The next day, Monday, William got up, washed, put on his clothes, put on his bag, grabbed a sandwich and went out. He still had classes that day.
He was now a sophomore in computer science at the University of London, and he had to attend classes, or else his mother, Lina Devonshire, would kill him. He remembered how his mother had to work two jobs to support his education, leaving her no time for a boyfriend.
Although William was not Lina's son before, he completely accepted all of William Devonshire's memories and emotions. The two of them have completely merged, and his feelings for his current mother have not changed at all. On the contrary, he sincerely admires and is grateful to Lina in his heart.
He was now William Devonshire, still William, and he didn't want to see Lina sad. Besides, he could only stay in school to learn knowledge. There was too much technology and science in his head that he didn't understand. At school, he could ask professors or go to the library to look up information. Besides, he hadn't decided what to do next.

It is now 2000. Even if he knew in his previous life which companies and technologies could make money, he has neither capital nor technology, and is still a poor guy. If he suddenly comes up with a super technology, it is obvious that he will not be able to keep it. Capital and opponents will definitely find ways to suppress, threaten, and acquire the technology in his hands. It is also unknown whether he will be caught by the government and dissected.
As for magic, he now dared not use it in front of others. His current strength could not protect himself. The power of guns was still very great. Besides, if he still wanted to be a rich man and enjoy life openly, he could not be an enemy of the government and society. It was better for him to keep a low profile and develop slowly.
He didn't learn magic to rule the world, and he couldn't rule it either. He should think about how to improve his life and the life of his mother Lina.
January is the second semester of every year at the University of London. William rushed to the comprehensive classroom of the Computer Department with a backpack on his back. Not long after he entered, he saw Professor Roy Stephen from the department walking in with a cup of coffee in his hand and a few books on his arm.
In 2000, computer science had no cloud computing, no big data, and artificial intelligence was still in its infancy. To Chen Mo, who was reborn in 2019, what Professor Roy Stephen taught were still basic things. Moreover, Chen Mo was only a sophomore and had fully accepted the memories of his predecessor William, so his brain was smarter than before.
Throughout the entire class, William had no difficulty listening to the knowledge in the Marvel Universe system. After the professor finished speaking, Chen Mo still felt a little unsatisfied.
William hasn't figured out how to change his current life situation yet. It can't be too difficult, nor too advanced. It would be best if it were a game, so that it doesn't have much impact on his current self, and no one will do anything to him because of a game.
After a day of classes, William sat on a bench by the lawn in the school in the afternoon, staring at the lawn in front of him in a daze, thinking about what he should do to make some money.
While thinking, William heard two female voices passing by behind him.
One said that the zombie movie she watched yesterday was so scary that she was afraid to sleep alone in the dormitory. The other said that she was also scared and could not sleep the whole night and had no energy to attend classes the whole day.
William turned around and looked at the two hot beauties, his eyes shining. It's still January, and they dare to wear skirts. English women are really bold and not afraid of the cold. But they have great figures, no wonder they wear short skirts.
After the beauty walked away, William turned his head and continued to look at the dry grass. Suddenly, something came to his mind. Damn, what did I think of? Thinking about it again, he looked at the grass in front of him, the big tree in the distance, and the zombie he had just heard in his ears.
William suddenly had an idea and slapped his forehead, yes, Plants vs. Zombies, I can do this.
Although the Plants vs. Zombies game only appeared on smartphones, there should be no problem putting the game on a smartphone in 2008 on a desktop computer in 2000. At most, the pixels can be lowered. CS Counter-Strike can be played on a LAN, so there will be no problem running a small game.
The late 1990s was the time when single-player games were at their peak, and Europeans and Americans preferred single-player games, unlike the Chinese who loved online games.
Stand-alone games have a very large market in Europe and the United States. Eight years later, Plants vs. Zombies has proven the popularity of this game.
William can completely develop a stand-alone version of Plants vs. Zombies by himself. Although it is a bit difficult to develop this game with William's current technical level, he is a systematic person. If he encounters any difficult problems, he can learn directly in the system, ask the professor, and go to the library to look up information.
William shouted with joy, and the people around him avoided Chen Mo as if he were a madman.
William didn't care at all. He grabbed the bag on the chair and ran to his dormitory.
After entering the dormitory, William turned on his computer and began to write a plan. After checking the plan to make sure there were no mistakes, he started programming, pausing from time to time to study the knowledge in the system in his mind.
William was busy for more than ten days, constantly going back and forth between the library, classroom, and dormitory. He went to see the professor more times than in his freshman year. His knowledge was increasing over the days. After completing a game alone, William understood more and more about this knowledge.
Finally, the game slowly took shape in William's hands.
William looked at the files on his computer with pride and joy, but the challenge now facing him was how to promote Plants vs. Zombies. He had no money and no channels. After much thought, William decided that the most important thing for him was to register the copyright.
First go to the copyright owner to register the copyright of the Plants vs. Zombies story and game, so that you can feel at ease when promoting it, and you don't have to worry about being hacked during promotion. Don't think too highly of capital, because capitalists will not reason with you.
William found a phone booth with a yellow pages number at school, found the copyright holder's number and called it.
"Hello, is this the copyright owner?" William asked after the call was connected.
"Yes, sir, this is the copyright owner. What is your name? How can I help you?" A female voice came from the phone.
"My name is William Devonshire. I have a game that I'd like to register for copyright. Can you register both the game copyright and the story copyright?" William asked.
"Yes sir, you can call me Katie. May I ask if you made your game yourself? Is it original or adapted?" Katie said
"It's my original creation," William replied.
"If it's your original creation, then there's no problem. You can register the story copyright with us first, and then register the game copyright. It's best to bring both your story manuscript and the game design draft. This will help with your copyright review."
"Thank you, I understand, Ms. Katie. What is the copyright address?"
"London, 11 Cavrine Street, accepting applications from Monday to Friday. You can learn about the things you need to pay attention to on our official website. You can also make an appointment by phone now. The earliest you can make an appointment is the day after tomorrow to come and handle the copyright." Katie reminded
"Okay, thank you Ms. Katie, I'll make an appointment now," Chen Mo said happily when he heard Katie say that he could make an appointment.
"Okay, sir, what is your full name?" Katie asked.
"My full name is William Devonshire"
"Okay sir, I've made a note of it. You can come to the copyright office at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Please tell us your name and someone will receive you."
"Thank you, Ms. Katie, and have a nice afternoon."
"Thank you and have a nice afternoon, sir. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." William hung up the phone and returned to the dormitory. He turned on his computer and looked at the submission procedures and precautions indicated on the official copyright website.
On the third day, William sorted out all the documents according to the registration requirements he had copied down from the Internet yesterday. Since he had no classes that afternoon, he took the bus to No. 11 Keverin Street.
