35: Is something worth anything even if it's shattered into pieces?

Qin Yun explained with a smile.

"Our biggest goal for coming today is to find suitable buyers and build connections so we can sell the Egyptian antiques we acquired last time."

"Moreover, in this kind of Warehouse Auction market, the most valuable warehouses are likely put at the end. The items in these three warehouses are probably ordinary and not worth our bid."

After speaking, Qin Yun began to observe the situation on the side of the VIP group, looking for those interested in antiques and those who would bid high.

Julia let out an "oh," finally understanding Qin Yun's intention.

"Let's observe separately. I'll come find you later."

While secretly admiring him, Julia decided in her heart that she must help Qin Yun sort this matter out.

Qin Yun is so capable; he shouldn't bother with trivial matters. He just needs to bid on the warehouses, and she'll handle the rest.

"Okay."

Qin Yun nodded in agreement.

Separating would allow them to see different scenes and have a better chance of finding suitable buyers.

The auction soon began.

The surrounding people quickly squeezed forward to inspect, but the big shots in the Collector circle remained still.

As he expected, the three warehouses were just for attracting attention.

All three warehouses were bought by passersby for less than a thousand dollars.

There wasn't anything particularly good inside the warehouses, even in the best one.

All the items combined were worth less than three thousand dollars.

Qin Yun noticed that those warehouse Collectors didn't participate in the Warehouse Auction at all.

They only came forward to check what good things were inside after the Warehouse Auction was completed.

Only when they saw something of interest would these Collectors make a move to buy it.

However, the items in the warehouses were too common; only a few people inquired, and most just shook their heads and walked away.

After the first Warehouse Auction ended, it was already time for lunch.

Qin Yun arrived at their agreed-upon restaurant, and Julia only arrived when the dishes were served.

Julia hurried to Qin Yun's table and handed him a notebook.

"This is my morning's achievement."

Julia looked up, her face filled with pride, waiting for praise.

Qin Yun opened the notebook in confusion. It had many names, with phone numbers annotated next to them.

Seeing Qin Yun's puzzled expression, Julia proactively explained.

"The notebook lists all the Collectors who came to participate in the Warehouse Treasure Hunt. You're looking for buyers, so I got all their information for you."

Seeing Qin Yun's astonished expression, Julia was very happy.

"How, how did you do it?"

Qin Yun still didn't quite understand how Julia had managed to get so many Collectors' names and phone numbers in such a short time.

Julia smiled happily and even struck a pose.

"That's my role. Sometimes, being beautiful is also an advantage."

Julia was very happy to be able to help Qin Yun.

Seeing the usually calm Qin Yun show an astonished expression made her even happier.

Qin Yun showed a wry smile and quickly invited this great contributor to eat.

With this notebook, he could act freely and make a fortune in the upcoming auctions.

After eating and resting for an hour at the restaurant, the next Warehouse Auction was about to begin.

The two arrived at the square and found that many Treasure Hunters had already gathered. The Host announced the location of the next Warehouse Auction.

Everyone followed the Host to the area behind the square where the storage warehouses were located.

Three warehouses were placed in front, but they were all rusty and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

Seeing this situation, many Treasure Hunters instantly lost interest.

They had originally thought that the Host making such a fuss would mean there were good things.

Unexpectedly, they were three dilapidated warehouses, likely containing nothing valuable.

Even if there were good things, in such a harsh environment, they would likely be ruined and turn into a pile of trash.

"What is this? They're just fooling people."

"If we had known this, we wouldn't have come."

"Who would even look at these trash warehouses except for junk Collectors?"

"We traveled all this way just to see these warehouses? It's not even worth the gas money!"

...Some short-tempered Treasure Hunters cursed and wanted to go up to the Host to demand an explanation.

Seeing the crowd's outrage, the Host hurriedly announced the official start of the Warehouse Auction.

"Don't worry, everyone. Broken warehouses mean they're old, and perhaps there might be antiques inside?"

"The first Warehouse Auction officially begins. Staff Members, please open the warehouse door."

Although the Host said this, he didn't believe there would be antiques in the warehouse.

These warehouses were abandoned; the chance of finding antiques was too small. He was just trying to change the subject.

After the first warehouse door opened, facing the accumulated dust inside the entire warehouse, the Treasure Hunters frowned and squeezed forward to check the situation.

Despite their complaints of regret, as Treasure Hunters, they were still very curious about what might be inside.

Inside the warehouse were many rusty, broken wrenches and a simple machine tool, but the iron plate had rusted through and crumbled at a touch, clearly unusable.

Many dark parts were piled against the wall; nothing could be seen from the outside, but given how the owner carelessly placed them, they were obviously worthless items.

Two rotten tires lay in the corner; the rubber had weathered, making it difficult to maintain their state, let alone use them.

Clearly, this was a mechanic's shop.

Everything inside had rotted away and was completely worthless.

Seeing this, the Treasure Hunters all shook their heads and retreated in disappointment.

The items in the warehouse might fetch a hundred dollars as scrap metal, but they weren't willing to be fools and clean out the warehouse for the Host.

Qin Yun was also very disappointed to see the room full of trash. He had thought there would be good things, but it turned out to be an abandoned mechanic's warehouse.

However, he still had three uses of Profound Vision Treasure Eye today.

With three warehouses, it would be a waste not to use them.

He somewhat reluctantly used his Profound Vision Treasure Eye.

He had expected it to be gray, but the trash-filled warehouse surprisingly emitted a faint green treasure light.

Qin Yun thought he had seen wrong, but found it was still green treasure light.

He began to doubt.

There shouldn't be anything valuable in the warehouse, right?

The dark parts might have some value.

But after so much time, even if the parts were miraculously intact, they would be outdated and shouldn't be valuable.

Could there be a problem with the Profound Vision Treasure Eye?
