"Get out of my warehouse!"
A line of striking English letters appeared in the field of vision, looking as if it had been painted with red paint.
Apart from that swear word, there was nothing else; it was truly empty.
"Pfft. Hahahahahaha..."
Duncan Morton, who just moments ago looked dead, is now slapping his thigh and letting out a mesmerizing laugh, just like Tom the cat.
"Oh shit, who would be so bored as to play such a prank?"
Seeing that Ma Jie had opened an empty blind box, Jimmy indignantly complained about the original owner of the body.
The key point is that this blind box isn't cheap; converted to cash, it's worth 3,725 yuan.
Grace said awkwardly, "Oh dear, it seems the Shark team's babies are going to lose everything this time."
"Just a bit of luck plus some new protection." Duncan stopped laughing and started to criticize: "It's like playing the stock market. Newcomers don't know anything, they jump in and buy randomly, make money, and mistake good luck for skill. In the end, the market swallows them up, leaving not even bones. Only the seemingly slow-witted veterans are the ones who truly survive."
"That's right, how could a little rabbit possibly outrun an old tortoise? What's the use of being fast? The one who reaches the finish line first is the winner."
"Young man, from now on, say goodbye to your lucky star."
Perhaps they had been suppressing their opinions for too long, the appraisal experts chimed in, mocking Ma Jieke's misjudgment.
The latter ignored them and went straight to the empty storage containers.
"Is he going in to collect empty space?"
"Maybe."
Clang, clang... Ma Jie carefully tapped the inside of the storage container with the back of his hand, then looked up at the ceiling directly above him.
The camera quickly zoomed in for a close-up, showing him lifting something upwards with force, producing a strange creaking sound.
It turns out there's a hidden compartment at the top of this storage cabinet, but it's hard to spot unless you look closely.
After a movable wooden board was removed, something suddenly fell out of the gap and landed all over his head.
"What? Are those shotgun shells?"
Ma Jie was not surprised by this, and casually pulled out a Beretta DT11 double-barreled competitive shotgun from a hidden compartment, which has a market price of over $8000.
The onlookers, who had just been gloating, suddenly lost their smiles and stared in disbelief as he continued to pluck out more.
The Barrett MRAD modular bolt-action sniper rifle has a market price of $6000+.
The STIStaccatoXC competition-grade 9mm pistol is priced at approximately $3499.
The KACSR-15 military-grade 5.56mm semi-automatic rifle is priced at approximately $4000.
In addition, there are accessories such as silencers, tripods, and optical sights, as well as several boxes of unopened bullets, each corresponding to a different gun model.
After making sure everything was clean, Ma Jieke carried his spoils and walked out while whistling.
There were many gun experts at the scene who couldn't wait to gather around and confirm the specific model.
"Wow! Is this Keanu Reeves' private ammunition depot?" (John Wick movie series protagonist)
"You fake fan, he hid his gun under the concrete floor in the basement."
"Wow, that's amazing, bro! The original owner of this warehouse was definitely a top-tier assassin!"
"Want to sell, buddy? I'll take it all for $20,000. I have a relative who's an FFL distributor; it's just a matter of going through the motions."
The enthusiasts sighed in amazement at these top-of-the-line firearms, and some wealthy men even offered to buy them all on the spot.
However, Ma Jie didn't want to cash it out; it would be better to keep such good equipment for himself.
In the United States, getting a gun license is as easy as getting a driver's license; otherwise, where would the 400 million guns come from?
The unexpected ending caused the live stream chat to explode once again.
"?????????"
"Dude, are you even human? I'm starting to suspect you bribed the entire production team."
"Hey Ray Shit, stop him from opening the box! If he keeps doing this, he could buy the whole of Wall Street."
"Hurry up and open an account, buddy! I'm going to subscribe to you like crazy!"
The only one who remained relatively calm was the host, Grace. She composed herself and continued with the proceedings.
Because of his superior funds, Ma Jie immediately bid on another storage container, spending over a thousand US dollars.
Just when everyone thought he could continue withdrawing funds, an unexpected incident occurred: the total value of the items in the storage locker, after being converted into cash, was less than $500.
You have to be lenient with the money, otherwise if you don't make a profit even once, not only the audience but also the director will think there's something wrong.
At this point, both sides had only a little over a thousand funds left. Grace made a quick decision to forcibly interrupt the auction mode and change it to a blind pick for each team once.
Because if the players collude and don't raise their bets, the tournament will become very protracted.
This gave Ma Jie an opportunity, and he immediately selected a super prismatic blind box that he had scouted out beforehand.
After opening them, I found a whole warehouse full of genuine Panini football series trading cards.
To put it simply, this is an offline trading card game, just like playing a game. You first spend money to buy card packs at a physical store or online.
The card pack is mostly made up of paper cards, printed with the player's photo and career record.
What players need to do is open a large number of card packs to get rare player cards, such as the so-called gold fold, green fold, and iridescent refraction cards.
For even higher value, there are metal cards, autographed cards, and diamond-encrusted cards.
These so-called values are determined by numbers, and are ordered as follows.
/500, /1000: Entry-level limited editions, relatively common.
/99, /150, /299: Mid-range limited editions, collector's items.
/5, /10, /25: Extremely low limited edition, high value.
1/1: The only one, extremely rare.
Although Ma Jieke didn't understand this thing very well, the original owner had already categorized them according to rarity after opening the pack.
So he bypassed the ordinary cardboard boxes and picked up the most eye-catching metal storage box.
When you open it, it sparkles inside, filled with precious items stored in transparent acrylic card cases, about a dozen in total.
"My god, are you a dog?!"
Thomas, the rich guy who had previously asked to buy a gun, lay on the ground weeping, while MaJack let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He had no idea how to describe his feelings. Everyone was here to gamble, what the hell was the difference between him and a wholesaler?
"What?" Ma Jieke casually picked up a card, his words dripping with irritation: "Is this thing really that valuable? I don't know anything about football. If you do, could you explain it to me?"
"Fuck! What do you say, buddy?!" He took it with teary eyes, swallowing hard.
"This 99-stamp silver brochure of Mbappe costs $5000 each."
"And this folded Bellingham, you absolutely can't buy it for less than $8000."
"Take a look at this too, Messi 2018 World Cup Legends Special Card, under $10,000, I'll buy as many as you have."
"The most expensive one is this one, a black folded jersey with Haaland's signature and cut-out details. The last time I saw it on eBay, the seller listed it for $27,000!"
"That's already 50,000, bro. Add in the remaining rare cards, and the total value will at least double again—"
times. "
Upon hearing his final offer, everyone fell into an indescribable void.
Finally, Thomas couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and he didn't seem to be joking: "Listen to me, buddy, get out of the slums as soon as the show's recording is over, or you'll be hunted down."
"Uh...no, no, not at all." Ma Jieke laughed nonchalantly and put the trading cards back into the metal box.
Including previous earnings, I only made a small profit of a dozen or so dollars. In Los Angeles, that amount of money wouldn't even buy half a house.
Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were completely driven mad.
"Tonight, tonight, you're doomed!"
"Are you a dog?! Are you a dog?! Are you a dog?!"
"I'm numb, guys. I'm really numb. I feel like life has no meaning."
Grace never expected that the homeless man she randomly picked would earn over $100,000 in a single day by opening a storage locker.
Such a record is unparalleled in any previous season of the show. The highest profit record I can recall dates back to 3 years ago, when a contestant, through incredible luck, opened a safe and found several gold bars, estimated to be worth around $7.
"OK, the match is over." Facing the camera, with majestic background music playing behind her, her voice was extremely excited: "I know everyone's gone crazy right now, and deep down I am too, but that's the charm of 'Store Treasure Hunt.' As Forrest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Don't worry about the rankings anymore. Team Sharks swept the field with an overwhelming advantage, and our King of Snatchers, Jack, deservedly became the MVP!"
"I believe that what he gained was not only a resounding victory, but also a major turning point in his life and destiny."
"To hell with all the doubts and ridicule, now is the victor's moment of glory."
"Follow the live stream and watch 'Warehouse Treasure Hunt King,' and cast your vote for your favorite."
"I'm Jewelry Sister, and tomorrow at the same time, the challenge is upgraded! Big announcement!"
"We're heading to a private hangar in the north of the city to open the real mega-blind box!"
"This live stream has come to an end. Goodbye, everyone! Love you all, love you all, love you all!"
The scene freezes on Grace kissing the camera with her lips. After delivering that long monologue, she was so exhausted that she was almost fainting.
Holy crap, a blind box opening in the hangar? Ma Jieke almost couldn't hold back when he heard her announcement.
This is nothing like the small-scale operations of storage lockers; we need to quickly find a way to exchange more cash.
With that in mind, he immediately told his family to move all of today's spoils into Max's RV.
Items like pure copper faucets, microwave ovens, air fryers, and cosmetics can only be sold gradually; they can't be cleared out all at once.
After putting everything away, Ma Jie put the valuable box of sports cards into his bag, intending to go find those rich guys, who all seemed quite interested in it.
