68: This warehouse is yours.

The bidders here weren't offering much.

Each bid only went up by five dollars, and the intervals between them were quite long.

Everyone was arguing over a single warehouse until they were red in the face, putting every ounce of strength into each incremental bid.

Since Qin Yun started participating in large-scale Warehouse Auctions, he had rarely seen such a lively scene and found it quite amusing.

"Julia, shall we go down and see what the situation is with the Warehouse Auction here?"

Truly curious, Qin Yun invited Julia to go take a look with him.

If they were lucky, he could also ask about the location of the farm belonging to the person in the photo.

"Sure."

Julia also found this kind of Warehouse Auction interesting and agreed.

After parking the car, Qin Yun stepped forward to take a look.

The warehouse was filled with agricultural tools.

Because they had been there for so long, their surfaces were covered in rust.

Qin Yun knew there wouldn't be anything good inside; even if the tools were in perfect condition, he wouldn't care.

Not only were they not worth much, but transportation would be a major headache.

The bidding was still somewhat intense, and Qin Yun found the young man in the back who kept rubbing his neck.

"Hello, do you recognize the people in this photo? I have their address, but the roads here are too confusing, and I don't know how to get there."

He took out the photo and the address to show the young man.

the young man's expression suddenly turned strange, and he sized Qin Yun up with doubt for a long time.

"How do you have an old photo of my family? Who are you exactly? Why are you looking for my parents?"

Looking at the way the two were dressed, which was very different from farm folk, the young man felt suspicious.

Why would a stranger have an old photo of his parents?

At that moment, the Host began the countdown.

the young man instantly grew anxious, ignoring the strangers in front of him.

"I bid sixty-five!"

Winning the warehouse was the priority right now; as for the two strangers, the young man had already set them aside.

Qin Yun hadn't expected that the young man he randomly approached would be the child of the parents in the photo.

It truly was a case of finding it without any effort at all.

With this young man, he would be able to get in touch with the people in the photo.

This meant he wasn't far from the yongle encyclopedia.

"Are your parents at home? Could you take us to meet them? we have something important to discuss."

Qin Yun asked impatiently.

"Um, the Warehouse Auction is more important. We'll talk about your business later."

Qin Yun noticed that the young man didn't even look at him, his mind entirely focused on the warehouse bidding, and he smiled helplessly.

He hadn't expected this person to be even more persistent about warehouses than himself.

He had no time at all to consider the questions asked.

Since this person cared so much about the items in the warehouse, it seemed the first step to securing the yongle encyclopedia would start with this warehouse.

Thinking of this, he immediately activated his Profound Vision Treasure Eye.

In addition to the grayish-white treasure energy in the warehouse, there was actually a glint of green treasure light.

Qin Yun was startled; he hadn't expected there to actually be a treasure in this warehouse.

Although green was the lowest level of treasure light, it was still extremely rare to see in a warehouse like this.

In a warehouse full of rotting farm tools that had sat for so long, it was lucky if anything was still usable, so how could there be a treasure?

Qin Yun scanned the warehouse carefully again.

He didn't find anything particularly special.

He guessed that in a spot he couldn't see, there must be a farm tool that wasn't broken, perhaps a small, high-quality piece.

With that thought, a plan instantly formed in his mind.

Since he was waiting for someone anyway, he might as well play around a bit.

Perhaps this warehouse would become the stepping stone to impress this young man.

"Two hundred!"

The bidding price had already reached eighty-five dollars. Qin Yun didn't want to waste too much time here and directly raised it to two hundred.

Hearing the bid of two hundred, everyone was stunned.

When they turned around and saw a stranger was bidding, they were even more perplexed.

What use was it for an outsider to buy a warehouse full of farm tools here?

Even if there were some valuable items inside, the cost of transporting them away would exceed their value.

The Host was also greatly surprised to hear the two-hundred-dollar bid.

In his eyes, this warehouse was worth a hundred dollars at most.

It seemed outsiders really were rich; the man was probably just looking for a thrill.

"Any further bids? Starting the countdown: 3, 2, 1, sold."

Fearing the man might regret it, the Host's countdown was noticeably faster this time.

"Damn, what's going on? How did an outsider buy the warehouse?"

"Who is this guy? Is he buying this warehouse because he has nothing better to do?"

"There's clearly nothing good in this warehouse, yet this outsider bid two hundred dollars. Truly strange."

"People from the big city sure have money and too much time on their hands, otherwise who would buy a trash warehouse!"

...Everyone looked at Qin Yun, whispering incessantly.

This outsider had spoiled their fun. There was surely nothing valuable in the warehouse, and they were eager to see the look of disappointment on his face.

the young man also looked at Qin Yun with a strange expression.

"Who are you? Why did you buy this warehouse?"

"In my opinion, this warehouse is worth ninety dollars at most. You're taking a huge loss by taking it for two hundred!"

the young man wondered if the weirdo in front of him was just too rich.

He must be a newcomer who didn't understand the joy of Warehouse Auctions at all.

Qin Yun smiled: "I am Qin Yun. What is your name?"

"Frauer Eugene."

"Frauer, that's a nice name. This warehouse belongs to you now."

"Really? That wouldn't be right, would it?"

"Of course it's real. This is my meeting gift. One warehouse is nothing to me."

Seeing Frauer's astonished look, Qin Yun spread his hands, indicating the warehouse was his.

It was just a warehouse with green treasure light, likely containing some farm machinery, which held only a bit of value to him.

But compared to the goal of his trip—the yongle encyclopedia—this warehouse was insignificant.

Frauer looked at Qin Yun for a while and realized Qin Yun had no intention of backing out.

He hesitated for a long time, but he truly couldn't resist the temptation of opening a warehouse and ran straight inside.

Only then did the surrounding people realize this stranger had bought the warehouse to give to Frauer.

They gained a new understanding of this stranger.

"This guy is really generous. If only someone would give me a warehouse."

"Keep dreaming. You're a good-for-nothing; only someone blind would give you a warehouse."

"Frauer sure is lucky, but there probably isn't anything good in that warehouse!"

"Exactly, participating in a Warehouse Auction is about the joy of opening a blind box. What joy is there left for Frauer like this?"

"Wait until Frauer finds out it's all trash, then they'll be crying."

...They felt a bit of jealousy toward Frauer's good luck, so their words were somewhat sour.

In their eyes, buying this warehouse for two hundred dollars made one a total sucker.

Hearing these rookies' words, Qin Yun didn't feel the slightest bit of anger.

They were just newcomers who hadn't seen many Warehouse Auctions, and they didn't mean much harm.

Once Frauer finished inspecting the warehouse, they would know how shallow their knowledge was.

When it came to Warehouse Auctions, they were complete amateurs.

This was probably what it felt like for a high-level player to be in a starter village.

Easy, comfortable, and invincible!

As expected, Frauer's surprised shouts came from inside the warehouse.

"Oh my God, there's actually something this good in the warehouse!"
