Live Stream Treasure Hunt: I Made Profits Million Times Over

Selena gestured and her assistant immediately handed over a contract.

"Mr. Roberts, take a look at this contract."

Daniel took it and briefly glanced through it.

He didn't even finish two pages of the thick contract before tossing it aside.

"Let's talk about the terms first, I can look at this stuff later."

Selena smiled, "Mr. Roberts is quite straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either. We'd like to sign a five-year contract with you, with an annual payment of two million StellarCoins. We're willing to split your media contract fees and platform revenue in a 60-40 ratio. You should know, even the hottest streamer on our platform is getting a 50-50 split."

Daniel didn't rush to respond.

Media contract fees refer to profits from commercial contracts in all forms of media excluding live streaming activities.

As for the platform income, it simply refers to the gifts that the live streaming audience gives to Daniel.

Both of these are significant sources of income.

Allen, who was eavesdropping nearby, was counting on his fingers.

"Two million a year, five years is... ten million?!"

Allen was stunned, looking at Daniel with eyes full of envy.

Just the contract alone was worth ten million, not to mention other incomes from gifts and various other sources.

Dan's income would reach tens of millions!

Holy moly!

This, damn it, is way too profitable!

The treasure hunters nearby also showed different expressions.

From the moment Daniel appeared at the auction, money flowed into his pocket like water.

Yet, they, the gamblers who walk on cliffs every day, could go bankrupt with a single misstep.

The disparity was clear.

Damn it, it's frustrating to compare oneself to others.

Seeing that Daniel hadn't spoken for a long time, Allen whispered from the side, "Dan! Accept it!"

"Stop grinning like a fool, sign the contract first, get the money and then you can secretly laugh!"

Daniel glanced back at him.

This amount of money was not worth him secretly laughing about.

He turned back and said seriously, "If it's just these terms, then I find it hard to accept."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

He actually refused?

Daniel continued, "You should be clear about my current popularity. With my appraisal skills, my fan base will only grow. So, if there aren't better terms, I absolutely won't sign a contract with you. I could just switch to another live streaming company."

There are many live streaming platforms worldwide, he didn't necessarily need TW.

At these words, Selena's face didn't look so good.

She knew Daniel would be tough to handle, but didn't expect it to be this tough.

What's worse, what Daniel said made sense.

He was a skill-based streamer and such streamers had low dependency on the platform.

They could thrive on any platform.

But this kid, he was a bit too arrogant.

Suppressing her displeasure, Selena smiled and asked, "I wonder what terms Mr. Roberts would like to change."

Daniel responded directly, "The contract can only be for one year, and it should be five million. The media contract income should belong solely to me. My popularity depends entirely on my personal skills, not your platform's packaging. You guys don't need to do anything, why should you share my media contract income?"

"As for the platform revenue, we can maintain the 60-40 split," he added.

Out of three terms, he was only changing two.

He had to leave some room for negotiation after all.

Listening to Daniel's demands, Selena's face turned darker.

Five million a year and only signing for one year?

Who knows if he'd raise his price next year.

And keeping all of the media contract income for himself, not willing to give up a cent?

Only a fool would agree to these conditions.

Without waiting for Selena to speak, Daniel waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently, "Go back and discuss it with your company's top management. If they agree, then come find me."

And with that, he resumed eating his hamburger.

Selena couldn't hold back any longer.

What did he mean, 'if they agree then come find me'?

As if there was no room for negotiation and if they didn't agree, he wouldn't sign the contract?

Where did this guy get his confidence from?

Of all the partnership discussions she'd had, none had more outrageous demands than him.

What was infuriating was that she couldn't find an angle to refute him.

Selena's face was full of frustration, but she didn't dare to confront him directly.

She could only say, "Mr. Roberts, I'll take my leave now."

Saying that, she turned around and left in a huff.

Watching Selena and her assistant leave the restaurant, Allen leaned over, shocked, "Dan, you're amazing. A contract for five million a year, not splitting the media contract revenue, you'll be making tens of millions a year."

Daniel just laughed.

A year? In less than two weeks of participating in auctions, he had already earned nearly two hundred million StellarCoins.

If it weren't for the basic principle that not making money when you can is stupid, he wouldn't have wasted his breath with the people from TW Company.

Soon, the three of them finished their meal and returned to the auction.

By then, quite a few treasure hunters had gathered around Robert.

Seeing Daniel appear, Robert looked somewhat surprised.

"Hey, my dear Dan! It's such a shame you didn't come this morning. Many containers filled with good stuff were auctioned off."

Daniel replied calmly, "No matter. Getting the containers in the second half will be enough."

Robert chuckled, "You're still as confident as ever."

Having said that, Robert glanced at the number of people present.

Feeling that it was about time and not wanting to wait any longer, he announced to the crowd, "The next round of containers for auction are right behind me. These are from the Golden Shores Harbor in route to Phukari Island. But the sender couldn't make up the final freight and handling fees, and they couldn't find him, so they're being auctioned off publicly now. Same rules as always, take a look first, then bid!"

After saying that, the staff came forward, cut open the lock with a bolt cutter and opened the door.

Everyone immediately gasped in unison.

At the doorway, the shelves were filled with old military supply boxes.

Behind them was a large object covered with camouflage cloth. Allen immediately became interested, "Could all of these be arms?"

Abel nodded, "Very likely, the thing covered in cloth in the back, judging by the outline, looks like a vehicle."

Allen was excited, "Could it be a tank?"

Daniel was speechless, "The container is only this big, half of it is already filled with supply boxes, do you really think there's room for a tank?"

What's more, there wasn't an outline of a tank gun barrel in the camouflaged cloth.

So, it couldn't be a tank.

Regardless of what it was, the value of this container in the eyes of the treasure hunters was skyrocketing.

Matt also came over, his eyes fixed on the supply boxes inside the container.

"These might not necessarily be arms."

Allen snorted, "What else could be in military supply boxes if not arms? Inflatable dolls?"

Matt didn't seem to mind, continuing his analysis, "These supply boxes look too old. Modern weapons would never be packed in these types of boxes."

It's the same logic as those who can afford supercars wouldn't skimp on the money to upgrade them.

Abel also agreed, "Matt's right. Moreover, Phukari Island is just a small tourist island. Even though it faces the drug powerhouse country M across the sea, and there's a possibility of smuggling arms, country M is connected to our Saxton City by land, which is the best route for smuggling."

In short, under Matt and Abel's analysis, the possibility of these goods being smuggled arms was almost entirely ruled out.

Allen was a bit frustrated, "If they're not arms, then what could they be?"

Matt suggested, "Your brother said it, Phukari Island is a tourist island, maybe someone there was planning to start a new tourism project, these things could just be props for decoration."

This was also a possibility.

Many treasure hunters were eavesdropping on their analysis.

After listening, they were also in a dilemma.

No one was sure whether they should bid for these containers or not.

Daniel listened to their analysis and thought it made sense, but he still chose to use his system to appraise it.

His gaze swept over and a string of data appeared in front of him.

[Item]: Supply Box

[Age]: 1960s

[Condition]: Battle-Scarred

[Details]: An old supply box containing modern automatic rifles

[Appraisal]: Worth buying!

[Market Price]: 13,000 StellarCoins

[Buyback Price]: 10,000 StellarCoins

Well, turns out they were automatic rifles!

In Libertopia, the authorities are not too strict about gun control in order to accommodate the public's interest in firearms.

But it does require arms manufacturers to modify the models provided to the military to produce versions suitable for civilian use.

These versions are significantly inferior to the military ones in terms of portability, power, and stability.

For the same model of rifle, the automatic one is the so-called 'full-blood' version, while the semi-automatic one is the so-called 'civilian' version.

Daniel thought the most these supply boxes could contain were the civilian version of the weapons.

But to his surprise, they were full-automatic 'full-blood' rifles.

The price of 13,000 was absolutely not high!

Looking at the nearly forty similar boxes in the container, that meant these automatic rifles alone were worth more than half a million!

Well, this is something!

They were purposely put into these worn-out supply boxes, it seems they were to be used to confuse customs and smuggle arms!

Daniel's gaze then shifted to the object covered in camouflage cloth inside the container.
