The description of Effect 1 of 'Elementary Undying Trait'—No Vital Points—might seem a bit confusing.

What is a vital point critical strike? What is the trait of unlimited vital point critical strike damage?

For example:

If Mu Bei's race was still human, a pure human. If he took out a dagger and stabbed his thigh and heart with the same force.

Because the thigh is not considered a vital point, even if Mu Bei stabbed through his thigh, if the subsequent damage, such as bleeding, is not considered, his health would only drop by about 10%;

However, the heart is an extremely important part. If Mu Bei stabbed through his heart, his health would immediately plummet by at least 80%!

This is a vital point critical strike. If a vital point is hit, the damage will definitely be a critical hit, regardless of critical hit rate and Luck attribute, and the importance of the vital point will determine the actual effect of the critical hit.

Next, let's explain the trait of unlimited vital point critical strike damage:

Suppose, still human Mu Bei stabbed through his brain with a dagger, then twisted his wrist to crush his brain. What would happen next?

Then, no matter how high his health was, even if it increased 10 times, 100 times, or even 1000 times based on the current foundation.

It would be useless! After the brain is destroyed, no matter how much health is left, it must return to 0. This is the unlimited trait of vital point critical strike damage.

Having no vital points is extremely important for Mu Bei, who has negative luck, increasing his fault tolerance rate by an unknown number of times.

In 'Elementary Undying Trait' Effect 2, 'flesh vitalization' was mentioned. Mu Bei quickly found its real-world manifestation—the eye that grew on the tiger's mouth of his right hand just now.

That was the body's self-adaptive response to external needs. When Mu Bei had the thought of 'wanting to see the sword stuck in his head clearly', an eye grew directly on his hand.

...

According to the Paradise's prompt, 'Adaptation Evolution' originated from Ability · Adaptation, which Mu Bei acquired after eating a lot of zombie flesh.

Evolution Virus is actually just the zombie virus, just a different name. After the Evolution Virus infects the human body, it can help humans evolve and gain abilities, but the price of failed evolution is becoming a zombie.

With Mu Bei's Constitution attribute, he naturally evolved successfully, so he gained Ability · Adaptation.

Some abilities are indeed not easily noticed when awakened.

For example, some body-strengthening ability users, after being attacked, find themselves unharmed, and only then realize that they have already awakened an ability.

Without the skill bar unlocked, even if Mu Bei gained Ability · Adaptation, he wouldn't be able to feel what he had adapted to.

From the description of Skill 2, it can be seen that this is an ability that can make Mu Bei's fault tolerance rate soar again.

Mu Bei had just cut himself with a dagger and took a little physical damage.

Therefore, he gained a derivative ability that can be upgraded with World Power:

'Derivative Skill 1, Physical Resistance (Narrow Sense)'

Expanding on this idea, if Mu Bei were to burn himself with fire and suffer damage caused by high temperature, would he gain 'High Temperature Resistance'?

'Adaptation Evolution' is a seemingly heaven-defying skill, and Mu Bei is already eager to put it into practice.

As for Melee Combat Proficiency and Basic Firearms, these were honed by Mu Bei through thousands of killings in the trial world, so there's nothing particularly noteworthy to say.

The only thing worth mentioning is that technique-type skills cannot be upgraded with World Power.

However, what's the situation with Skill 5?

Mu Bei asked the Paradise through the imprint on his arm:

'Why haven't I successfully changed my profession to Slayer of Order's Grief yet?'

【The Contractor's profession change progress is being suppressed by the absolute safety rules within the exclusive room, currently stalled at 99.99%.】

【If the profession change progress reaches 100%, the Contractor will enter absolute death, equivalent to being forcibly executed.】

'Ah?!'
