In the following days, Xiao Fei found over a dozen more crops commonly eaten by the Giant race in the city's marketplace, and planted them all in his space.
The five "Overlord Potatoes" alone, cut into large chunks, occupied ten mu of land.
There was also a grain crop similar to rice, called Blood Fang Rice.
This rice was as thick as an arm and a foot long, appearing crystal clear and possessing a fragrant, chewy, and refreshing taste.
Blood Fang Rice was more expensive than meat, considered a luxury item in the Giant realm.
To purchase the Blood Fang Rice, Xiao Fei spent almost all the Source Crystals from the bald giants, barely enough to plant ten mu of it.
As for the remaining grain crops, he only planted small amounts of each.
Only twenty years passed in his space, and the ten mu of Overlord Potatoes he had planted had already grown, the seedlings reaching over ten zhang tall.
Xiao Fei attempted to dig up one of the seedlings. Beneath this seedling, eight Overlord Potatoes of various sizes had grown, each the size of a room.
One Overlord Potato could be sold for one Source Crystal, so this single plant yielded eight Source Crystals.
The yield was quite good!
Xiao Fei collected these Overlord Potatoes and released a group of puppets, assigning them to harvest the other Overlord Potatoes.
In total, these ten mu of land yielded four to five hundred Overlord Potatoes.
He took them to the marketplace and sold them all with ease, earning over 400 Source Crystals.
The population of the Giant race had increased significantly over the years, and food was becoming increasingly scarce, with prices steadily rising.
Consequently, food items were in high demand, and many people engaged in the business of buying low and selling high.
The objective of invading the Tian Yuan Realm had not been achieved, and instead, dozens of young and middle-aged men had died.
The number of deaths was quickly replenished by new births, and food remained insufficient. In this world of the strong, some people even starved to death.
Some adolescents, due to insufficient food, experienced stunted growth, and even upon reaching adulthood, failed to attain the height of normal adult giants.
Due to the Giants' unique physiology, a lack of height naturally meant significantly weaker strength compared to normal adult giants.
Therefore, food items were extremely sought after in the Giant realm, and many people engaged in the business of buying low and selling high.
After selling the Overlord Potatoes, Xiao Fei planted another thousand mu in his space.
These crops only took twenty years to mature, which for him, was merely a wait of three months.
Following that, the Blood Fang Rice he had planted also matured. It was also ten mu of land, and its growth period was ten years longer, yet its yield was only one-fifth of the Overlord Potatoes.
However, after selling only half of this Blood Fang Rice, the Source Crystals earned far exceeded that from the Overlord Potatoes.
He also cooked some Blood Fang Rice himself to try. The taste was unique and very fragrant.
Especially the rich "Overlord" essence contained within it, which caused his body, stagnant for a long time, to grow several inches taller.
It seemed there was a reason for its high price.
He instructed his puppets to clear out ten thousand mu of land in his space and plant Blood Fang Rice on all of it.
His space possessed 360,000 mu of land, so clearing ten thousand mu had little impact.
Planting Blood Fang Rice in the Giant realm involved many intricate details, but in his space, the puppets could simply plant it casually, and it would be ready for harvest at the appointed time.
Three months passed quickly, and it was harvest time again.
First came the Overlord Potatoes. The puppets harvested them in the space while Xiao Fei was responsible for selling them in the marketplace. These were easy to sell, with demand far exceeding supply, and were quickly sold out.
The thousand mu of Overlord Potatoes yielded over fifty thousand Source Crystals.
Based on his experiments, the energy contained in the Source Crystals of the Giant realm was more potent than the high-grade spirit stones of the cultivation world.
One Source Crystal was approximately equivalent to ten high-grade spirit stones.
With the fifty thousand Source Crystals he had now harvested, he had entered the ranks of the wealthy in the Giant realm.
However, when the Blood Fang Rice was harvested, it was not as easy to sell. Grain that was more expensive than meat could only be afforded by relatively wealthy families like his.
In this city of over a thousand people, there were over two hundred households. Wealthy families numbered only a little over ten.
The rest were all poor, with about half barely managing to survive, and the other half having serious survival issues, worrying about their next meal after having just eaten.
Xiao Fei had to personally visit these dozen or so families, promoting his goods one by one. The sales were not very substantial, and he estimated they would become stagnant.
Now, only the last major household remained in the city, the richest in this city. Their surname was Man, and the head of the family seemed to be named Man Ju. They were considered a local powerful clan.
The richest family also had the most members, with over thirty people, young and old, all looking rosy and healthy.
Upon seeing Xiao Fei arrive to promote his goods, a man with a scar on his face eyed him with interest.
"I heard you've been selling a lot of grain recently? How much do you have left? I'll take it all."
"I have about one million catties of Blood Fang Rice left. Are you sure you want it all?"
The ten thousand mu of Blood Fang Rice in his space this time had yielded twenty million catties, and only a few hundred thousand catties had been sold so far.
Given the Giants' physique, they would consume at least ten thousand catties a day. This wasn't actually a lot, but the price was too high; ten thousand catties cost a hundred Source Crystals, which most people couldn't afford.
"So much? I'll take it all! Take me to see it."
Xiao Fei readily led the scarred man towards his residence and opened a warehouse, revealing a warehouse filled with crystal-clear Blood Fang Rice.
Upon seeing this, the scarred man's eyes gleamed green, his greed unconcealed.
"Good! My family lost a warehouse of Blood Fang Rice, and it turns out you stole it!"
With that, he extended his large hand and lunged towards Xiao Fei.
Without hesitation, Xiao Fei immediately activated his laws to resist, and with a blink, he dodged out of the range of the claw.
Seeing the scarred man pursue him, Xiao Fei abandoned the rice and turned to flee the city.
However, the scarred man was not satisfied with just one warehouse of Blood Fang Rice; he also wanted to find the source of Xiao Fei's vast supply of grain.
There were only so many people in the city, and Xiao Fei had appeared suddenly with so much grain, which had already attracted the attention of the local powers.
Xiao Fei fled while the scarred man chased. Their speeds were comparable, but at a corner, Xiao Fei, who was fleeing ahead, suddenly disappeared.
The scarred man searched the vicinity several times but could not find any trace of Xiao Fei, so he had to return in frustration.
In the city, the Man family was already transporting the Blood Fang Rice from Xiao Fei's warehouse.
While sifting through the Blood Fang Rice, they discovered a fragrant aroma emanating from the grains, which was refreshing and made one feel exhilarated, as if floating.
"Excellent! This must be top-grade Blood Fang Rice."
A Man family giant grabbed a few crystal-clear grains of Blood Fang Rice and chewed them directly, filling his mouth with fragrance.
Others followed suit, grabbing raw rice and stuffing it into their mouths, eating it with exceptional sweetness.
On the other side, after escaping the scarred man's pursuit, Xiao Fei quietly sneaked back into the city, patiently waiting for an opportunity.
The Man family had set their sights on his grain, but had he not also set his sights on the wealth of the richest family!
Farming and selling grain was nowhere near as fast as robbing.
It was just that the Man family had too many people, and he was no match for them, which was why he had gone through such a roundabout way.
