Chapter 1598: The Treasure is Here!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the disappointment of the previous warehouse, although everyone had their hopes dashed a little, their high spirits were not affected at all. After all, gambling on storage units was a low probability thing. It was normal for one or two low-value storage units to appear.
The moment the dust flew out, the crowd clamored out in surprise.
“This storage unit seems pretty good?”
“Looks like it’s another old one!”
“I hope God will bless me, and it’ll stop being trash!”
Then, Richard pulled up the shutter door, completely revealing the true appearance of the warehouse.
When they saw the items in the warehouse, the cheers from the crowd were immediately replaced by boos.
What greeted their eyes was a pile of cardboard boxes and a pile of woven bags filled with things.
Was there anything in the cardboard boxes? This was uncertain. What was in the woven bags? This was also full of uncertainty.
Since it was a bet, it was not possible to open them for others to see.
Many people moved closer, hoping to see some clues from the gaps between the woven bags and boxes, but this was too limited.
Whether or not they could see the items before opening them depended on their luck!
Ye Feng did not follow them in.
He just covered his nose and silently turned on the deep navigation to check the contents of the cardboard box and woven bags.
“Appraisal result: Worn-out female underwear, extremely low value!”
“Appraisal result: Women’s sexy lingerie, extremely low value.”
“Appraisal result: Official Ximen’s silver tray, authentic, worth about 20,000!”
“Appraisal result: Stomach-sealing cream formula, worth about 30,000!”
“Appraisal result: Official Ximen’s Yearning Set is worth about 8,000!”
[Appraisal result: Expired Blue Carefree Pill, worthless!]
…
As a large number of test reports entered his mind, three black lines appeared on Ye Feng’s forehead.
The previous tenant of this warehouse was most likely a fool. This guy’s things were basically related to the “lower half of the body.”
The most ridiculous thing was that many of the “bedroom tools” of Lord Ximen in a forbidden book in ancient China actually existed, and they even drifted overseas.
Among them, the most valuable item was only worth about 30,000 yuan.
Ye Feng chose to give up.
Not to mention that the value of those things was not worth it. In terms of nature, they were not worth it.
Truthfully speaking, during this trip to America, Ye Feng did have the intention to find a few cultural relics that were lost overseas and bring them back to his country.
The utensils used by the great official Ximen could barely be considered as “cultural relics,” but…
Such a ‘cultural relic’ should continue to wander overseas!
And the other bidders did not have Ye Feng’s ability, they whispered to each other as they studied what might be in those cardboard boxes and woven bags. “These things seem to be very old.”
“If we bid for it at a lower price, there’s a high chance that we won’t lose money?”
“What do you think?”
“…”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao was also interested in the cardboard boxes and woven bags, she shook Ye Feng’s arm at the side.
“Cough cough!” Ye Feng naturally understood what she meant, he patted her shoulder. “Listen to me, you can’t bet on the things inside!”
Although he was speaking in his mother tongue, Ye Feng still lowered his voice.
After all, there were so many people here, and no one could say for sure if there were foreigners who could understand Chinese. It was fine as long as he knew what was in the warehouse, but he could not disturb the warehouse rental company.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao trusted Ye Feng very much. When she heard Ye Feng’s words, she immediately stopped shaking his arm and quietly watched the other participants discuss.
After checking out the second storage unit, Richard brought everyone to the third storage unit.
Ye Feng no longer had the same feeling as when he first arrived.
Before he participated in it, he had thought that this thing had a technical component.
But now, after looking at two storage units, he realized something.
There was only one word that stood out here, “gamble!”
Skills were not important at all.
In other words, this place was basically a free lunch for cheaters like him.
Seeing that the third storage unit was opened and everyone was rushing in, Ye Feng only smiled.
There was also a large amount of junk piled up in this warehouse.
From the looks of it, there didn’t seem to be anything good.
Everyone was probably unwilling to give up, so they moved closer with interest, hoping to see through the gaps between the items and find clues of the items.
Ye Feng immediately activated the deep navigation system and started to scan the warehouse!
“Appraisal result: Old double bed, extremely low value!”
“Appraisal result: Old ceiling lantern, extremely low value!”
“Appraisal result: Old single-door refrigerator, extremely low value!”
…
As a large number of appraisal results surged into his mind, he was a little confused.
Wasn’t this a warehouse? Why were there only some daily necessities inside?
From the cabinets to the pots and pans, it could be said that there was everything.
Could it be that the person who rented the warehouse previously treated this place as his home and lived here?
However, just as Ye Feng had lost all hope for this storage unit, the last appraisal report made his eyes light up.
“Appraisal result: The Golden Statue of Liberty, the last work of Gallic artist Robert Cochet in his later years! This is Robert’s first and only large-scale gold work. The system estimates it to be ten million dollars!”
Everyone had searched for it a thousand times, but when they looked back, there was really a treasure in this warehouse!
Moreover, it was worth 10 million dollars, which was more than 70 million yuan!
Ye Feng knew about Robert Cochet.
This person was a famous goldsmiths in Gaul in the 19th century. He was good at making medals and coins, as well as some small bronze objects such as mustard seeds. His achievements were remarkable, but he had never heard of him making large instruments.
However, it was no wonder. Robert had only made this one in his life, so it was reasonable that he had never heard of it.
Ye Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart, he memorized the number of this storage unit.
At this time, Richard’s job was only to show these warehouses, and it was not yet time for the auction.
When the next storage unit was opened, everyone booed again. There were only a dozen or so wooden cabinets inside, and on them were some bottles and cans that were already filled with dust.
Seeing this storage unit, everyone booed again. They were sure that the person who rented this storage unit before was a restaurant owner.
“This… It’s only worth 100 dollars!”
“One hundred?! I don’t even want to dig out 50 dollars!”
“What’s so good about a bunch of broken jars and blue bottles? Hurry up and show us the next one!”
The group of people impatiently urged Richard.
