Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over-Chapter 50 - -Poor Matt, Emilia’s Fascination!(1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
The treasure hunters glared at Matt with utter disdain.
Such an act was equivalent to robbing the other treasure hunters of their chances to bid.
An initial offer of 50,000 StellarCoins was too much to handle.
No one expected Emilia to raise her hand: "55,000 StellarCoins!"
Daniel remained silent, probably understanding Emilia’s intent was simply to irritate Matt.
Looking back, he was right.
Matt was furious.
Of course, he soon raised his hand and called out: "60,000 StellarCoins!"
The treasure hunters fell into contemplation.
If only Matt had bid, they wouldn’t have thought much.
But now Emilia was also getting into the fray!
Remember, Emilia had now hired Daniel as her appraiser!
Immediately someone reacted.
"61,000 StellarCoins!"
"62,000!"
"I bid 63,000!"
For a moment, the bidding vibe was hotter than ever.
Seeing this, Robert couldn’t help but grin.
The Container Hunt was a game of truth and deception.
Anything of definite value would be privately sold by the port authorities.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly empty container was also being fiercely bid for by the treasure hunters.
Even Daniel was signaling Emilia to bid.
It seemed that even the best hunters could get carried away.
The price of the container continued to rise.
Soon, the price was driven up to 90,000 StellarCoins.
This price was enough to buy a basic set of stage equipment.
Most of the equipment in the container couldn’t be seen, so bidding further was clearly unwise.
Many treasure hunters began to hesitate.
Emilia also sighed, showing a troubled expression.
Seeing this, Matt hastily bid: "100,000 StellarCoins!"
With this price, hardly any treasure hunter had the idea to bid anymore.
Robert stepped forward, sweeping his gaze over the treasure hunters.
Seeing that the potential bidders, veteran treasure hunters, remained silent, he knew the bidding for this container was coming to an end.
He announced, "The highest bid, 100,000 StellarCoins! Any higher?"
After a few seconds of silence, Matt declared the result, "Congratulations to Matt for successfully winning this container with 100,000 StellarCoins!"
Matt was immediately overjoyed.
He smirked at Emilia, "Looks like it’s my turn to hit the jackpot this time!"
Although there was no particular reason, he firmly believed that these professional-looking storage boxes must contain the most expensive stage equipment.
Emilia asked Matt, "Matt, do you really think there’s stage equipment in there?"
Matt licked his lips, his face full of anticipation, "Of course, why else would I be willing to spend big bucks on it?"
Hearing this, Emilia smiled, "I hope it turns out as you wish."
Matt simply assumed Emilia was envious, and brushed off her comment with a laugh, "Don’t worry. Once I sell this batch of equipment, I’ll hire eight male strippers for you. I guarantee they’ll serve you so well, you’ll think you’re in heaven."
The treasure hunters anxiously awaited, eager to see if the container Matt bought could yield valuable equipment.
Soon, the contents of the container were cleared out.
Sophia couldn’t help asking, "Daniel, are you sure it’s all empty inside?"
Daniel responded softly, "Isn’t that pretty obvious? Think about it, if there really were expensive stage equipment in this container, how could the bankrupt consignee not come to collect them to pay off debts? And who would be so bored as to ship empty boxes overseas to other cities? So, there must have been something in these boxes originally, but they were taken out later. It could’ve been the original consignee or the customs staff."
Sophia and Rachel nodded in agreement after hearing Daniel’s analysis.
"Who would’ve thought a Container Hunt Auction could have so many subtleties. Not only do you need exceptional appraisal skills, but also courage and meticulous thought."
"No wonder Dan can make money here. He’s quite capable."
The two women were completely convinced by Daniel.
Daniel raised his hand to signal them, "The real show is about to begin."
At that moment, Matt had opened one of the boxes.
His face instantly turned dark.
The huge professional storage box was empty - it was filled with nothing but air!
Yet he didn’t realize what was wrong, and continued to open the next box.
It was empty as well.
At this point, Matt started to panic, frantically opening all the boxes.
Then, he completely lost it!
He saw about twenty high-grade storage boxes turned upside down on the ground, all empty without exception.
Matt’s heart went cold.
The expected expensive stage equipment was nowhere to be found!
The entire container was filled with nothing but empty boxes, some light strips, and steel structures.
All told, the value didn’t even reach 10,000 StellarCoins, at most only worth 3,000.
Matt felt darkness before his eyes, and his legs wobbled as he nearly collapsed.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Is God deliberately messing with me?!"
His 100,000 StellarCoins were simply washed away.
The surrounding treasure hunters took delight in his misfortune.
Emilia, who had been somewhat dazed, couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved.
She was glad she had trusted Daniel’s judgment, or else she would be the one crying now!
She sarcastically said to Matt, "I’ll send you my address later. Please send my eight male strippers to my room."
Matt forced a smile, "You think I can?"
Emilia replied with disdain, "Never mind, I’m afraid I’ll ruin you and then your wife will sue me."
She knew Matt was upset, so after a couple of teasing remarks, she retreated back to Daniel’s side.
Matt’s downfall did not impact the progress of the auction.
It was still ongoing.
As agreed, since Daniel had received Emilia’s Necronomicon, he had to serve as the appraiser for three rounds of auctions for Emilia.
In the following two rounds, Daniel continued his efforts.
The second round’s container was very similar to the first round’s, filled with sealed boxes.
However, these boxes indeed contained something, albeit of low value, like combs, mirrors, and other small commodities.
Daniel appraised them at 30,000 StellarCoins through his system.
Emilia won them for 21,000 StellarCoins, making a profit of 9,000 StellarCoins.
The third round was about some plaster crafts, which were also of low value.
But because the bidding quickly exceeded the value of the goods themselves, Daniel advised Emilia not to bid.
Eventually, this container was won by a new treasure hunter, Jack, for 52,000 StellarCoins.
However, after Durant appraised the goods, the price was only 30,000 StellarCoins.
After three rounds of auctions, although Emilia didn’t earn much, Daniel had effectively saved her from losing tens of thousands of StellarCoins.
Daniel’s skills gradually won over Emilia.
Old Emilia even leaned on Daniel’s shoulder and whispered, "Dan, are you free tonight, want to grab a drink?"
Hearing this, Daniel shuddered.
This wasn’t excitement, but pure terror.
With the amount of Botox on Emilia’s face, it was clear she was a plastic surgery enthusiast - and a spectacular failure at that.
Add to that a two-decade age difference, and Daniel didn’t have the slightest interest in her.
He quickly replied, "Let’s not, remember you’re a married woman."
Emilia dismissed his refusal, "We’re basically in name only at this point. Since I’m already playing around, why don’t we get together? I can be your investor, and you won’t have to worry about bidding on anything."

Daniel believed her on this point.
He had already learned from Allen that Emilia was indeed a wealthy woman.
Her husband was a shareholder in several tech companies, and she also owned some shares, making her worth over a billion.
For most people, they might not have been able to resist the temptation.
However, Daniel shook his head, reaching out to pull Sophia, who was showing signs of jealousy, "I have a girlfriend, she wouldn’t agree."
Sophia glared, huffing, "That’s right, old witch! If you want to snag my man, you have to at least be at my level."
Saying so, she pulled Rachel who was standing aside over to her. "I agree with Rachel being Daniel’s second girlfriend."
Seeing Sophia’s assertive stance, Emilia found it hard to argue.
She blew a kiss to Daniel, "Dan, I’ll give you time to think it over. Once you agree, everything I have will be yours." She left with a seductive stride after finishing her words.
Sophia turned her head, staring at Daniel, "Are you tempted?"
Daniel quickly denied, "How could I? Having a girlfriend like you, how could I even consider her?"
Hearing this, Sophia nodded in satisfaction, "That’s right. I allow you to have other likes, but they must be high-quality, not just any tom, dick or harry can share my man."
