Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 61 Professional Resonance and Wedding Rings

The Professional Resonance skill is described as follows.

Skill 1: [Hunting Gu Symbiosis]

The hunter's undead hounds can briefly gain "swarm vision" from the sorcerer's worms; at the same time, the sorcerer can extract a portion of the undead hounds' resentful ash to feed the nematode's natal worm (without backlash).

Skill 2: [Pact of the Hunt for Gu]

Hunter Buff: The Undead Hound's bite inflicts the [Poison] effect (both spirits and living creatures will be slowed and continuously drain Resentment/Loss SAN); when hunters use hunting blades, crossbows, or hunting rifles, they can simultaneously summon poison worms to attack in conjunction (even if their spouse, a sorcerer, is not nearby).
The Sorcerer's Buff: After a vengeful hound bites a spirit, the summoned Gu worm evolves (even if the Gu worm is not involved in combat); when the swarm attacks, there is a 40% chance to trigger the Hunter's [Hunter's Blade] Hunting Mark, which the hunter can sense and track to hunt. Simultaneously, the Gu worm can also sense and devour the [Hunter's Blade] inflicted by the hunter.
Skill 3: [Rust Iron Hunt]

The sorcerer's Gu worms gain the [Hunting Enhancement], increasing damage by 25%; the Gu worms will not harm the hunter, but instead provide both sides with [Insect Armor Protection] (damage reduction of 30%); parasitic Gu worms can be detonated, causing area damage (radius of 3 meters).
All arrows and bullets fired by the hunter can carry the sorcerer's parasitic worms, forming [Insect Bombs] (causing area-of-effect corrosive damage to spirits and living beings); simultaneously, when the hunter's weapon attacks a target (whether spirit or living being) parasitized by the sorcerer's worms, it can be briefly enchanted with [Soul-Eating Corrosion].

Skill 4: [Blood Oath]

Physical contact (such as a handshake or hug) between the hunter and the sorcerer activates after 3 seconds. Limited to once per day, duration = sum of both players' remaining SAN percentages × 0.1 (minutes).
The sorcerer's natal Gu has temporarily evolved into the [Blood Rust Gu], increasing its devouring speed and attack power by 30%. Simultaneously, the sorcerer can consume Gu worms to temporarily lock the health of a dying hunter's spouse, freezing their SAN value at 10% to prevent them from falling into the Abyss.
Note: No additional SAN value is deducted for any profession resonance ability.

Special Bonus: Wedding Anniversary Buff (Once per year, based on the actual date both spouses entered the instance; if both spouses do not enter the instance simultaneously within 24 hours of entry, the buff will be ineffective within the instance). Effect:
1. Both sides share 50% resistance (half of the damage from supernatural/physical SAN values).
2. All skill cooldowns are reduced by 50%, and one skill that is still on cooldown can be used (only one skill allowed).
3. Increased drop rate (Resentment Crystal drop rate +50%, Shattered Crystal drop rate +20%, Skull Key draw item count +2)
4. Unleash the [Insect Hunting Festival], where hunters' weapons (arrows or bullets) rain down from the sky along with swarms of insects, unleashing a wide-area devastating attack (can only be used once during the wedding anniversary).
1st Wedding Anniversary: ​​Receive a pair of "Twin Lotus" ornaments (permanently increases maximum SAN value by 10% when worn by both partners).
The 2nd wedding anniversary reward information will be unlocked on the 1st wedding anniversary, and so on.

"Amazing..." Jiang Jin was stunned, especially by the [Insect Hunting Festival], "That..."

"Take another look at the divorce terms and conditions."

It was also noted on the watch:
Divorce penalties:

1. The ring breaks, and all marriage buffs are permanently lost.
2. Both parties' SAN values ​​will be forcibly deducted by 20%, and cannot be recovered within 72 hours.

3. Unable to re-register within 30 days.
4. A unilateral divorce application requires the payment of 7 Resentment Crystals, and property division is completely random.

Note: If a couple becomes widowed due to death, the wedding ring will automatically be converted into a [Last Will and Testament Pendant] (retaining some buff effects).

"Okay, then let's...get married! Hmm, wait a minute, shouldn't I be the one proposing?"

"What are you fussing about, you grown man!" Liu Yan picked up the juice from the set meal that the waiter brought over while Jiang Jin was reading "Professional Resonance," took a sip, and said, "Is this the time to be thinking about all this nonsense? Now that you've clearly understood the rights and responsibilities, let's settle it right away! School's about to let out, and then we'll have to face the 'tide'!"

Jiang Jin nodded; this was indeed Liu Yan's style.

Suddenly, the wedding march began to play!

Jiang Jin looked at the foreigner playing the piano, while Liu Yan said, "I told him that if I pick up the juice with my right hand, it means I've successfully proposed. As for the ceremony, this level is enough. We can have the wedding later; right now, our priority is survival! We're registering our marriage today, so today is also our [wedding anniversary]! We can go to the Lost Layer to rescue Yang Jian!"

So, to the accompaniment of the wedding march, Jiang Jin and Liu Yan selected the marriage registration application on their watches and submitted it!

Soon, a system notification appeared in Jiang Jin's left eye:
"Congratulations to Jiang Jin, the Reincarnator, on completing your marriage registration with Liu Yan, the Reincarnator (Witchcraft Master LV1: Insect Master)!"
You are already husband and wife!

Wedding rings are being generated...

Successfully generated and stored in the Reincarnator's watch. The resentment crystals required for marriage registration have been deducted from both parties' watches.

"ring!"

Jiang Jin and Liu Yan took out their wedding rings from each other's Reincarnator watches!
Looking at the blood-red gem on the ring, Jiang Jin couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the Reincarnation System.

The ring is made of black and gold metals intertwined. Black and gold, like the night sky and starlight, are two opposing poles, yet they achieve a strange and harmonious symbiosis on these two rings.

The black metal, as deep as a cosmic black hole, absorbed the surrounding light, faintly exuding a cold and mysterious aura. Intertwined with it was the gold, like flowing warm sunlight, dazzling and eye-catching. Against the black background, it appeared even more luxurious and solemn. Every golden line was meticulously drawn, as if it had been carefully painted by the most skilled craftsmen with time as their brush.

At the heart of this black and gold entanglement lies a crimson gemstone, resembling congealed blood. Touched by light, the gemstone refracts light like a burning flame, dazzling and chillingly red, as if possessing its own life. Upon closer inspection, the gemstone's interior reveals fine, vein-like patterns, seemingly telling a story of a deeply etched love. This crimson hue imbues the ring with a unique allure and a sense of danger, as if warning the reincarnated soul that while love may be passionate, it can also carry a sharp edge that pierces the soul.

“Let’s put rings on each other’s fingers!” Liu Yan extended her left hand.

Jiang Jin excitedly grasped Liu Yan's left hand, and then solemnly put the wedding ring on her ring finger!
The surrounding guests cheered and applauded.

The rings, worn on the hands of the newlyweds, with their black and gold intertwined, seemed to bind their destinies tightly together, while the crimson gemstone resembled their beating hearts, passionate and steadfast.

They are not merely decorations, but also the embodiment of a vow, witnessing their journey hand in hand into the unknown cycle of reincarnation, no matter how bloody the path ahead may be.

Time flies.

"All right."

After the last class in the afternoon, Liu Yan walked into the classroom.

"Everyone, get ready to listen to the school song broadcast."

At this moment, several sharp-eyed students suddenly noticed the wedding ring that Liu Yan had put on her hand.

"Hey? Ms. Liu, what's this? A wedding ring?"

"Teacher Liu, you're married?"

Liu Yan raised her hand and said, "Oh, I just went out for a meal and took the time to get married."

At that moment, the broadcast started.

As the microphone was being adjusted...

The school song broadcast after school, begin!
　The male and female leads are getting married, so let's all give some tips and make a wedding gift!
