When Viktor was thinking about his two lives, he inadvertently noticed that he had a new System notification and summoned the system panel:

System Notifications:
- Skill Upgrade: "Innovative Thinking" has reached Master level.
After looking at the system notification, he realized it was because his skill, Innovative Thinking, had upgraded to Master level.
From the system, he knew that skills were divided into five levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, and finally Ultimate.
This was his first skill to reach the Master level. According to the system guide, there were no more than five humans with skills that had reached the Ultimate level. Apart from these, the best in any industry typically only have skills at the Master level.
Another change was the progress of his HD camera project, which had increased from 23% a week ago to the current 30%.
He had received the blueprints for the HD camera from the system's beginner gift package. The problem was that, even with the blueprint, he didn't have the necessary materials. For example, the current image sensors on the market were of very low quality, like the OmniVision OV7670, while his HD camera required the OmniVision OV13850, which did not exist in this world. He would need to invent it himself. Fortunately, the system had detailed all the materials in the blueprint, which helped him a lot.
As for his limited Reputation Points, this was the reason he wanted to write a movie. Every time someone gave a good rating, he could directly receive a point. The entertainment industry seemed like the best way to achieve this.
While he finished reviewing his system panel, the car finally arrived home.
Seeing his mother waiting for him at the door, he chuckled. He wanted to surprise her, but it must be his father who knew his intention and was taking revenge for him going without waiting for the latter.
He didn't wait for the driver to open the car door for him and opened it himself.
As Viktor stepped out of the car, the crisp evening air of Paris greeted him, carrying the faint scent of blooming jasmine from the garden, it was really good, especially with the presence of his mother.
His mother was still as stunning as ever, with her hair striking a shade of blonde, her green eyes reflecting her Dutch heritage, and of course, her natural warm smile, He noted how little she had changed over the years
With a smile on his face, he walked toward his mother, who was already reaching out with open arms.
Viktor was a little emotional toward the person who was most familiar to him in this world. He said a simple sentence that reflected his sentiment: "I missed you," his voice filled with genuine affection.
Emma's face widened with a smile, and she replied, "And I missed you too, Viktor. How was your day? You must be very tired from the plane. Let's go; I've prepared your favorite Coq au Vin dish and a Ratatouille as a side dish."
Viktor smiled wryly. The flight time from London to Paris is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes. That's also the reason he had time to visit his father. How tired could he be?
Even before, if not for fear of bothering him during the critical period of his diploma, his mother would not have waited five months but would have visited him every three to four days.
As they entered the manor, it was still like it used to be, with no changes. He was not shy and went directly to the dining room. He missed his mother's cooking very much.
As for waiting for his father? In his mother's world, "He can't let my son starve to death, right?"
The aroma of Coq au Vin and Ratatouille wafted through the air, mingling with the rich scent of polished wood and fresh flowers in the dining room
While Viktor was eating, he also talked with Emma. She was very happy to see that her child hadn't changed much. She had heard from her friends that children tend to cut off contact after reaching adulthood and seek independence, so it seemed she had worried too much.
During their conversation, she asked Viktor about something she was curious about: "Now that you have finished your studies, what are your plans for the future?"
Viktor swallowed the food in his mouth before responding, "I just discussed this with Father. I plan to start my own company, and speaking of it, I'm sure you will be surprised by the first invention. It's used for filming movies."
"I've already reached an agreement with Father. Would you like to participate in the first movie with my invention? I am also the main writer."
Before marrying his father, Emma was a movie star. Even now, she occasionally takes on roles when she is bored.
Emma originally thought her son would inherit his father's company, but now that he has his own plans, she can only wish him the best. Still, she was very proud of her son.
"Of course, you can count on me for this. I'm already a little impatient. When will the filming start?"
"Well, there are still some tests to do, but my invention will be ready in two to three months. Also, Father will send some writers to help with the script for the movie."
Emma nodded, expressing her understanding. Although she usually avoids work talk at home, her curiosity was piqued. She asked, "Well, what's the idea of the movie?"
