92: There is gold in the soil

Qin Yun felt strange; why was there green treasure light in this warehouse?

The car body and parts were all worthless junk; the only odd thing was that bag of dirt.

Could there be something valuable in the dirt?

After the bidding started, few people showed interest in making offers.

When the price reached one hundred and fifty dollars, the number of bidders dwindled.

Bruno turned to Qin Yun and asked in a low voice, "Should we make a bid?"

In his view, the tools and parts inside could still be worth something.

If they could secure it at a reasonable price, having a safety net would be good.

Seeing Qin Yun nod, Bruno excitedly raised his hand to signal the Host.

"I bid two hundred." After calling out his bid, he provocatively glanced at Humphrey.

After consulting Walter, Humphrey retorted defiantly, "I bid two hundred and fifty dollars."

"I don't know if I should raise the bid; you handle the bidding."

After the opponent raised the price, Bruno looked conflicted.

In his eyes, the warehouse was worth around three hundred dollars.

For complex challenges, it was better to leave it to Qin Yun, an expert in Warehouse Auctions.

Qin Yun nodded in agreement and calmly bid, "Three hundred dollars."

After observing, Qin Yun finally understood why Bruno always lost but kept competing.

This guy's personality was showy; with a slight advantage, he'd get carried away and cared too much about winning or losing.

Bruno was very easy for others to see through; no wonder he kept losing in competitions.

"Three hundred and fifty dollars."

After discussing for a while, Walter took over the bidding task, making an offer at the last moment.

He saw a usable fuel tank inside, worth about one hundred dollars.

The other miscellaneous items in the warehouse should be worth around two hundred and fifty dollars.

As long as they secured it for no more than four hundred dollars, it would be profitable.

As for his earlier promise to only buy one warehouse, Walter had already forgotten it.

Winning against Qin Yun would be a fluke; pride wasn't important.

"Four hundred dollars."

Qin Yun's expression was very calm, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.

Since there was green treasure light inside, judging by its intensity, the warehouse likely contained a small treasure worth at least one or two thousand dollars.

Seeing Qin Yun's composed demeanor, Walter hesitated.

Was Qin Yun using a trick?

If they secured this warehouse for four hundred and fifty dollars, it wouldn't significantly affect the competition's outcome.

He recalled the last auction where Qin Yun pretended to be mysterious, making him spend a fortune on a warehouse with sapphires.

Walter didn't want to be fooled by Qin Yun using the same trick again; it was too hurtful, so he didn't bid.

"Should we still bid?"

Humphrey asked Walter with curiosity.

"No, only that fuel tank in the warehouse is worth anything; in my view, the price is around three hundred and fifty dollars."

"That kid Qin Yun is very shrewd; he's bidding at the bottom line. If we raise the bid, this warehouse might end up in our hands, which isn't cost-effective."

"Besides, this warehouse's ownership has little impact on the competition's outcome. That kid Qin Yun is good at using such price-inflating tricks; we should just wait and see."

Walter patiently explained to Humphrey why they shouldn't raise the bid.

Humphrey's face showed a look of sudden understanding.

No wonder he was the consultant he hired.

Not only could he spot the valuable fuel tank in the warehouse, but he also had the opponent figured out completely.

The opponent was like a clown, with all their plans and intentions guessed by Walter.

With Walter's help, he was already in an unbeatable position.

Seeing Qin Yun raise the bid by another fifty dollars and the opponent seemingly about to give up, Bruno grew anxious.

"Qin Yun, we can't raise the bid anymore. The stuff in this warehouse isn't worth much. If we lose money, the opponent's advantage will be too great; they might even win the competition without buying the remaining two warehouses."

Bruno regretted it; Qin Yun's talent in auctioning warehouses was unparalleled.

However, he wasn't as skilled with low-value warehouses like this.

Warehouses of this level were better suited for scrap yard experts.

He had been careless, thinking Qin Yun's talent would ensure an easy win, never expecting the warehouses in the affluent area to be full of junk.

"Since you let me handle it, just trust me; I won't lose!"

Qin Yun said with full confidence.

He had seen the green treasure aura with his Profound Vision Treasure Eye and wasn't worried about losing money.

Hearing Qin Yun say this, Bruno couldn't say much.

But he had a feeling.

There might be a treasure in this warehouse.

Then he shook his head, dismissing this absurd thought.

The contents of this warehouse were all in plain sight, just worthless discarded car parts; how could there be anything valuable?

Walter and Humphrey kept a close eye on Qin Yun's expression.

Seeing Qin Yun's confident look, it further confirmed their earlier judgment.

This kid was using a trick, trying to lure them into bidding.

They were already sitting pretty and wouldn't fall for it.

Let Qin Yun and Bruno cry about it.

The others around had little interest in this warehouse to begin with; seeing the price reach four hundred dollars, there was no need to bid.

In the end, the first warehouse was secured by Qin Yun for four hundred dollars.

When the Auctioneer announced the result, Bruno hurriedly ran into the warehouse.

Even if he lost, he wanted to know exactly why.

This was the warehouse Qin Yun had won; what if there was a valuable treasure inside?

Not minding the grease and dirt in the warehouse, he put on gloves and carefully inspected every part.

This small Warehouse Auction was different from usual; to make the competition more interesting, they waited for the buyer to inspect the warehouse before proceeding to the next auction.

The crowd didn't think much of this warehouse, but to understand the entire process of the two Tycoons' competition, they gathered to see what was inside.

Because discovering a valuable item in the warehouse could be the key to winning.

After hearing Walter's analysis, Humphrey believed there wouldn't be anything good in the warehouse.

Just in case, he craned his neck, not blinking as he watched Bruno in the warehouse.

Seeing Bruno find nothing, he immediately relaxed.

"So what if you lost? It's only four hundred dollars; you're not a sore loser, are you? Looks like the consultant you hired isn't up to par!"

After saying this, Humphrey provocatively looked at Qin Yun.

He wanted to make a big deal out of this warehouse, causing this young man to underperform in the next two warehouses.

Bruno looked at Qin Yun with disappointment; since he was the consultant he hired, he couldn't say much.

He could only hope for better performance in the next two warehouses.

Qin Yun ignored Humphrey's nonsense and walked toward the cloth bag of dirt.

When he lifted it, the cloth bag tore apart.

A pile of yellow dirt was left on the ground.

Everyone was stunned; what was this guy doing?

"This is the consultant Bruno hired; is he okay? What's so interesting about a pile of dirt?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's a fool who can't face reality in this situation."

"Bruno is unlucky; how did he end up with such a consultant?"

"I think there's no need to continue the competition; the assistants the two hired aren't on the same level; Bruno is definitely going to lose!"

...Everyone shook their heads in disappointment, thinking Bruno's consultant had some skill.

Now it seemed this competition was without suspense.

Bruno was about to stop Qin Yun's unnecessary actions.

He wasn't a sore loser; there was no need to struggle and invite ridicule.

Then, after Qin Yun spread the dirt pile with his foot, two pieces of gold shining with a golden light were revealed inside.

Everyone on the scene was shocked speechless.
