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

Having slaughtered three medium-sized Insect Clans in a row, Guding's Merit Points surged to over seventy million, but according to Sea Emperor's calculations, he still ranked seventh.


Ahead of him were five individuals with Merit Points over a billion, and another nearly reaching a billion. Close behind Guding, an interstellar hunter was also pressing on, with Merit Points already over sixty million.


But for Guding to break through to the Fourth Floor of the Emperor Wanxiang, it wasn't just a simple matter of devouring the life force of the Insect Clan; he also needed the powerful external pressure.


"Medium-sized Insect Clans no longer bring sufficient pressure..." Guding had also recognized this issue, his Emperor Wanxiang's amplification stalled at 999 times, without the slightest progress. "I need to find a large-scale Insect Clan!"
