If players did not argue and only one player complained, Pei Qian could have acted like he did not hear a thing. Then, he would not have to do anything. However, from the way the situation was developing, if he continued not to do anything; the players would surely not let him off.
The players would become angered, and they might do a thorough search into Ghost General. Then, he would be in deep trouble!
One of the rules of the System was that he could not reveal or hint at the existence of the System to anyone. This meant that Pei Qian could only do unreasonable or illogical things in secret, but he could not allow the general public to become suspicious of him!
It would not be logical for Pei Qian not to update Ghost General since it was so profitable. If not for the fact that so many people were keeping up with Ghost General, Pei Qian would have been alright.
