Mu Bei returned to his exclusive room, his consciousness clearing the moment he returned.
And the first thing Mu Bei felt upon waking was an boundless emptiness.
During the preparation for the Anti-entropy Experiment, Mu Bei's strength was temporarily enhanced by the Order Paradise to the peak of cosmic beings, a feeling that was truly unforgettable.
Now, this peak sensation stood in stark contrast to his current 'weakness', creating a huge sense of disparity, like an Abyss, almost completely engulfing Mu Bei.
However, this feeling of emptiness quickly vanished, because Mu Bei could feel his health points draining at an alarming rate!
"What's going on? Doesn't the exclusive room have an absolute safety rule?"
Mu Bei immediately opened his personal information panel and found that his health points were draining at a rate of about 0.9% per second.
101%, 100.1%, 99.2%...
Mu Bei quickly understood the reason behind this—
"Skill 1 · Entropy Increase Power" forcibly deducts 1% of health points per second, while "Skill 2 · Elementary Undying Trait" restores 0.1% health points per second.
Even worse, under the exclusive room's "absolute safety rule" judgment, skill health deduction was considered self-harm and could not be blocked.
"If this keeps up, I won't even live for two minutes!"
Mu Bei didn't hesitate, immediately using his will to firmly click on the plus sign next to "Skill 2, Elementary Undying Trait, LV.1".
The next second, the skill upgrade was complete:
Skill 2, Elementary Undying Trait, LV.2
Skill Effect 2 (Passive): ...additionally restores 0.2% health points per second...
The speed of health point drain decreased slightly, but it was clearly not enough.
"Not enough! Far from enough!" Mu Bei frantically clicked the plus sign for skill upgrades.
"I even survived the Anti-entropy Experiment, am I going to die because my life-saving skill upgraded too slowly? What a joke!"
Finally, when his health points were around 30%, Mu Bei successfully upgraded "Elementary Undying Trait" to LV.MAX, and his health point recovery speed finally matched the drain speed.
When this skill reached max level, the Paradise sent Mu Bei a prompt:
【If the Reverse Entropy Body wants to upgrade "Elementary Undying Trait", they need to go to the Skill Upgrade Chamber to advance this skill to "Intermediate Undying Trait".】
"Phew... I finally survived."
Mu Bei let out a sigh of relief.
He really didn't expect that the first life-or-death crisis after his job change would come from himself.
Now, he could finally take a good look at his new panel.
The Heaven Forsaker talent had actually undergone a beneficial mutation due to its high compatibility with his profession, which meant that negative entropy points were more powerful than World Power.
Or, more accurately, the scope that negative entropy power could encompass was larger than the scope that World Power could encompass.
"Life feeds on negative entropy", this concept originated from the theory of entropy in physics, and the profession · Reverse Entropy Body quite directly demonstrated this concept.
"Skill 1 · Entropy Increase Power" could deal true damage, reduce maximum health points, and the skill description didn't state that this maximum health reduction was a temporary effect.
In short, it was true damage + permanent health bar reduction, which seemed incredibly overpowered, especially for enemies with strong recovery abilities.
And the subsequent skill upgrade prompt seemed even more overpowered; not only did it require nothing to upgrade, but it even gave something back.
So, could he just mindlessly max out this skill, upgrading it as high as possible, and then rely on massive true damage to reduce the health bars of any enemy, no matter how strong their defense, to 0?
But the reality was far from that simple. Didn't Mu Bei almost die just now due to the forced health deduction per second from "Entropy Increase Power"?
According to the law of conservation of energy, if Mu Bei wanted higher true damage, he would naturally need to expend more energy.
Where did the energy come from? It came from his health points.
Therefore, as the level of "Entropy Increase Power" increased, the true damage would increase, but the health points forcibly deducted per second would also increase proportionally.
If Mu Bei didn't want to commit suicide this way, he could only cautiously upgrade "Entropy Increase Power" after his health point recovery ability had increased to a certain level.
The remaining skills had not changed, so there was no need to elaborate.
When Mu Bei closed his panel, he felt a chill on his body.
So, he looked down.
He didn't know until he looked, and when he looked, he was shocked.
All the clothes, pants, and shoes he had been wearing had turned into dust and dissipated into the air because their durability had reached zero!
"Skill 1: entropy increase, LV.1 (+)"
"Skill Effect 2 (Passive): The 'order' of any object in contact with you will be permanently destroyed, and its durability will rapidly decrease."
This skill effect left Mu Bei naked, completely naked.
The durability of any object in contact with Mu Bei would rapidly decrease, and that certainly included the clothes he was wearing.
Mu Bei could remain expressionless in the face of biological death, but in the face of social death... what should he do?
Any clothes or equipment worn would have their durability reduced to zero in no time. Could he only go around naked from now on?
Rather than that, Mu Bei would prefer to be surrounded and attacked dozens of times by tens of thousands of elite Zombies summoned by Zombie Lord · A Ling.
However, speaking of Zombie Lord · A Ling, Mu Bei suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen that permanent summon since returning.
Where did it go? Could it have died at the hands of that existence with the prefix Old Days?
No, he could still see its information on the summon interface.
If it had died, he wouldn't be able to see this information.
So where did A Ling go?
The next moment, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and a small-to-medium-sized teleportation mist gate appeared on the wall of Mu Bei's exclusive room again.
Then, A Ling walked through the mist gate into the room and happened to see Mu Bei, who was completely naked.
At this moment, both sides were silent.
A Ling was the first to break the silence:
"Master, you're finally awake! The sword stuck in your head is also gone."
Mu Bei touched his head and indeed didn't feel the familiar sword hilt. He opened his storage space and found the missing Slayer of Order.

After reading the information of the greatsword in his hand, a slight smile curled up at the corner of Mu Bei's mouth:
"Let's put the clothes problem aside for now. At least, my terrible luck is finally saved."
