Korean entertainment: I can steal the luck of celebrities with bad records.

Christmas afternoon, Starlight Home Welfare Home.

The children were all taking a nap, and Dean Cui also found a bed for Li Yuexi.

However, the proprietress woke up and sent a message to Lin Puzhi.

[Spring Bear: You do have a conscience.]

[Spring Bear: Come over early tonight.]

Lin Puzhi opened Cui Xueli's chat history, copied it, then opened the chat box with the boss's wife and pasted it.

【Lin Puzhi: (￣^￣)ゞ】

Sulli, your emoticons are so useful!

Jang Nara came in from outside, still carrying the chill of the snow. She glanced at the children who were napping and said in a low voice, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

Lin Puzhi nodded without asking any further questions.

Jang Nara returned an hour later.

The children, having finished their afternoon nap, were rubbing their eyes in the activity room. Li Yuexi had also woken up and was sitting on Lin Puzhi's lap, lost in thought. The door was pushed open, and a cold draft rushed in. The children all looked up at once.

Then they let out a deafening scream.

Jang Nara stood at the door.

She was dressed as Santa Claus—a red velvet coat with white fringed edges, a black leather belt around her waist, and a pointed Santa hat. The white pom-pom on the tip of the hat was askew, making her look less like Santa Claus and more like a mischievous elf from a comic book.

But the children didn't care about any of that; they only saw Santa Claus.

"Santa Claus!"

"It's Santa Claus!"

Several of the younger children rushed over and clung to Jang Nara's legs, refusing to let go. The older children also gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation.

Jang Nara smiled and patted their heads, then pulled out another bag from behind her back and threw it at Lim Pak-ji.

"your."

Lin Puzhi took the bag and opened it.

Then his face darkened; underneath was a reindeer costume.

A brown jumpsuit, a white belly, and a hat with reindeer antlers.

The most outrageous thing is that there are two small golden bells hanging on the antlers.

"What is this?"

"A reindeer costume," Jang Nara said matter-of-factly. "Santa Claus needs reindeer to pull his sleigh to deliver presents."

"I can be Santa Claus too."

"One Santa Claus is enough."

Jang Nara looked at him with a smile.

Lin Puzhi recognized that smile. This morning, after that smile appeared, the soft flesh around his waist was pinched for a full thirty seconds.

"Your Highness is truly wise," he replied, mimicking the tone of a palace eunuch. "You're not just playing yourself in the drama 'The Mischievous Princess,' are you?"

Jang Nara chuckled twice, indicating that she should keep her dissatisfaction to herself.

Lin Puzhi carried the reindeer costume into the bathroom, changed, and looked at himself in the mirror.

"It fits quite well. How did Jang Nara know his measurements?"

When Lin Puzhi walked out of the bathroom, Li Yuexi's eyes lit up.

"My brother is a deer!"

She ran over and stood on tiptoe to touch the antlers on his hat.

Lin Puzhi lowered his head and let her touch it, the bell jingling.

"Brother, the bell will ring when you bend over."

"I know."

"It sounds great."

"……Thanks."

Jang Nara also came over, her face beaming with barely suppressed laughter.

"So cute!"

Lin Puzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I really thank you."

Jang Nara walked to the center of the activity room and clapped her hands: "Alright, kids, line up, Santa Claus is going to give out presents."

The children immediately lined up in front of her, their eyes sparkling.

Dean Cui brought in two large bags from outside.

Jang Nara took out gift boxes from the bag and handed them out one by one.

When each child received their gift, she would say "Merry Christmas" and pat them on the head.

The Christmas gift boxes all had the children's names written on them. Lin Puzhi stood next to Zhang Nara, responsible for finding and handing out the gifts.

Each time he handed one over, the bell on the hat would ring once.

Ding-dong! A gift! [Good Deeds Points +2]

Ding-dong! Another gift! [Good Deeds Points +1]

Ding dong, another gift! [Good Deeds Value +3]

[Ding! Host's good deeds have reached 100. The system will unlock a new skill!]

The unlocking process will take 24 hours, during which time the system will be unavailable.

"The system actually upgraded?!"

Lin Puzhi was somewhat pleased, as he had long felt that the system was far too weak and was seriously holding him back.

If it were some kind of super-rich system or immortal cultivation system, he would have ruled the entire planet long ago.

If he could exchange systems, he would have done so long ago.

You can't stop me from moving towards a better system.

The children were reluctant to open their gifts, clutching them to their arms and guessing what was inside. Some said it was a robot, some said it was a Barbie doll, and some said it was a new crayon.

Li Yuexi also received one; she held the gift box but didn't open it.

"Don't you want to open it and take a look?" Lin Puzhi asked.

"I'll take it down when I get home," she said. "If I take it down now, there won't be any surprises when I get home."

After handing out the gifts, Jang Nara suggested playing hide-and-seek.

The children, of course, agreed.

The three adults pushed the tables and chairs in the activity room aside and started playing games.

In the first round, Dean Cui volunteered to be the ghost.

She blindfolded herself with a black cloth and began grabbing people.

Lin Puzhi was dressed as a reindeer, with bells jingling loudly, making him impossible to hide.

"Ah—brother, don't follow us! Your bell is too loud!"

"Lin Puzhi, don't hide behind me. This isn't a game of eagle catching chicks."

Lin Puzhi was hated by everyone and even dogs, and in the end, the children pushed him to Dean Cui's side to be the ghost in the second round.

Lin Puzhi didn't take out the black cloth; he simply zipped the reindeer costume all the way up so it wouldn't be visible.

However, the reindeer costume was not stitched tightly enough, and if the costume was close enough to his eyes, Lin Puzhi could vaguely see the figure in front of him.

The ghost opened its eyes.

But Lin Puzhi pretended not to see and continued to play the blind ghost.

He stretched out his hands, groping for the person hiding in the "darkness".

Jang Nara led the children to evade Lin Puzhi's search, while the most mischievous child in the orphanage broke away from the group and tugged at Lin Puzhi's antlers.

Yuexi followed the children to evade his search, her little face flushed red from running, she was very happy.

Lin Puzhi searched for four or five minutes but failed to catch anyone.

But in reality, he can win anytime he wants.

Ten years later, "Squid Game" became a global hit.

When a reporter asked director and screenwriter Hwang Dong-hyuk why the hide-and-seek game in "Squid Game" was designed so that the ghost could actually see people, and the game could only end when the participants discovered that the ghost was cheating.

He replied:

"This was the idea of ​​the male lead, Lin Puzhi."

"Those who hide believe that 'not being found' means safety, but they don't realize that the 'fair game' they see is just an illusion."

"Just like South Korean society, everyone is trying to follow a set of broken rules, which will inevitably lead to failure."
