String scattering amplitudes in the high energy asymptotic region have been
studied by saddle point approximation. Recently, it was pointed out that
infinitely many complex saddles contribute to string amplitudes even at
tree-level after redefining the original formal integration contour so that the
new contour analytically continues amplitudes appropriately. It is a
challenging problem to identify which saddles contribute to higher genus
corrections of string amplitudes. In this paper, we construct QFT toy models
which have the same infinite mass tower as string amplitudes but ignoring
degeneracies. Their higher loop Feynman diagrams are evaluated by identifying
their contributing complex saddles. We find that the saddles associated with
infinitely many stringy excitations provide highly oscillatory terms to the
amplitudes. We conjecture that string amplitudes, as functions of momenta,
approach multi-fractal functions in the high energy asymptotic regions if
higher genus contributions are fully included. Their fractal dimensions should
be determined purely by the type of string theory and the spacetime dimension
where string scatterings occur.
