When he arrived at the front desk, Chen Mo said to the receptionist, "Hello, my name is William Devonshire. I called to make an appointment the day before yesterday."
The receptionist checked the brochure and said to William, "Hello, Mr. Devonshire, please come with me."
Chen Mo was accompanied by the receptionist to submit all kinds of materials.
Chen Mo followed the staff's instructions and made three copies of the story and game design for Plants vs Zombies. He stamped the first draft and the second draft, signed his name and thumbprint on them.
He put the second copy in a file and kept two copies for himself. The first copy was also sealed and stamped. Chen Mo followed the advice of the staff and mailed it to himself at the post office.
The advantage of this was that if there was a copyright dispute, Chen Mo could take out the unopened mail with the stamp and date of the post office as proof. It would be easier to fight a lawsuit.
Since it was an original story and game design, it would take three days for the copyright to be approved.
While waiting for the copyright to be registered, Chen Mo would run to the school's soccer field whenever he had nothing to do and stay behind the goal. He wanted to test the effects of his spells, but he didn't dare to use his spells. He didn't want to be treated as a monster in this world without magic. He could only test invisible spells that normal people couldn't see or feel. Mental strength and the Magician's Hand were invisible spells, so when the ball flew towards the goal, William used the Magician's Hand on the ball and the ball's flight path would change.
The football either deviated from the goal, or when the goalkeeper made a mistake, the ball that could be pounced on suddenly changed its flight path. After two days, William was chased away by the players on the field. Fortunately, everyone only thought that this guy was a jinx. Since William stayed on the track behind this goal, this goal had not scored many goals in the two days.
After being chased out of the soccer field, William either went to class or wandered around the school. During lunch, William ran into the school bully of the rowing team. This guy had bullied William before.
The guy was holding a plate and chatting with a beautiful girl. William saw the opportunity and used his mental power to raise the guy's right hand. The plate in the guy's hand flew over the girl's head. Bang! William felt pain for the girl.
The school bully stared at the girl who was splashed with juice. He didn't know why this happened. He only felt someone raise his right hand and the plate flew away.
When the school bully came back to his senses, he chased after the beautiful girl who had broken up with him. Before the school bully could run, William grabbed the school bully's leg with his Magician's Hand. Plop! The school bully fell to the ground. When he got up, he had lost two teeth and his mouth was filled with blood.
Looking at the school bully's miserable state, William was very happy. This guy had knocked down William before and scolded William for being blind. William rushed up and fought with this guy, but he didn't win. Today, he finally got his revenge, and no one knew that it was William who did it. Magician's Hand was invisible, but he didn't know if modern light wave equipment could detect it.
William thought that this was the University of London, so it was better to be careful. If any of the school's instruments detected the fluctuation of his ability, then he would be in trouble. William secretly warned himself that he couldn't act recklessly. There were too many people without money or power who could cause trouble for him. It was better to use less magic, or absolutely not use it unless absolutely necessary.
While eating lunch, William thought about how he could spend the least amount of money to promote the game. He thought about how Niuck Zuckerberg's Facebook page had been slowly spread from person to person in high schools.
Chen Mo wondered if he could do the same. This game was very attractive in the year 1900. Because it was a computer game, there were more Plants vs Zombies in this time and space than on a mobile phone, so it was more playable.
Using the gameplay of Tetris as a reference, Chen Mo divided the game into three levels: easy, medium, and death. The speed of the zombies in each level was different. Every ten levels, there would be an extra defensive path. There were a total of ten defensive paths, four more than in his previous life. This was much more difficult than six defensive paths.
The lifespan of the game should be longer than in his previous life. Moreover, the first version only had 69 levels. When the second version came out, it could increase to 99 and 188 levels. In the future, it could also be made into an online mode and be designed according to the Warcraft RPG model.
Chen Mo felt that this was a good idea.
Chen Mo received a notice from the copyright owner in less than three days, asking him to go to the copyright owner to receive the copyright certificate and pay the remaining fees.
The next morning, Chen Mo received the copyright owner and looked at the file in his hand. His first step in this world was complete. Now, he could promote the game according to his own ideas.
After receiving the copyright certificate, Chen Mo took a CD of the game to the school's gaming club.
There were many gaming clubs in the University of London. Many students would bring their own games to the gaming club for people to try out. During the trial, they could try out the game's playability and find loopholes in the game.
Some games became popular in the gaming club and were promoted by game developers.
What Chen Mo wanted was for the gaming club to have an influence on young people. As long as it became popular in the University of London, it wouldn't take long for it to be promoted in all the universities and high schools in London. Then, it would be much easier for him to find an agent to promote the game.
The University of London's gaming club was located in a small three-story building in the Computer Science Department. This was the computer room of the department.
The second and third floors were ordinary supercomputing rooms used by the school for teachers and students to conduct experiments. Many professors would take students to conduct experiments while conducting classes. The first floor was for various computer-related interest groups formed by students. The gaming interest club was built here.
Chen Mo pushed open the door to the gaming club's room and saw more than 30 sponsored computers in the 90 square meter room. Dozens of students were playing games in front of the computers and discussing something from time to time. A few guys were even writing and drawing on a few blackboards. From time to time, there was an argument, and it looked like a fight was about to break out.
Chen Mo used to be a member of the gaming club. A few days ago, everyone knew that he was working on a game. Today, when they saw him come in with a CD in his hand, they knew that his game was done.
A tall, skinny white guy with curly hair saw Chen Mo and shouted, "Hey guys, look who's here. Isn't this our genius William Devonshire? Quick, take out your game and show it to us. Let's see how a genius' game is different from ours. "
Chen Mo didn't like this guy at all because this guy was a chatterbox. If you listened to him talk, he could talk for an hour without repeating himself. Moreover, this guy didn't have any self-awareness and talked too much. Everyone didn't like to talk to him.
Chen Mo thought to himself, I'm not your father. Why do you have to look at it just because you say so? No wonder no one likes to talk to you.
A classmate who was on good terms with Chen Mo, Richard Dirk, said, "Come on, Wooster. Only William would listen to your nagging. Ask the others who can stand your endless mouth. If you have nothing to do, go away. Don't block other people's way."
Richard Dirk pushed Wooster aside and said to Chen Mo, "William, ignore this guy. When no one talks to him, he'll beg us."
Chen Mo thought to himself, I can't stand Wooster anymore. It's best if he never talks to me again. William was annoyed by this guy.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. Since they used to be friends, there was no need to provoke Wooster now that he didn't like him.
Chen Mo smiled and said to Richard, "Buddy, come and take a look at the game I made. I think you'll like it."
Chen Mo pulled Richard to the computer he was playing on. He inserted the disc and copied the game into the computer. The computers here couldn't be copied. Besides, Chen Mo had the copyright, so he wasn't afraid that someone would hack his game.
If he could make the game famous in school, he was willing to install it on all the computers in school.
After installing the game, Chen Mo gave up his seat to Richard.
Richard sat on the chair while Chen Mo stood beside him and taught him. Many students heard Chen Mo and the others talking and knew that Chen Mo had finished the game. They gathered around curiously.
It was Richard's first time playing, so he wasn't familiar with the game. William had no choice but to stay by his side and introduce the game's gameplay and strategies to him. However, this guy's gaming talent wasn't anything special. William was getting anxious for him.
The Plants vs Zombies game on the computer was much more difficult than the one on the phone. William taught Richard a few rounds, but seeing that this guy still couldn't get past the first stage and didn't listen to other people's suggestions, he decided to just stand by the side and watch as Richard got more and more spirited.
Many Western players had the tendency to abuse their opponents. The more they were abused, the happier they would be.
Chen Mo couldn't understand this.
