The main character squinted his eyes in confusion but it didn't take long for him to figure things out.
'So I guess this is the second transformation of the coin... Hmmm, but what does it do? I only knew of the stick transformation but not this...'
He closely examined the donkey but besides the bell on its neck, it was just another donkey. Whilst he was examining it, the donkey had been curiously looking around as if fascinated by all it saw. It lowered its head and took a whiff of the carpet before retracting its head. Spotting the bathtub in the corner, the donkey slowly made its way toward it before giving it a whiff.
'What is this donkey up to??' thought the teen but what happened next he would have never expected. The donkey opened its mouth to reveal a pair of surprisingly straight and white rows of teeth. It then chomped down onto the bathtub, easily ripping off that piece with its teeth. It then chewed it as if it was a clump of grass.
'What is the absolute fuck is thattt?!?!?'
The donkey just kept chewing before swallowing it and leaning in for a second bite, watching this the main character immediately tried pulling the donkey back but it was as if he tried pulling a mountain.
'What a sturdy mfkr, the damn thing isn't moving an inch!!'
The more he tried the more his efforts seemed to be in vain as the donkey didn't move or halt its actions, inevitably taking another bite off the bathtub. In an attempt to stop it, the main character even tried pulling on its ears. But contrary to his hopes, what happened next was entirely outside the realm of expectation.
From the left ear of the donkey, a small golden coin fell out. The MC who was too busy trying to move the donkey was confused out of his actions by the sudden sound of a coin dropping. He stood upright before looking around trying to find what had made the noise. That was when he spotted a small golden coin. He crouched down and picked up the coin, examining it with curiosity.
The coin was flat and round and had a basic design. On one of its faces there was an updent in the form of a donkey with a bell around its neck. On the other face was an updent of the Roman number one, surrounded with various different designs of flowers and veins.
Looking at the coin and back at the donkey the MC thought of the correlation.
'It's obvious this is somehow connected to the donkey, but the question is how... Retracing my steps, the coin fell down when I was pulling on the donkey. To be more specific, pulling on its ears. Could it be that with every pull on its ear it drops a coin?? Wait wouldn't that mean all my money problems will disappear??? Holy shit!'

[Reader]: Hey, hey, hey, don't get too excited. First check before getting excited, that way if things don't go your way you won't get disappointed.
[Author]: Actually, he was pretty spot on with his deduction...
[BOB.C]: You serious??? Fuck yeeeeaaaaa!!!!!
* * *
Getting confirmation from the [Author], the main character was ecstatic. He quickly went up to the donkey who was chewing on the chunks of the bathtub and tugged on its ear. But nothing happened.
'Did that mfkr lie to me???'
He then tugged on the other ear which to his excitement dropped a coin right after.
'HOLY SHIT, I'M RICH!! I'M FUCKING RICH!!!!!!'
He continued to pull on the ear making another three coins fall. But after the last coin, no more came out. Seeing this, he thought of why it might have happened.
'Considering this donkey drops coins out its ear, It's not gonna dispense them indefinitely. There must be some sort of limitation it cant bypass or some source from which all this is possible, but what could that be...'
Observing the donkey, he noted how the donkey had taken its fifth bite... 'Wait, the fifth bite??'
As soon as the donkey swallowed the "food" in its mouth, the MC hurriedly pulled at its ear. And lo and behold, a coin dropped.
'So the source must be the "food" the donkey eats. That would mean for every bite I get a gold coin! HOLY FUCK, I REALLY AM RICH!!!!'
Thinking up to here, he was faced with another conundrum. Should he stop it from eating the bathtub or not? Because on one hand, a missing bathtub was conspicuous, but on the other hand, a bathtub with literal bite marks and chunks of it missing was waaaay more conspicuous.
'I should let it finish eating, don't see any problems with that'

[Author]: No problems besides the fact that you're basically stealing...
[BOB.C]: Man stfu, they got like a begilion bathrooms in this mansion so they probably won't notice this missing.
[Reader]: Don't forget they got like a begilion housekeeper too, so one of them is bound to find this irregularity.
[BOB.C]: I wouldn't care cuz by that time I'd be long gone.
[Author]: Oh really...
[BOB.C]: Yes?
[Author]: Oh realllllllly...
[BOB.C]: Hey, hey, hey, why u say it like that???
[Author]: Like what?...
[BOB.C]: Why do u keep putting those stupid dots after everything you say??? It's as if ur smirking! Wt type of scheme are u cooking up?! Wt type of plot are you plotting, hmmmm?! How are you going to fuck with me next!!!!
[Author]: Jeez Louise, someone is self-centered...
[BOB.C]: You're writing a story in which I'm the main character... EVERYTHING IS & SHOULD BE ABOUT ME!
[Reader]: tagged[Author]: Shiiiiiiii, he got you there.
[Author]: Tall words when the novel isn't even named after you...
[BOB.C]: Thats a lie. Complete lie.
[Reader]: It's rly not tho...
[BOB.C]: Nah I ain't gon believe you.

Dismissing the lies, the MC hurriedly waited for the donkey to finish its meal. And after almost half an hour, it finally did. Seeing that the donkey was about to start eating the sink, the MC quickly placed his hand on it and commanded it to revert back to its coin self. The donkey exploded with golden light before transforming back into a coin again.
He picked it up with a smile as well as the others. He then dispelled the curtain he had created before leaving through the door. On his way out he saw a maid walking in his direction which prompted him to walk faster. For some reason though she seemed to be walking straight at him.
"Youngmaster where have you been??" The maid asked in concern.
"I was just in the bathroom taking a bath, why... Did something happen?"
"The sect Master and the Prince have been looking for you for a while now, the whole house has been looking for you actually..."
