The recent artbook giveaway for Honkai Impact 3rd has become a source of amusement in the community. After the last few thousand copies were snatched up by players, the remaining stock count didn't hit zero—instead, it skyrocketed to over 4.2 billion. Even more awkward, the glitch remained unfixed for over half an hour.
Faced with this absurd scene, many players who managed to snag a copy were left stunned, witnessing what netizens call a 'public execution' of the programming team. There were even 19 players who managed to squeeze into the queue right before the glitch, becoming witnesses to this coding disaster.
Tech-savvy onlookers quickly jumped in to analyze the cause: it was a classic case of 'integer underflow.' Experts pointed out that 4,294,967,296 is exactly 2 to the power of 32. This indicates that the programmer used an unsigned long integer to track stock, which wrapped around after falling below zero. Players joked that the developer was likely still asleep, while others humorously imagined the programmer facing a rough performance review the next morning.
