About

Tulip Catcher

Read full description

I'm out of tulips, and they mentioned that there is a simple job, putting on a balaclava and waiting outside a vivarium. Other people inside the vivarium will be in charge of throwing the old-fashioned tulips and rewards into bags, I must catch the bags that fall and we will divide the loot. It is necessary to take precautionary measures, I have heard that in some vivariums they place bags of fake tulips that explode into a thousand pieces, making anyone near the explosion lose consciousness.
