Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Everyone looked over in shock.

However, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

A murmur of whispers drifted over:

"Mr. Arendt must be out of his mind to spend this much money on that piece of wasteland."

"Yes, the Thompson family has been looking for a buyer for many years, and the price has dropped by more than half from a few years ago. It's not easy to finally sell it now."

"The Thompson family has turned that land upside down, even drilling hundreds of meters underground. If they find any gold, I'll take off my clothes and run three laps around this auction hall right now!" A red-faced fat man shouted, raising his wine glass, which drew laughter from the people around him.

"Hahaha! Old Jack, you said it yourself, we all remember it!"

At this moment, when Mr. Jensen heard that little Arendt had actually bid for the hot potato, fearing that he might change his mind, he quickly counted down three times, each time saying "three, two, one," and then immediately struck the gavel.

"Good, $500,000 sold! Congratulations to our Mr. Arendt on purchasing this treasure trove. We wish him success in finding gold and other rare minerals soon!"

"Haha, I wish Mr. Arendt would find a gold mine!" A chorus of sarcastic blessings rang out from the audience.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Arendt!" someone even whistled.

Although everyone offered their blessings, their expressions were exactly the same as looking at a fool; it was clear at a glance that they absolutely did not believe that anything good could be dug out from there.

Su Wanqing shrugged. If we say these words of blessing now, you might not be happy if something is actually dug up later.

Meanwhile, Victor was slapping his thigh and laughing so hard he was doubled over: "Hahaha, little Arendt, I wish you good luck, I wish you find a mine in that wasteland, hahaha! If your father knew you spent 500,000 to buy this joke, he'd probably jump out of his coffin in anger!"

Little Arendt snorted when he heard this, and looked at Su Wanqing: "Oh, dear Su, you see..." He had just acted impulsively and wanted to listen to Su Wanqing, but now that he was being ridiculed, he felt restless.

Deputy Commander Zhao patted little Arend on the shoulder:

"You just wait. Su is a well-known 'human detector' in our country. She's helped us find important rare mineral veins several times before. She's more capable than any of your American geological exploration machines."

Little Arend breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter, I trust Miss Su. I believe whatever she says. But even if we can't find it, it's fine. Buying this land for this amount of money is very worthwhile—I plan to raise more cattle and sheep in the future, and that pasture is a good place."

"Little Arend, don't worry, you'll be glad you made this decision. When we go over there, we'll definitely shock the other families." Su Wanqing said seriously. She would dig up the gold mine, and even if she couldn't find anything else valuable, she would definitely get something valuable for little Arend.

Soon, the next items were auctioned off.

"This is a complete Tiffany high jewelry set, including a necklace, earrings, bracelet, and ring, with a Burmese pigeon blood ruby ​​as the centerpiece. The starting bid is $200,000!"

"Alright, $350,000, deal!"

"This is a Rolex Daytona chronograph from 1970, with a rare dial. Starting bid: $50,000!"

"Alright, $200,000, deal!"

Deputy Commander Zhao and the others could only gasp in astonishment—just one watch sold for two hundred thousand US dollars? That's insane!

Su Wanqing squinted her eyes and thought, "Good, good, good. I'll steal the watch and all those valuables in a little while, return them tenfold, and then put them back. I can even upgrade them again."

It would be bad if too many items were lost at the auction, since she could get ten times the value for free anyway.

"A case of twelve bottles of 1982 Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé vintage red wine, starting bid $100,000!"

"Alright, Mr. Arendt Jr. has finalized the deal at three hundred thousand dollars!"

Little Arendt glanced smugly at Viktor, then whispered to Su Wanqing, "I'll get you some when we get back."

Su Wanqing nodded. Red wine? The grapes in her space were all ripe, could she get some and upgrade it? She didn't have any particular taste in red wine, but she thought it was too expensive.

In short, today's auction taught all Chinese people a lesson—the world of the rich is so crazy that these things can actually fetch such prices.

Finally, it was time for another item that caught Su Wanqing's interest. No, to be precise, as soon as the item was brought out, the entire Chinese inspection team's breathing quickened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the highlights of this auction—a complete private medium-sized arsenal!"

The shipment includes some of the most advanced small arms available today, including 500 M16A1 assault rifles, 200 M60 general-purpose machine guns, 200 M79 grenade launchers, 3,000 Colt Python revolvers, and even two boxes of C4 plastic explosives and 2,000 hand grenades! All of this weaponry is legally registered and has all the necessary paperwork. The starting bid is one million US dollars!

Su Wanqing never expected to see this kind of thing at an auction—arms being sold openly? Wow!

Su Wanqing's space upgrade needs these weapons to fill the data.

After all, her space upgrade requires at least 50,000 weapons and 20 tons of ammunition, and these numerous weapons are just the right amount to fill the gap. It's just a pity that the upgrade materials can't be ten times that amount.

Victor snorted—they came because they'd heard about this shipment of weapons, and the key was that some of them were highly powerful. He immediately said, "I'll offer $1.05 million!"

Arendt Jr. immediately chimed in, "Two million dollars!"

As the price war escalated, the shop owner, Jason, blushed with excitement: "Raise the price! Add more! These are rare, powerful weapons on the market, excellent value for money!"

Deputy Commander Zhao and Zhou Yanshen originally wanted to see if they could buy these weapons, but after seeing the price soar to three million US dollars... they both lost interest.

These weapons... are damn expensive.

However, they are all the latest weapons, and they are very powerful, so the higher price is definitely worth it.

"Hey, if we could take some of these weapons back to study, we could build them too!" Xiao Wang said enviously.

"Yes, that's exactly what we need right now. The mainstream equipment in China is still based on Soviet designs, but the United States has already reached this level, even having individual rocket launchers..." Deputy Commander Zhao was extremely envious.

Zhou Yanshen clenched his fists as well. If they had had these advanced weapons for the previous mission... he wouldn't have been seriously injured, and so many of his comrades wouldn't have died.

"The key issue is that the United States' explosives technology is already so advanced, while we are still far behind..."

"But this price is too high..."
