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

Gu Ding sat in a lotus position in the corridor in front of Liliath's room. Although a gene enhancer of perfect quality had a success rate of ninety percent and above, there was still a chance of less than one person that the person would end up with long-term side effects. Although Gu Ding did not think Liliath would fall under that one percent, he thought that Lili would feel more at ease with him by her side.

On the other hand, Neptune monitored Liliath's physical condition through her intelligent wristwatch.

The two-hour wait was a long one, and when Gu Ding heard Neptune's words that Lili had evolved successfully, the former's tension was finally released.

Liliath exited her room and found Gu Ding standing up. She happily announced, "I've successfully evolved into a Level 4 Gene Body!"

"Wh… what?!" Gu Ding was stunned when he heard her. "Level 4? Weren't you supposed to evolve into a Level 3?"
