Chapter 222

Early the next morning, Gu Ding had just woken up and was about to go back to sleep when he heard Neptune's teasing voice. "Hey, wake up. I've got good news."

"What good news?" Gu Ding flipped over and sat up. He knew very well that once Neptune spoke, it would be impossible for him to sleep in because Neptune would keep nagging him.

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

"I'm too lazy to guess. Am I the only one who increased? What about the others? "Gu Ding walked barefooted to the bathroom and began to wash up.

"No, only your bounty has increased. Lili and the others haven't changed. They haven't been involved in anything during this period. They were at most onlookers on Jerr. Ayesha and Tagore just stood there and didn't do anything. Lili and the others didn't even get off the spaceship. The surveillance cameras couldn't even see their faces, "Neptune explained somewhat speechlessly.

"Alright, is there any other news besides me?" Gu Ding asked.

"Yes, Kohld Blood attacked the Sector Lord of the Scarlet Universe a few days ago, causing him to die from serious injuries. The Sector Lord is a Peak Rank-13 Gene Body powerhouse. He's also a 1-star monster with demigod combat effectiveness. Because of this incident, his bounty has skyrocketed to seven billion Universe Credits. Besides him, there are three other people on his ship with a bounty of more than a billion Universe Credits. Two of them are Peak Rank-13 powerhouses, and the other is a demigod. This time, the bounty is more than ten billion Universe Credits. "

Hearing this news, Gu Ding was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did they say why he attacked the Sector Lord?"

"Someone on Skynet revealed that the Sector Lord likes to play with women and built a castle on an isolated planet to imprison the women he likes. Photos of the castle have been dug up, but it was already empty when the photos were taken, "Neptune said as he projected several photos.

It was a lonely castle with no other buildings around it. From a distance, it seemed that there was only one building on the entire planet, and there was no port at all.

Gu Ding looked up but did not comment.

"Kohld Blood really thinks of himself as a law enforcement officer. I've looked at some of his actions since his debut. Most of the time, he's been fighting crime. There were a few times when they clashed with the military, but it was always the military who took the initiative. But this time, he had indeed gone a little overboard. Sector Lords were usually directly appointed by the Federation Government. If there was evidence to prove that the other party had committed a crime, they could actually report it. Basically, if there was a report, the Realm Lord would immediately be suspended from his duties and investigated. If you kill a realm master, you'll be classified as a terrorist by the Federal Government and become a member of the Dark Sectors. "Neptune voiced his opinion.

"He's a stubborn person. It's obvious that he withdrew from the military back then because he felt that the military couldn't give him the justice he wanted. That was why he had formed a pirate crew and named it the Adjudicators because pirates could do whatever they wanted without having to follow any rules. He's the captain, so he's the one who sets the rules. "Gu Ding could roughly understand Kohld Blood's thoughts. He did not make any further comments because, in his opinion, everyone's different experiences meant that they were destined to have different ways of living. Kohld Blood chose justice, while Gu Ding chose to protect. In essence, there was no right or wrong between them.

After washing up, Gu Ding was the first to arrive at the small living room. Biggie was busy in the kitchen.

Not long after, everyone except Robert came out one after another. Biggie's breakfast was also ready.

"I'll now announce a piece of good news." Neptune's voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, he projected a bounty.

"Wow, it increased by two billion in one go!" Ayesha exclaimed enviously.

"I told you it wouldn't exceed three billion." Liliath shrugged.

After breakfast, Gu Ding returned to his room to practice refining medicine. As for the others, they were busy with their own things to do.

At noon, Neptune interrupted Gu Ding's medicine refinement because he had an appointment with Rolan to go to Old George Tavern.

The group was about to go out for lunch when Neptune called out to them. "Wait for Robert. He's done with his initial transformation."

As Neptune spoke, a giant robot nearly five meters tall appeared in front of them with heavy footsteps.

"Robert?" Everyone watched in disbelief as the little robot, which was less than half a meter tall, suddenly turned into a giant.

"Hello, everyone. This is the highest I can go. Any higher and I'll hit the spaceship's ceiling." Robert seemed to think that the robot was still too small.

"I think it looks cool!" Gu Ding had always been interested in mechanical things.

"I still think it's cute like before." Liliath gave a different opinion.

"I think it's weird …" Biggie was not used to it. He usually looked down at people, but now he suddenly had to look up.

"I finally see a guy bigger than my dad. It's a pity he's not human. Otherwise, I could bring him back for my dad to see." Ayesha's first reaction was different from everyone else's.

After disembarking and having lunch, the group entered Old George Tavern.

The tavern had just opened. Old George looked energetic and recognized Gu Ding. "You're the kid who drank milca yesterday. Do you still want milca today?"

"Yes, old man!" Gu Ding grinned. He had thought that the tavern owner might not recognize him. Although business was slow at the moment, the tavern would always be full at night, so it was hard to remember which customers had ordered what.

"What about the others?" Old George looked at the huge Biggie.

"I'll just have a glass of absinthe." Biggie touched the back of his head and hesitated for a moment before ordering it.

"It has a unique taste. Young people don't like it very much." Old George smiled and looked at the others.

Absinthe was a bitter wine. Usually, people of a certain age would order it to warn themselves to control their drinking. In fact, after the bitter taste, it would slowly turn sweet. Some people who were very experienced in life also liked this wine because it also implied that life was a process of bitterness followed by sweetness. Only by putting in hard work would he be able to reap the rewards he wanted.

Everyone except Robert ordered their own drinks, including Tagore, but he chose the same milca as Gu Ding.

Not long after everyone started drinking, two people came in through the door. One of them was a tall man with a scar on his face. It was Roland, whom Gu Ding had made an appointment with. Beside him was a woman with colorful hair whom Gu Ding knew. She was Carole, whom he had met in Monster Paradise.

"What a crowd …" Roland did not expect Gu Ding to call the entire crew.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tagore, who was leaning over the counter and drinking milca with his head down, raised his head. When he saw Roland with the scar on his face, he jumped down and stood in front of Gu Ding. He arched his back and his hair stood on end as he growled at Roland.

"Hello, talking kitten. We just met yesterday. Don't you remember me?" Roland said as he pulled out his cat teaser.

Gu Ding immediately snatched the cat teaser from his hand and whispered in Tagore's ear, "Don't provoke him with this. He hates things that cats like, including cat teasers, string balls, and rolls of paper …"

"No wonder … I was wondering why he suddenly went berserk yesterday." Roland finally found the reason. It was not the brand of the cat teaser, but that he did not like the cat teaser at all.

"Gu Ding, do you know them?" Tagore asked gloomily.

"This is the uncle who bought me a drink yesterday," Gu Ding explained. "As for the other beautiful lady, we met in Monster Paradise."

"The guy with the scar on his face sneaked up on me yesterday," Tagore complained to Gu Ding.

"Sneaked up on you?!" Gu Ding looked at Roland, puzzled.

"Don't make it sound so serious. I just trapped you in my exclusive domain and didn't let you leave." Roland's explanation did not make things clear at all. Instead, it made Gu Ding even more puzzled.

"Biggie, you remember my voice, don't you?" Carole walked over to Biggie.

"You're … the one who pulled me into the dream!" Biggie froze for a moment and immediately reacted.

"That's right. The two of us are the delivery men for this meeting. I'm in charge of delivering the gift, and the uncle is in charge of safety. That's why he trapped this kitten to prevent it from tipping off the rest of you and causing panic, "Carole explained.

"Can't you just come to us normally and use that technique on Biggie?" Gu Ding was also a little speechless.

"First of all, you might not agree with our method. After I use this move, his death rate is extremely high. It's almost 99.9%. Second, if he comes to you directly and explains the situation, he won't feel enough psychological pressure and may want to quit halfway through when he encounters greater difficulties. Making an attack will put enough pressure on him because he will have the will to live. "Carole gave a more superficial and reasonable explanation.

Gu Ding finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Who's Gu Ding?!" Just as everyone was happily having a drink party, a discordant voice suddenly came from the entrance of the tavern.
