Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 49 - -The Priceless Treasure, the Forbidden Book!(2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Emilia held the black book, unable to understand a single strange character on it.
"Durant, what are these?"
Durant casually glanced at it, immediately sparking his interest.
He leaned in, taking the black book for a closer look.
His brows furrowed, seemingly having a hard time.
After a while, he took a deep breath, "These characters seem to be from an ancient cultural period of a country in the Southern Continent, I can’t read it, so it’s hard to determine."
Hearing this, Emilia perked up, "Is this book an antique?"
Unexpectedly, Durant shook his head, "Although the text is ancient, the book is well-preserved without any signs of aging, it looks just like new."
"It’s probably a modern imitation, not very valuable."
Hearing this, Emilia lost interest.
Low value meant worthless junk to her.
She was about to toss it aside for later processing when Daniel approached.
With a curious look, he asked, "May I have a look?"
Emilia tossed it over nonchalantly.
Daniel caught it and started flipping through.
What appeared before his eyes was the system-given appraisal result.
[Age]: 3000 years old
[Condition]: Well preserved
[Details]: Records the Warith tribe’s Dark Spells, contains sealed immense magical power.
[Appraisal]: Highly researchable (Strongly recommended to keep!)
[Market Price]: Priceless!
[Buyback Price]: 1 StellarCoin (Unable to estimate value).
What the fuck?!
Priceless, and the buyback price is just one StellarCoin?
Daniel was somewhat stunned.
But looking at the system-given detailed appraisal, it was even more outrageous.
These indecipherable symbols and texts were actually Dark Spells.
What did that mean?
Could it be that chanting these words would release spells?
That’s too far-fetched, isn’t it?
Alien remains and cultivation manuals, those he could still understand.
But what the hell were magic spells?
Wasn’t this supposed to be a world of science?
Daniel suddenly found himself questioning life.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand these characters either, so there was no way to verify their authenticity.
The reason he believed it was his unconditional trust in the system.
Seeing Daniel holding the book and spacing out for a long time, Durant couldn’t help but ask, "Dan, can you read these characters?" Emilia’s gaze also shifted over.
Suddenly, Daniel snapped back to reality and quickly shook his head, "I can’t understand these characters at all, I was just curious."
Saying this, he handed the book back to Emilia.
Hearing Daniel’s words, Emilia was visibly disappointed.
She was merely curious, too, after all Durant had appraised the book as a modern craft.
At most it was worth a few bucks, nothing worth researching.
With that thought, she pushed the book back to Daniel.
Daniel paused, "What do you mean?"
Emilia said indifferently, "You like it, don’t you? It’s yours."
Daniel’s eyes seemed a bit strange, "Are you sure?"
Emilia didn’t know why Daniel asked this.
She thought that he was just too shy to accept it.
So, she said, "It’s just an art piece, not worth much. You seem to like it, if you feel obligated, you can be my appraiser and help me appraise a few containers. Consider it as compensation for this book."
Daniel nodded, "That works."
In fact, his heart was already overjoyed.
Never mind appraising a few containers, he would do it for a year without complaints.
This Necronomicon was a priceless treasure as appraised by the system.
Even the system couldn’t provide a specific buyback price!
This showed that the texts recorded in it were indeed magical dark spells.
Once deciphered, it would definitely cause a great uproar in the world.
It could even change the structure of the world!
Science?
Magic was the real primary productive force!

Daniel accepted the book and promised to help Emilia appraise three containers next.
Sophia, who heard the news, scrutinized Emilia with alert eyes.
After looking for a while, she turned to Daniel with a puzzled expression, "Dear, what do you see in her?"
Daniel was confused.
Sophia continued, "In terms of appearance, she’s a woman in her forties, definitely can’t compare to a young and pretty girl like me."
"In terms of figure, sister Rachel has a big bust and curvy butt, with long legs that are taller than your head when lifted."
"We have two top-tier beauties around you all day, how can you even look at that kind of stuff?"
Sophia didn’t attempt to lower her voice as she spoke these words.
Emilia, standing aside, heard every word and clenched her fists, grinding her teeth.
If it weren’t for Daniel being there, she probably would have rushed over and fought with Sophia.
This girl’s words were really infuriating.
Every sentence was true, each one hitting home.
In the livestream, viewers were already in fits of laughter.
"Streamer’s girlfriend is really top-tier."
"Not just good looking, but her mind works on a different level than ordinary people."
"Streamer is damn lucky. If I had a girlfriend like that, I’d hold her in my arms all day."
"The annoying thing is, streamer has two girlfriends like that!"
"F**k!"
"Streamer is going to hell!"
Daniel didn’t have time to deal with the viewers, he looked at Sophia’s sincere eyes and said annoyed, "Can’t you keep your voice down? You purposely said it for her to hear, right?"
Sophia, indifferent, nodded and said, "I don’t mind you having other women, but they can’t be inferior to me. How could someone like her share a man with me? The women you conquer in the future must be gorgeous in both face and figure! Only they would be deserving of being my boyfriend!"
Daniel was utterly speechless.
This perspective was indeed unique.
But it wasn’t completely without reason.
He glanced at Rachel and saw her repeatedly giving Sophia a thumbs-up.
Clearly, Rachel had been won over by Sophia’s train of thought.
All Daniel could say was, "It’s just three containers. We’ll leave when the auction ends, and I’ll explain later."
Sophia casually replied, "Just don’t bring her along."
Then she walked away, leaving Daniel with no choice but to shake his head in resignation.
Soon, Robert returned to the stage.
The treasure hunters immediately stopped their discussions, focusing intently on Robert.
"This container is from our neighboring country, country J. Since the owner of the box has filed for bankruptcy, this container is allowed to be publicly auctioned."
He concluded with, "Same old rules, take a look first," before stepping down.
The box was opened, and all the treasure hunters went up to inspect.
Daniel also took a glance.
The container was packed full.
What he saw were black boxes of various sizes, filled in between were steel tubes and a good amount of LED strips.
It looked like a batch of stage equipment.
Allen cheerfully asked, "Bro, could there be sound equipment in there?"
If there were, the value of this batch would skyrocket.
Abel looked serious, scrutinizing the situation inside the container.
Judging from the LED strips and steel tubes, it indeed seemed like a batch of stage equipment.
But those boxes were all sealed, nobody knew what was inside.
Emilia turned to Daniel for his opinion.
However, she got a head shake from him, "It’s best not to bid. Even if you do, don’t exceed 5,000 StellarCoins."
Emilia was a little puzzled, "A whole set of stage equipment usually costs around a million, even the lowest configuration would cost several tens of thousands of StellarCoins. Isn’t your appraisal price a little too low?"
Daniel’s appraisal price naturally came from the system.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Did you see that box?"
Emilia followed Daniel’s pointing finger and saw a small black suitcase slightly opened, tucked against the wall on the right side of the container.
Using binoculars, Emilia saw the inside, "It’s actually empty?!"
Daniel nodded, "I don’t know why, but if there’s one empty box, the possibility of other boxes being empty is very high. I suspect that the contents might have been taken out beforehand."
As he spoke, Daniel deliberately or unintentionally glanced towards Robert behind the podium.
Even though there was no clear evidence, the only ones who could know what was in the containers beforehand, and even open and take things out, were the port staff.
Emilia understood Daniel’s point and fell silent.
Soon, the observation time ended.
Matt took the lead, offering the first bid: "50,000 StellarCoins!"
All the treasure hunters were taken aback.
This price was directly targeting a complete set of stage equipment.
Although there was a big possibility, it was rather reckless.
No wonder everyone thought Matt was the auction house’s troublemaker, a plant by the port.
He sure acted like one!
