Chapter 133 It's reasonable for a homeless person to go out and fly a plane, right?
Strictly speaking, this is indeed an airplane.
It has a head, wings, wheels, and a tail fin, but no spare parts.
From the engine to the turbine, from the fuel pump to the fuel tank, from the hydraulic pump to the electric motor, and from the control valve to the instrument panel.
Nothing was left behind that could be disassembled and sold separately.
What's even more infuriating is that it doesn't even have a base; all that's left is a bare casing.
I'm just saying, is it really necessary to tear everything down like this? Are you dismantling an airplane or performing surgery?!
Faced with the wreckage of the plane, Duncan Morton was so angry that his eyes turned green, and he unconsciously gasped for breath.
He couldn't catch his breath, staggered a few steps, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"This...this...this isn't my fault, he fell down on his own."
Seeing this horrifying scene, Ma Jie was sweating profusely.
Good grief, is it really worth it for you to record a show like this? You've fallen twice, one after the other, and you're still so temperamental?
Even professional scammers would have to address you as a senior.
Fortunately, his companions knew what was wrong with him and quickly rummaged through their clothes for medicine bottles to feed him.
Upon seeing this, the production team quickly dialed the 911 hotline.
Regardless of whether his condition has improved, we absolutely cannot allow him to continue participating in recordings and live broadcasts.
At the same time, the live stream chat began to flood with comments.
"My God, won't this cause someone to die?"
"If someone dies, you can't blame anyone else; he made his own choice."
Jack: Working with me is like working with electricity!
Due to the suddenness of the event, the auction once again came to a standstill.
The matter was only resolved when the ambulance arrived and took the person away.
Grace looked helplessly at the camera: "Sigh, today has really been an eventful day. I hope nothing else goes wrong."
There's no way around it; when the cannons roar, gold pours in.
For the production team, this is a matter of life and death, and they simply can't afford to delay anything.
The good news is that it has generated several trending topics, from the homeless man's amazing predictions when digging for treasure to the contestants fighting on live stream, and the treasure appraisal expert fainting on the spot.
It's easy to imagine that if this season were edited into a program, its viewership would likely break all previous records.
Amid exclamations of surprise, another hangar was opened.
There were no planes or supply crates this time. In front of us was a Lamborghini undergoing repairs, with the windows closed, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Around the car, there were many repair tools and several boxes of spare parts.
It looks like one of the older models, but an old Lamborghini is still a Lamborghini, and driving it around to pick up girls is incredibly cool.
"Wow, this is exactly what I've been looking for!" Max was immediately captivated by the car, swooning over it. "Look at that muscular American style, with its prominent curves! It's practically the Dwayne 'The Rock' of the automotive world! If I'm not mistaken, this one should be from 1970..."
The Jarama GT sports car, which was produced annually, has been discontinued for decades. I never expected to see it here.
"Wow, those lines are so sexy, I really want to take it for a test drive."
Listening to her cheesy description, Ma Jieke retorted, "Is it really necessary? It's just a car."
"What do you mean by a car? This is my dream car. If it were possible, I would marry it."
"And then, how are you going to have sex?"
"Get lost! There's no point in talking to someone with such a filthy mind!"
Once the observation period ended, Grace said with a smile, "How about it, guys? That's enough information, right? Starting bid: $3000. Bidding begins!"
Five thousand dollars!
"Eight thousand cuts!"
"Ten thousand dollars!"
For something that can be seen and touched, treasure hunters naturally have no worries, and the price instantly soared to five figures.
Strictly speaking, this car is a collector's item.
According to the classification of American car collectors, a car must be 25 to 30 years old to be considered a vintage car.
Cars older than 30 years, especially those with commemorative significance such as the first-generation Ford Mustang, can be upgraded to classic cars.
However, the most impressive are classic cars, which in a narrow sense refer to vehicles produced between 1919 and 1930, almost a century ago.
According to market prices, if this Lamborghini is in good condition, it would be worth at least $25.
However, the production team thoughtfully placed it in the repair area to remind you that it was a defective car and had to be repaired before you could drive it away.
As for how much it will cost to fix it, that's the core of the game.
Judging from the exterior of the car, there is no obvious collision or damage, so the problem must be inside.
It could be a clogged carburetor, aging wiring, engine damage, or even just a simple spark plug replacement to drive it away successfully.
It all comes down to sharp eyesight, guts, and a bit of luck. You could either lose everything or make a fortune.
The shouts at the scene were incredibly enthusiastic, already reaching 15,000 from 10,000, and there was still no sign of them stopping.
Seeing that Ma Jieke was observing coldly without participating in the bidding, Max nudged him with his elbow: "What are you thinking about, kid? Help me make a decision. To be honest, I'm thinking of making a move."
"Do you have money, sis?"
"Of course I will. I've calculated it all. From yesterday's auction proceeds, I'll get at least ten thousand dollars."
At this point, she looked a little embarrassed: "Adding the education fund I've saved for Pudding, it should be around 15,000 dollars. If it's really not enough, you can lend me some more."
"Oh, come on." Ma Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid, especially don't gamble with the child. Save this money to improve your life, find Fanny a better private school, and keep her away from those black kids in the underprivileged communities. That's more important than anything else."
"Oh well, fine." After being scolded on the spot, Max quickly gave up the idea.
The auction was nearing its end when a wealthy man successfully bid $23,000 for the entire hangar.
After all, in addition to the car, the auto repair tools and spare parts are also included.
But there was no time to care about anything else. Brother Fu couldn't wait to walk to his car, open the door, and get in.
As soon as I sat in the driver's seat, my head started buzzing, like I'd been hit with a hammer.
The reason is that the most crucial central control system was completely dismantled by someone.
I quickly got out of the car and opened the hood, and sure enough, the engine was gone.
He immediately lost his temper, grabbed an adjustable wrench from the ground, and swung it hard at the windshield.
Crack! The entire piece of glass shattered explosively, startling the onlookers who collectively took a step back.
"See? This is what happens when you become a gambler." Looking at Max, whose face was ashen, MaJack said without any politeness, "If I had lent you the money just now, you would be the one going crazy right now. Remember the lesson that didn't happen this time, because next time, it might really happen."
"My God, don't smash it, buddy! You can still sell the car body for money, right?"
Jimmy, who was watching from the sidelines, was greatly shocked. "Rich guy is rich guy. He throws out more than 20,000 dollars and it's just a bang."
Can you accuse the production team of deliberately setting a trap for you?
How do you explain the fact that someone made a fortune of $100,000 opening blind boxes yesterday?
While the rest of the contestants might not know, the production team must have been ecstatic. The show was packed with unexpected and hilarious moments, all of which were genuine performances from the contestants – no acting could have been this convincing.
Your losses are your problem; the show should continue as usual.
As everyone arrived at the door of yet another hangar, Grace announced, "Attention all treasure hunters! This is the last treasure vault of this season's 'Warehouse Treasure Hunt,' which means you only have one last chance to bid. Those who haven't yet found anything, please be even more enthusiastic; maybe the next lucky winner will be you!"
"Well then, without further ado, let's see what kind of treasure is hidden inside."
The large steel door of the hangar slowly rose, revealing only one item: a helicopter partially covered by a tarpaulin.
No one could tell the exact condition of the cabin, but the exposed tail fin, propeller, and landing gear looked fine, though a bit worn, they were very clean.
At the same time, a long string of highlighted information appeared in front of Ma Jieke.
Robinson R22 two-seat light helicopter.
Equipped with a Lycoming 0-320 piston engine (124 horsepower).
Maximum range: approximately 300 miles (480 kilometers).
Cruising speed: 110-120 knots (approximately 200-220 km/h).
Fuel consumption: Approximately 8-10 gallons/hour (30-38 liters/hour).
Applications: Flight training, private short-haul flights, aerial photography, etc.
Disadvantages: Higher maintenance costs, and piston engines are slightly less reliable than turbine engines.
New price: Approximately $250,000-$300,000 USD (base configuration, excluding options and taxes).
Used price: Approximately $120,000-$180,000 USD (depending on year, flight hours, and maintenance condition).
Seeing the final price list, Ma Jieke truly felt his scalp tingle.
Holy crap, production team, you're really going all out!
Even under the most extreme conditions, this aircraft is worth $12!
That's a steal at $12! If I could get my hands on this, whether I tried to cash it out or use it as a personal vehicle, it would be absolutely amazing.
However, the latter seems a bit unrealistic at the moment, because he doesn't have a pilot's license and it's unlikely that he can afford to buy a parking tarmac.
Los Angeles is a place where land is incredibly expensive; in good locations, parking spaces are more expensive than cars, let alone helicopter parking.
Forget it, let's not think about that too much for now, let's get the stuff done first!
I have no job and no education, so living in a tent and receiving relief meals is perfectly reasonable for me to travel and fly a plane, right?
When Grace announced the starting price, surprisingly few people raised their hands to bid.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly still caught up in their previous emotions.
Antique expert Duncan spent $1 to bid on an airplane that could only be sold by weight.
The rich guy from earlier had it even worse; he spent $2.3 and only bought a car shell.
Now you're telling me this is the real thing?
Anyone who believes that is a complete fool!
