Yeah, when Zhao Yunlan first visited Dixing, Shen Wei did mention that they had better night vision, and they had a completely different concept of time because day/night didn't exist! Shen Wei also mentioned that the 'peasants' so to speak were generally without powers, and that it was unpredictable when a Dixing person's powers would manifest.
The part that confused me was definitely the whole jobs thing. The rebellion 10k years ago was caused by the meteor ruining their underground resources, so where do they get their food and materials from? What exactly is the king reading/writing 24/7? Is one single guy handling all the budget/resource allocations? I would be curious to know how they're supporting what looks like a bunch of freeloaders wearing masks, making trouble in bars. :P
And yeah, when Zhao Yunlan went to the 'fortune teller' a.k.a. Din Dun who had the Dixing register, it looked like they used the same currency/money. And obviously Dixing had the resources to send people like Shen Wei up (and give him a credit card or something I guess to buy him a nice wardrobe)? I have to think there is probably some kind of sanctioned trade between Dixing and Haixing. Gems and things like that seem like good candidates.
Anyway, I've sent you a friend request on discord! Feel free to talk to me if you have any more thoughts on Dixing and general world-building :D
