Chapter 64 Anxiety

He smiled happily and looked up at Duan Shubai with admiration: "General, I can swim! Thank you, you are right, if you eat too much fish, you will not be afraid of water!"

"..."

Duan Shubai twitched his mouth slightly, and felt a little headache. For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He worked hard to push this timid duck into the water, and wasted a lot of time talking about the key points of swimming. Should he mourn his miserable doggy paddle with a sad face, or should he be relieved that at least he didn't drown himself in the river that he could step to the bottom with one foot?

After a moment of silence, Duan Shubai walked over, patted Shan Chen's thin shoulders, nodded sincerely and encouraged: "Yeah, very talented."

Shan Chen clenched his fists, his eyes shining, "General, I will continue to work hard."

"Come on!"

Duan Shubai didn't take this episode to heart. He didn't ask everyone to become a swimming champion. He just wanted to select a few talented swimmers to do special water training, form a small elite navy force and then slowly develop. Others, just hope they can fall into the water without drowning.

There is a lot of water in Yangzhou. If you accidentally fall into the water, you should at least have some ability to flutter and save yourself.

Learning the dog paddle is considered freestyle, and it's also... well, it's barely passed.

But Shan Chen became more and more courageous. In the days that followed, he went from being afraid of going into the water to actively going into the water, as if the drunk shrimp who got dizzy when seeing water before was not himself. He firmly believed that he could swim after eating fish, and his swimming ability became better and better every day. In addition to the doggy paddle, he also learned several other swimming methods, which made people around him marvel. This may be the powerful function of psychological effect.

After overcoming the fear of water, Duan Shubai was surprised to find that this doggy paddle guy who was afraid of water actually had a great talent for swimming.

After practicing for more than half a month, he was as slippery as a swimming fish, and could stay in the water for most of the day without coming out. He went into the water every day to catch several fish for snacks. He climbed ashore holding the fish, and the big fat black fish struggled and shook its tail in his hand. Shan Chen murmured: "Eating fish will make you swim better."

"Do you want to eat it too?"

Liu Dong and others shook their heads frantically.

Zhang Changle stood in front of Duan Shubai and laughed like crazy, "General, your push is amazing!"

Duan Shubai held his chin, "Is this general that amazing?"

"He should just be a little excited."

Duan Shubai originally thought that Shan Chen had changed from being afraid of water to being able to swim, but his push really caused a change like "a carp leaping over the dragon gate".

Two months later, Shan Chen won the first place in the military selection competition with his own ability and successfully became the captain of the navy team.

"Shan Chen, Shan Chen, this general really underestimated you."

"It's amazing, everyone has hidden talents."

More than a hundred sailors who were assigned will be stationed near Yangzhou Wharf in the future, and continue to recruit new candidates for military expansion and training.
