Arriving at the copyright office, William said to the receptionist, "Hello, my name is William Devonshire. I made an appointment by phone the day before yesterday."
The receptionist checked the booklet and said to William, "Hello, Mr. Devonshire, please follow me."
William was accompanied by the receptionist to submit various materials.
William copied the story and game design manuscripts of Plants vs. Zombies three times as requested by the staff. He stamped the copyright on both the first draft and the copy, and signed his name and fingerprint on them.
Two copies of the photocopy were placed in a file bag and left at the copyright holder, one copy was kept by William himself, and the first draft was also placed in a bag, sealed and stamped. William went to the post office to mail it to himself as suggested by the copyright holder's staff.
The advantage of doing this is that if a copyright dispute occurs, William can produce the unopened mail, which has the copyright ownership and the stamp and date of the post office as evidence, which will be more advantageous in the lawsuit.
Since it is an original story and design, it will take 3 days to review the copyright.
During the days of waiting for the copyright registration, William would run to the school playground and stay behind the goal. He wanted to test the effect of the spell, but he didn't dare to use tangible spells. He didn't want to be treated as a monster in this world without magic. He could only test invisible spells that ordinary people couldn't see or feel. Mental power and the magician's hand were invisible spells, so when the ball flew towards the goal, William used the magician's hand on the football, and the ball's flight trajectory would change.
The football either missed the goal or the goalkeeper made a mistake and the ball that could have been caught suddenly changed its flight trajectory. After staying like this for two days, William was chased away by the players on the field. Fortunately, everyone just thought that this guy was a jinx. Since William stayed on the runway behind this goal, this goal did not score many goals in two days.
After being kicked out of the playground, William just hung around the school except for attending classes. During lunch, William met a bully from the school's rowing team, who had bullied William before.
This guy was holding a plate and talking and laughing with a beautiful woman. William chose the right moment and raised his right hand with his mental power. The plate in his hand flew to the beautiful woman's head with a thud. William felt pain for the beautiful woman.
The school bully stared in amazement at the beautiful woman whose head was covered in juice. He didn't know why this happened. He just felt someone suddenly lift up his right hand and the plate flew out.
When the school bully came to his senses and chased after the beautiful woman who broke up with him, William stepped behind the school bully and grabbed his feet with a magic hand. With a thud, the school bully fell flat on his face. When he got up, two of his teeth were missing and his mouth was full of blood.
Seeing the miserable look of the school bully, William felt so happy. This guy had knocked William down before and scolded William for not having eyes. William rushed up and fought with this guy, but he didn't win. Today he finally got his revenge, and no one knew it was William who did it. The magician's hand is invisible, but I don't know if modern light wave instruments can detect it.
William thought that this was the University of London, so he had better be careful. If some instrument in the school discovered the fluctuation of his ability, he would be in trouble. William secretly warned himself not to recklessly, because there were too many people who had no money and power and could cause trouble for him. It would be better to use magic less, or never use it unless necessary.
While eating lunch, William was thinking about how to spend the least money to promote the game. He thought of Zuckerberg's Facebook, which was initially promoted through word of mouth in colleges and universities.
William wondered if he could do the same. This game was still quite popular in 2000. And because it was a computer game, the Plants vs. Zombies version had more grids than the one on a phone, making it more playable.
William borrowed the gameplay of Tetris and divided the game into three levels: easy, medium and death. The walking speed of zombies in each level is different. There will be an extra defense path after every 10 levels. There are a total of 10 defense paths, which is 4 more than in the previous life. This is much more difficult than the 6 defense paths.

The game should have a longer lifespan than its predecessor, and the first version only has 69 levels now, but it can be increased to 99 and 188 levels after the second version is released. In the future, it can also be made into an online mode, and designed into a four-corner defense mode based on the Warcraft RPG model.
Just thinking about William makes me feel that there is something to do.
Within three days, William received a notice from the copyright owner asking him to go to the copyright owner to receive the copyright certificate and pay the remaining fees.
The next morning, William signed the copyright agreement. Looking at the document bag in his hand, he realized that he had completed his first step in this world. Now he could promote the game according to his own ideas.
After getting the copyright certificate, Chen Mo took a CD with the printed game and walked towards the school's game club.
There are many interest clubs at the University of London. Many students on campus will bring their own games to the game interest clubs for others to try out. During the trial, they can test the playability of the game and find loopholes in the game.
Some games become popular in interest groups and are then spotted and promoted by game companies.
What William wants is the influence of the gaming club on young people. As long as it becomes popular in the University of London, it won't take long for it to spread to all universities and middle schools in London. Then it will be much easier for him to find agents to promote the game.
The London University Gaming Club is located in a three-story building in the Computer Science Department, which is the department's computer room.
The second and third floors are ordinary supercomputer rooms used by the school for teachers and students to conduct experiments. Many professors will bring students to conduct experiments and take classes here. The first floor is where various computer-related interest groups formed by students are located, and the gaming interest club is built here.
William pushed open the door of the gaming group's room and saw that in the 90-square-meter room, there were more than 30 computers sponsored by computer manufacturers. Dozens of students were gathered in front of the computers playing games and discussing something from time to time. Some guys were writing and drawing on the blackboards, and quarrels could be heard from time to time. It looked like a fight was about to break out.
William used to be a member of the gaming interest group. A few days ago, everyone knew that he was making games. When we saw him come in today with a CD in his hand, we knew that his game was finished.
A thin and tall white man with curly hair saw William and shouted, "Hey, guys, look who's here, isn't this our genius William Devonshire? Hurry up and show everyone the game you made. Let us see the difference between the games made by geniuses and those made by ordinary people like us."
William doesn't like this guy at all because he is a chatterbox. If you listen to him talk, he can talk to you for an hour without repeating himself. Moreover, this guy has no self-awareness and talks too much, so no one wants to pay attention to him.
William thought to himself, I'm not your father, why should I just look at it just because you say so? You have no eyesight at all, no wonder no one pays attention to you.
Richard Decker, a classmate who was close to William, said, "Come on, Worcester. Only William would listen to your nagging. Ask anyone else who can stand your incessant chatter. Go away and stay out of other people's way."
Richard Decker pushed Worcester away and said to Chen Mo: "William, ignore this guy. When no one talks to him, he will beg us for help."
William thinks I can't stand Worcester now, and it's better not to talk to me forever. William is now annoyed by this guy.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Since we were friends before and he doesn't like me now, there is no need to provoke Worcester. At worst, I can just stop contacting him in the future.
William smiled and said to Richard: "Come and see the game I made, I think you will like it"
William pulled Richard to the computer he had just played on, inserted the CD and copied the game into the computer. The computers here cannot be copied, and Chen Mo has the copyright in his hands, so he is not afraid of anyone hacking his game.
If it could make the game famous in school, he would be willing to install it on all the computers in the school.
After installing the game, William gave up his seat to Richard.
Richard sat on a chair and William stood beside him teaching him. Many classmates heard Chen Mo and the others talking, and knew that William had finished the game, so they gathered around curiously.
It was Richard's first time playing and he was not familiar with the game yet, so William had to keep introducing some gameplay and strategies to him. However, this guy's gaming talent was really nothing, and William was worried about him.
Plants vs. Zombies on the computer is much more difficult than on the mobile phone. William taught Richard a few games, but seeing that this guy still couldn't beat the first small level and didn't listen to other people's advice, he simply stayed aside and watched Richard become more and more energetic as he was beaten more and more.
Many European and American players really have some tendency to abuse others. The more they are abused by the game, the happier they are.
William really couldn't understand this.
