The Fool's Hat
[S-level]
[The user can reduce the intelligence of enemies and create an illusion within a 500-meter radius.

【Cooling】
Su Tu looked at the Fool's Hat on the panel, pondering the best way to modify the information.
Based on the level 3 ability to modify magical artifact information, a maximum of 3 words can be added to this magical artifact.
However, what kind of content needs to be added to these three words in order to unleash the full potential of this magical tool?
"The number of words that can be added is still too few..."
Unsurprisingly, he encountered the same problem as before: too few words to edit.
Whether it's modifying one character, deleting two characters, or now adding three characters, we all face this problem.
Although the upgrade path for the ability to modify magical artifact information has not yet reached its end, the icon indicates that there are still two more upgrades possible.
However, his main quest has ended, and the only way for him to obtain upgrade points is through the number of people in the Faraway area.
For every 50,000 people who know the title of "Foolish Calamity," one can gain an upgrade point.
The entire capital city has a population of 600,000, making it a large city in terms of population within the empire.
The world today possesses tools like magical implements that can greatly increase productivity.
Logically speaking, the world's population should be enormous, at least several billion people.
Unfortunately, there are other races in the world besides humans, who are in a state of hostility with humans.
The capital city is located in the center of the empire, so people of other races are rarely seen there.
However, the empire's borders were still defending against invasions from other races and nations, with a large number of troops being conscripted to the borders.
In addition, the empire has suffered from continuous disasters over the past fifty years, causing enormous losses to its inhabitants and reducing the empire's population to around one hundred million.
The total population of the entire world is only four hundred million.
If Su Tu's Foolish Trick Calamity could be known by these 400 million people, then his strength would inevitably reach a terrifying level.
Whether it's upgrade points for opening up other skill upgrade paths or attribute points for enhancing attributes, the number will be enormous.
However, achieving such an effect is extremely difficult.
Ten years ago, the S-class calamity that suddenly struck the Empire caused 400,000 casualties before it achieved its notoriety.
Unless he emulates this S-class calamity and commits a massacre with huge casualties, making the villain known to all.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him to rely on his own strength to make others aware of his title of "Foolish Calamity".
Thinking about this, Su Tu sighed helplessly, temporarily abandoning the idea of increasing the word count and focusing instead on modifying the information of the magical artifact in front of him.
While he was pondering how to acquire upgrade points, he had already figured out which three words to add.
According to the rules of information modification capabilities, these three characters do not need to form a sentence or a word.
Simply put, these three words don't necessarily have to be connected.
This gives him a lot more room to maneuver.
Just like...
Su Tu stretched out his hand and used the ability to add words from his information modification skills. He slowly extended his hand and wrote the first word in mid-air with his right index finger.
"9"
The word appeared in mid-air, emitting a bright pale blue light, as dazzling as a sapphire.
Su Tu had no interest in appreciating it. With a flick of his finger, he moved the word to the ability description.
However, he did not stop there. With a flick of his finger, he wrote two more "9"s in mid-air.
Then, like with artillery, move these two words to other sentences respectively.
Once the pale blue light in the room dissipated, the description of the Fool's Hat's abilities had undergone a significant change.
[The user can reduce the intelligence of enemies and create an illusion within a 9500-meter radius. The user can freely construct the illusion, which lasts for 910 minutes and has a 920% chance to reset the cooldown. Unless the wearer cancels it themselves, others will subconsciously ignore the top hat's presence. Cooldown time: two months.]
He didn't collect the data; his goal was simply to modify the information in the ability descriptions.
The coverage area has been increased from 500 meters to 9500 meters, and the duration has been increased from 10 minutes to 910 minutes.
There was a 20% chance of triggering a cooldown reset when entering the cooldown period, which has been changed to the current 920%.
This is equivalent to the Fool's Hat's ability, which will inevitably trigger a cooldown reset after its duration expires.
The so-called cooldown time has become a mere decoration, serving no purpose whatsoever.
Moreover, this modification conforms to the three principles of language norms, making the sentences fluent and the meaning clear.
The Fool's Hat, now modified, has become incredibly powerful.
With a coverage area of 9500 meters, it is enough to cover an area of the capital, making it incredibly convenient to move around.
Most importantly, this range is centered on the Fool's Hat; as long as he moves, this coverage area will also move.
With a duration of 910 minutes and a 920% chance of resetting the cooldown, Su Tu can activate the Fool's Hat in an instant, at any time.
Such abilities are comparable to those found in novels.
"A domain? Let's call it the Domain of Fools..."
Looking at the abilities described in the information, Su Tu silently gave this field a name.
When he becomes famous, everyone who uses the Fool's Domain will know that his Fool's Calamity is about to arrive.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a calamity preceding an impending catastrophe.
Once he gained some fame, he was even able to leverage that fame to snowball his reputation throughout the entire empire.
The more famous he is, the more attribute points and upgrade points he will receive, the stronger his abilities will become, and the faster his fame will spread.
This is a virtuous cycle, a cycle that can bring Su Tu a huge boost in power.
Su Tu wears the Foolish Hat on his head, which has become a habit of his, or rather, his signature look.
A black overcoat, black riding breeches, and a black top hat—these have become his hallmarks as a foolish and calamistic figure.
"I wonder if other calamities have similar abilities. Perhaps I'm the first?"
He looked out at the dark city, a strange glint in his eyes.
For some reason, he had a strong feeling that the emergence of the Foolish Realm might mark the beginning of a new phase of calamity.
A stage that has never existed before, an unknown and mysterious one.
Perhaps the emergence of this phase is a great thing for the calamity.
But for ordinary people in the empire, it was a huge disaster.
For a moment, he had no idea what the future of the empire would be like, which made his long-calm heart feel a rare sense of anticipation.
