With a swift motion, he enabled the martial techniques, prompting Sis to appear with a message confirming the system's successful integration of the techniques into the Skills Slot Tab.

Suddenly, Sis popped up with a new daily mission, catching Avin and Henrich off guard. They exchanged anxious glances before turning their attention to the mission details.

As they discussed their strategy, a familiar pop-up notification from Sis appeared before them.

[New Daily Mission: Participating Tang Xing Annual Martial Tournament]

Avin and Henrich exchanged determined glances, realizing that this mission could be their ticket to gaining valuable experience and resources in the martial world. With a nod of agreement, they accepted the challenge and set off to prepare for the tournament.

Shortly after accepting the first mission, another notification from Sis appeared.

[New Daily Mission: Idol Cuisine Showdown]

[Objective: Defeat the head chef of the biggest restaurant in Teng Xing City in a cooking competition, spreading Idol Cuisine.]

[Reward: 20 attribute points, Legendary Cooking Manual: Heavenly Delights. and additional 100 exp.]

Avin and Henrich exchanged surprised looks. The task seemed daunting, especially considering Avin's lack of culinary expertise. However, they knew that the rewards were too valuable to pass up. With determination in their hearts, they accepted the mission and began brainstorming strategies to tackle this unexpected culinary challenge.

After processing the second mission, another prompt from Sis appeared before them.

[New Daily Mission: Fan Recruitment Drive]

[Objective: Recruit a devoted fan to join your Idol Cult. This fan must be willing to spread the word about your Idol Cult and recruit more followers.]

[Reward: 30 attribute points, Rare Idol Costume: Celestial Garb. and an additional 300 party exp.]

Avin and Henrich exchanged intrigued glances. Recruiting a fan seemed like a more manageable task compared to the previous missions. However, they understood the importance of building a dedicated following for their Idol Cult. With renewed determination, they accepted the challenge and began strategizing on how to attract potential fans to their cause.

Avin and Henrich exchanged incredulous looks as they processed the daunting tasks ahead.

"An underground martial tournament? Beating the biggest restaurant in Teng Xing City? Recruiting a fan for our Idol Cult?" Avin repeated, disbelief evident in his voice. "How are we supposed to pull all of that off?"

Henrich scratched his head, equally perplexed. "I have no idea, mate. But it looks like we don't have much choice in the matter," he replied, his tone tinged with resignation. "If we want to survive and thrive in this world, we'll have to rise to the challenge."

Avin nodded, determination flickering in his eyes. "You're right. We may be out of our depth here, but we can't afford to back down. We'll just have to figure it out as we go along," he declared, a steely resolve settling over him.

With a shared sense of purpose, Avin and Henrich set out to tackle their daunting missions, knowing that their success could mean the difference between survival and failure in this unforgiving world.

Avin and Henrich set out with strengthened resolve and determination to overcome the challenges that lay before them.

Their first item on the agenda was an annual martial arts tournament, a daunting prospect for Avin as martial arts was still in its infancy. Still, thanks to Henrich's expertise and his own determination, Avin was ready to face whatever opponent awaited him in the ring.

As they headed to the tournament venue, Avin couldn't shake the feeling of anxiety that consumed him. Although the thought of facing an experienced fighter was frightening, he put aside his doubts and instead focused on the task at hand. He realized that with Henrich by his side, he had a fighting chance.

Meanwhile, the prospect of competing against Fire Orchid, the city's largest restaurant, filled both of them with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Henrich's culinary skills will undoubtedly be invaluable in this endeavor, but the competition will be fierce. They needed to develop a strategy that would outshine their competitors and captivate the palates of the city's discerning guests.

And when it came to recruiting fans into their idol cult, Avin and Henrich knew it would require charm, charisma, and perhaps some luck. It's not easy to win someone's loyalty in such a harsh world, but they are determined to succeed as each fan they gain brings them one step closer to their final goal.

Faced with a mission, Avin and Henrich moved forward, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. Together they sailed the treacherous waters of the warring world, making their way to fame and glory step by step.
