#3Chapter 3: Item in Reception - Black Magic Doll
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Wang Ya successfully took over as the boss of the Shark Gang, though he largely achieved this position with the help of the Orange Cat.
Yes, that's right, Wang Ya gave the Orange Cat a new name, Orange Cat.
However, he believed this situation would soon change, as the system's notification sound rang out again.
[Congratulations on completing the hidden mission: Escaping Predicament!]
[You have successfully escaped your current predicament, but a new one is on the horizon. Main mission initiated!]
[Reward: One Manifestation opportunity!]
Wang Ya immediately had members of the Shark Gang bring a large amount of raw meat for the little fellow, the Orange Cat, to eat to its heart's content.
No one knew that the seemingly harmless kitten's true form was an even cuter Bengal tiger.
It needed at least twenty catties of raw meat daily to satisfy this little fellow, but compared to the role it could play, this cost was negligible.
After it finished eating, he had a few members take the Orange Cat to bathe. This almost caused an internal conflict within the Shark Gang until Wang Ya specifically assigned Jiedun, the Shark Gang's top enforcer, to the task, which finally settled things down.
In a room on the second floor of Kendis Bar, Wang Ya stood by the window, looking at the city's other side, a place of dazzling lights and revelry—that was Burnley District, the rich district, the so-called upper class. He would one day set foot there, dressed in a proper suit, surrounded by a constant flow of celebrities.
[Wang Ya]
[Level: D-class personnel (300/1000)]
[Manifestation Points: 698]
[Current Anomalies: SCP-127 - Living Gun (Safe), SCP-247 - Harmless Kitten (Euclid)…]
Note: The D-level here refers to the system's authorization level, with CBAS above it, not the D from 'if there's trouble, call DD'...
Currently, Wang Ya's Foundation level had not yet reached the point where he could exchange for SCP Anomalies. He would need to become a C-class personnel at least to perhaps unlock initial SCP Anomaly exchanges.
Possessing Anomalies could increase Wang Ya's personnel level, which was also related to the Anomaly's class.
Safe (Class I), Euclid (Class II), Keter (Class III), Thaumiel (Class IV).
Having the Living Gun and the Orange Cat gave Wang Ya 300 personnel points; the Living Gun contributed 100 points, and the Orange Cat contributed 200 points.
Next, he only needed to continue manifesting SCP Anomalies to bring Wang Ya's personnel level to C-class, unlocking manifestation exchanges and allowing him to manifest more powerful Anomalies.
However, before that, Wang Ya planned to use the newly acquired random manifestation.
[Random Manifestation successful, acquired SCP-693 - Voodoo Doll]
Seven 18-centimeter humanoid dolls appeared at Wang Ya's feet. Each doll was made from a single piece of string and had onyx eyes, with different forms of clothing, including string-made undershirts and trousers, as well as cloth headscarves or hats.
Wang Ya's eyes lit up. It was this little gadget! If used for certain purposes, it would be remarkably effective.
The next day!
As the headquarters of the Shark Gang, Kendis Bar naturally saw no one outside the Shark Gang dare to enter. The handover ceremony for the new boss began.
Wang Ya felt that becoming the new boss of the Shark Gang required a bit of ceremony, of course, the handover ceremony was secondary; more important was the report on various aspects of the Shark Gang's situation.
"So, we only have ten thousand dollars in liquid funds left, of which eight thousand dollars need to be paid to the Hank Gang, who manage us…"
Wang Ya listened to the report from the somewhat scrawny black old man in front of him. No, he didn't want to listen for another second.
Oh my god!
The huge Shark Gang only received ten thousand dollars in funds a month. Even the poorest part of Bru District, a slum, couldn't possibly have only ten thousand dollars.
With twenty-three members, not to mention collecting protection fees in Bru District, and the illicit bloody trades, organ, and human trafficking, it was impossible to have only ten thousand dollars left.
"Before this, Boss Kendis had already paid ten thousand dollars to the Iron Blood Gang and twenty thousand dollars to the White Eagle Gang…"
The black old man, Gemu, added, secretly glancing at his new boss to confirm his blood pressure was stable before lowering his head.
"Don't tell me they are all superior gangs managing our Shark Gang!"
"To be precise, only the White Eagle Gang manages our Bru District and several nearby districts. It is said that the White Eagle Gang also has some connections with the Cobblepot family!"
Wang Ya's expression subtly changed. The Cobblepot family was not ordinary; they were, in fact, terrifying. This was one of Gotham City's Four Great Families, with businesses spread throughout the city, controlling various sectors of the entire city.
They also represented one of Gotham's big bosses, the Penguin—Oswald Cobblepot!
Wang Ya certainly had no intention of encountering such an existence right now!
"So the Hank Gang and the Iron Blood Gang are just preying on us because they see us as easy targets!"
His voice grew colder and colder.
Many members lowered their heads, not daring to face the wrath of their new boss. Even if he was very young, excessively young even, they, who were used to being submissive, needed a boss, as long as this boss didn't cut their monthly expenses and liquor.
As for that bar girl, she was the only girl at Kendis Bar. Only the highest-ranking enforcer, Jiedun, and Boss Kendis could enjoy her. There used to be another girl, but she was abused to death when entertaining the Hank Gang guys. For this, Boss Kendis was secretly displeased for a long time, but ultimately said nothing!
But that was in the past now. They had a new boss, and as long as the drinks and expenses kept flowing, they didn't care who the boss was!
Almost everyone in Bru District was at the very bottom of society—the old, weak, sick, lazy, decadent. A series of negative emotions and dark deeds appeared here.
No, it should be said that Bru District was even more orderly than the nearby districts, because half of the people were in a daze, too lazy to even commit crimes. Without work or money, they would go to the garbage dump to find food when hungry. The rich district would regularly dump some household waste at the landfill. When dirty, they would go to Finger River to bathe. Life had lost its purpose.
Such people, even thieves and robbers, wouldn't bother with them, and they would stay far away. As ambitious and idealistic members of the Shark Gang, they couldn't become such wastes!
The boss provides food, drinks, and cigarettes. Following the boss is definitely the right choice!!
Meanwhile, the ruthless Jiedun had become a cat slave, with only the Orange Cat in his eyes, constantly teasing it.
Wang Ya didn't speak again, only feeling that by taking over the Shark Gang and becoming the new boss, he might have been a bit short-sighted!
From ten thousand US dollars, eight thousand US dollars were deducted, leaving two thousand. One thousand of that was for daily liquor expenses, the cheapest kind. Six hundred was each member's salary. The mighty boss of the Shark Gang was left with only four hundred dollars to spend in a month.
One hundred of that was even for the bar girl's salary!!
Wang Ya could finally understand why a member said that Kendis's cigar was never finished; he always lit it and put it out, one after another... Poor!!
However, Wang Ya was also doing it to complete that thing...
