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!"

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…

An even more terrifying event was that the Mother Empress started spawning the moment she awoke.


Less than half an hour after the thunderclap rang out, Guding once again heard the Sea Emperor's voice by his ear.


"The first wave of the Insect Tide is coming, they will arrive in less than ten minutes."
