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 and his crew spent the next two days wandering around and it was soon time for the auction.

Robert spent those two days locked indoors, holing himself him. No one knew what he was working on, he was even ignoring Neptune. He had been keeping himself extremely busy since getting the ingredients from Gu Ding.

In this short span of time, Neptune noticed a number of spaceships touching down at the harbor. Most of them were Interstellar Pirates worth high bounties.

When Gu Ding entered the auction with the three tickets provided by the little old man, he noticed they were given front row seats. Even though it could not compare to a private suite, it was still quite a luxury. Gu Ding loved a lively scene and having a seat at the first row suited him very well.

"This is not bad of the little old man. He gave us such great seats," Gu Ding said with a big grin on his face.
