Nuclear Warhead Cooked in Wine

It is an era of artificial superintelligences, interstellar travel, gene medicine, and virtual reality worlds. Far into Earth's future, 15-year-old Gu Ding is a student of Cerulean Military Academy by day, and tavern waiter by night. His ambition: Become the space pirate with the highest bounty offered by the Universal Federation Government. With the help of Neptune, a neonate super-intelligence, Gu Ding finds himself thrust into a galaxy of shadowy organizations, political underdealings, and otherworldly forces that lie beyond human comprehension…

The Highest Bounty

Although Blood Sac Pirates was a weird name, they were quite a strong unit. Captain Lex and Vice-captain Ulrif both had a Rank 8 Gene Body, and the bounties on their heads were each over ten billion Star Credits. Their military advisor, Alcher, had a Rank 7 Gene Body, and the rest of the members in the group all had gene bodies of at least Rank 6. The strength of the group was within the top twenty of the Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation.

However, this team's luck was not good. Every time anything significant occurred, they would arrive late due to various reasons. This caused them to be underexposed in the media, and not many people knew of them.

"Hey, shouldn't you guys jump in to help? Your vice-captain seems to be getting badly thrashed." Gu Ding pointed at the two people engaged in fierce combat on the battlefield.

Although the phrase used was "engaged in fierce combat", it was more of Ulrif getting beaten to a pulp.
