Chapter 74 The Calamity Squad's Capture Plan Against the Fool Calamity
Chapter 74 The Calamity Squad's Capture Plan Against the Fool Calamity
The Calamity Squad's plan was simple and brutal: mobilize the entire squad and conduct a city-wide manhunt.
After all, they are all calamities, possessing unique abilities, and dealing with calamities is quite simple.
Even though the Foolish Calamity is an S-class calamity, it still cannot eliminate them in a short period of time.
Once they encounter the calamity of foolishness, their battle plans can be brought to their fullest potential.
The five people divided the capital into five areas: east, west, south, and north, with the duke's children assigned to search each area.
The central area, where the royal palace is located and where the nobility reside, is naturally the place where Princess Eve, of high status, is to conduct the search.
Only Su Tu had it even easier than the princess; he simply sat at the reconnaissance team's base, communicating with every member.
As the team leader, he was like a central computer at that moment, coordinating the overall situation.
Even Eve, the princess of the Empire and the leader of the Calamity Squad, is now just an ordinary investigator under him.
With this operational plan, no matter which of the five people being searched discovers the Foolish Calamity, the message can be relayed to Su Tu at the base in the shortest possible time.
Su Tu then used the information he received to formulate a plan and arrange for people to go and provide support.
It can be said that once the Foolish Trick Disaster is discovered, if the perpetrator does not evacuate within a short period of time, he will inevitably be besieged by the five people.
In particular, as the coordinator of the base, Su Tu was unable to leave the base and therefore could not personally provide assistance to the avatar.
For his avatar, this was a battle plan against the calamity of fooling.
Unfortunately, as the coordinator of the base, Su Tu could also act according to his own ideas within this plan.
For example, if someone discovers your avatar and sends you a message, you can choose to suppress the message and not notify other members.
This gives the avatar enough time.
The only downside is that the avatar must eliminate any members of the Calamity Squad who discover him.
Otherwise, Su Tu's identity would inevitably be exposed.
"The hotel where the avatar is staying is in the North District..."
Su Tu looked at the panoramic map of the capital city on the table and began to ponder.
For a period of time at the very beginning after he transmigrated to this world, he was studying the map of the capital.
Therefore, this map was very familiar to him; the streets, terrain, landmarks, and other features were all stored in his mind.
This is also why he was able to control his avatar to roam the capital without getting lost.
According to the layout of the capital city, half of the slums are located in the northern part of the city.
The alley where he recently controlled his avatar to kill three members of the reconnaissance team was located in the civilian area of the North District.
Since the calamity of foolishness occurs in that place where traces are lost, the danger is naturally much greater.
Therefore, the task of assigning personnel to the North District in this operation fell to Sophia, who had just signed an S-class magical artifact contract.
This S-rank Calamity, who possesses an S-rank magical artifact, is still an opponent that Su Tu cannot match, despite his lack of combat experience.
Unless one can harness the power of the Fool's Hat, perhaps one can rival Sophia.
There are still three days left before the Fool's Hat's cooldown period ends.
Sophia, who can sense changes in the air, might not need to spend so long to find Su Tu's avatar.
"The third phase of the mission is complete; perhaps we can make use of it..."
Su Tu began to think about a strategy, and his thoughts naturally fell on the reward he had just received for completing the task.
After completing the second phase of the mission last time, he received skill points and upgraded his ability to modify magical artifact information to level two.
After this ability is upgraded to the second tier, modifying the information on the Fool's Hat a second time will grant you an opportunity to reset the cooldown of magical tools.
Based on previous experience, once the ability is upgraded to level three, it should be possible to modify a magical tool three times.
I just don't know if the cooldown will be reset after the third modification to the Fool's Hat.
If possible, he could easily handle this search operation by the Calamity Squad.
He didn't even need to take action as the main body stationed at the base.
Having made up his mind, he did not hesitate and immediately controlled his consciousness to enter his avatar.
When Su Tu opened his eyes, he found himself in a room on the second floor of a small hotel in the northern district.
I got out of bed and walked towards the door. After carefully checking, I confirmed that there were no signs that it had been opened.
During the time his consciousness returned to his body, it can be confirmed that no one entered this room.
"This place is safe for now. Let's try upgrading our magical tool information modification ability here."
After some thought, Su Tu decided to begin upgrading his abilities for the rest of his life in this inconspicuous room.
Sitting on the bed, Su Tu immediately used up his skill points, and in a short moment, a light blue panel appeared in front of him.
[Magical Item Information Modification III: Increased Detection Level allows the addition of three words (excluding level) to the magical item's information. The magical item will be given new functions according to the modification. The same magical item can have its information modified three times.]
Su Tu glanced at the description of the upgraded ability and wasn't too surprised.
Based on the previous two experiences, it is easy to predict the effect of this ability upgrade.
The three most crucial actions for a statement—adding, deleting, and modifying—are now all complete.
Adding one word, deleting two words, adding three words—this ability to modify the information of the same magical item three times is incredibly powerful.
With a little imagination, some A-rank magical tools can be upgraded to S-rank magical tools.
With a sufficient number of magical artifacts and a large margin for modification in their ability descriptions, he is even capable of mass-producing S-rank magical artifacts.
This is a terrifying act, after all, those who possess S-class magical artifacts are the empire's top combat force.
If he were to mass-produce S-rank magical artifact powerhouses, both the Empire and the Church would undoubtedly try every means to win him over.
Even if they can't win them over, they'll destroy them to ensure this S-class magical tool factory doesn't become their property.
Therefore, the ability of this avatar must not be exposed. Using the Fool's Hat's ability to disguise the calamity ability and deceive everyone is the most appropriate choice at present.
Of course, as long as his avatar possesses enough S-class magical artifacts, they can be invincible when used in combination.
Whether that ability is revealed or not doesn't really matter.
Not to mention the side quests; the more people know the name "Fooling Calamity," the more terrifying his abilities become.
For now, however, not exposing oneself is still the best option.
After a moment of silence, he had a general idea of the role he was playing.
An S-class magical tool manufacturing factory, producing magical tools for other incarnations in the future, might be a good choice.
Moreover, after achieving great fame and success, he was even able to become a magical tool factory with superb combat power.
"Let's modify the Fool's Hat's abilities first. This time, which three words should we add...?"
Holding the Fool's Hat, Su Tu stared at the information on the light blue panel and began to ponder.
