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

Having heard some news about the man with scriptural tattoos, Gu Ding asked Elsa for more information about him.

It turned out that he was a man who seemed to be in his fifties or sixties, and he had grizzled hair. In Elsa's words, he was not very tall and was only about half the size of a Viking man. Besides having scriptural tattoos on his body, the man had numerous scars that had been left behind by previous battles. Nevertheless, the most special thing he had was his eyes that turned gold during battle. Elsa had gone against him more than once, and each time she saw the man's eyes turn gold, she lost her combat effectiveness. That was why she thought the man might be able to beat her father.

The fact that the man's eyes would turn gold in battle caught Gu Ding's attention. That was because Lilliath's eyes also turned gold whenever she initiated Pupillary Abilities. Gu Ding suspected that the man might be related to Lilliath.
