Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

Irving happily packed up the gold bars.

Before he could even head to the next container for auction, several wine collectors approached him and began bidding against Irving.

Although there were more than 30 people participating in the auction, many of them were people who wanted to reap the benefits without doing anything.

These people hand over the opportunity to open blind boxes to others, while they wait for others to open them and then buy back the good items, making a sure profit.

Owen carefully observed his surroundings and realized that there were only about ten real professional treasure hunters in total.

Seeing how much Kyrie Irving had gained this time, many of the treasure hunters watching from the sidelines cast envious glances at him.

Even the auction manager couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

This newcomer, participating in a container auction for the first time, had incredible luck!

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary shipping container actually hides a safe in the innermost corner?

Furthermore, there was a gold bar left behind by the owner inside the safe...

The auction manager made a brief remark before perking up.

It was 16:30 PM, and the auction for the second green container was about to begin.

Perhaps it's because something good came out of the previous container.

The second green shipping container was crowded with people.

Even some merchants who originally only intended to recycle second-hand goods seemed to have their emotions ignited and were eager to get their hands on the second container.

Owen hummed a little tune as he approached the second container.

Seeing that a sufficient number of people had gathered, the auction organizers began to introduce the information about the green shipping containers beside them:

"Attention everyone, this container is different from the usual containers."

"This container came from a Russian cargo ship. It was intercepted and seized by customs because contraband was found on board. According to laws and regulations, it will be handled by the Miami Port Authority, so you don't need to worry about ownership issues..."

Upon hearing that the container originated from Russia, many of the treasure hunters present lit up.

It is well known that containers from Russia are likely to contain good products.

Compared to Asian containers, Russian containers are guaranteed to be profitable if you can secure a bid.

Of course, this is on the premise that the bidding price for the container is not high.

Seeing that many people were interested, the auction manager smiled slightly and continued his introduction:

"Moreover, based on the registration information, it can now be confirmed that the original owner of this container was an arms enthusiast, and it should contain some arms in good condition."

"The starting bid for this container is $1000, and each bid must be at least $100!"

As he spoke, the administrator gestured to the staff member next to him to open the green shipping container.

As the container doors slowly opened.

The group discovered that the container was filled with all sorts of green military supply boxes, and in the very back corner of the container, there was even a huge wooden crate, which clearly contained some good stuff.

Upon seeing the huge wooden crate at the very back, Green's eyes immediately lit up, even though he was still angry.

"Such a huge wooden crate? Could it contain a tank?! Oh! Shit!! If I really did put a tank in it, wouldn't that be a huge windfall?"

"Green, I think you've got dog shit in your head." Before Green could finish speaking, the bearded man next to him sneered.

"Tank? Have you ever seen a tank that small? I think that wooden crate is just misleading people."

I think so too.

A blonde woman standing next to Irving nodded, crossed her arms, and shook her head: "It's like that container from the Middle East I photographed last time. It looked like it was full of missiles, but when I took the picture, I realized, 'Shit!' What missiles? It was all fireworks!'"

"I think this container is not much different from that Middle Eastern container. All these things together are worth at most $5000."

I think so too.

"Agreed."

"..."

Hearing the people around him say the same thing, Owen scratched his head and took a closer look at the container.

Using his [valuation] skill, he discovered that the container in front of him was actually more valuable than the one he had just bid on!

The green supply crates piled up in front were filled with all sorts of firearms!

Prices range from $200 to $2000!

All these green supply boxes together are worth at least $10000!

As for the large wooden crate hidden in the very back corner of the container, although Irving didn't know what was inside, its value was as high as $30000-$40000, so it was obviously a valuable item!

From this perspective, as long as the bidding price is below $40,000, I can win it without hesitation!

Although profits will decrease if the bid exceeds $40,000, you can still make some money. As long as the bid price is below $50,000, you can make a profit without losing money!

Just as Irving was filled with excitement, the auction resumed.

"3000!"

As soon as the administrator finished speaking, the blonde woman raised her hand and raised the price to $3000.

Green then raised his hand, "$4000."

The blonde woman glanced at him. "$5000."

The bearded man frowned, hesitated, and then raised his hand. "$6000."

The price easily defied everyone's previous consensus.

Seeing the bearded man raise the price to $6000, Green and the blonde woman standing to the side immediately withdrew from the competition.

For them, although the container came from Russia, it was likely to contain something of value.

However, they have all suffered losses in terms of weaponry.

Rather than taking a gamble, the two prefer to play it safe.

"$6000 for the first time!"

Seeing that no one was willing to spend money to bid anymore, the auction managers suddenly became somewhat unwilling to give up. After the first countdown, they began to incite the hesitant treasure hunters.

"According to big data, the break-even probability for containers from Russia is a full 65%. Are there any other bidders?"

Upon hearing this, many treasure hunters hesitated.

"$6000 for the second time!"

Upon hearing the second countdown, Irving, who had been secretly waiting, immediately raised his hand and made his bid, "$6100!"

"Nice! Mr. Irving has offered $6100. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"

Seeing Irving interfere again, the bearded man standing to the side frowned, glanced at him, and then raised his hand, "$6500."

Irving remained unfazed and continued to raise the price, "$7000."

Seeing the bearded man's face darken, Owen chuckled and shrugged. "The last container made a lot of money, which means I was lucky. I think there will be good stuff in this container too."

The bearded man ignored Irving and continued raising the price, "$7500!"

$8000.

"$8100!"

$8500.

"Shit! I don't believe you're that lucky!" The bearded white man, seeing that Irving was going up against him, suspected that Irving was just a newbie and immediately gave up the bidding.
