Looking over the storage unit, aside from a broken treadmill, there was only a box lying overturned on the floor.

The auctioneer frowned precisely because the box had tipped over.

Because the box had accidentally fallen over, everything inside was visible at a glance.

It was a pile of children's toys, but their appearance made one thing clear.

They had all been played with and were broken beyond repair.

It could be said that, whether in terms of age or condition, these toys barely even counted as items anymore. Calling them garbage or scrap would not have been an exaggeration.

Other than that, the storage unit was completely empty, without a single other item.

So far, this unit contained the fewest items of any storage unit being auctioned that day.

The roll-up door was soon lowered again.

Following the rules, the auctioneer gritted his teeth and announced the unit's starting price.

Something strange happened: not a single treasure hunter placed a bid.

It was not that they did not want to bid. There were simply far too few things in the unit.

Having few items would have been one thing, but everything was laid bare in plain sight. There was practically nothing to speculate about, so why would they bid?

They could tell from the mouth of the overturned box that it was filled with old, discarded children's toys.

As for the treadmill, it was obviously broken. They were supposed to spend 300 Mi Jin on a unit like this? What were they thinking?

Under normal circumstances, a storage unit like this would have started at around 1 Mi Jin.

Even then, there was no guarantee anyone would buy it.

After all, cleaning out a storage unit also took time.

Of course, this unit would be very easy to clean
