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

Even after what just happened, their drinking party went on. It did not end because of the interruption.

Neptune was aware of the article once the media posted it.

"Gu Ding, the guy you just let go recorded us in secret and sent it to the media. Now that the media has published it and the video has revealed our location, should I block it?"

"Don't worry about it. Exposing ourselves isn't that bad. Biggie's bounty price is seriously underwhelming for his level of combat effectiveness. Not only Biggie but the rest of the crew. A few small battles will help them raise their bounty price." Gu Ding actually enjoyed being hunted because the pressure made the journey feel more real. Entering the Cosmic Sea without encountering any enemies was not what he wanted.

News of Gu Ding's crew's appearance on Probrand soon spread because of the media's article and video.
