adding the twenty million for the mural buyback, his net worth now stood at 170 million!
This figure was far less than the world’s top billionaires, but it was still an unreachable existence in the eyes of ordinary people!
Daniel couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Just over a week ago, he was a penniless pauper.
In just a few days, he had transformed into a billionaire.
Life really was unpredictable!
Smiling, he turned his attention to the buyback rewards given by the system.
[Awarded Old Stone Age artifact identification technology!]
[Awarded one high-strength alloy wrist-curved blade!]
There were only these two awards.
The Old Stone Age artifact identification technology was pretty much useless.
There weren’t many objects from that era with collectible value, apart from those in national museums, and few collectors would be interested.
Still, it was better than nothing.
The high-strength alloy wrist-curved blade was a reward that really caught Daniel off guard.
Looking at the half-meter curved blade that appeared out of thin air in his hand, he fell silent.
What’s the point of this thing?
Its length is too excessive, not as convenient as a dagger.
This size is too noticeable, and in this era of firearms, who the hell would carry a big blade around every day?
Are they nuts?!
Daniel’s final verdict was that it was completely useless.
With twenty million StellarCoins in the bank, rewards didn’t matter much anyway.
He tossed the curved blade onto the back seat and drove away from the The Antique Market.
His next stop was the coffee shop in Central Park.
He hadn’t tasted their coffee for several days, and he was starting to miss it.
Soon, Daniel parked his car in front of the coffee shop and was just about to push the door open when he heard someone calling his name.
"Daniel!"
He turned around to see Rachel approaching.
Daniel was somewhat surprised, "What a coincidence, running into you here."
Rachel today was wearing a white blouse paired with black wide-leg trousers, quite elegant.
She had left three buttons of her blouse open, revealing the skin around her collarbone, subtly adding to her allure.
Rachel smiled gently, "Yes, I just got off work and was about to go home, didn’t expect to see you here."
Daniel was taken aback, "You live here?"
Rachel pointed to a building not far away, "Right over there, 703."
Daniel shook his head, pointing to the building above the coffee shop and said with a laugh, "That’s a shame. I’ve lived above here for two years and I’ve never seen you."
Rachel pouted, "Isn’t it possible that we’ve actually brushed past each other countless times, but you’ve just never noticed me?"
Daniel immediately replied, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"A charming girl like you, I’d remember at first sight."
These words made Rachel blush and she glared at him, "Sweet talker."
"But I quite like it."
Wow! Looks like there’s a chance.
What a pity that he hadn’t met this prime beauty earlier, otherwise he could have had a taste already.
Now all he could do was look on with regret.
Daniel sighed inwardly, gestured to the coffee shop, "Want to grab a coffee together?"
Rachel, however, suggested directly, "Since we’ve finally run into each other, how about we go have a drink together?"
Invited by a beauty, how could he refuse?
Daniel nodded, and very gentlemanly opened the car door for Rachel.
After she got in, he gently closed the door and went around to the other side to get into the car.
Starting the car, he headed towards the nearest bar, the old Wilson’s Bar he often visited.
Upon seeing Daniel, John, the bar owner and bartender, was somewhat surprised, "Daniel, where have you been making your fortune? Haven’t seen you around for a while."
Daniel chuckled, "Making a fortune? I’m just killing time."
"Two Martinis, the usual."
John skillfully began to prepare the drinks, and said, "Who are you kidding? I’ve seen your car. You can’t get one of those without a few hundred grand."
In the corner of the bar, there was a monitor.
Daniel had spotted it when he parked.
Though he didn’t intend to show off, he could only shrug and say, "Got lucky. Won a container at the harbor auction. The stuff inside turned out to be pretty valuable, made a small fortune."
On hearing this, John nodded in understanding.
He envied Daniel’s luck but didn’t dwell on it too much.
In his view, Daniel just got lucky this time.
Luck is a finite resource - once you’ve used up your share, that’s it.
There’s no point in being jealous.
Soon, two Martinis were pushed in front of Daniel and Rachel.
On seeing Rachel, John’s mouth curved up into a mischievous smile, "You sly dog, quite the lady-killer, aren’t you? The lady you brought along this time is just as stunning as the last."
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Daniel quickly replied, "Cut it out, John, and take care of your other customers."
Overhearing this, Rachel, pretending to be calm, teased, "Seems like the lady you brought here last time must have been quite something, huh?"
With an awkward laugh, Daniel answered, "The one I brought here last time was my girlfriend, Sophia. I’ll introduce you two sometime."
On hearing the words "my girlfriend", the smile on Rachel’s face froze for a moment.
But she quickly recovered, though a sense of disappointment was apparent in her eyes.
She emptied her glass in one gulp and then pushed it towards John, "Hey darling, hit me with another one."
John took the glass, shooting Daniel a strange look, "Man, how can you mention your girlfriend in front of the lady you’re with? Do you even know how to flirt?"
Daniel took a sip of his drink, noticing that Rachel didn’t seem to be listening.
He lowered his voice and confessed, "To be honest, I really want to make a move on her, no, I mean I want her so bad that she calls me daddy. But I have a girlfriend, and acting on these thoughts wouldn’t be good for anyone."
Hearing this, John gave Daniel a thumbs-up, "You sure are a man of principles."
As they were talking, another Martini was prepared for Rachel and Daniel’s glass was refilled.
At this point, Rachel, acting as if nothing had happened, clinked her glass with Daniel’s and downed her drink.
Daniel knew his earlier words had upset Rachel somewhat, so he felt obligated to join her.
Just then, his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, he immediately answered, "Hello, darling, missing me already?"
On the other end of the line was Sophia, "Hmph, you big bad wolf, what are you up to?"
"I’m at the bar having a drink with a friend, the same place where we used to drink."
Sophia asked again, "Is the friend a boy or a girl?"
Without hiding anything, Daniel said, "A female friend."
Sophia seemed satisfied, "At least you’re honest, look behind you."
Then she hung up.
Daniel had a hunch, quickly turned around, and his face lit up instantly.
There was Sophia, walking in through the bar’s entrance.
She didn’t make much fuss and simply sat next to Rachel.
"Hello, I’m Sophia, Daniel’s girlfriend."
Rachel seemed a bit flustered as she extended her hand, "Hello, I’m Rachel. Don’t get me wrong, I just happened to run into Daniel and we came here for a couple of drinks."
Sophia smiled faintly, "It’s all good even if something’s going on between you two. You’re pretty and have a great figure. I’d be glad if you were involved with him, so we could become best friends!"
"Really?" Daniel’s face registered surprise, as Sophia seemed to be utterly sincere with no hint of deceit in her voice.
Being a cop, Rachel was naturally perceptive and a thought struck her.
Could Daniel’s girlfriend be a sex freak?
Into threesomes?
