Hans glanced at Li Du and said quietly, ”Sh*t, why are you still bidding?”
Li Du looked at the people around him collectedly. He then crossed his arms, and use his right finger to point at the corner of the storage unit. He secretly gave a nod.
Hans switched on his flashlight and went in to look. After returning, he stopped saying anything.
The auctioneer stretched his arms and said, ”Great—the price is at 150, 150, 150. What about 175, 175, 175 dollars?”
Li Du rubbed his nose again. When Clyne was about to raise his hand to bid, Little Cerci shouted, ”Two hundred! Me, representing the Cercis!”
The auctioneer pointed at Little Cerci and said, ”Alright, we have 200 here, then what about 225? 225, 225, 225?”
Clyne shook his head and left. Hans whistled, and Li Du munched on a chicken thigh while the others were hesitant. Some were considering to make a move, but no one was bidding.
The auctioneer called ”200 dollars” three times then waved and said, ”Sold, for two hundred—this belongs to you now buddy.”
Little Cerci nodded his head happily, then looked at Li Du and mocked, ”Hey, Chinaman, why aren’t you bidding?”
”It’s full of trash, why would I continue bidding?” Li Du asked. ”Only fools would try to fight for this.”
Once he finished, Li Du went away and walked to the next storage unit.
Clyne, who had placed a bid, said to Little Cerci, ”Hey man, this unit only has a TV that could sell for about two hundred dollars—everything else in it is trash. Getting it for a hundred would have been okay, but two hundred made it a waste of time.”
This was what Li Du had told him.
Little Cerci was infuriated. ”Of course I know. I just didn’t want those two b*stards taking this unit from me. D*mn it, where did you come from? I can tell you know your way around.”
Clyne shrugged. ”I’ve just started in this line. We’ll get to know each other in the future.”
Hearing that he had just started treasure hunting, Little Cerci said, ”Since you’re just starting out, you should try to gain more experience with storage units. How about I sell you this unit for 200?”
Clyne shook his head. ”Sorry—even if I’m new, it doesn’t mean that I’m a fool. Spending a day of effort, and two hundred dollars, for this trash unit? Forget it.”
The other treasure hunters around them started laughing.
”Cerci, you’ve been mocked by an amateur.”
”Don’t think everyone is an idiot.”
”That’s what the Cercis are—and they’re always trying to play tricks on people.”
”Am I the only one who thinks that this rookie and Big Fox are connected somehow?”
After hearing this last comment, Hans and Li Du did not make any moves for the next two storage units. Instead, Clyne participated in the bids. He would take the initial bid from the auctioneer. If anyone raised the price, he would give up.
With that, two storage units landed in the hands of the other treasure hunters.
The last storage unit had some new toys, but they did not have a lot of value. If it were not for his promise to the welfare center, he would have had no interest in this storage unit.
The unit was well organized. From the entrance, not many things were exposed. Treasure hunters were more hesitant toward these types of units because they were difficult to appraise.
