Zhou Ji didn’t hesitate to take back his hand from the priest’s grasp, “No.”

The priest: “……”

The priest was a little dissatisfied, “Why not?”

Why not? Of course it was because he didn’t want to perform tribal dances or chant.

Also.. It wasn’t relaxing to be a priest in a small tribe like this.

Priest didn’t need to hunt and didn’t need to go gathering. The best parts of the meat from every hunt was given to the priest, and it looked like a pretty good life, but in fact, the priest was actually always extremely busy.

When people in the tribe encountered something they weren’t able to solve, they would all go and find the priest to deal with it. The priest was also responsible for many things within the tribe and also oversaw the planting of the land–The people of the Big Bear Tribe hadn’t yet learned how to farm in a systematic way, but they already knew some simple planting methods. For example, they would scatter some seeds and plant some varieties of edible grasses in the area, and then tell the other people in the tribe not to harvest it all, and so on.

To sum it up, if people were sick, they would go to the priest; when children awakened, they would go to the priest; if someone died, they would go to the priest; even if someone was about to have a child, they would also go and look for the priest to have him help deliver the baby.

The priest was really very busy, to the point where he didn’t even have time to leave the tribe and wander around outside.

Zhou Ji wasn’t interested in giving himself that much work at all.

Hadn’t he already spent enough days being so busy he couldn’t even sleep properly during the apocalypse? Why would he find more work for himself?

Zhou Ji: “I’m lazy.”

The priest: “……” He had thought of many possibilities, and this was the only one he hadn’t thought of!

Zhou Ji was actually unwilling to become a priest because he was lazy!

The corner of the priest’s lips twitched. He felt a little bitter and resentful, “You finally became smarter due to the Beast God’s blessing, but to go so far to say you’re unwilling to do anything due to laziness… How will you live in the future?”

“Xiong Ye will take care of me.” Zhou Ji laughed.

The priest really wanted to drive Zhou Ji out of his cave.

Zhou Ji spoke with a serious expression, “Grandpa Priest, I just want to be with Xiong Ye and live a quiet life. I don’t want to worry about so many things.”

The priest glanced at Zhou Ji, and Zhou Ji continued, “I did indeed receive a gift from the Beast God. After my mother died, I suddenly learned and understood many things. I’m willing to contribute to the tribe, but I don’t want to become a priest.”

“What do you now know?” The priest’s face was full of excitement.

Zhou Ji: “For example, senna leaf’s function. I inexplicably know what these plants can do when I see them.”
