Soon, Sam shook his head and murmured, "There's no time to waste on these," as he glanced towards his backpack. A grin appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "I just have to wait for the timeline to finish, and on that day, I can upgrade the link function." Sam's thoughts continued to wander, but he soon completed his packing for the trip to the imperial city.
If you were to ask whether Sam was excited or not, the answer is a resounding yes. He couldn't contain his excitement about seeing the imperial city in person, even though he had encountered it countless times in manga according to his memories from a previous life. Experiencing it in reality was an entirely different level of excitement.
