Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 48 - -The Black Ancient Book, Necronomicon!（1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）
Most of the treasure hunters shook their heads in disappointment.
"Seems like glassware, perhaps cups. The glass thickness is good, the material and craftsmanship seem decent. If they were intact, this batch might reach 30,000, or even 40,000. It’s a pity that so much is broken."
Matt sneered, "This is what treasure hunting is all about. If all we had were normal goods to buy, could we still call ourselves treasure hunters?"
Emilia flashed a coy smile, "Matt, you always seek thrills. Do you see any value in bidding for these goods?"
Matt shrugged carelessly, "The boxes inside don’t seem to have been overturned, they might be undamaged. If we can get them for under 10,000 StellarCoins, there could still be a profit."
Emilia nodded, "That’s what I was thinking, too. Every little bit counts, so why not give it a try."
Seeing the scene inside the container, Robert’s face turned sour.
These treasure hunters are sharp, no one would buy this junk.
Just as it seemed this container would go unsold, a bid came in unexpectedly.
Emilia raised her hand and shouted, "Five thousand StellarCoins!"
Matt’s face subtly changed.
That cunning woman, having scoped out the situation, had made a bid.
Her starting price was so high, it was clear she intended to bag this heap of junk.
Matt quickly followed up, "Six thousand StellarCoins!"
Robert immediately perked up.
These things were actually getting bids.
"Emilia and Matt, worthy of being experienced treasure hunters."

"They always had unique perspectives, I wonder if they see some hidden value in this batch."
"The highest bid now is six thousand StellarCoins, any more bids?"
Robert was indeed a professional auction host.
With a few words, he had ignited the vibe!
With the experienced treasure hunters leading, the newcomers felt compelled to follow with bids.
"6,500 StellarCoins!"
"7,000 StellarCoins!"
"8,500 StellarCoins!"
Wilson had the highest bid.
He stood not far from Matt and Emilia, heard their conversation, and felt Matt had some good points.
Damn it!
Matt looked back to see Wilson not far away and realized this.
He thought no one would compete for a container of this grade, so he had been candid with Emilia.
He never expected these people to be so accommodating.
Trusting his own judgment, they kept bidding.
If this continued, the price would just inflate.
With that thought, Matt gritted his teeth and yelled, "10,000 StellarCoins!"
This price was his bottom line.
The others also understood that once the price exceeded this, Matt, this competitor, would definitely not bid again.
Unexpectedly, Emilia suddenly followed up, "12,000 StellarCoins!"
Everyone hesitated.
Daniel was also stunned.
12,000 StellarCoins, to buy this pile of broken glassware.
Was this a bit of a gamble?
His gaze naturally fell on the contents of the container.
The scattered glass shards were of no value, but the sealed boxes inside might have some worth.
[Item]: Cardboard Box
[Age]: Modern
[Condition]: Average
[Details]: Filled with various quality glassware.
[Appraisal]: Common commodity, no added value.
[Market Price]: 800 StellarCoins
[Buyback Price]: 500 StellarCoins
Daniel counted about ten boxes like this in the container.
In other words, the remaining value of the container was at most 8000 StellarCoins. Yet, Emilia’s bid had already hit 12,000 StellarCoins.
She was clearly taking a huge loss!
Learning from previous experience, Sophia leaned in and whispered in Daniel’s ear, "Are these things really worth this much?"
Daniel shook his head, "At most, they’re worth eight thousand StellarCoins."
Sophia was surprised, "So they’re all at a loss then? Aren’t you going to tell them?"
Daniel couldn’t help but laugh, "This is an auction, we’re all competitors here. Why would I tell them?"
Bidding is always like this, everyone hopes the others take a loss.
Moreover, neither Matt nor Emilia had any particular relationship with Daniel.
And someone like Matt, a notorious troublemaker, had more than once intentionally raised the price of containers Daniel wanted.
He certainly wasn’t going to play the good Samaritan and stop their bidding.
Seeing the price being driven up multiple times, Allen felt a bit itchy, "Bro, are you sure we shouldn’t bid?"
"They’re fighting so hard for it, maybe they’ve found some clues that Dan hasn’t."
Abel gave Daniel a casual look and gently shook his head, "I trust Dan, he wouldn’t have missed anything."
Not for anything else, just because Daniel had been raking in big profits since the start of the auction, he absolutely trusted him unconditionally.
Daniel easily caught their conversation.
He walked up to the brothers and whispered, "The stuff in these boxes is worth at most 8,000, believe it or not. Even if you guys bid, don’t go too high, then the loss won’t be too much."
With that said, if the brothers trusted him, he didn’t need to say more.
After all, they couldn’t lose much on this pile of broken glass.
Hearing Daniel’s words, Abel became even more resolute.
Without hesitation, he declared firmly, "We listen to Dan, no bid!"
Matt glared fiercely at Emilia.
That damn woman, so decisive.
12,000 StellarCoins, that was way beyond his expectations.
Even if all the glasses in the remaining boxes were intact, it’s still unlikely to be worth that much.
With that in mind, Matt had to give up the idea of bidding.
The other treasure hunters had long stopped bidding.
Seeing this, Emilia began to celebrate immediately, "Robert, don’t waste time, announce the results quickly!"
Robert glanced at everyone, confirming that no one else would bid, he announced loudly, "Congratulations Emilia, you’ve won this container! Now, let’s all turn our attention here and see how much Emilia can earn!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the items in the container were cleared out.
Daniel was a bit surprised, there were not ten intact boxes as he had expected, but thirteen.
Although three more boxes made a difference of two to three thousand StellarCoins, it was not a significant change.
Looking at Emilia dancing with joy, Matt couldn’t help but sneer, "With a price of twelve thousand, I hope your loss won’t be too big."
Emilia dismissed it with a wave of her hand, "Matt, why do you think I raised the price? If the boxes not only contain glassware but also glass crafts, lampshades, and other glass products, how much do you think these boxes would be worth?"
Matt’s face darkened.
The glass shards on the ground did show some traces of glass cups, but no one could guarantee there were no glass crafts inside, which would be much more valuable than glasses.
Seeing Matt’s face, Emilia laughed even harder, "Don’t worry Matt, when I make a killing from this batch, I’ll get you three strippers to cool your jets."
Daniel, who was overhearing from a distance, almost laughed out loud.
Glass crafts?
Expecting a big profit?
Dreams are beautiful, reality is harsh.
She was being so cocky without even opening the boxes, wouldn’t she have nowhere to cry if she found nothing but fragments when she did?
Emilia, excited, opened the boxes.
The next second, her beaming smile froze on her face.
There were no glass crafts in the box, not even glass cups.
All there was were heaps of shattered glass pieces.
What the heck?!
Instantly, Emilia’s heart sank.
She hurriedly opened the next box, thankfully, this one contained a batch of intact glass cups.
Durant glanced at it and said, "They’re worth around six to eight hundred, the exact value needs to be confirmed."
Eight hundred, not even enough for petty cash!
With a dark face, Emilia continued to open the next box.
Brand new glass cups.
And the same for another ten boxes.
Durant said, "Twelve boxes of glass cups, they’re worth around 7,200 to 9,600 StellarCoins."
She took a loss!
Emilia was completely devoid of the joy she had moments ago.
Behind her, Matt started to laugh, "Emilia, looks like that’s all your discerning eye amounts to."
Emilia shot Matt a glare, not bothering to engage him, and kept her eyes on the goods on the ground.
In addition to these intact glass cups and some glass fragments, there were some miscellaneous books that were cleaned out of the container.
She picked them up for a look, all were incomprehensible old books.
They didn’t seem to hold any value.
Daniel was casually chatting with Sophia and Rachel, his eyes landed on the black book in Emilia’s hand.
His eyes suddenly lit up, "Necronomicon?"
