Nuclear Warhead Cooked in Wine

At the opening ceremony of Sea Blue Star Basic Military Academy, as the representative of the incoming freshmen, Guding proclaimed his grand ambition in front of all the teachers and students: 
"I'm Guding! I'm gonna become the Man with the Highest Bounty in the entire Cosmic Sea!"
--------------------------------------------
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, Guding finds himself thrust into a galaxy of shadowy organizations, political under dealings, and otherworldly forces that lie beyond human comprehension…

The Highest Bounty

Guding's gaze swept around, relieved that Berg and the others hadn't encountered any trouble during his nearly half-hour absence.


The surrounding demigods were also tending to their wounds, so in that half hour, their combat power hadn't recovered much.


Guding looked up and fixed his gaze on the execution platform, where Dokot still sat unharmed, which somewhat eased his mind. Then, his gaze shifted to the platform not far in front of him.


Elizabeth's face was expressionless, while the Congress President sitting to her right was full of coldness, looking quite displeased. Quinn, on the other hand, was eyeing him with a slight squint.


Guding unabashedly scrutinized her as well, a trace of doubt arising in his mind about her inaction during his disappearance of nearly half an hour, "Could it really be that she's not taking us seriously? Or does she have some other trick up her sleeve?"
