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

"What is it?" Gu Ding sat up, well aware that once Neptune started talking, he would not be able to sleep in because he would keep nagging until he got up.

"The latest bounty just came out this morning. Guess how much your bounty is." Neptune knew that Gu Ding, as an Interstellar Pirate, would be happy to hear that his bounty had increased.

"I'm too lazy to guess. Am I the only one with an increased bounty? What about the rest?" Gu Ding went into the bathroom barefoot and began to wash up.
