In order to secure more population, Rocky, Karina, and Berg spared no effort in this matter and each of them was far from modest.
"Berg, Rocky, I'll trade you each one thousand people for twenty tons of Magic Stone."
Facing Rocky and Berg, Karina directly proposed to exchange the Magic Stone she had previously acquired for their populations.
Karina's Rose City already had over seven thousand residents, so if she could exchange for two thousand people from Rocky and Berg, plus the thousand she was entitled to, the population of Rose City would officially break ten thousand, allowing her to start upgrading the city to a medium size!
"No way, no way, this won't do."
However, facing her proposal, neither Berg nor Rocky agreed, shaking their heads as if they were ratchet drums, definitively refusing.
