Sino thought hard for a second (that's too short) before saying, "How about this? Let's assume that we are dating now. If the system doesn't consider us married, that's fine too."
Sakura smiled softly, "You are so sweet, Sino. I love your idea."
Under the moonlight, her smile warmed his heart enough to withstand the cold breeze.
Oh boy! For a man, that was enough. No matter how much of a sigma male he was, if a girl smiled at him honestly, he would even go against nine heavens for her sake.
Sino crossed his arms over his chest, smiled positively, "I want to know more about your world and you. But we should focus on our missions. By the way, aren't you cold?"
It was then that Sakura crossed her arms under her ample bosom, rubbing her arms with her hands, she said, "Ki users at my level have some resistance to cold and heat. But long exposure to such cold winds can be bad for me too."
She said with a fake smile, glancing at his jacket with jealous eyes for a moment, "I was sparring with my love when I gained enlightenment and got summoned to your 'Eternal Isle' instantly. I didn't see this coming."
Sino smiled warmly, fully knowing the meaning of the sudden change in her character, "the girl who needs a jacket", but he refused, "Sorry. But I have low immunity compared to average people. I need this jacket more than you."
My boy is simp from heart but sigma from head.
Well done! Your end won't be like Titanic.
"That's fine. Haha! I can endure it, " she said, but her voice was mixed with sarcasm.
'thought he was a gentleman. But turns out, he is worse than thugs. Good thing, he is a weakling. I can take advantage of him by acting coy, ' Her intention didn't match her outer self.
Sino stood up, facing Herald with his hands in the side pockets of his jacket, and he asked, "When are we raiding the dungeon? What can you tell us about dungeons? Won't you give us any equipment, supplies, or tools?"
Herald flew high up to the level of Sino's face and answered his questions patiently, "A portal of a random dungeon will appear on your 'Eternal Isle' every six hours, like 12 AM (midnight), 6 AM, 12 PM (noon), and 6 PM."
"Sometimes you can decide the rank of the dungeon to get your desired adventures and rewards. But you can't decide what will appear in the dungeons. You will know more when see one."
"You will find equipment and supplies within dungeons if you are lucky. Any other questions?
"What about Ki cultivation? I don't know anything about it. I mean, I have read countless eastern comics but I don't have a clue about how it actually works here, " Sino pointed out the most important factor that could change his life here.
He is worried about returning to his world, even though he fell into a game-like world where only the fittest survive.
Could it be he wasn't actually satisfied with his life?
Whatever the reason was, he didn't care. So as the narrator of his story, I don't have the right to narrate his past unless he recalls it.
"Sorry! You have to figure that out yourself, " Herald shook his head in denial.
"I can teach you!"
Sino heard Sakura's voice on his backside.
He turned his upper body back from the waist a bit, and looked at the girl who had a bright smile on her face, actually it was too bright, like angel with sun behind her head.
That's red flag.
Until now, he wasn't thinking straight because of the pain in his nuts and the joy of getting a wife. But now, he had become the typical "analytical Sino" who could tell that she wanted to help him with an intention that would benefit her.
'Haa! I knew it. How could my luck be so good? Forget it. I will play "house" with her and take advantage of her. It is a "give and take" world just like my world,' Sino concluded inwardly.
"Are you confident? The world where I come from doesn't have an actual Ki practitioner like you. People like you are legends who only exist in novels and comics. Can you really teach someone like me who have no experience in Ki practice?" Sino asked with a face that didn't have much hope.
Sakura stood up, taking two steps towards him, she said, "You are in luck then. Eternal Erena can make anyone with zero experience in Ki practice an entry-level Ki user in a week."
"For your information, I am at an expert level. A level below master and a level above senior. Below senior level is junior, then seeker."

(Classification of Ki users based on their mastery of Ki)
Phase 1 - Ki seeker
Phase 2 - Ki junior
Phase 3 - Ki senior
Phase 4 - Ki expert
Phase 5 - Ki master

"Hmm, " Sino nodded his head, inserted his right hand in the right side pocket of his pants, but found nothing, "My phone! Where did it go? My bag too?"
He only realised that his smartphone and bag weren't with him. Only his clothes, shoes, and glasses had come with him to Eternal Erena.
"Sorry, those things could have brought imbalance to Eternal Erena, so we are temporarily holding them in our possession. Even player Sakura couldn't bring her special gloves with her." Herald told him.
"Ugh--! Whatever! The phone has internet. And the internet connects us with social media where people act like kids, post negative comments without thinking, troll celebs or people without caring about their feelings... a toxic digital hell, " Sino told himself that he was better off with a distraction.
Then he looked in Sakura's eyes, asking with anticipation, "Tell me the name of the technique you are about to teach me. It's gotta be a dope one, right?"
Sakura crossed her arms under her breasts, tilting her head a bit, she gave him a naughty smile, "Of course~ It needs direct body contact and an open place like this."
"Excuse me?" Sino felt his heartbeat shifting to a high gear.
She continued while closing the distance between them, "We have to make some noise too."
"Hohoho!" Herald had a huge smile on his little face, "Player Sino, were you a god in your previous life? Otherwise, how could you be so lucky?"
"I know, right?" Sino told Herald, while not leaving the sight of Sakura, who had gotten very close to him.
She went close to his right ear, her perky bosom pressing lightly on his chest.
The man of the hour wanted his clothes to be burned instantly, right at that moment.
Finally, she whispered in his ear, "I never thought I would teach someone this technique. It is called "Yin and yang dual cultivation technique" in my world."
Okay! Let's do it.
I mean, let's go to the next chapter.
