In the space, three million mu of grain crops had ripened, and a large group of puppets were harvesting them at full capacity.
To preserve these grains, Xiao Fei had also specially built 1,000 large warehouses, and half of them were already filled with grain.
Each warehouse was equipped with a Grand Spirit Gathering Array, as well as arrays for purification and preservation, which could keep the grain for thousands of years without spoiling.
Moreover, under the nourishment of spiritual energy, the quality of the grain could be further enhanced.
Since occupying the entire Giant World, Xiao Fei had organized the giants to vigorously engage in production, encouraging the stockpiling of grain and preparedness for emergencies.
Due to the excessive population and the large appetites of the giants, even if all arable land was planted with grain, it was still far from enough to eat.
Previously, the wealthy families or nobles in each city could still eat their fill every day, while everyone else was half-starved.
Every day, the first thought upon waking was how to get food, how to get more food, and how to continue surviving.
They would often fight desperately for a meal.
Xiao Fei's most enticing slogan when he mobilized them to follow him into life-or-death battles was that everyone could eat their fill.
Therefore, after conquering cities, Xiao Fei first eliminated the noble groups in each city, distributing their accumulated grain and land to the city residents.
This temporarily satisfied the giants who followed him.
However, the so-called nobles in each city originally only had more people in their families, could eat their fill, and occasionally had a meal of meat; they were not particularly wealthy.
Now, with all the land divided equally for everyone to cultivate, they still couldn't eat their fill. The land each person could receive was limited, which was simply not enough.
The only progress now was that as long as one was diligent and frugal, they no longer had to worry about starving to death.
Therefore, after Xiao Fei occupied the cities, before he could even begin ideological reform, when he recruited troops for the entire city, he still received a response from everyone.
They all wanted to join his army to get a meal, and the risk of dying was not important; living itself was a risk.
The vast amount of grain Xiao Fei had stockpiled in his space was prepared for recruiting troops.
By the time he filled all these granaries in his space, it was estimated that it would be enough to supply the entire Giant Realm for a year.
He recruited about 100 people from each city, supplied by the grain grown in his space.
These people were now undergoing training, but progress was very slow due to the extreme difficulty in finding talented individuals in this area.
This gave Xiao Fei a sense of urgency.
Since the appearance of that black dog last time, this feeling of insecurity had frequently surfaced.
Especially this time, two powerful figures from the upper realm simultaneously appeared in the Heavenly Origin Realm, both targeting his jade disc.
Although these two great figures were tricked by him, they likely wouldn't die easily, and they might still find their way back here in the future.
At that time, a powerful and well-trained giant army would be his guarantee of safety.
Each giant possessed the strength of the Integration stage, and the combat power of hundreds or thousands of people gathered together was not to be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei cast his divine sense to peek into the rooms where everyone was in seclusion.
There was no other way; this was his space, and he was the master of this small world.
To them, these were rooms with thick walls, but to Xiao Fei, it was all air.
He found that everyone was progressing rapidly. Ji Wudi had already broken through to the mid-Integration stage and seemed to have encountered a bottleneck, pacing in his room.
Huang Feifei had also successfully broken through to the Integration stage, and her cultivation had now stabilized.
Xiao Fei also entered the room and brought Ji Wudi and Huang Feifei out.
However, when the two entered, they were on the Southern Wasteland Continent, and when they emerged, the surrounding scenery had changed drastically.
Ji Wudi looked at the scenery around him, which had all grown several times larger, and he was not even as tall as a blade of grass.
Huang Feifei had also been in seclusion in Xiao Fei's room before, so she knew that entering and exiting would not be in the same place.
However, this was her first time in the Giant World, and she found the surroundings very novel.
Especially seeing Xiao Fei transformed into a giant, the two even suspected if they had shrunk after their seclusion, becoming ant-people.
Xiao Fei bent down, looking at the two stunned figures standing beneath his crotch, and found it quite amusing.
He extended a hand, lifting the two into his palm, and brought them closer to his eyes.
The two of them were only as big as his finger.
"Boss, what's going on?"
"Did you get bigger, or did we shrink?"
Ji Wudi curiously asked the question that concerned him most.
"Look at the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees. Of course, you've shrunk. You're not even as big as my eagle now."
This guy used to flaunt his muscular physique by going shirtless. Xiao Fei, seizing this opportunity, naturally wanted to tease him.
"A scholar can be killed, but not insulted!"
Ji Wudi was furious.
"Alright, alright! It's fine if you're bigger than an eagle."
Ji Wudi picked up his golden greatsword and stabbed it into Xiao Fei's palm, actually creating a small bloody hole.
Xiao Fei pinched Ji Wudi with two fingers and roughly manhandled him.
Huang Feifei watched the two quarrel and some uncivilized jokes between men, blushing and lowering her head.
"Actually, we have already arrived in the Giant World, and this is my giant clone."
After playing for a while, Xiao Fei finally told them the truth.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately assumed a defensive posture.
They had witnessed the strength of the giants; dozens of giants had once destroyed the entire Southern Wasteland Continent.
Now, having personally arrived in the Giant World, the dangers within could be imagined even by their knees.
Even with their current Integration stage strength, on someone else's territory, they had to keep their tails tucked.
"Hahaha..."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fei burst into hearty laughter at this, his voice so loud that the surrounding air buzzed.
"I advise you not to be too arrogant, lest you attract enemies."
Even the usually warlike Ji Wudi could only warn Xiao Fei to be low-key.
"Now the entire Giant World belongs to me!"
"Feifei, look, this is the empire I've conquered!"
Xiao Fei extended his large hand, pointing into the distance and waving gently, with a sense of ruling the world.
Ji Wudi was still half-doubting, but Huang Feifei had long since believed it, now looking at Xiao Fei with eyes sparkling with little stars.
Her man had always been this outstanding, conquering a world or two when he had nothing else to do, wasn't that normal!
Xiao Fei took the two around the Giant World several times.
Although they were convinced in their hearts, they were still shocked to see rows of giants bowing respectfully to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei brought the two out not to show off, but to have them help him with tasks.
Giants were generally strong-limbed and simple-minded. He desperately needed talented individuals now.
Even someone like Ji Wudi, whose head was filled with muscle, could be considered exceptionally intelligent and unique in the Giant World.
Ji Wudi quickly accepted his commission, responsible for leading a group of giants in blacksmithing.
Now that the entire Giant World was under his control, there was no shortage of mineral resources.
However, to forge these resources into weapons and equipment for the giant soldiers, there was a severe lack of professional technical talent.
Ji Wudi happened to have some skill in artifact refining, and from now on, all matters related to weapon and equipment manufacturing would be entrusted to him.
As for Huang Feifei, being Xiao Fei's devoted fan, Xiao Fei planned for her to establish a religious sect, so that all giants in the world would believe in and worship Xiao Fei.
For these simple-minded giants lacking critical thinking skills, controlling them with fanatical faith was the most suitable approach.
Ten lectures on grand principles were not as effective as one or two sentences of deception.
As for their identities, with Xiao Fei personally vouching for them, it would be easy to gain trust.
Furthermore, he would dispatch Han Er and Han San, each leading a small team, to follow the commands of the two, serving as their military support.
From Han Yi to Han Shi, they were all people he had recruited early on and had long since been converted into his fanatical followers.
They could execute Xiao Fei's orders without reservation and had already become his great generals.
